#slump reading

[somerabbitholes]

I’m in a reading slump. Can you please suggest some light reading to push me out of it? :)

here you go.

also a few more additions since then —

beartown trilogy by fredrik backman: it’s about a town devoted to ice hockey, and a really really really well-done story of where it takes the community

against everything by mark greif: essays on a whole bunch of things including the commodification of food, exercise and sex among other things; really quite thoughtfully done. the book sort of lingers in the background: i started it sometime last year and i pick it up when i feel like it after weeks and months

the dangers of smoking in bed by mariana enriquez: a little heavier than what you'd normally seek out in light reading, but it's good nonetheless. a collection of gothic horror, all set in buenos aires, all revolving around women; i found the book very darkly fascinating

ghachar ghochar by vivek shanbag: about a family that becomes rich very suddenly, and what that does to the family fabric, their sense of self and morality; it's a quick read

Elliot and his emotional support crab burning the midnight oil.

#doodle #stardew valley #stardew valley elliot #you and me both elliot #wish us luck that we would be able to meet our deadlines #*SOBS* #i want to read a fanfic where you keep accidentally interrupting elliot in the middle of writing #the 5 times youre embarassed for messing his groove #and the one time you interrupt him when he’s in a slump/block and he’s suddenly gets a surge of inspo #Headcanons: Elliot chews on his pens/pencils when he’s pondering on synonmys. #he purses his lips and balances pens under his nose when he’s editing his work. #Many of his writing utensils(??) are lost in his hair when he’s doing a bit of research.

Started reading The Queen's Thief series and let me just say that I've not been able to read a physical book in months! I've been living off audiobooks. But this 300 page complaint from a bitchy little thief has me HOOKED! I'm speeding through it, it's so good!

Getting excited to read a book is such a good feeling.

#especially after a reading slump #we are so back #booklr

[a-book-scarfing-goblin]

A reading slump but instead not being able to read it’s not being able to find a book you enjoy
