seriously, how do people who only read good books avoid book hangovers, like.... i have no idea what to read next cause i want it to be as good as the previous one, but not the same, you know?

[jraddytv]

A psychological-thriller short story, based on a recurring nightmare I’ve had since I was 13 years old. Think of it like a CreepyPasta...

I think I shared this before, but I felt like sharing it again.

Reading TagI thought it would be nice for you to get to know me a little better, so I decided to do the Reading Tag

1. What is your favourite book cover?

All the Penguin clothbound covers. I adore them.

2. Do you prefer reading during the day or at night?

At night because then it's usually the most relaxing.

3. Do you cry while reading?

Yes, when it's a sad book.

4. If you could have a pet from any book, what would you pick?

Chesire Cat from Alice Adventures in Wonderland haha

5. What is the section you walk to immediately when you enter a bookstore?

Classics and history section

6. Is there any book you prefer the film/tv adaptation of?

Not that I can recall.

7. Do you prefer orderly or messy bookshelves?

I like 'orderly messy' bookshelves :) think about that one for a second

8. Can you read even when it’s really noisy or do you need quiet?

Sometimes yes, it depends on how much the book engages me. For example, I can read Jane Eyre in a noisy room but I can't read The Odyssey in a noisy room.

9. Do you prefer children’s, YA, or Adult fiction?

Secret option four. Classics.

10. Do you have reading slumps often?

Sometimes I do and I hate it.

11. What is your ‘that was my childhood’ book?

A couple of dutch 'girl' books.

My 2021 In Books

The other Twilight of my youth, aka Twilight by Meg Cabot (reread)

Wanted to read about kisses, got rimming as a bonus, aka The Kiss by Hans-Jürgen Döpp

These cool vampire bitches GAY gay, huh?, aka Carmilla by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu

Every romance structure makes perfect sense now, aka Romancing the Beat by Gwen Hayes

...But I think this might have relied too much on romance beats?, aka Don’t Stop Believing by Gwen Hayes

The infinity prompt is exactly the kind of self-therapy that works for me, which is why I don't do it often enough lmao, aka The Power of Writing It Down by Allison Fallon

Made me realize how much my conceptions of boys and relationships came from Meg Cabot and Twilight, which is why I’m fucked in the head, aka The Boy Next Door by Meg Cabot (reread)

Thought this would be a lighthearted gay vampire romcom, was pleasantly surprised by the serious themes it tackled, aka Love Bites by Ry Herman

Great for dumbasses entering the job market, less great for someone who doesn’t live in a cold climate, aka The Capsule Wardrobe by Wendy Mak

...So this is more like it, for me, aka Nada Para Vestir by Arlindo Grund

Me liking and (mostly) understanding magical realism?? It’s more likely than you think!, aka The Carnivorous Lamb by Agustín Gómez Arcos

Came for the enemies-to-lovers, was surprised I loved all the unhealthy relationships in this, aka The Cruel Prince by Holly Black

My favorite Cabotian disaster family + really clever use of the epistolary format, aka Boy Meets Girl by Meg Cabot (reread)

Best couple out of the three so far, most unbelievable epistolary format, still so much fun, aka Every Boy’s Got One by Meg Cabot (reread)

Becky is a great adaptation of Anne Elliot, the villain is a great adaptation of that Elliot cousin, Reed sucks, aka The Boy Is Back by Meg Cabot

I wrote that it “felt like good smutty Twilight fanfiction from circa 2010” and that "in hindsight, the men look so fucking stupid", aka Corrupt by Penelope Douglas

Holy fuck. Holy fuck this book. IT’S ABOUT LEARNING TO LOVE, BITCH, aka Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal? by Jeanette Winterson

The theme of classism surprised me, and the fatphobia also surprised me, but in the opposite direction, aka When Lightning Strikes by Meg Cabot

The speech on why humans shouldn’t join the Galactic Union thing is permanently etched in my brain, aka The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers

The Austen protagonist that I relate the most to, aka Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen

Surprisingly touching and effective for a Christian allegory (read: made me fear for the path my soul is in, so, that’s good, I guess), aka The Magician’s Nephew by C. S. Lewis

In 20 years I will reread this book and Understand the hype and the Intertextuality or whatever of it all. For now, I just think Judy Poovey deserves comedic protagonist rights, aka The Secret History by Donna Tartt

Were the characters, like, lovable? Well, I love them + the author interview in the audiobook was excellent, aka America For Beginners by Leah Franqui

