    "Aristotle says in the Poetics, that objects such as corpses, painful to view in themselves, can become delightful to contemplate in a work of art."

    I feel this is partly why so many love to read action books or watch men's hockey (the fights). Would they like to participate in real life? Probably not, but it's different when it's not you personally doing it.

  • Booktube recs that don't make booktok vids

    By that what I mean is having their main type of videos be about booktok drama, hot takes, drama again, "booktok lied to me" etc

    I find those type of videos annoying and overdone so if anyone has recs for booktube channels that don't really dwell into drama like that I'd appreciate it

  • Favourite Children’s Books

    What are your favourite children’s books and why? I’d love to hear as much detail as you can. I’m a supply teacher and I’m always looking for recommendations to have on hand. Sometimes if I can’t get the book in person I’ll try to find a readaloud on YouTube. I’m so passionate about them and believe they’re really beneficial for teens and adults too! Thank you :)

  • What book/book series is your ride or die?

    Ok, so you know that book series that you read and fell instantly in love; where you are so immersed with the world and their characters that they feel so real you ; where a character(s) is your book boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse; and you just generally die happy from shock every time it's brought up (or a slightly less exaggerated form of this feeling)?

    Yeah, I don't have that.

    sniffles then sobs

    But I believe it's finally the time to find my own favourite book series! So feel free to drop recommendations or your own favourites. I really don't any preference, so it could be romance, fantasy, adventure, action/crime, e.t.c e.tc...

    EDIT: omg, just a few minutes after making this post and already have so many replies. Thank you all! I have made a list of series mentioned and will try and get through it all. Don't be shy to add more: my tbr can never be full (mwahahahahaha)

    This is a side note or whatever, but I'm surprised I didn't get popular booktok books as recommendations, as this is what usually floods my feed so I thought that was what everyone was reading lol.

    Copper Skin, Oaken Lungs (Copper & Ash, #1)

    Adam Bassett

    For a thousand years, The Old Town has stood as humanity’s last bastion against the maalkonis, malignant black mists that reduced the rest of the world to ash. They are kept at bay by rusty machines on the town’s walls. In order to survive, the dwindling population depends on one another. Since a young age, Justīne has embraced the harsh responsibilities that accompanied her apprenticeship on the last farm in existence. Her younger sister, Anna, is beginning her own apprenticeship as well. Learning engineering was not Anna's first choice, but the town's last mage fell to the maalkonis years prior, leaving nothing behind but confusing books and strange runes. When food runs low during a particularly harsh winter, distrust spreads like a plague, and Justīne is blamed for it. As hunger leads to violence, she and her siblings are forced to flee The Old Town, embarking on a perilous journey into the very mists that had formed their cage. Their fight to survive in the dark develops into a hopeful mystery as they follow the breadcrumbs of a mage’s efforts to save the world. Meanwhile something pursues them through the maalkonis…

    Family Drama

    Family Drama

    Rebecca Fallon

    A vibrant debut and powerful meditation on family, motherhood, and the cost of holding on to your dreams, reminiscent of Ann Napolitano. It’s 1997, and snow is blanketing a New England beach. Two befuddled seven-year-olds watch as their mother’s body is tipped overboard a crumbling boat. A Viking funeral, followed by a raucous wake. A send-off fit for soap opera star Susan Bliss. Fifteen years earlier, Susan is a blazing, beautiful young woman, passionate about her art. It’s impossible not to fall in love with her, and so Alcott, a practical professor, does—hopelessly. And so begins the love story of Susan’s two-paneled life, an unconventional, jetlag-filled arrangement that takes her back and forth between her home in New England as a wife and mother to young twins, and the bright lights of soapy Los Angeles. In the present, Susan’s twins grow up in the shadow of her all-consuming absence. Sebastian, a sensitive artist, cleaves to her memory, fascinated with the artifacts of her starry past. Viola, resentful of her mother’s torn allegiances, distances herself from the memories of her. But when Viola runs into her mother’s old costar Orson Grey—now a renowned Hollywood star—she finds herself falling deeply in love with him and begins to put together the pieces of a mother she never really knew. Sharp, assured, and beautifully written, Family Drama is a story told in double-helix, with intertwined timelines that explore the different versions of ourselves we share with the world and with each other.

    Reparenting the Inner Child: The New Science of Our Oldest Wounds and How to Heal Them

    Reparenting the Inner Child: The New Science of Our Oldest Wounds and How to Heal Them

    Nicole LePera

    From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of How to Do the Work and How to Be the Love You Seek comes a groundbreaking guide to healing our childhood wounds and rediscovering our full potential As adults, we often fall into patterns that feel irrational or out of character—shutting down, lashing out, people-pleasing, or self-sabotaging. Beneath those reactions lies our inner child, a younger part of us still trying to get its needs met the only way it knows how. We all carry the imprint of our earliest years. Childhood is brief, yet its impact is lifelong. Some parts of us were met with love while other parts were met with silence, criticism, or disapproval. To survive, we learned to adapt—learning to over perform, to hide, or stay small. Most of us made it through with a mix of love and lack. And many of us still protect the parts of ourselves that once felt unsafe. While we can’t change what happened, we can change how it lives within us and impacts our lives today. Reparenting the Inner Child offers a clear, compassionate path to self-integration, combining practical exercises, somatic tools, and guided reflections to help us create the safety, love, and boundaries we've always needed. Through her holistic framework that models individual development, Dr. LePera explains how we can cultivate the emotional maturity and regulation to respond calmly instead of reacting, to embrace desire instead of shame, and to question the stories we've long believed about who we have to be. Enlightening, empowering, and clarifying, Reparenting the Inner Child is a book that will stand the test of time as a comprehensive guide for personal development and healing, and a resource that will forever change the way we understand ourselves.
