Back when I was 11 I didn't even know what gay people were, but I remember wishing that Anaid and Clodia from War of Witches by Maite Carranza would just make out their way out of every fight they were having in the 1rst book.

[haveyoureadthisfantasybook2]

note: like the first two books in this series, this has been translated into many languages (at least 15 for this third book), and the titles all appear to be literal translations of the original Spanish title.

Why do I feel like the pre-Kidnapping is just the closing shift by chilla art. Same premise basically broke girl working at the japanese coffee shop except oh no stalking 🙃

Yandere Ogata AU!

Yeah, its kinda like it. Most likely because i really like the fact of a non atractive stalker. Not only about looks but also the feeling of it. Stalking is a form of abuse and a crime, it comes from trauma to create more trauma. I aim to create an aura similar to horror games and not so much of a romantic novel.

Here are some of my inspirations trough the years of making Yandere content in different platforms:

Killing Stalking (comic) Twist -Delphine Bertholon (book) Boyfriend to dead (game) You- Caroline Kepnes (book) Hannibal (serie) Sadistic beauty (side story B, comic) John Doe (game) Lurking for love (game) color recipe (manga) The wrong man- John Katzenbach (book) Frost bite (game) Funamusea games Lolita- Vladimir Nabokov (book) Poisoned Words- Maite Carranza (book) Vivinos yt channel "ギャラリア" Galleria- Hiigari Kirai/WOOMA (music video) Doki Doki Literature club (game) Sooner or Later Youre gonna be mine (fan comic) White Otaru night (Fan game) DSM-5 (psychology book) CIE-11 (Psychology book)

And probably others i don't remember

[maksurat]

İspanya'daki ekonomik kriz sebebiyle hayatları altüst olan bir anne ve iki çocuğunun yaşam hikayesi güzel bir dil ve hoş bir hayal gücüyle anlatılmış. Çocukların yaşlarından büyük acılara ve zorluklara maruz kalması beni her zaman ağlatır. Bu da ağlattı...

Meryem'e orta okula geçince okutmak isterim.

Ve anladım ki , yetişkinler hayatla başa çıkmak için kendilerini kandırıyor ve öylece yollarına devam ediyorlar.

Relecturas 1

Lo primero siempre son los clásicos y en este caso, los cuentos de Disney son un buen lugar por el que empezar. Sin embargo, todos sabemos lo que está mal con ellos, por lo que centrarme en criticar que la bella durmiente solo aparece durante 17 minutos en su propia adaptación cinematográfica o que Blancanieves hace las tareas domésticas a cambio de vivienda no tendría gran interés, porque eso es…

my favourite book of all time

is a book that LITERALLY NO ONE KNOWS

It’s called “Midsummer Night’s Magic” (or something like that, I’m not sure about the translation) by Maite Carranza

It’s about a girl (Marina) who gets involved with fae and goes to Ireland instead of her sick sister (Angela) to save her from a cruel queen’s spell. 

Not like Shakespeare’s play, obviously, but still very good. 10/10

AND GUESS WHAT

it has an enemies to lovers AND the “there’s only one bed” prompt without being s/xual in any ways.

Recensione: Il clan della lupa di Maite Carranza

Una ragazza. Una profezia. Una guerra millenaria. Dai Pirenei alla Sicilia, le streghe sono tornate. Trama: Le cose non sono sempre quel che sembrano. Questa amara verità è ben nota ad Anaïd Tsinoulis, che ha quattordici anni ma è talmente piccola e magra da dimostrarne dieci; e quel che è peggio, sua madre Selene è una vera bellezza, sensuale e provocante. Certo, Anaïd è intelligente, ma a che…

Come in un film

Come in un film

Come un film davvero, di quelli in cui ci si ritrova spesso alle prese con il dubbio che possa esserci un lieto fine, che tutto possa risolversi. Perché Maite Carranza struttura la narrazione con crescendo sapienti, i quali raggiungono climax che paiono risolutivi, nel bene e nel male, per poi ripiegarsi nella normalità ormai filmica del quotidiano e far abituare il lettore a un nuovo ritmo, che…

[haveyoureadthisfantasybook]

note: confusingly, despite as far as I can tell only being a translation of the first book in the trilogy, the English edition takes the title of the series as a whole (La Guerra de las Brujas, as seen on the Spanish omnibus edition) as its title.

vote yes if you have finished the entire book.

vote no if you have not finished the entire book.

Todas hemos tenido una infancia vigilada, una adolescencia traumática y una juventud difícil.

“La guerra de las brujas: El clan de la loba” - Maite Carranza

[king-maven-calore]

bestiee

Besides Ms Aveyard work (wich we all wordship) what other sagas or stand alones YA did you liked? And what about those you didn't like?

