Top 10 favorite books?

oh god this is so hard. these aren't in any particular order:

the penderwicks on gardam street

i know that this is the second book in the series but there's something so magical about this one. also i'm not a big fan of books set in the summer because i just know that there's a time limit, especially since characters are usually on vacations. there's something about the penderwicks being on their home turf that makes them so endearing.

also? the new characters are amazing!! iantha, nick, tommy, ben, melissa -- all of them are wonderful

one of us is lying/next

this one goes without saying. it's not fully out of left field for me to read my murder mysteries, but i latched onto this series and the characters and i don't seem to be letting them go any time soon

the lightning thief

let me just say that y'all are lucky i didn't make my tumblr account in middle school. i was insufferable and it's all because of percy jackson. nothing tops the original series in all of its sassy-percy glory.

little women

i come from a family of sisters, and i love the way that little women celebrates sisterhood and doesn't shy away from the fact that sometimes having sisters is just plain old annoying. i love the march family with my entire being.

sick kids in love

i don't really talk about growing up as a "sick kid" but this book hit me in so many ways. i know what it's like to grow up in a drip room, counting the weeks before i could see someone again. ibby and sasha were real and i really love that.

the summer of lost letters

i know that i just said i hate books set in the summer but this one is so special to me. it's literally just another ya romance novel (and it came out pretty recently too) but it has instantly become my favorite ya romance. i'm obsessed with abby and noah and all of the parallels that were woven into the story that i didn't even realize until i read it again.

truly devious

kind of like the summer of lost letters, i don't have a reason for why i love this book so much. but i do and i keep reading it. also, i think it was the book that made me consider life in vermont and now i'm spending four years there.

the great gatsby

i love the great gatsby so much. i love the symbols, i love the motifs. i love how unreliable nick is as a narrator. i love how every character is completely irredeemable. it's a book about shallow people dealing with a human's deepest emotion and thinking they've conquered it and i love it so much.

to kill a mockingbird

again -- no big reason for loving this book but i do. i really clicked with scout when i was little for some reason.

anne of green gables

i was obsessed with anne and gilbert when i was a kid. probably the first couple i ever shipped.

#the penderwicks on gardam street #one of us is lying #one of us is next #the lightning thief #little women #sick kids in love #the summer of lost letters #truly devious #the great gatsby #to kill a mockingbird #anne of green gables

saw that ya fantasy rec post, and in your tags you mentioned ya contemporary and mental health... so ya contemporary recs please? 🥺

i got you!

here is a small sample of ya contemporary books that deal with mental health

Darius the Great is Not Okay by Adib Khorram: Darius has never felt like he has belonged in either world - American like his father or Persian like his mother. When a trip to visit his relatives has him confronting cultural stereotypes about mental health, he makes a friendship that will last a lifetime.

Eliza and Her Monsters by Francesca Zappia: Comic creator by night and an anxious student by day, Eliza keeps her lives separate until she learns that the new kid in school shares a similar passion for her comic.

An Emotion of Great Delight by Tahere Mafi: It's 2003 and Shadi's life is in shambles. Her dad is in the hospital, her brother is dead, and her mother is barely holding it together. When an old face reappears, Shadi must decide if she wants to fight these battles alone.

You, Me, and Our Heartstrings by Melissa See: A video showing a girl with cerebral palsy and a boy with anxiety playing music together goes viral. Now facing unrealistic pressure to perform, Daisy is afraid that their lives will fall apart.

White Smoke by Tiffany D. Jackson: Technically, it's horror/thriller, but this has one of my favorite (and accurate) portrayals of anxiety. Something is wrong with Marigold's new house. Forced to move with her family after an incident, she discovers that there is something rotten beneath the perfect neighborhood that could be linked to a disturbing history.

Sick Kids in Love by Hannah Moskowitz: School columnist Isabel considers breaking all of her rules when she meets a fellow disabled teen. But romance isn't always like what's shown in the movies, especially for disabled teens.

Happily Ever Afters by Elise Bryant: An anxious writer, Tessa, reaches for her dreams by enrolling into a prestigious school. As her friends try to help her find inspiration for her writing, there might be a love story just out of reach.

