I can't believe someone said you were "too feminine" to be bisexual (& that you couldn't possibly be bi because of it) & maybe it's because I'm a fellow bi but you give off the BIGGEST bisexual energy to me I can't wait for when you publish the novels you're writing, they sound so interesting based on the books you're reading for it 👀💖

please please please keep in mind that percy jackson is made for elementary/middle grade kids!! it’s so sad to see older people read it and dislike it because of the writing when that’s what made it so readable to younger kids, which are the target audience.

I tried reading the series back when I was around 11/12 years old. I managed the first one but gave up with the second book because I did not like the writing style, however, I’ve been wondering if this was due to the translation or the original text.

I have nearly finished Parachutes by Kelly Yang and it is definitely underrated I would recommend that you add to your tbr. It has a MeToo aspect to it. Some of the books I am planning to read in Summer are: Felix Ever After by Kacen Callender. A Dowry of Blood by S.T. Gibson. The Henna Wars and Hani and Ishu's Guide to Fake Dating by Adiba Jaigirdar. In the Ravenous Dark by A.M. Strickland. Perfect on Paper by Sophie Gonzales. The Jasmine Throne (Burning Kingdoms, #1) by Tasha Suri. Ace of Spades by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé. Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado

@sophie7412 3 года назад
loll literally put the decagon house murders on my tbr !! mmm a summer book recommendation would be somewhere between bitter and sweet by laekan zea kemp, which i read a few months ago and gave five stars! it's a contemporary YA with latine characters; a novel about love- love of food and the making of it, love of a community who uphold each other, love of family and the weight of it, first love, and the love our minds make difficult to show to our own selves. trigger warnings for mentions of self-harm, anxiety, and depression tho! a book off my summer tbr is these feathered flames by alexandra overy, which was pitched as a YA retelling of russian folklore with court politics of twin sister hiers and a f/f enemies to lovers romance!!

The Song of Achilles is probably my favorite book of all time, so I'm so excited to read She Who Became the Sun, but also a bit nervous. I'm also looking forward to reading Not My Problem by Ciara Smyth, The Heart Principle (The Kiss Quotient, #3), One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston, and The Sky Blues by Robbie Couch. And of course there are a ton of backlisted books I really want to get to as well.

Grad school is fun. 😂😂 I'm doing library science because 1. Library work is FASCINATING. And 2. I hate the interpretation aspect to being an English major. It made me dislike reading for awhile there. The fact that I still do it habitually while reading makes me so angry. I truly do hope it all goes well for you, though. Brain stretching is fun!!!!! Also: SO MANY ICONIC LINES. thank you for what is (to me) many a late night laugh.

I love Interview!! I'm in the middle of the series right now- currently reading the 5th book. Most fans says the initial trilogy is the best and so far I agree but I'm also just here for following Lestat and the other characters. It's crazy how much Interview impacted vampires and vampire lore in pop culture! I was watching The Vampire Diaries for the first time when reading Interview and I was like, wow! okay, yeah- Anne Rice is the blueprint! Then I proceeded to watching video essays on how it changed the landscape of vampire fiction. And I absolutely love how nonchalant the characters attractions and romantic and sexual relations are!

I am glad to hear that you will be reading Interview with the Vampire. A long time ago I watched the movie first and loved it which made me read the book. I have read all those books up to The Vampire Armand. Someday I will go back to her series. I didn't care for the fourth book which was The Body Thief, it was for me at the time too slow and when I read it I was a teenager. For this month I did take a book from your last upload, I believe, and it was The Travelling Cat Chronicles. I am already on page 25. For the rest of the month I am reading Fable by Adrienne Young which is my Buzzwordathon book, plus perfect for summer, Horrorstor by Grady Hendrix, A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid, Bird Box by Norman Malerman, The Infinity Courts by Akemi Dawn Bowman, and The Cheerleaders by Kara Thomas. That's most of them, I feel I am leaving out one or two. Enjoy your books this month and congratulations as well as good luck earning your master's degree. 😊❤️❤️❤️

I just bought The Final Empire today and I’m really excited to get into it!! This summer I’m planning on finishing The Poppy War trilogy and the Scythe trilogy, and I also really want to read The Ones We’re Meant to Find (I love sci-fi/dystopian!) and She Who Became the Sun, because The Song of Achilles still haunts me. 🥲

Final Empire is soooo good. I’m almost finished and it’s excellent. The writing is really calm and basic, but it works really well for the story

Word of Honor is amazing! If you have not yet seen it, then also watch the Untamed - It's absolutely gorgeous😍 Also, what an amazing TBR - She Who Became the Sun goes right on my TBR!❤️ You'll not be disappointed by Rick Riordan's works, Percy Jackson has been such a huge part of my childhood and is still to this day the book series that I re-read the most.

I also have not read Percy Jackson yet, and I need to get on it. I just bought The Seed Keeper by Diane Wilson, from what I understand it's an Indigenous story about healing and discovering your roots. I've heard some really amazing things about it and I'm excited to read it! I also got City and Brass and I'm reading An Ember in the Ashes right now and loving it! The book I will forever recommend since reading it earlier this year, is Firekeeper's Daughter by Angeline Boulley! If you haven't read it, it's such a gorgeous book!

Ughhhh I really wanna watch that drama but isn't it long? Masters is 18,000 words?! My double dissertation for Undergrad was 14k 🤣😭 Ohhhhhh I like this Riordan idea! I spiritually join you for the Olympus series. You're writing Dark Academia? YES! I started planning my NaNo novel in Feb. But then I stopped planning for like 2 months 🙃 let's slay this! Ohhh myyyy gaaawwddd Interview with the Vampire 😍 YES! Wow what?! Your bi energy is off the charts. Those people were silly 😤 they have no taste. Your laugh is the cutest 🥺
