Jan-Feb Reading Challenge: Update
Today at work, I read a few books on my bingo sheet. I...might get done with this challenge well before February ends.
The Leftover Woman | Jean Kwok
This book was full of twists and turns and physically pained me at points. It absolutely fucked me up and I was crying by the end, so I was lucky that no one came into work while I was reading it.
8/10
The Midnight Library | Matt Haig
This did NOT help with the crying! This book also fucked me up! It's absolutely wild from the get-go. Content warning for animal death early on, though, because that did not help my anxious ass.
7/10
Practical Gods | Carl Dennis
I'm gonna have to get my own copy of this, because it's such a lovely collection of poems and really gets into the crossing of religious belief with modern problems. How does it do this as a book of poetry? I'm not sure! But it did! Definitely worth the multiple prizes it has won.
9/10

“Reading Was My First Addiction” (October Roundup)
*not pictured - a reread of HP book 1.
“Hope is a fickle dangerous thing. It steals your focus and aims it toward the possibilities instead of keeping it where belongs--on the probabilities.” — Xaden Riorson, Fourth Wing
���In China, I'd seen posters warning girls of the danger of becoming leftover women, women that no one wanted. Leftover like scraps on a table, uneaten food, both a sacrilege and wasteful, something that should have nourished our country squandered and turned into rubbish; unwanted, purposeless, of no use to anyone.” — Jasmyne, The Leftover Woman
“The truth is I’ve only ever had one addiction. The white whale of addictions: escape.” — Lara Love Hardin, The Many Lives of Mama Love

9 October 2023 Book Releases You Need To Read
I know this post is weeks late, but nevertheless I wanted to give all of the October book releases the attention they deserve. There’s so many incredible books coming out and it wouldn’t be right if I didn’t take the time to scream about them! For the most part, all of the books on the list are contemporary fiction, although there are a couple of thrillers mixed in there for your enjoyment. As…

#i am bringing a lot of energy to this 3 am. in a good way? well. who could know#my vision is. like greasy nasty hair from the heat. she is frizzing she is oily#but she has a backwards baseball cap on and importantly she is wearing the buc-ee's merchandise#she has bangles.she is wearing those chunky expensive bracelets#she is not wearing a shirt. only the lacy bra#and for shoes i am thinking those rich white woman sandals you know the ones#she has a huge purse and she has her leftover fried chicken in the box in there

i’ve said this a million times before but truly no matter how crazy you think the crazy woman from your tv show is. she can never be nora durst.
#no one can outdo nora’s levels of instability.#nora durst is a once in a lifetime character. they could never write her again. the planets will never align.#kim roofied (accidentally killed) her boss and marisa experimented on and (purposefully) killed children and yet.#i’m not making the argument for asoiaf characters because game of thrones wasn’t real and can’t hurt me#(although logically this means i shouldn’t really have included marisa but. hbo marisa had so much monkey in her. she was crazier. AND YET.#trying to think of other mentally ill fictional characters i love.#none of them can compete!!!!!#gilded age nation hear my cry: no matter how bonkers you think bertha is… she’s rather tame!!!!#woman who sold her daughter for an opera house has nothing on nora cursed !!!!!!!!#sorry for yapping i just. nora. character of all time.#ace.txt#the leftovers#nora durst

I constantly feel like I gotta constantly reiterate my lore for my goobers every new post because Water Wife is just that much of a freak. :/
"Wait, why does Penelope have sharp teeth-" Because she's hot? Because she's full of whimsy? Because she's 3/4th Naiad? Because she's a menace?
#I love having so much lore for her but having to re-explain every time? eugh#I love talking about her. don't get me wrong but gosh I have so much for her.#like even a simple. “Odysseus is a bit of a picky eater and Penelope being able to eat raw fish usually eats his leftovers.”#like? if you don't know about my freaky lil lady. this will sound insane.#I would fucking LOVE to go up to some serious classicist who lacks joy and whimsy and just go#“Hey...Penelope of Ithaca is a sopping wet Water Woman with a toad in her pocket and who can eat raw fish.”#(yeah I know it's just my writing but you know)#I have a pressure headache that's a bitch right now. I'm getting silly#penelope of ithaca#penelope#Water Wife#Mad rambles#shot by odysseus#my headcanons
