it's (most of) the books i read in 2022!
i finally joined the local library i have only lived in this town for ten years it's about time and set up my old paperwhite kindle so i can check out ebooks, too.
i was really looking forward to aquanaut, by one of the cave divers involved in the 2018 thailand cave rescue, and to the third pole, and neither of them disappointed. station eleven was achingly beautiful, and the six of crows duology knocked me sideways with how much i loved it. the three-body problem was fascinating. the dark forest was...not.
#hanger e#long post#i have complained to friends and family at length about how bad the dark forest is#also i read thrillers now!#breathless was my first and a lot of fun

CAUSE THIS IS THRILLER (bark), THRILLER (bark) NIGHT
Usopp's outfit is so funny for reals
He got the whole squad laughing
Luffy enablers at it again.... (Robin.... I know.....)
The humor panels so far have been so good!!! God this arc is so funny
HE SAID IT‼️‼️
They look like birds 😭😭
It's just too good... luffy taking cerberus and zombies what can't he do
It's just banger after banger what can I say
Franky feeling for other people because of his guilt complex and sanji lying through his teeth and pulling out the women excuse to seem unaffected... yeah
Look at them.... look how they ate
Omg joyboy reference?? (No)
Sanji is rubbing off on usopp.... also chopper noticing that is sogeking's weapon akdhaksjak
ANOTHER SLAY!!!!!
Their priorities: I'm not strong enough, there isn't enough food, and nami isn't here
Franky going from wanting to kill brook for his jokes to making a joke like his after he hears his backstory... exactly (Robin was already enabling him before the backstory even fdagjsfha)
Sanji is altering his body and actually being on fire to communicate to us how fucking mad he is..... I need more of him going insane I do I do
My god what is he doing ALDJALAJALA
AHSAHAHQHAH THEY ARE THE SAME!!! naaah sanji wouldn't force a woman to be his wife
You cant see me but I am nodding my head in agreement over and over
You don't understand he altered his body to communicate to us how mad he is. He inploded himself and then reconstituted again. Those germa 66 genes are insane
You tell em usopp!!!! The first of many girls you've scared into defeat!!! Akdjqknql
Zoro zombie regressed to not trusting robin akdjaks he's still in there
ROBI-CHO SUPLEX??? HELL YEAAAAAH
There is zosa- [GUNSHOT GUNSHOT GUNSHOT GUNSHOT]
Super frapper gong.... he is doing combo shots with frobin... omg.... parents....
Everything is so fun I'm having such a good time reading.... and then zosan angst like damn I am being fed well here
#in the anime the guys didn't say they wanted to die aldjlajala for the kids luffy just wants to turn into a clam#thriller bark is so funny.... 'worst arc' my ass.... it's funny as hell and then we get zosan angst. best thing ever#same with skypiea but there we got really nice relationships betwen characters and nolan x calgara homoeroticism for the ages#and LORE for the ages. not like the kuma incident won't be talked about in the history books but yeah#everyone calling absalom perv salom... yeah#sanji in that fucking penguin never gets old.... also HELLO LOLA#moira fought against kaido and lost akdjsksnks is that why he became a warlord? just like whitebeard defeated crocodile?? out of spite??#also what is the land of ice where moira got oars? he also mentioned it before too... i thot he was referring to ryuma so it was wano but n#the legend of the continent puller who built a nation of villains.... okay okay oars....#oars was killed 500 years ago.... ✍️✍️ this somehow feels important bc of its closeness to the void century etc#zombie luffy oars wanting sanjis food.... 🚬🚬🚬 of course.....#oars luffy maintaining his dream... yeah yeah. also namis outfits for this arc are so sickening.... i miss them already#the zombie generals being at absalom's wedding... thats so funny..#luffy oars is so funny aldjslsn just making himself a hat and steering his giant ship... of course#you guys think they are going to make sanji mad about the clear clear fruit in the opla or completely ignore it bc his reasoning is bad#like it makes sense with the wci backstory it does but that would be spoilers lmao. so its either he wants to peep on women or nothing#i love the greek chorus of the two zombies telling the audience how they are both as bad in that regard. amazing#did ryuma use french for his attack.... there is zosan everywhere for tho-[GUNSHOTS]#zombie ryuma's design is also cool as hell.... his blood is literally fire.... come on now....#also zoro says he wants to act like this fight didnt happen... is that why he says fuck all in wano to hiyori? damn. he said i put shame#in you and your country but i will keep it quiet bc you gave me a cool sword and fight and i am actually so honorable. thats him yeah...#zombie zoro and sanji remaining tfait being that they hate (love fighting) each other... there is zosa-[GUNSHOT GUNSHOT GUNSHOT]#i forgot how much oars destroyed them... after enies lobby they seem untouchable but without their captain there... the gears are turning..#also btw i cannot believe im gonna get an answer about why the skypieans and the shandians have wings. thats insane#i am enjoying luffy oars so much it is so fun. trying to enjoy it bc i know i won't be laughing anymore once sabaody kicks in.... fuck me..#usopp and franky wanting to wait for luffy to beat oars down but zoro and sanji know... and they will KNOW soon enough....#i forgor kuma asked about ace to nami... what is going on. kuma coming from the warlord meeting too.... did he want to warn him??#he wanted to inform moria about balckbeard becoming a warlord omg here we go.... also moria being racist towards kuma hello???#and he strictly follows the government.... until here bc he lets luffy go.... christ.... he asks about ace bc he knew what blackbeard did..#reading one piece

