I need to stop reading books with no fandoms. I won’t. but also how many times can I be the only one loosing my mind over here!! i go to the tag and it’s just pretty pictures and book reviews like where is the soul wrenching agony my dudes!! have you not been shredded to bits? A piece of yourself lost? Why are you so calm right now!!
#finishing a book only to find there is absolutely no fan content#nothing where you can see others thoughts#know what else stood out to people#commiserate over different parts!!#grrr#skin of the sea#the bone houses#those are the two it’s happened with most recently but it has happened in the past as well#why aren’t people reading the things I’m reading#but also no don’t read them they’re mine#/j#random#reading

Favorite book of 2022
Least favorite book of 2022
War Girls has such a cool premise, but it all annoyed me. The goodreads/storygraph review i did said "Three different times I thought to myself, wow the book could've just ended here. Then I get near the end and think "ok I'm invested in the actual ending" Then I get to the end and....I'm upset."
At 1st I thought it was written the way it was because they didn't give an extended book deal so the author had to write 3 stories unto 1 and rush the book because he didn't have enough pages similar to Deathless Divide by Justina Ireland but no there's a sequel. Its gonna be a series.

Drawing of Simidele from “Skin of the Sea” by Natasha Bowen! I bought it at my school’s scholastic book fair last semester and absolutely fell in love with it 😍 it’s all about west African folklore, Yoruba orisas, and follows Simidele, a mami wata.

Quote
As I soar through the salt-filled air, I let the rest of my tears fall, and when I open my eyes, it is to a cold sea, washing them away.
