JOMP BPC - February 26th - This Month's Favourite

this month it was a tie between Such Sharp Teeth by Rachel Harrison, a thrilling female-led horror novel, and The Love Song of Ivy K Harlowe by Hannah Moskowitz, a character-driven contemporary following three chaotic wlw trying to cope with their feelings for one another. both were 100% up my alley and I loved every page!

My Roman Empire Reads

This was originally going to be a list of my favourite books of all time, but I realised that my favourites shelf on Goodreads is littered with books I haven’t read or thought about in five years, I thought I’d focus on the books that still do occupy my brain space to this day, some read more recently than others. And I know the ‘Roman Empire’ meme is dead by now, but I have no other way to…

Really great book would absolutely recommend for a quick read

Synopsis under

Jonah is on a mission to break every bone in his body. Everyone knows that broken bones grow back stronger than they were before. And Jonah wants to be stronger--needs to be stronger--because everything around him is falling apart. Breaking, and then healing, is Jonah's only way to cope with the stresses of home, girls, and the world on his shoulders.

When Jonah's self-destructive spiral accelerates and he hits rock bottom, will he find true strength or surrender to his breaking point?

Title: The Love Song of Ivy K. Harlowe

Author: Hannah Moskowitz

Series or standalone: standalone

Publication year: 2021

Genres: fiction, contemporary, LGBT+, romance, mental health

Blurb: Ivy K. Harlowe is a lot of things - she’s Andie’s best friend, she’s the centre of attention, and she is, without fail, the hottest girl in the room anytime, anyplace. She has freckles and dimples and bright green eyes, and with someone else’s energy, she’d be adorable...but there is nothing cute about Ivy. She is ice and hot metal and electricity. She is the girl who every lesbian wants, but she has never been with the same person twice. She’s one-of-a-kind but also predictable, so Andie will always be Andie, her best friend, never Andie, her girlfriend...then she meets Dot, and Ivy does something even Andie would never have guessed: she sees Dot another day, and another, and another. Now Andie’s world is slowly going up in smoke, and no matter what she does, the flames grow higher. She lit that match without knowing who or what it would burn. Ivy K. Harlowe is a lot of things...but falling in love wasn’t supposed to be one of them, unless it was with Andie.

Be careful what you believe in. Rudy’s life is flipped upside-down when his family moves to a remote island in a last attempt to save his sick younger brother. With nothing to do but worry, Rudy sinks deeper and deeper into loneliness and lies awake at night listening to the screams of the ocean beneath his family’s rickety house. Then he meets Diana, who makes him wonder what he even knows about love, and Teeth, who makes him question what he knows about anything. Rudy can’t remember the last time he felt so connected to someone, but being friends with Teeth is more than a little bit complicated. He soon learns that Teeth has terrible secrets. Violent secrets. Secrets that will force Rudy to choose between his own happiness and his brother’s life.

🦤 a quote you had to delete :( (but still wanna share!)

oooooooh!

from my short story -

this is from the second draft and it was deleted for a number of reasons. 1) it served little as a transition scene 2) I could move the conversation closer to the climax 3) the a-train to inwood had pissed me off that day so no cameo!

(why the fuck aren't there more direct subway lines in brooklyn?)

also, i forgot that micah was called ilya in the first few drafts. it was a leftover from a previous piece dealing with reincarnation as the main plot device, but micah felt like it straddled the secular and modern orthodox world better. `

wip game of birds!

JOMP BPC - August 16th - Love, Love, Love

just some pretty books with "love" in the title 🥰

[minimanic]

its been a good long while since i’ve read a YA novel but i feel like a key feature of the genre is if you pick up a book on a whim you should run the risk of having something truly insane happen at you and I fear that’s an aspect that’s been lost
