There are several questions we are all used to in life. What superpower would you want? What do you want to be when you grow up? What's your biggest regret? I haven’t lived too long, so I haven’t had many chances to do something so horrible nothing can be compared to how much I regret it. Until recently.

I'm an avid book-reader, enthusiast, collector, and lover. I've read many books, though not nearly enough, and have yet to read a book I did not enjoy. As all books are incredible in their own way, picking a favorite obviously is a challenging process, thus I have a three-way tie for favorite, and am unable to rank books any further than that. My three favorite books include: The Story of Edgar Sawtelle by David Wroblewski, Billy Summers by Stephen King, and Everything Everything by Nicola Yoon. The novel Everything Everything was the first of these favorites to gain the unobtainable title of favorite. It's a beautiful and inspiring story, that I've reread one a year for five years. I'd also like to state that I have no problem with lending my books to others and giving book recommendations. I quite enjoy sharing incredible literature with others. But recently, I made the mistake of entrusting my beloved, well-cared for copy of Everything Everything with a stranger. With someone with not a care in the world for books and literature. Someone who I shall never trust again, and will hold a grudge against forever. She, whom I will not name, dog-eared, dozens of the delicate, worshiped pages in my copy of Everything Everything. I will regret to my grave, ever even giving thought to letting her lay eyes on my adored novel.

Although it does not contain the many memories attached to my original copy, my generous elder sister bought me a new, hardcover copy, which shall never be soiled by hands other than my own.

He dragged himself around work as if facing a high wind. Everything took an eternity, became a laborious detail. And Glen hated details. He was built for broad gestures—all a person had to do was look at his hands to know that. A man with hands like Glen's would do certain things, and certain other things would never be in the cards. He'd never be a pianist, for example, or a veterinary surgeon. Not that he wanted those things, it was just that he'd found himself looking at his hands a lot lately, and his hands said they weren't there for detail work.

He thought he was going to cry, but instead his mind emptied and he lay staring along the roots and leaves of the forest floor and listened to the far-off sound of the dogs rattling through the underbrush.

Prompt 43 Rec List

Here are some recs for prompt 43 of the Diverse Reading Challenge 2022. Full prompt list is here

Prompt 43 -  A book with a physically disabled and/or chronically ill protagonist

So Lucky - Nicola Griffith

I read this book for this prompt in 2020 and my review is here. 

This novel follows a woman, who is diagnosed with MS, the same week her wife leaves her, and shortly after is forced to leave her job. She decides to fight back by finding a new community. This book has such an interesting protagonist, and great prose. I would recommend if you are looking for a character study. 

The Story of Edgar Sawtelle - David Wroblewski

This is a retelling of Hamlet, set in a remote farm focused on breeding dogs. It follows Edgar, whose once peaceful life is broken when his uncle moves in. This is an enjoyable book, with some very clever reinterpretations of Hamlet. I would recommend to Shakespeare fans, or people who like books about dogs.  

The Nothing Within - Andy Giesler

A sci-fi novel, it is set in the post-apocaylpse. It follows Root, who after hearing a voice no one else can hear, flees her home into the wilderness, and must confront a threat to her people, and find out the truth about who she is. This is an interesting sci-fi novel, and weaves journal entries and stories together. I would recommend it to any post-apocalyptic fan. 

Note: I have not personally read the following books, but they are all on my to-read list. 

Fairest - Meredith Talusan

A memoir, of a trans woman with albinism, talking about her journey moving to America and transitioning. 

Something to Talk About - Meryl Wilsner

A romance, an actress and her assistant are photographed together, sparking rumors they are a couple.
