#the disreputable history of frankie landau banks

[theannotatedbook]

"She might, in fact, go crazy, as has happened to a lot of people who break rules. Not the people who play at rebellion but really only solidify their already dominant positions in society,but those who take some larger action that disrupts the social order. Who try to push through the doors that are usually closed to them. They do sometimes go crazy, these people, because the world is telling them not to want the things they want. It can seem saner to give up--but then one goes insane from giving up."

Book asks! 1, 3, 5, 12, 30, 33, 47!

1. what is the best book you have ever read?

I think at the moment I have to say Station Eleven by Emily St John Mandel. I read it earlier this year and I am still just in awe of it

3. what is your preferred genre?

FANTASY

5. what book do you think everyone should read?

Grandfather's Journey by Allen Say. it's a picture book so I won't listen to any excuses :)

12. which book will you read next?

I should probably read one of the ones I have had checked out from my local library for 2 months (the faceless old woman who secretly lives in your home, the martian, crying in h-mart) or the ebook I just got on Libby (other birds) or one of several highly-anticipated books I have purchased for myself over the past couple years which I have systematically neglected (seasparrow, a restless truth, venom & vow) etc etc THERE ARE TOO MANY BOOKS

30. is there a book that changed your life?

The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks by E. Lockhart. this is a hard question for me because I think that at the heart of reading is a notion that every single book changes you in some way or another. I picked this one because it was a valuable lens for me as a teenager trying to make sense of how to exist in the world as a girl.

33. what was your favorite childhood book?

oh dear. okay. um. I think I have to make a list

a child's book of art

I went walking by sue williams

a porcupine named fluffy

go dog go by p.d. eastman

the silver chair by c.s. lewis

eloise by kay thompson

mattimeo by brian jacques

47. what book do you feel most connected to?

when I had my wisdom teeth removed, I decided that Bloodlines by Richelle Mead was my close personal friend because it was there for me in a trying time (I was collapsed in bed unable to do anything but think about the pain, and the book was on the pillow next to my head)

book asks!

[so-na-gi]

Trying to decide which book to start out of these three:

The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks by E. Lockhart

Stone Blind by Natalie Haynes

The Perfect Golden Circle by Benjamin Myers

So I picked the last one that being the most improbable one and the one I know the least about (so if I don't like it I can just drop it right away.)

And I kid you not I almost did on page fucking FOUR

Why are men?

Rating: 5/5

Book Blurb: Moxie meets Mary H.K. Choi in this funny, whip-smart YA debut about love, resistance, and the enduring friendships that make it all worthwhile. Seventeen-year-old Olivia Chang is at her fourth school in seven years. Her self-imposed solitude is lonely but safe. At Plainstown High, however, Olivia’s usual plan of anonymity fails when infamous it-girl Mitzi Clarke makes a pointed racist comment in class. Tired of ignoring things just to survive, Olivia defends herself.  And that is the end of her invisible life. Soon, Olivia joins forces with the Nerd Net: a secret society that's been thwarting Mitzi’s reign of terror for months. Together, they plan to unite the masses and create true change at school.But in order to succeed, Olivia must do something even more terrifying than lead a movement: trust other people. She might even make true friends along the way . . . if Mitzi doesn’t destroy her first. A cheeky, thought-provoking force of a book, perfect for fans of E. Lockhart’s The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks.

Review:

A girl finds herself joining a revolution after a confrontation against a popular girl who made a racist comment and with this revolution she’ll find friendship, strength, and even romance. Olivia Chang is seventeen years old and at her fourth school in years. She’s lived in self imposed solitude to stay under the radar and safe away from the harmful bullying and notice of others, but her plan to stay anonymous fails when the ultimate it-girl and popular girl, Mitzi Clarkes makes a pointed racist comment in class and Olivia stands up against her. Olivia is now very noticed and the enemy of the popular girl and her friends... but then suddenly she finds herself being drawn in by a group known as the Nerd Net, a secret society of other students who have been thwarting Mitzi’s reign of terror. Now Olivia isn’t alone and she finally has friends and a support system, and even a crush... but starting a revolution and fixing the social system isn’t easy, and things are always going to get messy. Can Olivia help stop Mitzi before more people are hurt or will Mitzi destroy her first? This was a great story, filled with thought provoking moments and a heart warming story about friendship and finding the strength to stand up against bullying and being supporting of others. I really liked this one and found Olivia’s journey to be a great one to read, she really went from quiet introvert to someone who makes a stand to someone who empathizes and tries to be there and understand the complexity that people have. The romance was sweet but the highlight of this book was the friendship!!

List of Jewish Characters for the Panfandom Hanukkah Bingo

I've gotten a few requests for a list of Jewish characters to help people brainstorm for the bingo -- just as a reminder, Jewish headcanons and fanons are totally allowed for the event, so if you don't KNOW whether your character is Jewish, it's totally fine to make them Jewish for your fanwork! :)

Neglected Positives! If you want some ruthlessly intelligent teen girl YA in your life, as well as a person obsessed with neglected positives, allow me to recommend The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks by E. Lockhart.

existence of the word gormless implies that it is possible to be gormful (word here meaning intelligent or wise) like + follow for more linguistic knowledge

I had a pretty bad day in a pretty bad week, so after teaching a tutorial I resigned to my reading chair with YA dark academia, coffee and peppermint chocolate. After reading We Were Liars by E. Lockhart I had high hopes for The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks, and my hopes were not disappointed! I highly enjoyed it; quotes & a review will follow.