life has been so rough lately but on the plus i turned back to my original favourite (healthy) coping mechanism of reading and i’ve finished almost 2 books this week. i forgot how fast i can read when i enjoy a book and im trying to distract my brain lol.
#i need to join a book community because I have many thoughts about these 2#if u have any horror/thriller etc recs pls send them my way#none of my irl friends enjoy reading so I can’t yap to them#reading the salt grows heavy by cassandra khaw right now and it’s good but#it’s also written in one of the weirdest ways I’ve ever seen#like I consider myself to have a pretty good vocabulary and the author uses the most… obscure and unnecessarily complicated words????#why am I googling what half the sentence means please#someone on Goodreads says it’s written like a scrabble game and they are so right but I need to finish#I just finished tender is the flesh and I have so many thoughts but I’ll save u all the nausea#ramblings

#one piece#sanji#black leg sanji#everysanji#thriller bark#ch464#something i've noticed following the newer generation of every blogs is that they post the whole panel?#which like. you can run your blog how you want but for the smaller characters i personally#prefer to zoom in on them so you know exactly where they are in relation to everything#also if you were wondering how i manage to find the absolutely microscopic sanjis. its basically like that#i keep track of him in a given scene and where he is in relation to others#and generally i can spot him if he's even a dot on the page#i dont read the chapters anymore. i've started skimming it a bit but i'm not reading in depth#i probably will slow down to read once we hit wano which will be in uh. 4 years#maybe sooner if i keep up with the queue#also ik you wont see this for a while but i'm thinking on bumping the queue up again since i've been better about keeping it filled#i try to keep it above 100 posts now#i'd love to not spend another year on this arc like we spent in water 7 u know.

still no internet, also I had a bit of a breakdown over our dishwasher today (the damn thing doesn't fit with the door that we've got, but we'll figure it out, and if not I'll just explode or whatever).
BUT. I started listening to The Thursday Murder Club yesterday because it was on my phone and I've listened to almost all the other audiobooks on there now, and oh my god? I love it so much. haven't been obsessed with a book in a long long time but this might do it lol
#I didn't know anything about it#if I had known that it's about a bunch of old people..... well I might have listened to it sooner! I love them all so much#but especially Ibrahim#that's my 80 year old baby boy!!#they're all so funny#i think I expected it to be a bit boring because I only read thrillers and well 🤷 but it's not. it's adorable and funny and I'm really#enjoying it#I can't remember if I've got the other ones on my computer. I hope so#😬😬😬 I can't wait until we have internet#ugh i guess I'll have to set up my computer somewhere tomorrow and check.#I would have had to do that anyway since I'm almost out of books now (I mean. only on my phone. there's plenty on my computer lol)#anyway yeah love this book so much 🥰#also I will never let my partner check things that depend on accuracy again. he promised he checked if the dishwasher would fit and#I guess I should've double checked but there was so much else to do 🙃 he just doesn't really care about detail so it makes sense that he#didn't do a very thorough job. still irritating but. he'll have to find a solution so hopefully it'll work out in the end#personal

