Things I’ve Read since I started my 100 pages a day challenge yesterday:
1. The Anxiety of Influencers by Barrett Swanson: “Because mostly what I’m thinking about are my students, those bleary-eyed twenty-somethings in sweatpants and hoodies who frequently appear in the doorway of my office, sad in a way they cannot explain, desperate for something they don’t know how to have. That the view of personhood produced by the economy of influence is the same brass-tacks thinking that has infiltrated the university might be the single greatest repudiation of the pixelated world that we’re now asking them to inhabit.” 
2. The violence behind outing someone by Sohini Chatterjee: “I have learned from having struggled with myself for years that there is language for my pain but no security when it is articulated, no refuge or calm when it is revealed. There is no room for rage. There is no promise of healing. Cishet civility is a hassle for queer people. It creates no safe spaces for our anger to be understood as critique and as protest against normativity. All avenues of conversation and understanding are already always closed off and rendered into various impossibilities.What we do not talk about is where our story begins.” “Silence is seldom a choice for queer people. It is always a decision externally enforced on us that we are expected to claim as our own. Silence gives us corporeal security while taking away our affective safeguards. Unjust trade-offs are the defining feature of our survival. Bigotry couched in claims of righteousness is frequently warped to disfavor us. Being queer often means getting offered conditional living in silence or being dismissed for dissidence. Like all binaries, this is also as inflexible as it is violent.”
3. Curating the Anthropocene by Jon Christenson and Ursula K Haise: “The future is already here — it’s just not evenly distributed yet.”
4. When did being busy become a status symbol? by Global News 
5. The myth of mad genius by Christa L Taylor
The photo is by Steve McCurry, a scene in Srinagar, Kashmir

by: Tia Williams Published: Jun 1, 2021 Genre: Romance, Fiction, Contemporary 336 Pages, Audio Book (HH:MM) 10:32
★★★★
GoodReads Synopsis:
When Shane and Eva meet unexpectedly at a literary event, sparks fly, raising not only their past buried traumas, but the eyebrows of New York's Black literati. What no one knows is that twenty years earlier, teenage Eva and Shane spent one crazy, torrid week madly in love. They may be pretending that everything is fine now, but they can't deny their chemistry - or the fact that they've been secretly writing to each other in their books ever since.
My Review:
Young struggle love, turns into adult struggle love. I hate this idea that we all have to be damaged in order to deserve love. Young Eva and young Shane were not right for each other, both bonding over their own trauma so, I can't imagine that Shane and Eva as adults would be any better for one another.
Adult Eva is all over the place. Bending and conforming just to fit Shane into her world and, for what? By all accounts, Eva does not need Shane and his antics but rather, he gives her some purpose something to brag about in her circles. I wanted her to find a man who appreciated who she was now and not Shane, who fawned over who she was as a teenager.
In real life, second-chance romances are an ick. There was a reason it didn't work in the first place and most times, in the second place, it's not going to work either. These two were hot & heavy but, for all the wrong reasons. Something I've noticed in the genre of 'romance' is that authors fail to give couples a solid foundation of morals, values, characteristics, and behaviors that mirror those of successful couples. We often only read about lusting adults who bond over pain, food, or trauma. We both had an awful childhood and survived it together so that means, we're meant to be. WRONG!
One-Word Summary: Trauma Bond (okay that is 2 words, sue me)

Update and July TBR 2022
Update and July TBR 2022
So May and June were a little weird. In May, I was able to finish two books. The books that I finished were The Wild Robot and The Land of Stories: A Grimm Warning. However, in June, I did some reading but did not finish a book. At the beginning of June, I got really sick, so I just slept and watched TikTok videos. I did do some reading, but I just wasn’t in the mood to read or blog. However, I…

