[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!!

The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks is more feminist than any "greek myth reimagining"

The Disreputable History Of Frankie Landau-Banks - E. Lockhart

Matthew: Can I kiss you? Frankie: No way. Matthew: You're being mean to me. Frankie: Okay, I changed my mind.

[bisonomy]

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

[hellyeahcampusnovels]

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.

My Worst Books of 2021

Now for some of the most fun posts of the year, here are the 5 worst books that I read in 2021 out of 27. Of course I have to put a disclaimer that just because I disliked these books, doesn’t mean that you won’t like or even them. The pieces and ideas that I don’t like could be what you love in a book, so keep an open mind with me. From worst to better, here is my list.

1. Marked by P.C. and Kristin Cast | Goodreads

There are very few words to describe how terribly I feel about this book. It is so deeply engraved in its roots of being published in 2007 in all of the worst ways. The language used in this tries so hard to be apart of the teenage lingo at the time that, despite me being only 6 at the time, I’m sure overshot the mark. The plot could be so interesting but nothing is explained and it moves so quickly that so many details are skipped over and rushed that you can’t enjoy it. I might have enjoyed this in seventh grade when I first got it, but definitely not now.

2. The Wife Upstairs by Rachel Hawkins | Goodreads

This book was... bad for many reasons. I was expecting a crazy unfolding thriller but I got nothing more than bland, slow paced mystery. I mostly disliked the characters though, especially our main ones which made it so hard to read. The only reason I stayed was to see if the author could make up a decent solution, and I didn’t get one. Don’t forget the obsession with being rich and white and the blatant fatphobia.

3. Me Before You (reread) by Jojo Moyes | Goodreads

This was a reread for me that completely missed the original mark for me. Louisa was an insufferable main character, it was crazy that she did not think about anyone except for herself. Especially in a story about someone who is disabled and uses a wheelchair, that’s quite disturbing to read how selfish someone is around them. The banter was kitschy and cute and I enjoyed when Will and Louisa were being healthy towards each other. Other than that, it just seemed like a pity ride for a thirty year old girl who isn’t taking responsibility for anything even slightly negative in her life.

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

I would be lying if I said this book wasn’t fun but it wasn’t... fulfilling. I was expecting big antics around everything that was going on but some of the solutions just fell flat. Especially the ending, I wanted so much more and something more happy! It seemed like a more positive, happy go lucky private school story that seemed like all consequence and no reward. I didn’t hate it by any means, I just wanted more.

5. Stitching Snow by R.C. Lewis | Goodreads

This was just another boring book. I expected more from the retelling but it didn’t live up to the adventure that I wanted from a sci-fi princess fighting against her evil father story. There were so many peaks in the story were it could have taken off and been action and strategy packed plot, but it always fell back to calmness pretty quickly. I will say though that the fighting scenes are so beautifully under control and that the relationship and care that blossoms between Esie and our love interest (who’s name I don’t remember...) is beautiful. Out of all of these books, I’d want you to check this one out first if you want to give them a chance.