Oh the shit everyone got away with post-Twilight, aka Hush Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick (reread)

About this book, I wrote, “True love is still being devoted to someone even when they’re the dumbest, cluelessest, most stubborn and infuriating person in the universe”, aka Silence by Becca Fitzpatrick (reread)

I swallowed this in one day and immediately started the next one, aka The Wicked King by Holly Black

Do I enjoy reading political intrigue in my enemies to lovers, or do I just enjoy Captive Prince and The Folk of the Air a lot?, aka The Queen of Nothing by Holly Black

What an absolutely weird hilarious blast this was. Why did it make me lk cry?? Btw I LOVE the author’s respect for and recognition of teenagers’ issues and self-awareness and brilliance, aka The Extraordinaries by T. J. Klune

Lol I thought this was going to be a cute and lighthearted YA road trip but I cried three fucking times lmao, aka Amy & Roger’s Epic Detour by Morgan Matson

HISTORY! HUMANS! BRAIN! YUVAL’S BRAIN! Life-changing. Ate bread and chocolate milk directly after finishing this book and almost cried with the enormity of it all, aka Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari

A mindfuck of a journey as the character figures out she’s a lesbian, aka Bunny by Mona Awad

I will never look at Lisol the same way again. It’s a wonder humans are still alive!, aka A Curious History of Sex by Kate Lister

Amazingly rich book with healing and growth and discussions that were so advanced for its time. But yeah, they call dicks ‘good-sized rods’ too, so, really, has anything changed in gay porn, aka Teleny, or the Reverse of the Medal by Anonymous Author(s)

Made me worry for the future of my brain and of our democratic societies, and the irony is that I read this too fast to remember details lol, aka Reader, Come Home by Maryanne Wolf

While I think the book would have been cooler if it actually followed its synopsis, I did have a good time, aka I Am Not a Serial Killer by Dan Wells

Awesome how this book showed our struggles but also was great at letting us live our fantasies; really clever that the kids are monster-like, too, aka The House In The Cerulean Sea by T. J. Klune

Gorgeous, life-changing, inspiring, informative, universal must-read, especially before clowning on social media :’). I will read anything this woman writes, aka Twisted: The Tangled History of Black Hair Culture by Emma Dabiri

What. Aka A Hora da Estrela by Clarice Lispector

A lot I liked and a lot I didn’t like, and I’m glad I read it, aka Gods & Monsters by Shelby Mahurin

Fuck Edward Cullen, I want what Seth and Nick and also what Gibby and Jazz have, aka Flash Fire by T. J. Klune

Unfortunately didn’t rock my world as much as it did the first time, but also it was a worthwhile read, aka Serpent & Dove by Shelby Mahurin (reread)

Maybe not a good pick for a /my first Bechdel, aka Are You My Mother? By Alison Bechdel

Incredible prose and imagery; and, just like folklore, I love how much the way the stories are told, and not just their content, are a part of what makes them resonate, aka The Mermaid’s Tale by Amanda Adams

Me: I’ve connected the dots! – The end of the book: You didn’t connect shit, aka The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Brontë

Thanks for the rec Miss Mitski, aka The Complete Poems of Charles Reznikoff (v.1) by Charles Reznikoff

I am… quite surprised by the hype, aka The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V. E. Schwab

I’m always impressed by YA that portrays complicated adult problems, but also, 😬 at Nozomi, aka Love & Other Natural Disasters by Misa Sugiura

Mcquistonian dialogue and friend groups and Mitski references is really all I need in a book, I think, aka One Last Stop by Casey Mcquiston

My favorite genre is when authors are incredibly competent in their craft, aka The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy

I didn’t need to understand everything to Get it, and also, this poet too was clearly competent in her craft, aka alphabet by Inger Christensen

One of the strongest motivations for rereading is purely selfish: it helps you remember what you used to be like. Open an old paperback, spangled with marginalia in a handwriting you outgrew long ago, and memories will jump out with as much vigor as if you’d opened your old diary. These book-memories, says Hazlitt, are “pegs and loops on which we can hang up, or from which we can take down, at pleasure, the wardrobe of a moral imagination, the relics of our best affections, the tokens and records of our happiest hours.” Or our unhappiest. Rereading forces you to spend time, at claustrophobically close range, with your earnest, anxious, pretentious, embarrassing former self, a person you thought you had left behind but who turns out to have been living inside you all along.