A Quiet Kind of Thunder by Sara Barnard: Selectively mute, Steffi is alone in her last year of school, leaving her social anxiety to spike. Until the new kid arrives, and he needs a translator who knows BSL.

probably time for this story i guess but when i was a kid there was a summer that my brother was really into making smoothies and milkshakes. part of this was that we didn't have AC and couldn't afford to run fans all day so it was kind of important to get good at making Cool Down Concoctions.

we also had a patch of mint, and he had two impressionable little sisters who had the attitude of "fuck it, might as well."

at one point, for fun, this 16 year old boy with a dream in his eye and scientific fervor in heart just wanted to see how far one could push the idea of "vanilla mint smoothie". how much vanilla extract and how much mint can go into a blender before it truly is inedible.

the answer is 3 cups of vanilla extract, 1/2 cup milk alternative, and about 50 sprigs (not leaves, whole spring) of mint. add ice and the courage of a child. idk, it was summer and we were bored.

the word i would use to describe the feeling of drinking it would maybe be "violent" or perhaps, like. "triangular." my nose felt pristine. inhaling following the first sip was like trying to sculpt a new face. i was ensconced in a mesh of horror. it was something beyond taste. for years after, i assumed those commercials that said "this is how it feels to chew five gum" were referencing the exact experience of this singular viscous smoothie.

what's worse is that we knew our mother would hate that we wasted so much vanilla extract. so we had to make it worth it. we had to actually finish the drink. it wasn't "wasting" it if we actually drank it, right? we huddled around outside in the blistering sun, gagging and passing around a single green potion, shivering with disgust. each sip was transcendent, but in a sort of non-euclidean way. i think this is where i lost my binary gender. it eroded certain parts of me in an acidic gut ecology collapse.

here's the thing about love and trust: the next day my brother made a different shake, and i drank it without complaint. it's been like 15 years. he's now a genuinely skilled cook. sometimes one of the three of us will fuck up in the kitchen or find something horrible or make a terrible smoothie mistake and then we pass it to each other, single potion bottle, and we say try it it's delicious. it always smells disgusting. and then, cerimonious, we drink it together. because that's what family does.

#this is true #writeblr #warm up #relatedly for some reason one of our Favorite Jokes #amongst the Siblings #is like - ''this is so good u will love it'' #while we are reacting to something we OBVIOUSLY find viscerally disgusting #like we will be actively retching and be like ''nooooo it's so good'' #to the point that i sometimes get nervous if someone outside my family is like oh u should try it its good #(obvi we never force each other to eat anything. we are all just curious birds and #like. we're GONNA try the new thing.) #edit to answer why we had so much vanilla: #my mom is a very good cook and we LOVE to bake. so she just had a lot of staples in the house. #it's one of those things that's like. have u ever continuously thought ''ah i should get butter im probably out'' #even tho u are not out of butter. so u end up with like 5 years of butter. #my mom would do that in a costco but like with vanilla extract #to be fair we WERE always using WAY TOO MUCH bc we were kids #so like she was right to stock up #ps. yes we were VERY sick after this lol i just didn't want to include it in the post in case ppl had an ick about that #u can tell it's real bc we knew "oh no we fucked up that's too much vanilla to waste'' but our reaction was to just. keep drinking it #> sibling understanding that vanilla extract isn't free > knowledge mother doesnt mind if we use it for milkshakes #> sibling choice to maybe get in a loophole of ''not wasting it'' if we drink it bc that's the same as using it (not throwing it out) #listen bud i was like 13 and my sister was like 9 #when my mom discovered this we. got in. A LOT. of trouble. a lot of it. a LOT of it. #3rd edit bc i guess it isn't clear - i am 1 of my brother's 2 little sisters #i am the middle child #out of all the ways i have had to explain a post before being like ''did u forget a middle child can happen'' is my favorite

you recommended sick kids in love. the only way i can read it is through an audio book from my library. would it be good to listen to it, or would i not get the full effect and should just buy the ebook? i am also “sick” so would it be triggering? lastly, do you know of anywhere online i could read it for free?

i personally am not a big fan of audiobooks but i don’t think listening to one will take away from the experience! i don’t think it would be triggering, it’s a pretty raw book but it’s very well done. i looked but idk there is a free online version :(
