a glimpse into my psyche as a child

[superfastjellyfishsandwitch]

It’s August so I’m revisiting some of the middle grade books I love here’s a list of the ones that I still think about

-Percy Jackson

Because duh I loved Greek mythology even before reading this so I was always going to like it

- literally any Carl Hiaasen book

Chomped is my favorite they are filled with cool animal facts with a focus on preserving nature-mostly take place in Florida

-sisters grim

Twisted fairy tales in a modern setting the main character is very not like other girls but she can’t really help that she was written by a man

- doll bones by holly black (yes the fairy lady)

Cute coming of age book with a hunted china doll, I’ve always loved the old china dolls so it was nice to have a book about a non evil one

- the iron trial (I literally can never spell the name of the series) also by holly black and someone else???

I loved the main character it’s like harry potter meets avatar but it’s less homophobic and has more representation ( I still think the main character is gay)

Doll Bones by Holly Black

Summary:

Zach, Poppy, and Alice have been friends forever. And for almost as long, they’ve been playing one continuous, ever-changing game of pirates and thieves, mermaids and warriors. Ruling over all is the Great Queen, a bone-china doll cursing those who displease her.

But they are in middle school now. Zach’s father pushes him to give up make-believe, and Zach quits the game. Their friendship might be over, until Poppy declares she’s been having dreams about the Queen—and the ghost of a girl who will not rest until the bone-china doll is buried in her empty grave.

Zach and Alice and Poppy set off on one last adventure to lay the Queen’s ghost to rest. But nothing goes according to plan, and as their adventure turns into an epic journey, creepy things begin to happen. Is the doll just a doll or something more sinister? And if there really is a ghost, will it let them go now that it has them in its clutches?

Genre: Horror

Book Type: Novel

Because polls get the most engagement I’m making a poll lol

(For the sake of this poll: a collector is anyone who *currently has* a collection of things either physically or digitally that they intentionally acquired which can be grouped together)

Please please please please pleeeeeeeaaaaaaase tell me what you collect and optionally why!!!! (This is doubly true if your collection is related to a regulatory/“special” interest!!!!!!! That’s honestly the only reason I’m making this poll, I am begging youuuuuuuuuuu

Neurodivergent related tags are for reach as I know a lot of neurodiverse people are collectors. I do try my best not to clutter those tags, if anyone has an issue with it please tell me and I’ll remove them

Ok, I might just be going crazy.

Is Travis Baldree and Nick Podehl the same person?? (aka working under pseuds)

Because I just finished listening to Legends and Lattes, written and narrates by Travis.

And now I’m listening to Doll Bones (written by Holly Black), narrated by Nick, and I swear the girls channel Tandri.

Searches online have mostly brought up Reddit posts about people enjoying audiobooks and listing them both as narrators.

Am I hearing things? Are they just both influenced by each other’s style, allowing more awesomeness to be produced for our consumption???

Or is it one amazingly talented block using two professional names, despite having similar portfolios for voice work????
