May the days be aimless. Let the seasons drift. Do not advance the action according to plan.

— Don DeLillo; White Noise

June Reads!

A Certain Hunger by Chelsea G. Summers — 4/5: a friend recommended this one to me as kind of a mix between Hannibal and American Psycho with a female protagonist which got me hooked. it definitely delivered on that regarding the plot and food-motif (?). the food descriptions were definitely very beautiful and the protagonist compelling. liked that she was telling her story from prison. only thing was that some of her inner monologue came across a little ‘girl boss-y’ at times which I found corny but maybe that’s just me. I guess you’re allowed to be a bit of a corny #girlboss when you’re literally eating men

The Hauntings of Playing God by Chris Dietzel — 2.75/5: this one was kinda meh? was very excited about the concept (last ‘living’ woman on earth left to care for her patients who’re all suffering from locked-in syndrome (ig?) left to make tough choices) but it just didn’t deliver. it got kinda repetitive towards the middle and could’ve done with some shortening for sure imo. also a little too kitschy in some parts for my taste.

I’m Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy — 5/5: even better than expected! I had high hopes for this one and it didn’t let me down! not only is McCurdy’s story incredible and gripping but she’s also a really talented writer.

White Noise by Don DeLillo — 5/5: read this for the first time last year and suddenly got this intense craving to re-read it; turned out I liked it even better the second time round! this one truly has it all: coming to terms with mortality (and failing badly), portrait of family life and marriage, critique of consumerism and modern life, there’s an airborne toxic event, it’s a great satire overall, yet its so earnest at the same time and treats its characters with such fondness and care; such nice structure of the novel too. would recommend this to everyone

Idol, Burning by Rin Usami — 3.75/5: short and bittersweet! a story of an obsessive fan of a j-pop idol; the way she devotes herself to studying her idol as the rest of her life falls apart around her — really enjoyed the contrast between her absolute focus and dedication to her idol and how she struggles in her regular life, school and work especially due to her (probable) learning disability. some passages really hit home for me

Severance by Ling Ma — 4.5/5: enjoyed this one a lot! liked how the narration went back and forth between the current “zombie” pandemic the protagonist is trying to survive (and the dynamic of her companions) and the years leading up to that point. it felt kind of like a coming-of-age story but in a settling into your adulthood kind of way? I liked that vibe and could definitely relate to it as well. also, always a fan of when stories give me the very beginning stages of apocalypses etc. the writing’s really nice too! def recommend

I thought it was time to go through my TBR shelf on Goodreads again and see what needs to be taken out. The list has grown quite a bit because for June one of my favorite authors was recommending new books every day and I just kept adding more and more to my list. So let’s see if we can take some others off to balance things out!

This was originally created by Lost in a Story and seems like a good way to go through some of my TBR on Goodreads and see what is there and what I can get rid of or push me to start reading.  Links will be  on the titles for the books Goodreads page. (I am going to do ten for this round of this tag).

It works like this:

Go to your goodreads to-read shelf.

Order on ascending date added.

Take the first 5 (or 10 or 15 or 20, if you’re feeling adventurous) books

Read the synopses of the books

Decide: keep it or should it go?

Keep track of where you left off so you can pick up there next time!

Current TBR 261

The Calling (Gateway #1) – Louise G. White I have no idea why this one was added. It sound pretty generic and doesn’t strike me as interesting. Decision: Remove

The Weeping Books of Blimney lane – Drea Damara Again don’t remember adding this one. Sounds alright but again not really striking me as one that is going to end up on my bookshelf anytime soon. Decision: Remove

The Sandman Comics – Neil Gaiman I read the first/prologue of this series and really enjoyed it. I have heard how great it is and I really want to finish it. The issue is the all the books are pretty expensive. I will finish it one day and I am going to keep it on my shelf because of that. I just have to save up for them. Decision: Keep (I have the whole series on my shelf so this goes for all of the series)

It’s a Wonderful Death – Sara J. Schmitt So many books I remember nothing about. I like the idea of this one, reliving past actions, a spunky narrator and a fight between an angel and Death itself. I have no idea when I will get to this one but I definitely keep it around. Decision: Keep

The Great Apocalypse – Daniel Thompson The summary is a ride. It has so much to it, too much. I got lost reading it.  Plus it doesn’t have the highest rating. Decision: Remove

The Sky Drifter – Paris Singer Why in the world would I add this one? I wonder if it was from a Giveaway. It has the most generic summary ever. Decision: Remove

The Theta Prophecy – Chris Dietzel There is time travel and it is dystopian! Some of my favorite things! Decision: Keep

The Art of Being Normal – Lisa Williamson I am torn on this one. I feel like it could be an interesting book dealing with an important topic. But the reviews from transgender reviewers have pointed out problematic elements. I think I need to do more research before I can make  a true decision on this one. Decision- Undecided until more research can be done

Hell’s Gates – Mary Masters I am confused about this one. The summary starts with “I was given this one through a Goodreads giveaway”, not sure why that is on the general summary. Either way it doesn’t hold any interest to me. Decision: Remove

Dream Caster (Dream Cycle #1) – NR Nada It is an alright premise but nothing that is calling out to me. Decision: Remove

Kept: 3 Remove:6 Undecided: 1 Current TBR: 255

I think this is the most books I have removed doing one of these yet. What are your opinions on some the books I kept and removed?

Down the TBR Hole #7 I thought it was time to go through my TBR shelf on Goodreads again and see what needs to be taken out.

Have you read The Theta Prophecy, A Time Travel Dystopian #SciFi by Chris Dietzel

[emmaflynn1-blog]

Above is my Finished book cover that we had to design as another project, for the author Chris Dietzel. I took a photo of outside my house and edited it on gimp as the background of the front cover. I then used a green screen and took a photo of my granny, also editing it on gimp for the front image.

The back cover consisted of part of another nature photo that I took in my hometown. I took out the tree from the photo and placed it onto the back cover before editing the tree to suit my back cover.

[michaeladamsmovementart-blog]

For our next project we had to design a book cover for a book from a series of books by Chris Dietzel. The book I chose was “A Different Alchemy”, a post apocalyptic fiction which tells the story of a man, distraught by the loss of his son, commandeers an army tank and travels from coast to coast, witnessing all sorts of mayhem. 

This is my initial idea for the cover, I thought I’d combine the two most striking images from the description: the tank and the cities in turmoil.

making the cover smaller to fit the format is butchering the quality </3