i think its really fitting that the "this shit........ is so ass :'') " anime girl reaction image is from oshi no ko because that is also what my expression was like the whole time while reading the entire last third of the story
#theres like what. one or two chapters left? we are almost free. we are almost free#i hope they make the adaptations better. its such a weird ass manga#like it started solid albeit full of hashtag anime weirdness so a bit of a hard sell#and then like for a while there it was just like a genuinely good showbiz drama. the best arc was the stageplay arc we know this#although one thing about it that ive always noticed. for a manga with a premise about like. isekai idol revenge thriller. its like#so uninterested in idols? like while the showbiz entertainment industry drama was pretty great at times it like. ignored the idol side#like it did a tiny bit of stuff here and there but by the second half it had completely forgotten about it LOL#im curious if the anime and live drama will expand that more. the anime has lots of like tie in idol songs ive noticed#MY THOUGHTS on how the finale's been going: the character motivations are genuinely incomprehensible to me now like#the antagonists motivations and character and everything got so deflated i couldnt track it anymore#BUT i do think its bold to kill off ur protag like that. was it done well? not really no LOL#BUT it was bold. i think my eyes were so glazed over around then that such a last minute turn like that... it kinda ruled <3#i think theres been leaks about the last chapter or two? which i havent seen yet. but yeah rn thats where my opinion is#still love the music from the anime tho even tho i never watched it. also again even though the character motivations got like#so muddled and deflated by the end that i dont even know what the eye star symbolism is going for anymore -#I STILL think those eye stars rule thats a really great 00s shoujo manga esque character design choice#edit: TURNS OUT THE LAST CHAPTER WAS OUT i read it.... :') this shit. truly was ass

just finished reading dark matter by blake crouch and wow, i LOVED it. i'm actually tearing up a little, it was really, really good. i mean, from the moment i saw andy weir's endorsement on the cover i knew i was in for a good ride, but it really surprised me with how emotionally invested i got in it.
totally reccommended if you're in the mood for a good, exciting thriller with a sci-fi flair and a really strong emotional core that ties it all together 👍.
#ouuhghg I'M REALLY TEARING UP I LOVED IT#if you've read andy weir's books you're definitely going to enjoy it#not as heavy on the science (def more thriller here) but it's got that emotional core that kicks your ass and makes it all so so worth it#also i heard there's a show adaptation? but yeah i'm never the biggest fan of those so for now i'll pass. maybe some other time#when i don't have the book so present in my mind. cause it probably can't beat it lmao.#books#dark matter#according to jules

when you just want content for a book you read but the title is close enough to some movie one of tumblrs favorite white boys made out with a guy in so there’s nothing but gifs of that
#im mad#( ashley. )#i would make book content but all i read are bad thrillers with the occasional genius slipping in#also this book was probably only good To Me but it hit a lot of my favorite tropes#anyways guess ill SLEEP NOW

books that wouldve been in my top 9 this yr if not for something near the end (spoilers obv. but out of these id only highly recommend the 1st one i think)
bangkok wakes to rain - absolutely just a personal dislike but the near future scifi part ruined it for me
the woman in the window - as before mentioned, the killer was a sociopath all along! hes a sociopath so hes evil! a compassionate depiction of mental illness unless you have one that makes you evil
the majesties - another mental illness twist, im not entirely sure but it looks like the character who commited mass murder had an alter who was good. i dont. think. she had childhood trauma that would have caused did which is what makes me unsure but we all know authors dont care to research mental illnesses they want to demonize (which is so baffling too i thought authors loved researching every little thing for their books. but i guess not when they already have their idea of how something works. idk. i dont understand it at all.). it kinda has me like ? was that problematic ???? is it supposed to be a clever little twist that she doesnt have a murder alter, SHES the murderer? but that doesnt. work. like thats still bad to do
#🐇📚#just listing to reflect on it. been a lot of let downs this yr?? also surprisingly#related to my problem w the 1st one. how high we go in the dark had a similar thing happen but i think i still like it & it might be ij my#top 9? i think bc it fit really well and naturally with what the rest was abt. while bankok wakes to rains felt unnecessary. and depressing#to me personally. and just by coincidence a similar concept was done in black mirror and. better imo. (san junipero so.)#that these were potential top 9 out of the now 70 ive read this yr IS like. they were really good! just not for me. and the latter 2 did bad#things right at the end. thrillers authors why are you like this.

