The Yellow Wall-Paper

Charlotte Perkins Gilman

Diagnosed by her physician husband with a “temporary nervous depression—a slight hysterical tendency” after the birth of her child, a woman is urged to rest for the summer in an old colonial mansion. Forbidden from doing work of any kind, she spends her days in the house’s former nursery, with its barred windows, scratched floor, and peeling yellow wallpaper. In a private journal, the woman records her growing obsession with the “horrid” wallpaper. Its strange pattern mutates in the moonlight, revealing what appears to be a human figure in the design. With nothing else to occupy her mind, the woman resolves to unlock the mystery of the wallpaper. Her quest, however, leads not to the truth, but into the darkest depths of madness. A condemnation of the patriarchy, The Yellow Wallpaper explores with terrifying economy the oppression, grave misunderstanding, and willful dismissal of women in late nineteenth-century society. First published in January 1892 in The New England Magazine. Excerpt: Out of another I get a lovely view of the bay and a little private wharf belonging to the estate. There is a beautiful shaded lane that runs down there from the house. I always fancy I see people walking in these numerous paths and arbors, but John has cautioned me not to give way to fancy in the least. He says that with my imaginative power and habit of story-making a nervous weakness like mine is sure to lead to all manner of excited fancies, and that I ought to use my will and good sense to check the tendency. So I try.

Where Devotion Meets Desire: A Thesis 📝

by Sinner

41 books

WARNING: These stories contain copious amounts of sex, sin, taboo naughtiness, and bad behaviour. They're the Original Sinners after all. Not the Original Saints. Read at your own risk.

I’ve said often enough that I could write a damn thesis on these books and this is the first step in my one woman domination of the forums.

This is a Master list of all the books, novellas, short stories and pieces I could find on the Original Sinners series by Tiffany Reisz.

I’ve also included a 'Syllabus for the Sinner' in the comments with the suggested reading order, a chronological order and links to the authors website for free stories or places to purchase.

Unfortunately, on the 12th of December, 2025, it was confirmed that the series won't continue. Source

Trans lives matter more than HP

I’m just looking for more people to follow who hold this belief. I recently made a comment on here on a quest that we as a community shouldn’t platform HP because of the harm JKR is doing to trans people like me and I’m being called a book burner for this when I never called for book burning. JKR enacts politically violence and has assaulted a trans woman (took upskirt photos of this woman) and I’m tired of being told I’m a book burner when I ask people not to platform for that. Her money she earns from HP is being used to hurt trans people like me. I just need other people to follow on here with the same beliefs because I’m tired and feeling ostracized in the book community for believing Trans lives matter more than a stupid book

Book of Night (Book of Night, #1)

Holly Black

Holly Black makes her adult debut with Book of Night, a modern dark fantasy of shadowy thieves and secret societies. In Charlie Hall’s world, shadows can be altered, for entertainment and cosmetic preferences—but also to increase power and influence. You can alter someone’s feelings—and memories—but manipulating shadows has a cost, with the potential to take hours or days from your life. Your shadow holds all the parts of you that you want to keep hidden—a second self, standing just to your left, walking behind you into lit rooms. And sometimes, it has a life of its own. Charlie is a low-level con artist, working as a bartender while trying to distance herself from the powerful and dangerous underground world of shadow trading. She gets by doing odd jobs for her patrons and the naive new money in her town at the edge of the Berkshires. But when a terrible figure from her past returns, Charlie’s present life is thrown into chaos, and her future seems at best, unclear—and at worst, non-existent. Determined to survive, Charlie throws herself into a maelstrom of secrets and murder, setting her against a cast of doppelgängers, mercurial billionaires, shadow thieves, and her own sister—all desperate to control the magic of the shadows.

5 / 5 ⭐️

this genuinely took my breath away. wow. alix e harrow is raising the bar y’all. this was well done in every single category: from its world building to its prose, from plotting to characterization, from the start all the way until the very last page. this was beyond beautiful.

i had no idea where it was going, but i really enjoyed the ride. definitely go into this book blind if possible, because the reveals are so satisfying. this author brings up so many interesting thoughts about nations, identity, and destiny, and this was genuinely such a fresh take on those questions.

listen i don’t typically say shit like this, but i would give this 6 stars if i could. this was a TRIUMPH. and i hope this author is so so proud, because what a gorgeous story she’s telling!! with so many nuggets of esoteric and humanistic truth!

i don’t even want to say more. this book says it all, dude. if you haven’t read this, what are you doing??? wake up and smell the ulla flowers babe. wake up and meet me beneath the yew tree babe.

so romantic. so tragic. so human!! thank you alix e harrow!!! you really stepped up and showed everyone how good fantasy can be.

The Everlasting

Alix E. Harrow

From Alix E. Harrow, the New York Times bestselling author of Starling House, comes a moving and genre-defying quest about the lady-knight whose legend built a nation, and the cowardly historian sent back through time to make sure she plays her part–even if it breaks his heart. Sir Una Everlasting was Dominion’s greatest hero: the orphaned girl who became a knight, who died for queen and country. Her legend lives on in songs and stories, in children’s books and recruiting posters—but her life as it truly happened has been forgotten. Centuries later, Owen Mallory—failed soldier, struggling scholar—falls in love with the tale of Una Everlasting. Her story takes him to war, to the archives—and then into the past itself. Una and Owen are tangled together in time, bound to retell the same story over and over again, no matter what it costs. But that story always ends the same way. If they want to rewrite Una’s legend—if they want to tell a different story--they’ll have to rewrite history itself.

Thoughts from 80% - Hybern

Nothing to do with the story but I just wanted to share that, for some reason, when Hybern is mentioned, I imagined him as Ice King from Adventure Time

Have a good day

Music while reading?

Do y’all listen to music while you read? Those activities are very intertwined to me and I even sometimes make playlists for books I particularly love and I was wondering if y’all did something similar? Feel free to drop any favorite playlists (book related or otherwise) or book-y music-y thoughts below!

(edited because my keyboard was randomly in french and added accents all over the place )
