I did a casual stocktake of my bookshelves this morning (I own a collection of around 400 books) and noticed I actually donāt own a physical copy of my top 5 books. My reading has changed over the years and probably use the library more than my younger years but I was still surprised and something I probably should change. Curious to know if there are others out there that own a collection with the same black hole.

Things We Hide from the Light (Knockemout, #2)
Lucy Score
librosrosas wrote a review...
I deeply connected to the author/FMC for her struggles with mental health and depression. Her descriptions of suicidal ideation were intense and triggering at times, but realistic and important to bring awareness to. I am thankful to have overcome a lot of that, but not many are fortunate enough to make it out, whether the struggle is lifelong or ends in death. This brought out some of the same resentment I got when I learned of what early psychology was. I know that the findings were instrumental to healing today, but so many suffered in silence with no relief.

I was confused the first third of the book, and there's still no tangible plot but now I'm here for it I don't wanna stop reading

Hearing this is so heartbreaking. I hope Chanel knows just how many people now know her words, her truth, her story and support her entirely. Oh, and always, f*ck Brock Turneršāāļø
librosrosas created a list
Books that Inspired Music
This is a list of books that have inspired further artistic expression and gave us some iconic albums and songs.
This list is inspired by a Reddit post made 4 yrs ago by the user r/books. I was looking for a way to intersect my love of music and reading. I came across the Reddit post and thought it would be a fun mission to find more books that inspired music. The books I started with are some identified in that Reddit post. I hope to update this into a proper list with the identified songs! š¤

Does anyone see a book they read for school or read when they were younger and log it in your finished library?
I do! I do it because I like to reread a book I read years ago to see if I still like it today. For example: I read Burial Rites for my year 12 English class for literature study and loved it back then. I do hope to reread it soon and see if I feel differently as an adult.
