[skamfairy]

i saw your minş rant şn the tags of that post about wutherşng heights! can you rec us some books because you have taste in shows and i would love to hear about your taste in books!

Ahhhh thank you for asking angel 💖okay !! I’m sorry I ended up talking a lot about these books because I don’t think I talk about my fave books much and thinking about them made me get super emotional about my love for some of them so EEEE okay  

The sky is everywhere and I’ll give you the sun both by jandy Nelson - AHHHHHHHH I LOVE THESE BOOKS oh my god. The sky is everywhere had a huge impact on me because it taught me something extremely profound and important about grief and loss that I really needed at the time and it’s stuck with me since. I still remember what it taught me and just for that it’s special to me. It really is. It also had this emotionally raw and honest thing about it by including short poems and sentences written by the character that  aren't like fake deep or anything they feel real and raw and something that a teenager struggling with grief would write and I really love that.

 I’ll give you the sun is absolutely brilliant. I think I like the characters a lot better. We get two povs and they tell two different parts of the story and it’s really cool. But most importantly this book makes you feel everything and I mean everything. Pain, love, joy, loss, the beauty of art??? Seriously I wish everyone read this book. There’s again something very raw and honest about the characters and their emotions but the writing is also so god damn poetic. AHHHHH I love this book. I recommend reading I'll give you the sun first because I think it's my fave out of these two but I love both. But like please read I'll give you the sun please PLEASE God I want people to read it no one talks about it and they should.

 If we were villains by M. L. Rio - this is the only book I’ve managed to read this year! Lmao (don’t worry I’ve read a lot of hp fan fiction tho) my friend Allie sent this to me and I loved it a lot!! I was really surprised by this book it made me feel things and I loved the characters. If you don’t mind something pretentious (but like it knows it ya know?) with lots of Shakespeare !!!!! Ahhhhhh !!! Then you’ll love it 

Just one day and the sequel just one year by Gayle Forman - Okay this is a romance that I remember really enjoying because it kinda ends up focusing on the main character than the romance itself and we watch her grow and develop and discover her place in the world and idk it’s been a while since I read it but I remember really connecting with it for some reason. And we get to see different countries which is cool. I think I have an idea on why I like it so much but I don’t want to spoil rhejskwjjez. But yeah this is really nice if you want a romance!!  

Jessica by Bryce Courtenay - okay huge content warning- not at all a happy book. If you want happy move along sjekekekee if you want a book that makes you feel and I mean truly TRULY feel to the point where your heart is pretty much being stepped on by this book then READ THIS. Okay I'm not selling it very well. It's painful but oh my god this book is so beautifully written, the characters are powerful and so fucking heartbreaking. I know it sounds dramatic but I swear this book changed me. I read it really young and I have a terrible memory but I still remember every single thing that happens in this novel and how it made me feel. It really showcases the lengths people will go to to reach their goals, destroying anything and anyone in their path and the heartbreaking brutality of human nature. I have a thing for characters and stories that focus on the things that drive humans to break and resort to a form of human nature that is scary and confusing and heart wrenching, merging love and hate into this strange thing that makes you struggle to understand but can’t look away. Ah man I’m sorry I have so many feelings about this book and I feel like I’ve never talked about it to anyone much because no one I know has read it sjssjwkwkwkw. So yeah this is only for those who are up for tragedy. It’s also set in rural Australia during WW1 

Saving Francesca and Looking for Alibrandi both by Melina Marchetta - honestly I recommend anything written by melina. There's something about the way she writes that really stabs you in the heart and makes you feel and experience everything the characters are feeling and going through so strongly. Idk if it's just me but I find myself really connecting and relating to the characters to the point where I find myself overwhelmed with the pain that comes from hearing how they think and feel about themselves. Ah man. My fave is defs saving Francesca but these are both real good and a bonus is that there is a movie adaptation of Looking for Alibrandi starring Aussie legend Pia Miranda and its iconic.

Finding Cassie crazy by Jaclyn Moriarty (it’s called the year of secret assignments outside of australia I think)  - this is the book that made me fall in love with reading when I was younger. If you love friendships, great characters and books made up entirely of letters and journal entries and stuff then you should like this!!!

I’m starting to realise I never talk about my fave books to people. At least not much. Or recommend them, it’s weird but my love for some of these books feels so personal and close to my soul and I feel really vulnerable sharing that with people because if they hate it then they hate a part of me and it’s so dumb Shsjsjsjsnnw but somehow I feel that way??? Do you guys feel like that with some stuff? Is it just me? Is it silly? Like idk I feel so deeply and a huge part of me feels incredibly connected to these books I’m so intense I’m sorry shsjsjsjs

Anyway I hope something here sounds good to you !! if not I’m sorry. I really like books that make me feel and connect and that’s kinda what’s here shajakak.
