[nepsah]

dooooes anyone have audiobook recommendations? :'3 tear through 'em in a shift or two at work and i find the process of looking for new ones to be a bit agonizing (not impossible, but it takes me a while)

im primarily interested in sci-fi/fantasy altho historical fiction is fine too, preferably with gay characters. i don't have a preference for explicit content - i only really have one squick pertaining to that.

YA books are fine, tho i prefer books for older audiences these days

i may be interested in some nonfiction stuff if you have anything you really recommend ppl listen to

under the cut are books i already have + the squick

cunnilingus squicks me out. idk if its a dysphoria thing or what but if the book contains it, it needs to fade to black.

books i have:

most books by KJ Charles

most books by Tamora Pierce

the entire Artemis Fowl series

the entire Hunger Games trilogy

Percy Jackson and the Olympians books 1-5 (the rest look like they're just extra materials?)

the entire His Dark Materials trilogy

The Last Sun, The Hanged Man, and The Hourglass Throne by K. D. Edwards

The Darkness Outside of Us by Eliot Schrefer

Hunger Pangs by Joy Demora (BIG recommend!)

The Prince's Poisoned Vow by Hailey Turner

A Taste of Gold and Iron by Alexandra Rowland

The Lightning Struck Heart by TJ Klune (admittedly, I shut it off within a few minutes. undecided if I'll continue with it.)

Winter's Orbit and Ocean's Echo by Everina Maxwell

The Witch King by H. E. Edgmon (don't really recommend this one)

Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall (lost interest halfway through)

The Betrayals and The Binding by Bridget Collins

A Marvelous Light by Freya Marske

Dark Rise by C. S. Pacat (really don't recommend)

Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card (nostalgia got me lol)

Inkheart by Cornelia Funke (lost interest halfway through)

The following are nonfiction titles, most nonfiction I've collected is geared toward therapy:

Childhood Disrupted by Donna Jackson Nakazawa

The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel A. van der Kolk

Self-Therapy 2nd Edition

Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents by Lindsay C. Gibson, PsyD

Laziness Does Not Exist and Unmasking Autism by Devon Price, PhD.

I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jeanette McCurdy

a note abt the above: the first 4 were recommended to me by my therapist and while they are valuable, i'd be critical of the way certain mental illnesses/disorders are spoken of by the authors (something my therapist also agrees with) particularly when it comes to NPD and DID.

Thanks to @vanyalanthirielofmana for the tag!

Last song: Today, it is Final Fantasy IX's Prelude. I'm going through the FFIX OST while writing this fic, and this is the track I got to. I'm not actually sure where this track is used in the game, though (the ending?).

Currently watching: The Dragon Prince season 5, and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2. I recommend both! I'm especially happy that The Dragon Prince got a continuation after a really long hiatus (related to gender discrimination by the showrunner(???)).

Currently reading: I'm currently working on three different books (one is for reading in bed, one is for reading when walking around, and one is for reading in the bathroom): the Scott Pilgrim comics by Bryan Lee O'Malley; The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk; and The Once and Future King by T. H. White (this last one I started before COVID happened and I'm still reading...). I've been kind of reading more over the summer now that I have a library card.

Current obsession: Yeah, it's still Quodo. I think I'm calming down a bit now, although by that I mean the pretty minimal statement that I am not as obsessed with them as I was at my peak, but that still leaves a lot of room for obsession... But I kind of feel one day I'll have more space in my mind for my perennial fandoms.

Tagging: @corpsebrigadier @jazzypizzaz @onionjulius @sweet-suzume and anyone else who wants to do this.
