I binge read (listened to the audiobook) the all for the game trilogy and yes there’s much room for improvement and such and blah blah but I adore the premise and characters and you can pry them from my cold dead hands

I’ve been feeling super discouraged lately.

I’m not exactly sure what the problem is but I’ve felt “less than” as a writer as of late. I took a short break from writing my WIP because I was self editing it to shreds.

I’ve been using this break to catch up on reading. I started out with a few of my fav comfort books but I think I just need to get into something new in order to take a step back from my WIP.

I going to spend my night scrolling. Something new catches my eye

And I would just like to say how thankful I am that I found this community!

I’ll take any recs in the comments if you want to leave one. :) <3

So we're getting prepped for a decently large move, and it's a little scary and a little overwhelming. So I'm over here letting the tiny librarian in my brain come up with some relevant and comforting stuff, and for some reason she's going with variations on the theme of "My ancestors had it so bad they literally got on a boat with no money and no plan because whatever the hell was on the other side of the ocean has to be better than this." (Yes, we're so Irish it hurts a little.)

So what has my inner librarian kicked up? She started with probably the first books on immigration I ever independently picked up and read:

I, like many tiny humans, picked up AVI for the first time in elementary school My first AVI book was actually Midnight Magic, but one of my elementary school libraries (I went to three elementary schools) had Beyond the Western Sea and Lord Kirkle's Money, and I checked them out multiple times in the two years I was at that school. I am very much lucky enough to not be getting on a boat at 15 with my 12-year-old little brother and while on that boat, I functionally become a single mother of three and then have to work in a sweatshop in America. While also being pursued by an older man with a Shakespeare obsession who I then have VERY conflicted feelings about when he died because our tenement burns to the ground. My move is NOT gonna be that bad. On any level. And having that perspective and that extra life under my belt is super helpful. I kind of wish my copies of these books weren't in my Dad's basement, but they are...so memories and vibes are holding me through for this one.

My inner librarian also thought I might like something that I could actually pick up off my shelf and read, because that's always a helpful thing. So in the theme of "Irish immigrants," we went a little fantasy with it with this next pick:

A little romance, a little immigrant trauma, and a very happy ending with a cute grumpy prince is what A Fragile Enchantment gets me, and I actually do HAVE this book on my shelf. And unlike Niamh, I am not leaving my grandmother pissed off at me because of complicated reasons related to abuse at the hands of a colonizing power. I share the chronic illness and trying to succeed in a new job, but Niamh did it, so we're rolling with I can too.

This was about the point where my inner librarian decided to get even theme-y-er with it and suggested a soundtrack for this mood and these books:

Because yeah. Moving is scary and overwhelming, but it is also eminently doable and I am not fifteen years. So we're gonna let the books buoy us up and we're gonna do this.

'It's my comfort book'

And it's a two-part novel by a Ukrainian-Russian author duo about the struggles of being gay in the late USSR and Post-Soviet countries that tackles the topics of mental health and conversion therapy and it also makes you hate everything and freaking bawl your eyes out every time you hear that one particular song that is mentioned there and is also banned in your country
