everything you ever wanted mimideath - the con

[healerqueen]

Two nights ago, I finished my reread of A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett. We are reading it for book club this month, and I wasn't sure if I wanted to read it right now, but I'm so glad I did. It was my favorite book when I was 12, and I was obsessed. It shaped me and influenced me deeply. I wanted to grow up to be like Sara, and I think I have. I have suffered patiently and quietly, and I've remained kind and grown a lot under testing. It was a really magical reading experience this time, which I wasn't expecting. Honestly, it is every time. I still count it as one of my favorite books.

Don't worry, I've got some royally good YA book recs for your favourite characters from YOUNG ROYALS that you can add to your TBR to fill the space we're all missing after watching this fantastic series."

(alt text: in the background is the Disability Pride Flag, in front of that is the book covers of: Out on a Limb; The Luis Ortega Survival Club, True Biz, Blackwater, The Spirit Bares Its Teeth, and The Heart Principal)

It's Disability Pride Month! Here are just a few books I really liked that would be fitting to read this month :)

Out on a Limb by Hannah Bonam-Young - a contemporary romance where a one night stand leads to a pregnancy they decide to navigate together (and both love interests have limb differences)

The Luis Ortega Survival Club by Sonora Reyes - a ya novel about a largely non-speaking autistic teen who's raped by a boy she thought was her friend, who grows a community of people who help one another along a path of revenge and healing

True Biz by Sara Nović - a book about several students and an administrator at River Valley School for the Deaf navigating changes in their lives and their sense of community, and fighting for their autonomy.

Blackwater by Jeannette Arroyo and Ren Graham a YA graphic novel about a badboy teen jock, a quiet boy with an autoimmune disorder, and the spooky things that live in their town. Werewolves and cute romance included.

The Spirit Bares Its Teeth by Andrew Joseph White - a YA historical fiction horror which takes place in an alternate 1883 London where violet-eyed mediums (men) commune with spirits under the watchful eye of the Royal Speaker Society. When a trans autistic boy is diagnosed with Veil sickness, a mysterious disease sending violet-eyed women into madness, he's shipped away to Braxton’s Sanitorium and Finishing School, where the ghosts of missing students beg for his help. even tho it's ya, it is horror and the themes are very heavy- check out trigger warnings.

The Heart Principle by Helen Hoang is about Anna, who is facing career burnout in a flakey relationship, embracing an open relationship at her longtime boyfriend's suggestion. Instead of the string of one night stands she planned on, she finds someone who accepts her and helps her understand herself. Their relationship is derailed when a family emergency puts even more weight on Anna's shoulders until she finally has to care for herself. This is a contemporary romance, but the subject matter is pretty heavy and the protagonist experiences a prolonged period of autistic burnout

🎄 BOOK REVIEW 🎄

The Nightmare Before Kissmas by Sara Raasch

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

[instagram]

This book was SUCH a fun, wonderful, emotional read. This is absolutely 100% Nightmare Before Christmas meets Red, White & Royal Blue. Definitely more of the latter. And I adored it.

Coal is such a heart-wrenchingly wonderful main character. He’s flawed and needs a hug (and therapy) and he’s definitely a little selfish, but he has such a big heart and so much compassion and he just wants to bring joy to the world and everyone around him and I loved him so, so much.

I kind of wish this had been dual POV because I would have loved to get inside Hex’s head. He’s such a fascinating, lovely, multi-layered love interest and I couldn’t help falling in love with him right alongside Coal.

I adored both Iris and Kris, too. They’re such vibrant side characters, fully fleshed out in their own right. The dynamic these characters all had with each other was incredible and I want in on this friend group.

The whole political plot with Coal’s dad and the other holidays was genuinely fascinating to me and I loved watching it play out, especially when it gave certain minor characters a chance to shine.

Overall I really can’t recommend this one enough.

I felt deeply the grief in this book. I felt less alone after reading it. —Eduardo C. Corral

this is genuinely such a beautiful collection and i can’t wait for everyone to get a chance to read it and see the world through the lens of sara’s eyes and language. she writes with so much clarity and intention, and is able to dissect experience & put language to it in such a precise and devastating way. when i feel like something is too immense for language, i turn to her. she breaks me open with her words over and over again, and without fail is a hand always guiding me out, always pulling me back to shore. i am endlessly lucky to love her and endlessly excited to celebrate the publication of her first poetry book, the blue mimes 💗💞

you can follow her on ig for more updates on when this is going to be published and where you can order it, to read more of her poetry and to see her work as a multidisciplinary artist <333

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation | Jorja Fox as Sara Sidle

"Her understated portrayal of constant wounded warranted rage was so visceral. She was a consistent CSI that always did her job even when it was soul-destroying: she woke up and went to fight her demons everyday. This grit and fortitude brought out a reaction from everyone in the audience. No other character has as much emotion, love or hate, as Sara.

We see her righteous outrage at the world she must endure, and we either see ourselves or we reject her. It is polarizing. What a brilliant work of acting." -u/plotthick

Song is Muddy Waters by LP.
