fuchssy commented on Gia17's review of Days at the Morisaki Bookshop
I was cringing at first when I started reading it probably because it’s a translated book. I often get this feeling whenever I read Japanese literature. I didn’t feel particularly fond of the characters or even the plot. But somehow, I kept finding insightful quotes here and there, and there’s a certain purity in them. My actual rating would be 3.5/5. Still, after finishing it, I felt warm all over my body. Turns out, I like this one after all.
fuchssy commented on Gia17's review of Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men
Women’s rights are human rights. This book really explains its title, the invisible women, yes, women, are the invisible ones. We are living in a society and a world designed for men. Oh, I will never be ready to read all of this data. Even though on an individual level I’m surrounded by men who aren’t patriarchal, on a population level it’s very much the opposite. This book is such an eye-opener. Even though the sheer amount of data can be overwhelming, it’s all necessary to understand how important female representation is in every aspect of life.

For my work I have to understand alternative forms of reading, and that kind of made me spiral back in the world of fanfic. I'm basically curious, do you read fanfictions? Is it something you can talk about IRL (I def feel like it used to be more taboo)? What are your go-to tags ? What are your biggest icks? What do you think about fanfiction oozing it's way in mainstream publishing? Basically let's chat about fanfics :)

I’m just curious! I have been mainly on my phone but I’m now wondering if I should start on my computer because I find myself scrolling here so much lately and my screen time is crazy haha

Graceling was my introduction to Kristin Cashore's world and writing and as a consequence, it will always stay in my heart. But I always preferred Fire (and Bitterblue even more) for the darker themes and the more intricate plots and characters !

People always ask, if you could read a book for the first time again what would it be? But what they don't ask is which book do you wish you never read? As in, it was so bad you could only hope to forget it ever existed.
