Are there any books or series that you have reread? Or want to reread?
I feel like one marker for a good book/series is the desire for a reader to come back to that world againāwhether its for nostalgia or just to catch things you might have missed the first time around.
Could be any genre but Iād love to know what books you come back to and why! (lowkey so I can add them to my tbr š®āšØ)

The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle

Iām not talking problematic, Iām talking PETTY. Like, āI know itās stupid, but Iām dying on this hill anyway,ā level of petty. Iāll go firstā¦
Typically Iām all for an author getting their bag for their intellectual property. But in this case, I wonāt read 'The Witcher' series, and itās because the author pretty much dissed gaming as an art form, then got the Polish government involved to force CD Projekt Red (game devs of The Witcher series) to renegotiate his contract because he chose to sell his IP in the gaming sector for an immediate payout over taking a royalties check. He didnāt believe the game series would come to anything, didnāt believe that gaming was a serious art form, then cried when he noticed how much money the devs made (as well as the exposure it created for his book series) and threatened litigation for $16 million.
So I refuse to read his books or watch the show. In fact, I think itās kinda hilarious that the Netflix writers donāt respect his material in the same way he didnāt respect gaming. I consider it karmic payback.
You can find out the full scope if you look up YongYea on YouTube. The videos span from 5-6 years ago. And yeah⦠thatās my Petty Betty book moment. What's yours?

"Sometimes," Nina clarifies, "everybody tells you something because they are everybody. But why should one listen to everybody? Did everybody write the Odyssey? Did everybody write the Aeneid?"
Nina I love you and your little 9 year old brain. You're so wise

Hellooo everyone, I'm back except this time i'm looking for trashy romance novel recs instead of rhetorical theory and discourse recs lol! You know the ones that have a scantily clad straight couple on the cover with a silly title? Those are the ones I'm looking for. There's just so many to choose from, and I don't know which are gonna be reliable and actually fun, and not just....bad in a sad way. So, I turn to you, my friends! Which ones did you love? Which ones are a guilty pleasure? Lay 'em all out: I wanna read. Thank you hehe
