#Quarantine book reading

[why-the-heck-not]

06.11.23, monday

resorted to the last-ditch effort of procrastination; I cut my hair, and am now currently trying to pull off the world’s choppiest short bob

#it’s fine i’ve cut it like this too many times before (got too comfortable with cutting my own hair during quarantine bc I chopped off a #good 20cm back then myself and after that I became immune) #bookblr #studyblr #booklr #aesthetic #books #study #reading #read #book #chaotic academia #dark academia #november 2023 #2023

god i need more long mp100 fics i'm too used to literally devouring like over 100k fics and now i can't read one shots anymore because it'll take me like. 10 mins.

#this is what being obsessed with reading in elementary does to a mf. AR tests RUINED me and my little overachiever self #i remember being obsessed with dr@rry at some point during quarantine and literally just #devouring 300k fics in the span of 2 days and it was horrible #because now my attention span is fucked as shit and i can't really read books regularly anymore #okay i might make that into a seperate post. how fics and books differ and how reading fics makes it harder to read books #mp100 #mob psycho 100 #serirei #ritshou #terumob #ALSO READ ISSHO!!!! #ISSHO IS SOSOSOOS GOOD ITS A TERUMOB FIC THATS LIKE 200K

I have been sleeping on the fake dating troupe oh my GOD

#still not used to feeling slightly better but not yet better enough to return to normal life #i tested negative this morning but i need to quarantine until im quote unquote symptom free #and i am very much so NOT symptom free atm (or anywhere NEAR symptom free tbch) #but hey i made it down to the barn and brushed one of the horses #and i read a comic book #and i wrote like 300 words #so #i think i deserve to sit and read fic for the rest of the day 😌 #anyway

I saw someone like "what if Ryuk was a scary demon monster wouldn't that be funny." My brother in Christ Ryuk is already a scary monster you're just used to him. I looked at the first Death Note book at the library and put it down TWICE because I was afraid of Ryuk.

#death note #ryuk #death note ryuk #I said this #chem's death note arc #the first time was like 'haha wouldn't it be funny if i read that death note series. i'm kinda curious what it's about' and then i saw ryuk #and was like NOPE. the second time was like. a week later and i had seen one or two more posts and was like 'i'm gonna do it i'm gonna read #that death note thing. i wanna know what it's actually like.' and i read the back of the book and looked at ryuk again and was like 'what #if it's scary? i don't think i can do it....' #and then it was winter break and i got quarantined and i was bored and like 'damn it! i should have gotten the book!' so i got the ebook. #that's right. i read half of death note digitally #anyways I'm PRETTY sure this all happened. but the fallacy of memory and all that so i'm not 100% sure the two incidents went down like thi

I'm not gonna lie, the Trigun-Time War developments are so funny to me because I'm just like, "what do you mean everyone and their mom who existed on the internet in 2020 (aka the entire world) hasn't read This Is How You Lose The Time War."

#yeah yeah my experiences are not universal and i understand that but like. god that book was EVERYWHERE for a few months during quarantine #it was one of the first book purchases i made during quarantine. like i bought that and crush by richard siken. #that's how ubiquitous time war was for a minute. that i fully had it on the same level in my mind as richard siken poetry #and obvs richard siken is not as ubiquitous as tumblr would imagine (even on Tumblr) but in terms of fandom and being chronically online #but yeah to be clear I'm not actually judging hence why this is not rebloggablr but it is just very funny to me #like even people who havent read in my experience know what it is #but i do tend to hang with people who are like. aware of things generally lol

i definitely think quarantine stunted everyone under the age of like 25's growth and its detrimental to society today

#like obviously society was 'on hold' for however long people decided they wanted to quarantine for if they even did #and people were doing and saying the craziest shit wayyy before the pandemic #but i notice a lot in the younger kids in my neighborhood thay are starting middle school or are starting school in general #that they act 3 years younger and arent fully adjusted (?) to where their brains need to be for their ages #even with teens in my classes! obviously we're teens and we act immature but this like a whole other level #you have people in class stuck in 6th-7th grade and dont know what a rhyming word is #and not even like your usual handful of ppl who cheated their way thru school but like a good 5 ppl in class know the diff between #metaphors nd similes. we're reading classic literature and stories set 100 years ago when blk people were making their own communites #and you have people loudly whine that theyre pissed at the book and nobody talked like Shakespeare did in the 1500s or #nobody talked like just free black people back in early 1900s #like duh quarantine was necessary and all but i think a side effect of it was general immaturity in society #l speaks #ranting in the tags because i can #OH. i was gna mention ab online discourse too like obvi people over 30 use the internet #but you only really ever see dumb fights with insane outcomes come from people who just hit drinking age #idk i just feel like i noticed something that j think other ppl may have noticed but.

Another five star read, I’m on a really good run at the moment! Next up is The Vaster Wilds by Lauren Groff, I haven’t read anything of hers since Fates and Furies, which I loved, and her recent career seems very different, so let’s see!

I should not have been given the ability to drive, because now that I have the ability to drive to book stores, it is really and truly over for my wallet

#this post brought to you by the fact that i read one (1) ice planet barbarians book and now want to go buy the rest of them #you know #as soon as i wait out my quarantine time #both self-imposed as i wait to inevitably test positive #and basic-human-decency imposed as i wait to test negative #personal

taylor becoming a quintessential part of the tsitp is the best thing that could’ve happened to me

#i read all the books during quarantine cause my sister had the first one from literally 2009 #so these books becoming a show was really good timing for me

Had to take a break from reading RotE because I've been in survival mode and it makes me feel too much (it's almost comical having two cats pass away within months of each other at the same time you're supposed to be reading Fool's Errand of all things) but I'm in a safe place for emotions for the next week and thought I should have a go at reading as much Tawny Man as I can and anyway long story short I've read literally one page and I'm already crying lol these books are lethal

#which isnt a bad thing!! one of my goals this week is just to actually let myself feel #and let out as much of the shit thats been building up as possible #cos legit in my normal life theres no time to process #or to cry #realm of the quarantine #its sad cos i have missed these books so much #but reading them with my deeper feelings switched off means none of it really gets through and i cant appreciate them in the same way #anyway really hope i can spend some quality time with my good pal fitz this week

not an aro centric book but Record of a Spaceborn Few by Becky Chambers has an aroallo protagonist!

Yes that's true it does, I have actually read it!

For anyone who hasn't, it's a scifi novel about a bunch of people on a spaceship that was originally sent out to find humanity new planets to live. That has all happened, but many generations later there are still people living on board, and this is about them.

It's got a large ensemble cast, and one of the main characters is clearly alloaro. But like anon says, it's not an aro focused book (especially when only one of the main characters is aro!) from memory the character is an older character and confident in her identity (not that she's called aro or alloaro on page).

That aside, from a general perspective I really enjoyed it, and highly recommend if you want some people focused scifi! Just don't get too excited about the aro rep as it's a minimal part of the story.

#aro #aromantic #aro books #ask #Think part of why I never mentioned it before is because I read it in quarantine and that always kills my motivation for anything #Even if I've already read it/heard of it I'm always happy to get more recs for aro books!