Another lovely year in this wonderful fandom. Here’s a little recap of how my year went:
My Writing:
Depth of Reason - Mature - 70k
How to Avoid a Scandal - Teen - 43k
Episode 3: The Diplomat, A Star Trek Redemption story - Teen - 13.5k
This list is much shorter than my list of fics written in 2022, but my fics last year were much shorter. Also, this word count is deceptive, because I wrote about 22k of Depth of Reason last year and about 20k of How to Avoid a Scandal last year as well. But! My writing goals this year were to finish these two WIPs and not take on any other projects until they were finished and I very nearly did that! Took on two projects (and more below), but I still finished these before the year finished, so pretty good!
Total words:
About 83k. Last year was more like 120k.
Other works:
Podfic of Petrichor - Teen - 34 minutes
Themes:
Finishing long works apparently! One was for my 2022 COBB and the other for my 2022 CORB. Even though these were started last year, they are the longest things I wrote since my first fic (49k) back in the second half of 2021.
Also, trying new things! Writing sci-if and recording a podfic felt very outside my wheelhouse at the time, but ultimately, I’m glad I went for it.
Top 10 fics I read in 2023:
Someone Wicked - Explicit - 60k by @artsyunderstudy
Three Months or 3,000 Miles - Gen - 3k by @larkral and art by @theimpossibledemon
Blood, Salt and Hummingbirds - Teen - 32k by @hushed-chorus
Restoration Ecology - The REmix (Baz’s version) - Explicit - 62k by @royalasstronaut
Good at Something - Explicit - 19k by @larkral
A Gift From the Propheseals - Mature - 6.5k by @skeedelvee with art by @letraspal
What Remains After the Storm - Mature - 86k by @hushed-chorus art by @erzbethluna
To Do, to Know, to Want - Mature - 8.5k by @facewithoutheart
Mishaps on Zoom - Explicit - 10k by @eelwinks
Swords Into Plowshares - Teen - 6.5k by @ileadacharmedlife
WIPs I’m excited to keep reading in 2024:
I Knew A Boy, I Knew A Man - Teen, by @shrekgogurt
Hiding Out In The Open - Mature, by @cutestkilla
A Little Bit Deadly- Explicit, by @emeryhall
Basil Pitch’s Diary - Teen, by @bookish-bogwitch
Other notable fandom things:
I helped to run @carryon-reverse-bang again with @angelsfalling16 as well as helped to put on a new event this year, @caught-on-tape-fest with @cutestkilla and @sillyunicorn
I met up with fandom friends while on a trip this past summer. Making personalized friendship bracelets as gifts, doing fic readings and crafts, and putting on our own Lady Ruth style tea party were some of my fave moments <3
I did a book club style reread of some of my fave fics with friends. I hope we do a few more in 2024!
It’s safe to say I engaged with this fandom everyday of 2023. I might get quiet on the main Discord server or Tumblr, but I’m certain I read, reblogged, wrote, DMd or otherwise participated in some way, shape or form throughout the entirety of the year.
Goals for 2024:
Read more fic! This fandom has such a wealth of works, my TBR list is a mile long and isn’t organized. I’d like to formally rework my AO3 bookmarks to exclusively show recs and either utilize the Marked for Later function or make a spreadsheet or something to better organize a proper TBR list so i don’t lose track of what I want to read next. Currently, having a dozen tabs open on my phone and another dozen on my iPad doesn’t really work well. If anyone has a brilliant system you’d suggest, please enlighten me!
I also want to read all of my physical canon books this year. I’ve only ever listened to the audiobooks! I’m currently reading my anniversary edition of Fangirl. (I think this is the prettiest book I’ve ever owned.) Up next, the Fangirl Manga, followed by the trilogy and Snow for Christmas.
More fandom meet ups! Already planning for June…
I don’t have any writing plans currently, so we shall see if/what I decide to create. I have a few ideas rolling around in my head, but nothing I’ve felt urged to put down in words. I’m sure I’ll write something, I just don’t know what it’ll be yet.

A couple of June spreads I made in my reading journal. ( I was thinking about making a whole post on my reading journal, would that be a good idea?)
08|07|2022
19/30 days of self care
Today I worked in the morning, when I got home I was super tired and I decided that at least on my birthday I can avoid the plans I had made and just read and relax in the afternoon. And it's exactly what I did. I did my daily Irish practice on duolingo, but for the rest of the day I just slowed down and read. These past few days I have felt really exhausted for some reason, so taking an afternoon for myself was much needed.
tranquilstudy's studying challenge // day 23
Halloween isn’t that far away, you know. Have you read or watched any of the classic horror books or movies? What are your favourites or least favourites if you have?
Horror has probably become my favourite book genre in these past couple of years. I am not a huge fan of horror movies, as the type of horror I enjoy the most is more psychological based, jumpscares and gory scenes are not what I necessarily look for. I like a story that can scare you by using your own imagination (reason why I think The Magnus Archives podcast worked amazingly). I want to get to more classic horror novels, It by Stephen King has been on my tbr for years, but since it's a huge book I haven't read it yet. And I also want to read more horror that is not just King. I like him as a writer but the fact that in my local bookstory has only his stuff in the horror section bothers me so much. (If you have any good horror book recs I am all hears). The last horror book I read was Pet Sematary by King, and it was a huge let down. I currently put on hold the reading of House Of Leaves by M.Z. Danielewski, I was enjoying it but it's a book that requires more focus that I've had in the past month. I am really excited to read more horror stuff, and I think that I'll look for a couple of these books for the summer, so give me your best recs please.

2023 Challenge Wrap Up
it's the last day of the year which means it's time for me to look back on my 2023 reading challenges and decide which goals I'm gonna pursue in 2024
In 2023, I set out to:
Buy fewer books than I did in 2022. Achieved! I bought about half the number of books this year as I did in 2022. I'm so glad I'm finally getting a handle on my book buying, even if it does mean getting to visit my bookshops less frequently
Each month, attempt 1 series. Achieved - but not as much as I wanted to. I started the year with 56 series on my TBR and I'm ending it with 37. But I'm going to work on cutting it down more next year
Each month, attempt 2 books by authors I’ve read before. Achieved! but again, not as much as I'd like. I don't think this goal will be a focus next year but it will be something I'm keeping in mind
End the year with roughly 250 books on my TBR (+/-10% will be considered successful). Achieved! I finally did it! I finally succeeded in cutting down my TBR! I started the year with 291 books on it and am ending it with only 214! When I updated my 2023 goals in June, I adjusted this goal because I didn't think I could get my TBR down to +/-10% of 200 but look at me now! I'm very happy about this 🥰
Read 75 books over the course of the year. Achieved! I read 130 books this year 😊 love when it's a nice round number lol
Which brings us to my 2024 goals. I've gone with 3 very simple (for me) goals because life is getting busier and I don't want to be stressing myself out with too many book goals each month. So in 2024, I will be trying to:
Read 100 books (almost half my starting TBR).
Read each of the books on my Backlog Books list.
Read 1 series each month.
looks pretty good to me 😊 here's to a restful, relaxing, read-alicious 2024!
