I ordered over 70€ worth of books for my thesis this weekend… slowly losing my marbles

The next time people are gonna say a performance/art piece/etc is boring or meaningless or whatever, I’m gonna hold their hand when I say that the artist would have been killed by the Capitol if we lived in the Hunger Games world

Fourth Wing and Vampire Academy similarities

Military school

Dream Walking (the spirit users in VA had this ability)

Male love interest turned into the evil version of the ‘good’ soldier (strigoi/venin)

Mother with a respectable reputation as a high ranking officer in a military-like system + an incredibly smart father who has no physical strength whatsoever and no one understands how he bagged the mom

Reblog to let your followers know that despite your current obsession your previous obsessions still exist and are simply lying dormant until they awaken and strike again

My Adrian Ivashkov obsession has been rekindled and so has my Nikolai Lantsov obsession in turn. Felt like reblogging this post to once more honor the only men in my life that truly matter.

Nikolai Lantsov 🤝 Adrian Ivashkov

Being the best male characters to exist in YA fantasy and the cause of my insanity

"we who study humanities are lucky because to us nothing loses meaning, of course we won't be reading a book from the 1400s the same way they did back then, but with time it acquired more and more meanings and we can still find things to reflect on today"

and with this random reflection this professor won me over

Violet 🤝 Sloane

Wanting to climb their wingleader (who might or might not have an indirect connection to their brothers death) like a tree

No wonder Liam wrote that Violet reminded him a lot of her

books of 2025 — review #4

Mirror Nation by Don Mee Choi

Finished: 08/02/25

Rating: 4/5 ⭐️

One of the most experimental poetry collections I have read to date. While difficult to understand at times (in part because Choi sometimes switches between German and Korean without translation), this collection is such a raw tale of genocide, generational trauma, migration, and globalization.

You never knew where a certain thought would pull the story. It was so unpredictable and then I’d be left gobsmacked, staring at the text with open mouth and no heart in my chest because it’s been ripped out.

As an aspiring poet, I was so mesmerized by Choi’s inclusion of pictures and how that in itself is such a powerful tool to tell a story on its own. This collection really made me think how to create a unique narrative within the poetic genre. It’s such a free space that you could work to your advantage as a writer.

Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros

Finished: 23/01/25

Rating: 2/5 ⭐️

I wrote a LENGTHY review on Goodreads, but suffice it so say that this was a trainwreck. A filler book from the first page to the last with a whole lot of world building that could’ve easily been covered in part in the first books.

Listen, I am late with updating my tumblr tag, so you have seen me lose my mind over theories for book 4/5. I will continue reading this series because for some Godsforsaken reason it is addictive and I snort it like crack. BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN I THINK IT IS WELL WRITTEN!!!!

FAR FROM IT

Yarros took plot twists from Vampire Academy, ACOTAR, and Throne of Glass. She does not have a creative bone in her body. The writing is terrible, repetitive, and tiring. The world building is a complete mess. The characters are flat as a pancake. The plot is as still as murky pool water.

The mistakes started when she decided to explore geographical places that weren’t even on the NEWLY CREATED MAP of the world. Girl, be for fucking real right now. I’m not gonna go into this anymore because the details are all in my goodreads review lol

Dinner for Vampires by Bethany Joy Lenz

Finished: 14/01/25

Rating: 5/5 ⭐️

I knew Joy from One Tree Hill, one of my favorite tv shows, such a nostalgic series. I didn’t know much about her though. She was just another actress to me.

That was until I read her memoir because what the fuck is this? I was terrified on her behalf even though everything that’s mentioned has already happened. She was drawn into a cult that used her as a human ATM and left emotionally abused.

Aside from the horrific contents that Joy describes, her narrative style is what drew me in the most. She made a brilliant choice in using popculture vampire names for all these people (for legal reasons but still). It all made perfect sense in the end where she tied up the title and the names to her being the “vampire dinner.” Sucked from life to give it to others.

The writing is so strong and that’s something you don’t usually see in memoirs. The main focus is, as it should be, on the contents, but the authors often don’t play with the genre. Joy realizes its potential and uses it to her advantage.

guy who doesnt realize hes commanding a small army and thinks a lot of people are just going along with his bit

The only reasonable and intelligent people in this entire series are Dain and Brennan, but you didn’t hear that from me.
