Heidi had never felt so happy in her life. She drank in the golden sunlight, the fresh air, the sweet smell of the flowers, and wished for nothing better than to remain there forever.

its been a while but i just started a new book!! This is conversations with friends by sally rooney. Its not my first book from her, i’ve read normal people about a year ago and i absolutely loved it. She fulfills your need of romance and also creates dialogues that busy your brain for a couple of days. She is a CLEVER person i would say. Her opinions get through you but not in an agressive way which i like.

I’m almost half through the book and so far im loving it. I like how every person’s thought, the way that they act are like how an actual person would react. They’re not a character thats in a book but a person who might be your friend, who might be you or somenone you pass down on the street. I find her books very realistic so far. Realistic and subtle but also romanticized through the main character’s eyes. Thats how we see and live life inside our brain. She creates a great balance and i appreciate it.

Also i relate to francis kinda much so im intrigued where that would go, we’ll see i guess :/

Will keep you updated!!

Hello, lovelies! Tell Me Something Tuesday is a meme created by Rainy Day Ramblings and currently hosted by Because Reading Is Better Than Real Life, That's What I'm Talking About, For What It's Worth, Book Girl of Mur-y-Castell and Offbeat YA. It provides weekly discussion prompts on various book and blogging topics with optional participation. You can sign up for prompts here.

This week’s prompt is: Which books are you looking forward to reading this Spring? (March-May)

I've almost met my winter goals of knocking out my NetGalley list and one of my sequel piles, and the next three reads I have lined up are mostly tying up loose ends from those.

Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi This is the group read for Forgotten YA Gems and one of my friend, Tink's, favorite books, and I'm so excited to finally get to it! Feel free to join us for discussions!

The Trespasser by Tana French I saved this for last in my sequel pile because I love the Dublin Murder Squad so much, and I'm not sure I'm ready for it to be over!

The Black Guy Dies First: Black Horror Cinema from Fodder to Oscar by Robin R. Means Coleman & Mark H. Harris I did finish my NetGalley queue (I promise!), but then I got an invitation to read this book and couldn't resist. Anyway, is an NG queue ever really over?

After these, my reading list is pretty wide open. I'll probably work on my second sequel pile (there were three piles total, don't look at me) and mix it up with whatever I'm feeling so it doesn't become joyless. I’m excited not to have a set list for the first time this year!

What I read in April (belatedly)

Somehow it’s already mid-May, and the reading outside season has fully begun where I live. I figured it was high time to chat about the books I read in April. Saving Time by Jenny Odell. I read Odell’s prior book How to Do Nothing a few years ago and loved it. While I didn’t enjoy Saving Time as much as How to Do Nothing, it was still an interesting read. Odell challenges the way we think about…

2022 spring wrap up

Disclaimer: I live in the Southern Hemisphere

Endgame: The Complete Zero Line Chronicles, by James Frey ⭐️⭐️

It was an okay book. Not so much related to the main series, apart from the fact that the characters here knew about the Endgame and are trying to stop it. But honestly in the main series it was only casually cited so I don't know how it's going to be related to the end of the main series, apart from the fact that - yes - the Endgame has to be stopped.

Toda Mafalda, by Quino ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The greatest of the greatest. The one that made me who I am. The south american icon. She's the legend. She IS the moment. A MUST READ!!

L'Aiguille Creuse, by Maurice Leblanc ⭐️⭐️

I was very complexed by this book and I'm beginning to wonder if I'm feeling like this towards the Arsène Lupin series because of the translation, since I'm reading the books from different publishers. Only time will tell. It had a interesting premise, tho.

China Rich Girlfriend, by Kevin Kwan ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I'm living for this series and only for it. I loved how we are now introduced to the mainland Chinese high class and how they can be more frivolous than the Singaporean one. But at the same time it shows how different two cultures can be, even though they came from the same root. It was lighthearted, funny, and filled with east asian pop culture references.

Minha quase irmã: Bernardo, by Mônica Meirelles ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I was afraid of reading this one and being worst then the first. But it was a great surprise for me how the main character worked out his problems. I would even say I liked more this book than the first one, because here we see how much the male lead matures and grow. And I really like this kind of book with lots of character development!

The Pirate Balthasar #5-7, by Dedasaur ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Aaah great GREAT GREAT!!! All the sisters had their happy ending and we are now moving to a more deep layer in Kane's story and leveling up the mediterranean environment and fantastical mood of the comic <3

La Dame aux Camélias, by Alexandre Dumas fils ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I… don't know exactly (till now) how to feel about this particular book. It was nice to read and it had a easy flow. But it was also very predictable. In the end I think I gave it 3 stars more because how well the author rights and make you dive deep into the story, then the actual story lmao

Oscar et la dame rose, by Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It's a very simple story. Kinda christmasy. Written by an child. And very VERY very emotional end. From the start you know what's going to happen, but since we are reading it in the pov of a child, he's kinda processing his life and living every life stage as fast as he can. This was definitely one of my favourite books of the year.

Flamingos, by Clary Avelino ⭐️⭐️

Ok, this one is easy to read, which was great because I was needing to read something easier at the time. But I believe it could be better developed. It's a short book where the main character feels very horny for the male lead, who is a great guy, that had very actual problems (that you will get if you lived in Brazil in the last 4 years), but… The main character also had her own stuff but I didn't felt it was well developed. Or developed at all. There's also other characters who start having a fling together, but we don't know much about it as well. In the end it was just a easy book to read and pass the time.

✨Book Review✨

Book Lovers by Emily Henry | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I finally finished an entire book in a timely(ish) manner. I have been looking forward to this book for months! I loved it! The ending had me actually crying for the first time in SO long! Which was good because I really was due for a good cry haha.

[atissi]

i don't really like when people say dungeon meshi is accidentally good autistic representation, because while i understand not wanting to make conclusions without explicit confirmation from the author, there's always the weird assumption that non-western authors somehow don't know about things like neurodivergency/queerness/etc. (on top of the assumptions that east asian authors are somehow more naive or oblivious to "western" social issues).

given that dungeon meshi started being published in 2014, it's not really a "work belonging to its times"—it's as contemporary as any other media we discuss on this site, which means it should be fair to assume it engages with contemporary topics (and at the very least, you shouldn't say that the representation is accidental with so much confidence)

but anyways, the chapter "perfect communication" in ryoko kui's "terrarium in a drawer" is some of the most straightforward autistic representation I've seen, and from now on I'm going to assume that laios's character writing is absolutely intentional in that regard:

#beepbeep.txt #dungeon meshi #ryoko kui #this is me trying to explain h/ollow knight lore #also yayyyy reading new things. chapter 18 'spring' is basically UFUT if you squint (sorry for the jumpscare if you know UFUT) #but the last two pages were such a surprising gut punch....it's hard not to see it as a metaphor for both the experience of raising childre #and of taking care of your parents in old age....aughh....
