#okay i am speaking too much HSJADHJSA I JUST LOVE READING OKAY

[cinnaminsvga]

wait i started reading again this year too! i started reading old books i have like why did i ever stop?!! like i don't think people understand the pure peace and joy (even when i'm crying) that i get reading. i love books that can make me feel too but i only read fiction though. and when i read it plays like a movie.

got any recommendations? i will read a lot of different genres👀

yeah it’s been a real blast reading again!! like ofc i’ve been reading fanfics over the years but theres something so nice about holding a paperback and smelling the pages 🥴

i’ve only read a few books recently so far, so i’ll just list down the ones i enjoyed!

she who became the sun - this is what i’m currently reading and so far i am OBSESSED,,, if you’re a fan of historical drama shows, i think this is a great read. it’s kinda got mulan-esque vibes (but make it queer lol) and it’s just?? so beautifully written and i am absolutely devouring it rn!! highly recommend!!

circe - okay so i read a song of achilles a long time ago (and loved it bc i’ve always been a sucker for greek myth retellings) so idk why it took me so long to read this but MY GOD... THE WAY I??? FELT SO SEEN??? WHILE READING THIS??? the way miller reimagines circe as this outcast who turns into a powerful witch is SO GOOD... i finished the entire thing in one sitting if that says anything about how much i enjoyed it lol (and yes i cried at the ending bc i was so happy for her—again bc i was projecting HAHHAHAH)

the last hour series - okay like i know cassandra clare is kinda milking this entire shadowhunters series dry but i have to mention this series bc 1) THE INFERNAL DEVICES IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE YA SERIES OF ALL TIME so ofc a series about their children is going to grab me by the tit and 2) THERE’S A GHOST BOY IN THIS AND I AM DOWN BAD FOR HIM okay that’s all i just really love jesse blackthorn bye

shadow and bone trilogy - okay so the six of crows duology is literally one of my favorite series of all time (yes i know i just said that about tid but i am literally bisexual—you can’t make me choose) so idk why it took me so long to get around to reading bardugo’s other series and tbh it’s just as good!! i’m only about halfway thru the first book rn (im switching between this and she who became the sun lol) and usually it takes me a while to get really into fantasy books bc worldbuilding takes forever to understand for my puny brain, but yeah it’s great!! i’m thinking of watching the netflix series right after :D

and here’s a list of other books that i am going to read next:

the seven husbands of evelyn hugo (my two best friends have read this and both have been raving about it for weeks now so i’m really excited to get to this)

crying in hmart (FOAMING AT THE MOUTH WHY DO I FEEL LIKE THIS BOOK IS GONNA DESTROY ME LOL)

the invisible life of addie larue (i got mixed reviews from friends who have read this so idk if i’m gonna end up buying it lol but idk the premise sounds interesting but i’m scared of getting disappointed sigh)
