the most life saving firefox extension for me (aside from ublock origin) is definitely library extension, if you're browsing goodreads the extension will show you this on the corner of the page:

showing you whether or not the book you want is available at your library, in either it's physical or electronic collection!

One mildly chilly day in August and suddenly I want to read every Victorian novel in existence.

You know what I find annoying? The riordanverse is all about championing neurodiversity, and yet very few of the characters actually show neurodivergent traits (excluding dyslexic ones) and there are no characters who are any form of neurodiversity except adhd and dyslexic. What's that about?

Okay, strange question BUT

Ik at one point I saw a post that basically just broke down Javier Peña’s apartment (and it was mindblowingly detailed and so fucking cool). Do any of y’all know where that is or have any details on the layout? I feel like I’m going to have to rewatch like half the show again to get a feel for it 😂

Daisy Chaining; Or, Connecting the TBR!

Does anybody besides me like to find Connections between Seemingly/Largely Unrelated Books and use those connections to plot a route through the old TBR?? I don't know about you, but I have a LOT of books I want to read, and sometimes I get Whelmed™ by my choices. So I'll either pick a small stack and make that a particular month's micro-TBR (good if I have specific Goals!), OR I'll start with something I really want to read, and I'll daisy chain from there.

For example: I'd been waiting for TRANSLATION STATE to release in paperback since the hardback was announced (because Translators, my beloveds). So I annihilated that in a couple days (it was very good, all right??), and then I had to figure out where to go next despite cruising on the Translators High.

Because the Translators' fucked up body horror (which I mean mostly affectionately, but I'm side eyeing the matching pretty hard) was at times....goopy...I thought a book about a shapeshifter whose default form is an amorphous lump would be good next, which got me to SOMEONE YOU CAN BUILD A NEST IN (which I also enjoyed!! shout-out to @asexualbookbird for gifting it to meee!!).

Since NEST is Monsters in a Fantasy Forest with a side of Politics and Power, my next read is THE BUTCHER OF THE FOREST (because it's also...wait for it...Monsters in a Fantasy Forest with a side of Politics and Power). And after that, I'll come OUT of the forest with AT THE EDGE OF THE WOODS, which promises to be weird and vaguely monstrous but with a literary bent (I put it on one of my writing TBR lists, and my general "read this by the end of 2024" list).

So, yeah! That's how you daisy chain to get from SF to fantasy/horror to fantasy to weird Lit Fic in the span of four (4) books, while maintaining something like a continuity. By the end of the year, my Books Read shelf looks a little chaotic, but there generally really is a rhyme AND a reason about it!

(Please click on the photo for better image quality! I edited it weirdly compared to usual and it looks good on my screen but ah. Less So, in tungledlandia.,.,)

Finally finished this absolute masterpiece and while I may never eat cookies and cream ice cream again, I think I have found the most perfect banter ever written 😍

When you don’t think you’re going to have any books to read so you get several but then all your holds come in at once. 😬😬😬 Mistakes have been made…

JOMP BPC || September 1 || TBR This Month:  How much of this shelf (which doesn't have my current reads/ my tbr jar picks/ my e-books!!!) can I read this month??? I am full of lofty goals and foolish ideas about time! 

[seiwas]

might go on a ~kinda semi-hiatus for a few days! will mostly just run on queue (like i always do anyway) and might take a while to reply/interact!

wishing everyone a good week ahead though!! 🫶🏻

Mourning my desire and ability to read fanfic the last 45 days but cheering for my completion of 9 books.