For Halloween reblog and tell us in the tag what’s your favorite Halloween / creepy song 👻🎃 Mine is Dead man runnin’ by Seulgi (RV)
#it’s not Halloween but for me it’s kinda creepy bfkdbdj#i became obsess with that song while reading a horror fanfic where the murderer told them to run for their life#it was just so perfect I laugh for 2 minutes and realize that song was the best thing in the world#it’s probably one of my fave now and I need to remind you she exist#but also I always had a hard time figuring out what made a song perfect for Halloween#i made a playlist last year and I will say I fail my task except some classic like ghostbuster and thriller bfkdbdjd#if it flop i don’t care I don’t even like Halloween I’m just curious bfksbdjd#ok to reblog#alex.txt#halloween#music

ENIES LOBBY TIME!!!
Sanji's face here.... he Knows he is going to fuck him up
THAT IS SANJI??? 😨
Holding them in my hands again....
Sanji struck a nerve there akdjaoajkq
Increible trio btw.... look at the evidence
............ me next please 🙏🏻
That is love right there I can see it
What if we all killed ourselves (except usopp is telling her the opposite ajahkdhsakjd)
I need sanji to go insane like this more often.... after the timeskip it doesn't happen as much and I love to see him suffering
This is so funny.... there is no denying to her face card
"It's not like she actually wants to die" well yes she does, but no because you know she doesn't really. It is in a quantum state right now
Luffy is such a menace akdhaksjkaak
TELL EM!!!! THAT'S MY GIRL!!!!
Look at franky worrying about robin.... do not fret luffy is coming and he will NOT lose!!!!!
This is zoro remarking how usopps fear of being left behind makes no sense.... this is so good.....
This is so endearing but it also breaks my heart....
Who is that sultry binch... (I don't recall this attack AT ALL and i'm sure we never see it again)
They botched his bbl.... 😔😔😔
Luffy's face here... he was convinced she wanted to go with them but was compelled to do otherwise but no.... he thought wrong and he can't fight to her.... I've just been staring at this page for minutes like damn.
Nevermind.... this is something your mother would say "you want to die??? Just wash the dishes and you can do whatever you want later"
"If you wanna die, or whatever...." this is so good like he knows what he is doing.... he Knows.... look at her face. After knowing how luffy and ace were as kids this just makes more sense (oda didn't think about this i'm sure but damn does it fit) also the slight manipulation.... look at all of us we're already here and look how we all miss you already... you know that post about luffy being selfish but his selfishness is jusg kindness to others... yesh
Thinking about robin's cinderella lifestyle.... why did her mother leave her with that aunt and why didn't some archeologist take her in?? Because she doesn't complain about anything just like she doesn't respond when that mother accused her of hitting her child without reason... that's so fucked
Alright this is funny (and also true)... I'm sorry fellow women....
*Justin Bieber voice* I like your laugh... dereishi shishishi
SHE'S GONNA ASK HER MOM TO TAKE HER TO THE SEA WITH HER??? LIKE SHE DOES AFTER WITH LUFFY??? MY GOD!!! I just bursted into tears like I got punched in the nose I can't keep going ajdhakajk
I lied i can keep going... but head in my hands over this....
Find out how my emotional stability survives this arc in ennies lobby part 2. coming soon
#franky calling sanji brother eyebrows is too good akdbsksnsk also ily franky#captain t bone.... he got killed tecently.... i forgot who he was until now but he actually cared thats so fucked up.... cross guild come o#sanji going against cp9 by himself.... i shant say it... SLAY!!!! also the cook being mad about being pretty cause he has no individuality.#lucci talking about a little girl being born wrong and needing to die for it TO SANJI!!! OOF!!!#the frog stopped rocketman bc he thought they kidnapped kokoro just like they took tom 😭😭😭 this fucking frog always gets me#chapter 377 and franky is in the headline with the strawhats ❤️❤️ they recruit TWO thirty year olds in enies lobby ajdhaksjks#franky biting spandex head.... yeah... and he should do it more why did he stop biting heads... he got domesticated#luffy is such a menace here like damn.... he is charging thru EVERYTHING!! GET THEM BOY!!!!#also franky is so important in giving robin hope here... like she sees him fighting back no matter what and i KNOW that inspires her...#i am going to say it hina fullbody and jango have a challengers thing going on but without hina being involved physically iykwim#when in action panels the ink just becomes lines... OOF!!! CHEFS KISS!!! MWAH MWAH#completely forgot gear 2 used the shave technique.... thats so cool..... also iron body must be haki then... and finger pistol#i dont think i can do this... after this ends we got thriller bark and then marineford starts building up...#i can endure water 7 sad moments bc everything ends up well in the end but what am i gonna do with marineford.... my god#also dr clover and dr hyruluk and crocus all have smilar plant based hair designs is that bc they are doctors or just coincidence#also robins father is dead and for sure another archeologist or similar.... thats inch resting....#which also like damn olvia and dragon had to make the same choices with their children i am sure. thats so fucked. dragon backstory when#clover knew the name of the fallen kingdom (robonosuke lore??) and also olvia knew some important information the gov didnt know... ✍️✍️✍️#SAKAZUKI SHOT THE EVACUATION SHIP???? HELLO??? I DIDNT REMEMBER IT WAS HIM!! (also olvia knew where saul was)#kuzan is sick in the head... he can't bring himsef to kill child robin but he will kill her as an adult... also his beef with akainu is OLD#like no wonder she was terrified when she saw him again. he said live like a recluse or i will end you and she fucking did. THE bogeyman#there are comments saying they hate akainu and he has just appeared 😭😭 JUST FUCKING WAIT#you guys think when luffy realised robin's enemy was the world gov he also realised it was sabo's enemy too.... bc as a child he didn't kno#also pluton was made as a countermeasure for the weapon robin could reactivate... could that be the one that was used in lulusia??#bc i thought that weapon was pluton but if pluton is just blueprints.... this makes more sense... which could also mean the ancient weapons#are a countermeasure for weapons the government already has. and thats why they're hunting them down. to have no opposition#so there must be two sides of the ancient weapons bc they call pluton that but also the unnamed one that robin could activate#so is pluton a countermeasure to uranus (the one used in lulusia i think) but neptune? trios dont make sene but a trio and their opposite d#reading one piece#enies lobby

