So I made a thing...
This is an "edit" for want of a better word of books that I feel are important to me. Some of them are things I read as a child that are no longer my favourites but they sparked a game or an idea that I really remember, some of them are books I've re read so many times, some of them are my favourites, many of them made me cry. Of course there are more books I could've considered but these ones felt right. This was actually so fun to do because I got to remember all of the stories I love and then take snazzy pictures in a pile of books.
If you spot your favourite book reblog and put it in the tags! I'd love to see some other people make these too if you think it looks fun.
All the books in the video are in the tags

I sometimes think of fictional characters who just seem to have the worst luck possible. They act with agency, but the author is out to get them and everything which could go wrong does. They just never have a good moment. For example, Tess Durbeyfield from Tess of the d'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy, or Catlyn Stark from A Song of Ice and Fire by George RR Martin. At some point it becomes almost funny, because it's so ridiculous that this could happen. My number one unlucky girly is Sephy Hadley from the Noughts and Crosses series. Across five books my good bitch:
1- deals with her alcoholic mother
2- is nearly killed in a terrorist attack
3- gets kidnapped
4- is raped (she and the narrative don't consider it rape, but I have reservations)
5- watches her kidnapper/rapist/boyfriend die
6- sees her sister get stabbed
7- receives a letter from her dead kidnapper/rapist/boyfriend telling her how much he hates her, right after she had his baby (Callie)
8- develops post-natal depression
9- nearly kills Callie after a mental breakdown (unsurprising, really)
10- Callie is groomed by a terrorist
11- Sephy's mother gets breast cancer
12- Sephy's mother takes the material intended for Callie to use as a suicide bomb and instead blows herself up
13- Sephy's daughter Callie is shot and spends several weeks unconscious and in hospital
14- Sephy is blackmailed an extorted by a gang member from the gang who shot Callie
15- Sephy's husband is killed in a hit-and-run orchestrated by her ex-boyfriend
16- Sephy's son (with her dead husband) is abducted by her daughter's ex-boyfriend's baby mama
17- Sephy's daughter's ex-boyfriend (falsely) accuses Sephy of murder
18- Sephy tries to rescue her son from a car bomb but is shot and killed

anyway poor Sephy :(

Maybe we're here to make a positive difference, to leave this world a better place than when we entered it. Sometimes all it takes is a kind word or gesture or even a smile at the right time.
