I am currently NOT feeling any of the books I'm reading/have borrowed from the library, so I feel like I keep collecting more. BUT THEN I tell myself I can't read the new books until I read the old ones (I'm fighting Libby holds and library deadlines here). But bleeeeeh. I've had The House of Seven Gables "on the go" for months now LOL I just don't feel like reading something from that time period. I own it so there's no pressure but I borrowed (stole) The Mysteries of Udolpho from my sister and I need to read it too so I need to finish The House of Seven Gables first. I've also started Wildwood Dancing (Libby is wrenching it from my grasp in SIX days) but i wasn't feeling it last night! I have a Korean book also on the go but I have 9 days left (idk if I can read it that fast), I didn't get a notice that the ebook hold was available and it was the first time using this app so eek! I'm also picking my way through Empire of Silence and someone said the narration sounds like Optimus Prime and I can't get that out of my head. It's political intrigue and yes it's interesting but it's brain power yknow? I just bumped Play Nice to the top of my list and spent the day reading it but frankly it was underwhelming. It was a bit of a palate cleanse though!
Anyways what are you all reading? How are you liking your books? Loving them? Hating them? Little bit of both?

That's Not a Fall Out Boy Song??
I've fallen back into my Fall Out Boy era, so was inspired to make a list of books with titles that sound like they could be early Fall Out Boy Songs.
This list is purely subjective and doesn't take into account anything about the book other than the title.
As always, open to suggestions! 🤠

A short, fun read! A simple premise with a hilarious and ridiculous execution! Sammy is loveable, their friends are our friends, and this bachelor party fucking suuuuuuuucks!

Aaaaand we see that the way people transvestigate female athletes has remained the same for 100+ years. Great, thanks, I hate it.
The things said about Kinue Hitomi in the 1920s sounds exactly like the things people have said more recently about Imane Khelif and Caster Semenya. Goddamn this is depressing.

For all you queer Frankenstein fans, this is the book for you! This book explores gender, sexuality, family trauma, race, and ableism in such a diverse and nuanced way! We have so many characters whose identities overlap in such interesting ways that really adds to the themes of Frankenstein and what it means to be human. This was such a beautiful story!

Honestly, didn’t hit quites as hard as A Dead Djinn in Cairo, but was still really enjoyable! I want to read the other accompanying stories now as well! I love the characters and I’m glad that we get more of them!
kitsulli commented on kitsulli's review of Light from Uncommon Stars
Was this book written specifically for me? Queer characters, violins, aliens, scifi shenanigans, Star Trek references, and deals with the devil? Ummmm yes please!
There were times when all these disparate things didn’t mesh as well as I might hope. For example, the logistics of heaven and hell and demons as we on Earth conceptualize these things existing while there also being intelligent life on other planets. I have a lot of questions and theories around this and am a bit disappointed that the complex relationship wasn’t explored at all.
Still, it was overall a great story! Despite being a but predictable, it was a satisfying read that introduced a world that I’m very curious about and want more of! It contained so many of my own personal niche interests, so of course I loved it!
