She liked being reminded of butterflies. She remembered being six or seven and crying over the fates of the butterflies in her yard after learning that they lived for only a few days. Her mother had comforted her and told her not to be sad for the butterflies, that just because their lives were short didn't mean they were tragic. Watching them flying in the warm sun among the daisies in their garden, her mother had said to her, see, they have a beautiful life. Alice liked remembering that.

My yesterdays are disappearing, and my tomorrows are uncertain, so what do I live for? I live for each day. I live in the moment. Some tomorrow soon, I'll forget that I stood before you and gave this speech. But just because I'll forget it some tomorrow doesn't mean that I didn't live every second of it today. I will forget today, but that doesn't mean that today didn't matter.

Lisa Genova – Hatırla! (2024)

Lisa Genova’dan nasıl hatırladığımıza, neden unuttuğumuza ve anılarımızı muhafaza etmek için neler yapabileceğimize yönelik büyüleyici bir inceleme. Hiç geçen hafta izlediğiniz filmdeki aktörün ismini hatırlayamayınca panik oldunuz mu? Peki ya odaya ne yapmak için girdiğinizi hatırlayamadığınızda? Eğer kırklı yaşlarınızdaysanız, muhtemelen bu ufak şeyler sizi güldürmek yerine tedirgin…

Para sempre Alice...

Um livro para não esquecer...

Sentei-me aqui para escrever a respeito do livro-lido durante a noite e me perdi da realidade… Na ponta dos dedos e nos lábios uma quietude de palavras. Uma confusão de sentimentos na superfície da pele que resultaram em frases prontas, tatuadas nas paredes dessa masmorra que sou… Recordei o homem da minha infância… a quem eu dava as mãos para caminhar pelas ruas do lugar onde cresci. Íamos os���

Now Watching Still Alice!

Brilliant but sad film. Julianne Moore gives an absolutely fantastic performance. Read the book first though, it really makes a lot of stuff in the movie make more sense.

Prompt: Warm Soup + Left Behind

Fandom: The Old Guard (movie)

Summary: It's weird, the first death after they've become friends. It hurts. They know it's temporary, but the grief is there, and the fear that this time may be the last one. It's enough to make them worry about how much it will hurt, when one of them goes for real.

Dude TME is making me INSANEE I’ve never seen Hannibal (i know I need to but my brain will do anything but something productive) so I basically have no expectations for the plot which I think makes it better. i don’t read fanfiction much but you’re so good at writing I literally want to eat everything you publish. Also I had a question about what authors you like just generally? Everything you do is so well written your influences must be brilliant.

im glad its making us BOTH insane bc SAME! also thank you for reading and wishing to devour my work i feel so delighted by this.

i'll give you some of my fav authors and their works ive read, * on ones i really love/have likely influenced me the most:

jeanette winterson (***written on the body, oranges are not the only fruit), jeanette walls (*the glass castle, the silver star), jeff vandermeer (*annihilation - it's the first of a trilogy but ive only read annihilation), gillian flynn (***sharp objects, gone girl, dark places), naomi alderman (disobedience), & mary roach (stiff: the curious case of human cadavers).

Lots of things I'd been looking forward to reading came out in May so it was a decent reading month. I got back on my KU bullshit early in the month thanks to a three months free offer and promptly struggled/vague blogged my way through The Home Smirker Wrecker. This was one I was looking forward to for the messy polyamory and it was not a good time due to writing/editing issues.

Highlights of the month were Love, Lies, and Cherry Pie, the Starlight's Shadow series, Happy Medium, and Ruling Sikthand. In order to finish Beneath the Trees, I had to go support my local comic shop by buying numbers 4 and 6 because Hoopla finally updated but only with #5. The Home Wrecker was KU and everything else was from either Hoopla or Libby.

Annie Bot - Sierra Greer

The Angel of Indian Lake (The Indian Lake Trilogy #3) - Stephen Graham Jones* **

Love, Lies, and Cherry Pie - Jackie Lau* **

Hunt the Stars (Starlight's Shadow #1) - Jessie Mihalik

Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees #4, 5, 6 - Patrick Horvath

Eclipse the Moon (Starlight's Shadow #2) - Jessie Mihalik

Happy Medium - Sarah Adler

Remember: The Science of Memory and the Art of Forgetting - Lisa Genova

Ruling Sikthand (Clecanian #7) - Victoria Aveline

The Home Wrecker (The Goode Brothers #2) - Sara Cate

The Hunger and the Dusk #6 - G. Willow Wilson

Do you have certain favourite writers

I have read and enjoyed a bunch of books by Ken Follett, Lisa Genova, Jennifer Weiner, Angie Thomas, Erlend Loe and Julie Clausen, to mention a couple specific authors. But I love so many different books that this list is a very lackluster summary of my reading habits
