I like books that leave me wondering: dystopian, magical realism, sapphic mythology, and irrelevant science. When I'm not reading, I'm playing Steam games and hanging out with my tuxedo cat. AuDHD.

Hi friends! 🧡
I’m feeling quite intimidated to start Priory given the book length and the fact that I’m on the slower side when it comes to reading paperback books. I’ve been longingly staring at Priory sitting on my desk for over two years… and I’m looking for some motivation to finally start.
I loved A Day of Fallen Night so much, Samantha Shannon’s style of writing is incredible, and I want so badly to read this book! I just need some help on the motivation end haha.
If you’re interested in possibly being reading buddies for this book, please let me know! I was thinking that we could take our time, come up with a relaxed schedule that works for us, and then check in weekly (or whatever we agree on) through forum posts, comments, etc.
Thanks for considering, happy reading! 🍊✨🐉

Japanese Literary Fiction 🇯🇵👤💭

From the provocative and challenging to the emotional and quiet, Japanese literary fiction tends to be nuanced, introspective, and minimalistic. These books contain layered cultural commentary and may lean on psychological, surreal, or fantastical elements to convey their message.

An introduction to the Fantasy genre, these books are part of the cultural zeitgeist or the 'canon' that many would recognize. Look for more niche titles in later Starter Pack volumes.

[Placeholder review until I can properly process everything I just read!]
Why did the Queen of Hearts go mad? Well, love, of course.
There’s something to be said here about the intersectionality of magical realism and the plight of womanhood. Of fate versus free will. Of always being underestimated. Of being a pretty little doll until you become a monster. Of sacrificing your dreams for justice.
Heartless is unsatisfying, intentionally so. There is no happy ending here. There is only the death of girlhood and the weight of being without love. The weight of emptiness.
