the way the author writes about war is so stressful. it's brilliant. i could feel the tension weaved through marie-laure's pov, as if i was there with them. a blind girl gives such a specific perspective, i think. if marie-laure could see, i think the tone would be very different, but her only being able to hear and feel the tension makes it even more debilitating somehow.

Hello everyone!! Summer is just around the corner (at least it is in the northern hemisphere), and with that I had the thought of building a little summer reading list!

The categories are as follows: 🧐 A nonfiction on a new topic you’re interested in 🤿 A nonfiction on a topic you want to dive deeper in 🕯️ A classic (bonus points if it’s not a well-known classic) ⭐️ A fiction from a new-to-you author 🫶🏼 A fiction from an indie author (because I feel like there are so many indie gems passed over)

Add yours in the comments! They can be suggestions for others (ie. books you like that fit these) OR your own little summer reading list!

Happy new month my fellow Boundlings! I hope that April was kind to you and that May will be much kinder. What are everyone's plans and goals for the month,book related or not? As for me, I want to finish my Austen marathon this month and then maybe reread some books I read in primary and high school or pick up some mystery books as a self proclaimed mystery fan😂. The last time I read mystery was a while ago which was Hardy boys then before that was Nancy Drew and or Famous five.

Anyways,let me know what your plans and goals are for the month! I would love to see what you guys are up to and what you guys plan to do☺️!

hi, guys! today i come to you with a request for a very specific sort of book rec: "pathetic wet blorbo going through the Horrors covered in blood and dirt, but the blorbo is a woman"

this comes from a discussion i've been having on my tumblr about how there's so little content/media about women being the chew toys experiencing horrors (and being a little hot about it). a lot of the times, in fandom and in canonical medias, this archetype falls to the men. i understand why - simply writing women as they are requires more work than writing men, but writing women going Through It requires even more work than just throwing a dude into a battlefield unprepared. it is a kind of difficulty that most creators don't want to contend with.

as a certified women lover, however, i like seeing a woman be covered in blood and be pathetic about it. so if you've got any book recs that fit this trope, send them my way. thank you in advance 💞

(an important rule: we can't have girlboss moments. no gaslight gatekeep girlboss, sorry)
