Books I read in July and holy fucking fuck were bangers
"Radio Apocalipse" by Kayleigh Gallagher 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕
Does it deserve this rating? I don't know, but I do know that reading this book made me feel like I'm soothingly stroking hair of my teenage self and at the same time for the most part I needed to take a walk outside to make sure that the world did not actually end. And the author wrote this as a teenager? Have my firstborn child.
"All systems red" by Martha Wells 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕
Have I ever thought that I would see a character that calls itself "murderbot" and think "BABY!"? Yes. There is no motherly bone in my body but be not fooled. Everyone will be babyfied. No one is safe. Lock your favorites away because I will find them and I will spoon-feed them soup. Also, the found family slapped me upside the head in this one and I'm a step away from writing silly little coffee shop AUs. Stay tuned for other books in the series ig
"Educated" by Tara Westover 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕
It's been a while since a book made me fear my own mortality and vulnerability to the influence of the people around me, thank you Tara Westover.

You can miss a person every day, and still be glad that they are no longer in your life.

It’s strange how you give the people you love so much power over you.

Educated by Tara Westover
Stepping into Brigham Young University at the age of seventeen, Tara goes into her first classroom. Growing up with a father who believes he needs to prepare for the end of the world and that public schools are evil, and a mother who makes herbal remedies and midwifes for a living, Tara did not have a stable education as a child. This memoir details her education as a child, her education in university, and learning to unlearn the things she was taught as a girl.
This book was tough, honestly. I found it endlessly fascinating, but there were a lot of portions detailing abuse, and those parts were really tough. I thought this book was fantastic, though. I found Tara's thinking to be intriguing, since her upbringing was so different from my own, and her family seems like they were tough to live with, especially as her world was opening up.
Recommended for: people curious about doomsday preppers, anyone who thinks this book sounds interesting, and people who want to appreciate their own education
Content Warnings: abuse (emotional, physical, and verbal), gore

Sada, u dobi od dvadeset devet godina, sjela sam pisati, rekonstruirati trenutak od odjeka i eha umorna sjećanja. Kopam za njim. Kad dođem do kraja, zaustavljam se. U ovoj priči postoji nedosljednost, neki duh.
Čitam. Čitam iznova. I tu je.
Tko je ugasio vatru?
Dugo uspavani glas kaže, tata je.
Obrazovana, Tara Westover

Talebe otobiyografik bir roman. Bana psikolojik olarak yorucu ve ağır geldi. O yüzden okuması kolay diyemem ama etkileyiciydi. Okurken bunlar gerçek insanlar mı hayal ürünü mü demekten kendinizi alamıyorsunuz. Ama yaşananlardansa karakterin o yaşananlar karşısında ki duruşu ve tavrı beni şaşırttı. İster istemez neden neden diye kafamın içinde bağırırken buldum kendimi.