my toxic trait is to picture any male character in the book i’m reading as pedro pascal
#pedro pascal#may talks shit#no because i only read thrillers so when there’s a bit of romance#you know what i’m talking about#also he weirdly fits well with every character i imagine in my head#reading the haunting of hill house right now and he’s giving dr montague

i think my hottest one piece take is that oda's artstyle is really sexist and racist, even though the writing is fantastic and most of the messages of the story are great. i enjoy this story because of what it says and how the characters are written, as well as the worldbuilding and the magic system and what have you, but i cannot find it within myself to blame someone for being turned off of it by the fact that oda knows how to draw one woman and that he does the minstrel lips for every black or black-coded character. literally one of the straw hats has these lips and he's the one who, when oda was asked what country each of the straw hats would be from in the real world, was given the entire continent of africa. all the others have a country. so like oda definitely holds some racist and sexist biases and those will stop a lot of people from enjoying the series and i think actually that it's fine for those people to dislike those things and a lot of OP fans need to chill out about that
#i saw a youtube comment recently where someone said oda is one of the only artists in the game who doesnt suffer from same face syndrome#like what fuckin manga are you reading pal bc it aint one piece#the men can look really distinct but most of the women are Literally Just Nami#im still catching up with the series so i'm going to post and reblog more one piece stuff in the future#just for now i'm trying to avoid too many spoilers as best i can so i dont even follow the tags#i do truly love this story and the world in which it takes place but it also has flaws and it feels important to recognise those#huge fan so far im on thriller bark in the anime and water 7 in the manga. brook is my favourite straw hat i think

I really need to catch up on op again
#I had like a whole depression where I didn’t read manga for like a year and a half#I’m at the beginning of the kaido fight lmao#but I’m silly so we rereading from the beginning#on thriller bark rn#it’s going much slower than the first few times I read it#it usually takes me like a week#now it’s taking like 5 months#one piece#gotta catch up before the live action#also there’s so many spoilers and I’m doing my best to avoid them but I think the anime has passed me#which sucks#but oh well

I'm gonna try reading again!
Because of my cognitive decline over the past few years I haven't read any books in ages. But I've decided to give it a try again!
I've had this book on my shelf for years now. I remember buying it when it was on the "new releases" shelf of my local book store, right before I stopped being able to focus on reading. It says © 2019 on the back. Just goes to show how long it has been...
I want to get my life back together a bit, so this seems like a good first step. Fingers crossed I can do it!
#the cognitive decline was cause of prolonged stress by the way#caused by decades of masking my autism#we'll have to see if I can read again now#i hope so#also that's my favorite panda plushie in the back#okay actual tags now#reading#the things she's seen#book#books#thriller