A saga with similar vibes to RQ I would say The Maze Runner, I used to live for those books. Kinda different... I would say the Shatter Me series (Kenji my beloved💜) I don't read a lot of YA standalones but one that stuck with me for years and I wish the author had kept writing similar stuff (she didn't 😭) is Magia de una noche de verano by Maite Carranza (A Summer's night magic, it's a wordplay of the Shakespeare play but in spanish) The vibes are extremely similar to Holly Black's Cruel Prince trilogy, so you can imagine how thrilled I was to find those last year.

I'm an easy-to-please reader and I tend to be generous in my mental ratings most of the time so if I simply disliked a book, I forget about it. Now, if it personally wronged me, my dog, and my family, and it has THE AUDACITY of being popular I nourish a grudge toward it more toxic than buried radioactive waste lmao. My cursed trinity is: the select*on, the hung*r games, anna and the fr*nch kiss.

2 and 8 for the book ask game! ☺️

Thanks for the ask! ✨

2. Second hand or brand new?

I like second hand books a lot, but I have nothing against brand new ones! I buy brand new books a lot, but the second hand ones, especially when they were gifted to me, have a special meaning for me ✨

8. What’s your favorite “elusive” series? (i.e., the series that most people haven’t heard of)

I don't know if it's really elusive, but I haven't really heard people talking about War of The Witches by Maite Carranza!

[kashilascorner]

2, 4, 11 and 15? 👀✨💓

🥰✨

2. have you ever found a writer who thinks just like you? if so, who?

Academically not because I base my own thinking in what I read from other authors and from other opinions/commentary on them and from there, I pick and chose what I agree on and to what extent.

With literature writers, it's probably the same. I share some thoughts with some authors but I don't think I can say there's someone who thinks just like me and that's good. I don't really think about the authors I read in those terms, more like what do they have to say about art, life, society...(not the other way around)

4. do you like your name?  is there another name you think would fit you better?

I do really like my name! I think it's pretty, and I like the meaning (with Laura basically equivalent to victorious), though I don't know if I'll live up to it 😅 also, not fit better, but I like Layla though becauss it sounds kind of similarbut the meaning (night) is lovely, so I went by that name for some time (hence why it's also on my bio here)

11. describe your ideal day.

(This got LONG omg)

I wake up early but not terribly early (let's say 8am). I have a nice breakfast with tea, fruits and eggs or fresh bread. It's a nice day, either a cool spring day or a warn autumn day. There's sun in the sky but it does not itch. I spend the morning in downtown Madrid, probably. Other city can do if I'm traveling obviously. It's not a weekend. I walk a lot in the park (or do some sightseeing if in any other city), then visit a museum preferably classic art. I might visit some cool place like a cathedral. Then I meet with a loved one for lunch. It might be a friend, but it can be a date too. We have a good meal in some cool place, preferably one they recommend. Then we go around walking, maybe do some shopping, maybe go to a nearby place that I haven't seen yet. We go to a market, smell the fruits and the flowers and feel the sun and the people. We engage with whatever is going on: street performers, touristic tours, visit houses, go to the forest, play games, feed birds, go to a spa... Then have dinner in this new town/part of town, somewhere we have never been in. Then we go clubbing a bit, have a couple beers but not too much and we dance and laugh and then we walk the streets at night together till sunrise surprise us.

15. five most influential books over your lifetime.

Hmmm this is hard but I think these will do:

-The Grimm Fairy Tales / The Bible for kids : I know I'm cheating here, but keep up with me. Both of these deeply impressioned me asa child. My mom read me tales, and as soon as I could read, I read them too. These two were beautiful illustrated editions that I still love with all my heart.

-1984 by George Orwell: nothing much to say here. Impactful in many ways, possibly shaped my sociogical thinking in ways I'm not even fully aware of

-Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert: look this book TERRIFIED me because 17 year old me really saw herself reflected in Emma rip

-American Gods by Neil Gaiman: shaped/put into words a lot of my own views of how systems of belief work and what faith means and what ideas are made of before I was able to truly express such things. Plus, it's a fantasy book with adventures so!

-Thirteen reasons why by Jay Asher: not getting into the author or the adaptation which I have not eatched but this book genuinely made me think of how what we do affects others.

And I'm adding a short story: The yellow wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman

Honorable mentions: Palabras envenenadas by Maite Carranza (first narrative without dialogues I ever read, a sordid ya about abuse and there's a sentence about how words shape us as humans that still haunts me to thai day), Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov (another terrifying book and possibly the one that sparkes my interest in writing characters that simply aren't good people and also unreliable narrators!), A clockwork orange by Anthony Burgess (blew my mind away around at the same time as 1984), The red tent by Anita Diamant (read it last year and went straight to one of my favorite books ever), The prince by Niccolo Machiavelli (I WILL defend this book to my last breath ok. How can somethinf be so famous and yet so misunderstood is just), Antología poética del Grupo del 27 ed. Vicente Gaos for editorial Catedra (got me interested in poetry for real)
