basically the title of the post. i’m an asexual lesbian who doesn’t really care for sex in books. i don’t mind if it’s a small amount i just don’t really get much out of it. are there any good horror books y’all have read with heavy focus on a lesbian relationship between main characters? thanks!

I've tried several times now to eat while reading and the only time I've managed to do this successfully is when the book in question was in an audio format. If I'm reading a physical book, I'm always at a loss at how I should flip the pages without having to do a whole lot of shuffling so that I don't rip the page or get food on it by accident. And then I'm supposed to... use one arm to just... hold it up the entire time I'm reading?? 🤔 That gets so exhausting so quickly! And this issue isn't really made any better with ereaders either. Sure, they're a lot better because you don't have to try to hold a heavy book open, but you still have to touch it in some capacity, and trying to prop it up with something else doesn't really work, and my kindle's slammed down on the table more than once from me accidentally knocking it over. Maybe this is just more of a 'me' thing since I have a tendency towards finger food (been getting really into sandwiches lately in particular!) but reading while eating continues to baffle me. Props to people who manage to do it without much issue, and what is your secret... And to the people who have tried but failed... be honest, how much food did you get on your book 🫣

Naturalmouse commented on nezuu's review of Pet (Pet, #1)
pet is a book that offers a view into a world that appears to be perfect - all the monsters have been eradicated. people seem to be happy, safe, and without fear. in exploring this world, we quickly come to understand and confront the permanence of 'monsters' and 'evil'. where humanity exists, there will always be abuse, exploitation, and harm.
the message of pet is simple. denying the existence of an issue, regardless of the pervasiveness of it, does not contribute towards the betterment of society. i personally thought that it is very powerful to explore this message in a children's book. it is important for children to learn and know the signs of abuse and openly speak about it, should they ever find themselves in danger.
this book led me through a full range of emotions; fear, rage, warmth, comfort, frustration, doubt. i wish that younger me could have read this book. i think that it would've resolved a lot of confusion, pain, and heartache for me.
lastly, it was absolutely fantastic to see a trans girl as the main character, one who is surrounded by love, understanding, support, and compassion. her transness was not shied away from or simply mentioned flippantly; it was repeatedly mentioned and explored in a positive light.
also, i think it's bullshit that this book was banned for including a trans mc and addressing csa
