As soon as I finish reading 1Q84 I’m going to ignore all the other books I have borrowed and binge-read the cruel prince
#no one can stop me#hahahahaahah#the cruel prince#I’m coming for youuuuuu#like 1q84 is okay#I get the hype#but not on my list of favorite books#I get why some people like and don’t like#haruki murakami#rladpeps literature

Made a faintly insane list of of every animated movie I have good enough memories of to feel confident ranking, although some of them I would probably move around if I saw them more recently....
#Apparently “It's Such a Beautiful Day” is my favorite American Animated Movie which is not something i REALIZED before I made this...#movies i haven't seen since i was a little kid aren't on here which excludes a lot of Disney Classics. I have seen more animovies than this#i made up the word animovies to fit that sentence in that tag#also i watched all of the nge reboot movies but it was several years ago and I genuinely do not remember anything that happened in them#i remember not liking them compared to the tone of the series or original movie or thinking they contributed much#despite ostensibly fleshing out the world more#the lower you go on this list the more deranged it looks#i am not actually a big Pixar stan or anything. i do feel like this list makes LUCA being my highest ranked Pixar movie make sense tho..#like. contextualizes that choice by laying bare my Proclivities#i have not watched as much complete and utter dogshit slop as Emily#i DID make her watch Igor (2008) tho it was like... not actually terrible but i went in with my expectations on the ground#i made this list when we were watching strange world and strange world didn't end up on this list on account of me not actually paying#enough attention on account of the deep thought i was putting into this instead#texting#off topic#I have not been having an easy time doing creative things so you get movie and book opinions#i feel vaguely apologetic for some of the choices in this. but not really. It's ranked 100% by how much i enjoyed it there is no pretense o#objectivity

low-star goodreads reviews of Harrow the Ninth are so funny. some people genuinely only read the book once and it shows
#sorry you guys can’t handle books written in unconventional ways#sorry you guys don’t have hours of every day dedicated to being insane about harrow the ninth#sorry the line ‘my bones will rest easy next to your bones’ doesn’t bounce around in your head like a screensaver#i should stop here bc i don’t have enough time to list off everything i love about that book#some people can’t have fun ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#what do you think the goodreads reviewers would do to me if i told them harrow the ninth was my favorite tlt book#vin speaks#the locked tomb#tlt#tamsyn muir#harrow the ninth#htn#gideon the ninth#nona the ninth

your favorite of my favorites: A Book Poll
okay, i have now officially seen Just Enough open tags to override my vampiric need to be explicitly invited into things, so! here are my (current) Five Favorite Books for y'all to vote on, in order of Publication Date (and incidentally the order in which i read them)
shout out to @e-b-reads and @beardedbookdragon for the recent open tags! i am inflicting this on paying this forward to @asexualbookbird and @alloreli (who i warned), and to @sixofravens-reads (who i did not).
#poll#book polls#favorite books#animorphs#ka applegate#ve schwab#vicious#this is how you lose the time war#Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone#network effect#martha wells#murderbot#leech#hiron ennes#dear ezloved and lizloved: >:D#dear steph: don't feel obligated lol#ABOUT THE BOOKS:#this was the second (2nd) animorphs book i ever read because they had it and no.2 at the used book store on LBI in NJ#but gosh it's just. so funny. and so memorable.#i love them all but this hit a bunch of buttons and i think most fondly of it#VICIOUS WRECKED ME I LOVE IT IT'S A PERFECT BOOK#(vengeful DNI but vicious is just. masterfully executed. holds up so well on a reread)#gosh what a great weaving of timelines and threading of backstory and history#10/10 no notes (except all the notes i took on dissecting the book itself)#gonna be real i'm surprised TIME WAR made the list but. i've reread it a shocking number of times too. AND it's one of the only books in--#--recent memory that licherally Inspired Me To Write My Own Book (affectionate). so on the list it goes#NETWORK EFFECT FUCKS ME UP EVERY TIME ALSO PERFECT AND I LOVE IT AND SO MANY HEART CRIMES#i've stayed up past my bedtime not just reading it for the first time but. rereading it the first AND second times after that. bot and ART<#and then leech wormed into my brain (ahahaha) and i'm SO excited to reread it#it does a ton of cool shit with POV and agency and gothic horror and it's horrifying and fucked up and i love it

They're equals. They're opposites. They're each other's perfect dark mirror. They could not be more different. They would kill each other in a heartbeat. They have saved each other more times than they can count. They are uniquely capable of understanding one another. They don't understand a single thing the other does. They wouldn't trust the other to hold a butter knife. They wouldn't trust anybody else from each other's side at their back. They're brothers. They're mortal enemies. In another life they would have been best friends. They both know it. They both would fucking lose it if they had to think about it for more than a fleeting glance. Their allies think they both have fucking lost it when they see how these two act when within 20 feet of each other.
#sga#stargate#john sheppard#todd the wraith#im so normal about them#my favorite contradiction shitheads#i could probably list this stuff for hours man#i just ahhhhh#the fact that in wraith they have the same name#i've never read nor do i plan to read the books but man whoever came up with that one deserves a prize#god tier shit
