I wanted to include green since I had so many green books on my shelves. Mint or lighter green is a pretty popular book cover color for YA lit too I’ve noticed.

Green is the color I’ve chosen for Saturday! Happy reading everyone! :)

when mary oliver said ‘if you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy, don’t hesitate. give in to it.’

and mahmoud darwish said ‘and if happiness should surprise you again, do not mention its previous betrayal.

enter into the happiness, and burst.’

Feeling unloved feels like you're always banging on the walls screaming hungry!!! hungry!!! hungry!!! Nothing I eat satiates my hunger. I always turn to food to fill the void in my insides, and everyday I crave something new to fill up a different type of hurt.

Today, I want to eat something that makes me feel full. Something that makes me feel so full that I burst. For once, I want to be loved so much that I'm unable to consume it and it overflows. I think I'll like it if it tastes sweet.

The books I read in May 2022!

Some of these (Fried Green Tomatoes, Sexual/Textual Politics, and Carrie) were for a Gender Studies class I was taking for my grad degree. The rest of these were books I read because I wanted to, unrelated to my studies. My final for this class was related to The Handmaid’s Tale, which I read in April for this same class.

I wanted to read The Testaments after spending so much time on The Handmaid’s Tale with the paper. It wasn’t what I expected.

I picked up Wild Game when I saw it at the local used book store because my Writing Professor at one of my previous schools recommended it. He knew the author personally too. It’s a memoir of a young woman who helps her mother conduct an affair.

The Return of the Solider is about a solider who loses part of his memories in WWI as a result of trauma and it’s told from his cousin’s perspective. Rebecca West wrote this during the war and it was published in 1918. I wanted to read more WWI and historic fiction since one of my writing projects has the war as one of the settings.

I started reading Heartstopper. I read the first book earlier this year and I have the third one coming in the mail soon. The comic is still cute where I’m reading but I was warned by a friend that it’s going to get much heavier soon.

Female Husbands was a book I’ve been wanting to read for a while and finally got to this month. The book is about the history of trans men, butch lesbians and bisexual women who identified as men in the past (mostly the 18th and 19th centuries in the UK and US) to live as men and usually marry a woman. Because it’s a pretty wide case study and I can’t speak for the dead (a controversial issue when identifying LGBT people in the past), it’s impossible to tell what some of the people would identify as if they were alive today, given the different terminology we have now. The book’s title comes from a historic term given to this community. I found their stories compelling. It was one of the better books I read last month.

The Jane Austen Society was good too. I finally got around to this one as well (I’ve been trying to read from my shelves without buying more new books and somewhat succeeded). Set in the 1940s following WWII, in a small town where Jane Austen once lived, some fans of Jane Austen come together to try to preserve some of her life to create a museum in her honor. There’s drama between the members of the society (several romances). There’s a sequel out too that involves one of the main characters. I’m looking forward to that.

#carrie is probably one of the worst books I've read in a while #King compares most of the female characters to animals multiple times throughout the book :/#most of the other books here were 4-5 stars #sexual/textual politics is very old and is critiquing 2nd wave feminism #I wished we studied newer articles since everything was from the 70s or 80s #I like learning about history but A LOT has happened since the 1980s...#books #bookblr #LGBT lit and historic fiction are two of my genres #read in 2022 #the jane austen society #female husbands #fried green tomatoes at the whistlestop cafe #the return of the soldier #the testaments #wild games #mychatter #maybe I'll start doing some bookblr content since I read fairly often #I have to for my degree but also because I love it #romance #LGBT lit #LGBT history #feminism #women's literature #women writers #may 2022

we love romanticizing the dark academis-ness of it all: the overwhelming academia, the big ideas,

leaving our souls like burnt out ribbon trailing behind us, forever playing catch up with our mind

i can't anymore. it's too tiring.

And when nobody wakes you up in the morning, and when nobody waits for you at night, and when you can do whatever you want. what do you call it, freedom or loneliness?
