JOMP BPC - April 19th - Ended Badly
my favourite form of storytelling are stories where you know it’s going to end in tragedy but the journey to how things play out is what makes the story worth telling 💙

I like to read books. And I read quite a lot of books, I think. In the Past year, I read a total of 123 full length books, and so I decided to pick my top 10 and write them down, in case anyone wants recommendations. I would do at least some research on all of these before reading, because most of them contain topics that could be very triggering.
The Girl In The Castle by James Patterson.
This Is Where It Ends by Marieke Nijkamp
We Were Liars by E. Lockhart
We Are Not From Here by Jenny Torres Sanchez
Loveless by Alice Oseman
We Set the Dark on Fire by Tehlor Kay Mejia
Kaleidoscope by Brian Selznick
One Of Us Is Lying by Karen M. McManus
Odd One Out by Nic Stone
Cinderella Is Dead by Kalynn Bayron
I also read a few graphic novels and my favorite was Long Way Down: The Graphic Novel by Jason Reynolds, Illustrated by Danica Novgorodoff(I would also recommend the novel, but I couldn't put it on the list as I did not read it in 2023).
My favorite poetry book I read was The Surrender Tree: Poems of Cuba’s Struggle for Freedom by Margarita Engle.

This Is Where It Ends | Marieke Mijkamp | 3.75 ⭐️ | Paperback | 282 pages | 3h 36mins
This was a very heavy overall topic with some intense topics within the story. This book had a lot of poor ratings on Goodreads but all the critiques of those poor reviews seemed to be an actual survivor or a school shooting vouching for the book, so there’s that. I thought it was a good book. It was interesting and well written for a YA. It starts very quickly too like chapter 2 so that is cool. There’s a lot of back story for the characters so even though it switches frequently through multiple POVs, you still get that attachment to the characters.

If my mom sees a significant amount of blood she gets lightheaded, and has fainted on some occasions. Once it happened when we were kids, I wasn't there to witness it but I heard the story from my dad. Basically my brothers, around 7 or 8 at the time, were playing outside while my mom was making their lunch, and she accidentally cut her finger. It wasn't anything serious, but it drew a fair bit of blood and she passed out. My dad saw this and rushed over, but he didn't really know what to do so he just sort of started slapping her to wake her up (not recommended, but he had no idea and panicked)
At that exact moment my brothers both came in from playing, and all they saw was our mom unconscious on the floor and our dad slapping her. So, like, without even saying a word to each other they both just INSTANTLY start whaling on him, like, full blown attack mode to defend our mom. Which obviously didn't help the situation, but she did wake up and everything was fine.
Now our dad says that he's actually really glad they attacked him over what they thought was going on, because it means he raised good boys. And I still think that's true, they're very good boys.

I'm leaving not to be spiteful but to be free of it, because i don't want to keep having to become hurtful and insulting to prove a point. Staying in this situation is only turning me into the worst version of myself (that i've spent years healing from) and i'm not down to see how much worse i can get.
