  • Why is roasting so much easier than praising?? 😭😭

    I hate that I struggle So hard to write reviews of books I loved. When I hate a book, I can write An Whole Essay. Does anyone else have this problem? 😭😭

    To the surprise of no one, the dog (this time named Beans) is the best character in the book.

    "Olympus. It's still called Mount Olympus, out of respect to the old ways, but the palace moves, Percy, just as the gods do." "You mean the Greek gods are here? Like...in America?" "Well, certainly. The gods move with the heart of the West." "The what?" "Come now, Percy. What you call 'Western civilization'. Do you think it's just an abstract concept?"

    Yeah Percy, the what 😭🤣 I'm sorry but I think this is my cue to DNF this book. Western civilization because of course U.S. and EU are at the centre of the world 🫠 What is this talk please, was this dialogue even necessary in a book like this? I feel like it adds nothing to the story itself.

  • Percentage Update for CR

    Tbh… I’m not a fan of the percentage update while reading. I don’t get the hype šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø I think it’s more work than necessary. I totally get the reading list updates, or reading goal updates. What does everyone else think?? What am I missing??

    I’m curious why it was important enough to be added

  • should mangas count towards reading goals?

    technically speaking, i’ve only read 36 actual books and the rest are just manga volumes, does that count?

    in my head, mangas aren’t technically books. i mean they are art, that’s not where im getting at, it’s just not the same type of art as actual novels. the same way you see movies and tv shows separate from broadways and novels. they’re all arts, just different forms.

    so does that make adding mangas in my reading goal as cheating? i did it so i can track what’s the last volume i read and where i need to pick it back up from. but i gotta admit, it does make me feel accomplished that i read 100+ books even though they’re just manga volumes. i can get through 3-4 volumes in a day easily, on top of my regular reading.

  • Non Fiction Recommendations

    Hey, I'm definitely a novel/non fiction gal. But recently I've been going through a bit of a non-fiction phase - have loved Cult-ish, Men who hate women, jailbirds and Witchcraft (a history in 13 trials).

    Does anyone have any recommendations of non fiction they love? Please no self help/autobiography style as I've read a lot in the past and don't want anymore and find a lot of the recommendations fall into these categories. I just want to read about interesting topics, in a way that engaging - would love any help thanks in advance.

  • Question for the creatives here!

    How do your reads influence you in your creative journey?

    I do a lot of creative stuff, and here are all of the things I made, inspired by books!🄰 šŸ“šWriting: I am working on a soft scifi/horror novel, and it wad inspired by a lot of things I've read, mainly "Az utolsó emberig" by ZoltĆ”n BenyĆ”k, "Arc of a Scythe trilogy" by Neil Shusterman, "The Mirror Visitor quartet" by Christelle Dabos and the "Evillious Chronicles light novels" by mothy/Akuno-p. āœļøPoetry: I have to admit, I don't read eough poetry, but I still adore Attila József and Miklós Radnóti and they inspire me a lot! šŸŽØArt: I mostly draw characters from my stories, but I still make a great deal of fanart for my favourite reads, and also the stuff we read in literature class. My latest fanarts were little character portraits from Anyegin by Puskin. 🧸Crochet and sewing: I love makig little fantasy creatures! I also ended up accidentally sewing a cat that resembles that one button eyes creature from Coraline (never read it lol). šŸŒ„Photgrapy: I only began taking photos not so long ago, but I really wanna take pictures with dystopian vibes! šŸ“”Bookbinding: I printed out the entire fantranslation of the first Evillious book, sewn and binded it! I just really wanted to hold it in my hands. šŸ“æJewlery making: I made some little fantasy mushroom themed earrings out of air dry putty!

    If anyone wants pics of them Ill try to add them in a reply!

    Sooo, what kinda creative stuff do you do?

  • How do we feel about ghostwriters?

    We had this discussion in class today, but I wanted to hear more opinions. How do you feel about ghostwriters? Is it acceptable to use a ghostwriter?

    I feel like it’s so accepted in nonfiction, but what if it came out that one of your favorite authors had a ghostwriter or a team of ghostwriters? How would you feel?

    "My gran believes that children should know all the world's horrors." That's such a funny way to put that LOL šŸ˜‚ But honestly, we all have to learn about the world's horrors eventually šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļøšŸ˜­

  • The Sword of Summer (Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard, #1)
    Magnus as a narrator

    Ever since I read this book for the first time a few years ago, I fell absolutely in love with Magnus as a character and as a narrator. I’ve seen people criticise that his personality is a carbon copy of Percy just put into a different life. I do think there’s some similarities but I don’t see that as a bad thing. Rick has found his niche and he uses it to his advantage. Over the rest of the series I think Magnus becomes even more of his own person. One of the reasons why I loved this series instantly was because it was familiar and new at the same time. Magnus will forever be one of my favourite main characters in the riordanverse and also outside it.
