Finished Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

[alasy]

imagine asking an old lady "what is the nature of your relationship with my father" and getting, as a response, a 470 pages manuscript that basically tells the story of all the sexual adventures this woman had throughout her life instead, only to introduce the father in question on the last 80 pages. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't exactly appreciate it but maybe that's just me

Leitura Atual:

3º volume da saga A Mediadora: Reunião

Sinopse:

Em REUNIÃO, terceiro livro da série A mediadora, Suzannah ainda sofre com sua paixão platônica por Jesse. Nada demais para uma adolescente. Só que o rapaz morreu há quase dois séculos e ‘vive’ assombrando o quarto de Suzannah, em sua nova casa, na costa oeste americana. Entre a juventude platinada local, no melhor estilo de OC, a menina tenta se adaptar ao novo colégio e à nova família, herdada com o casamento da mãe. Entre as recentes amizades e agitos naturais da idade, ela resolve pendências do mundo espiritual.

▐ better than the movies by lynn painter ⋆୨♡୧⋆

rating: ★★★★ genre: romance, young adult

premise: perpetual daydreamer liz buxbaum gave her heart to michael a long time ago. but her cool, aloof forever crush never really saw her before he moved away. now that he’s back in town, liz will do whatever it takes to get on his radar - and maybe snag him as a prom date - even befriend wes bennet.

review: high school romcom & a one-sided enemies to lovers slow burn, loved the dynamic between liz and wes ♡ overall very cute and got me out of my reading slump!

⤷ note: loved liz's character development, absolutely hated how she put romance above friendship though

I already do something like this in my backlog reports when I beat two or more games, so I figure I’ll do the same for when I read two or more books. Introducing, the Booklog Report:

Thoughts on each book below:

The Wheel of Time, Book 1: The Eye of The World

What this book is, at heart, is a simple story told long. That is both it’s strength and it’s detriment. While the attention to detail is nice, the adventure takes a while to truly get going, and the end goal remains hazy for a very large portion.

Regardless, the series seems like something I’d enjoy, so I’m going along for the ride.

Star Wars: Outbound Flight

Most of what Timothy Zahn writes for Star Wars is golden. He has a penchant for making characters that feel just as realized as the movies’ casts, and this book is no exception.

Watching the stubborn and presumptuous Jedi Master C’Baoth rise to glory at the same time as Mitth’raw’nuruodo learns the language and culture of the galaxy gives wonderful perspective on just how these characters come to be the people that they are by the time of the Thrawn Trilogy.

The Wheel of Time, Book 2: The Great Hunt

Or alternatively “The Lordification of One Rand Al’Thor.”

The first book could be thought of as the introductory trek to explain and explore the world. The second book is where the main plot starts to knuckle down, even as the protagonist tries to avoid it. I enjoyed it so much that I read it in three days.

That said, I do have a minor complaint. I remember a meme that said Robert Jordan’s method of describing a sword fight is just “Random Bullshit-Go!” It is unfortunately true. Aggressively true, even. The way this comes about is that each form and move is given a flowery, two to three word name. The amount of moves named has to number in the tens, maybe even twenties. And all but two of them are never explained. What is supposed to come across as a skillful contest between masters of their craft soon devolves into an Alternative Pop playlist composed of bands you’ve never heard of.

Plenty of forms: only two are actually relevant, one of which I wouldn’t even characterize as a standard move and more of a thematically relevant piece of advice.

does anyone else just get the urge to write? not even writing in the sense of creative writing but just the act of picking up a pen or a pencil and just writing anything. i have so many pens and empty notebooks (good pens make me cry; i love pens so much) and i just have urge to use them but... what do i write??? what do i use them for??? google is no help because i'm not comfortable with the thought of someone finding these notebooks if i journal but I LOVE PENS AND PRETTY NOTEBOOKS. but i want to use them too!!!
