Victor: An Unfinished Song by Joan Jara. Really interesting, especially if you're like me interested in his music and history Highly recommended.

Right now I am working on redoing an old Batman Fanfic I did a couple years back. Didn't like how I ended it, so I am having to re-read it and do some rewriting.

y for yesterday. it's a crime series by an author i kinda grew up with. she actually died recently which is kinda sad considering she had written 24 books in her alphabet series and only had one left before she finished but it's almost nice that she didn't have to wrap it up, it would be weird it coming to a complete close and now i can kinda imagine that the characters can live on!

I finished reading We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson today. I hadn't heard of it until very recently and wish someone had told me about it sooner. It is such a good book.

I read If I Was Your Girl by Meredith Russo yesterday. I had high hopes for a novel about a transgirl written by a transwoman. I was horribly disappointed. Most of the problems I had with the book she tried to justify in a letter to readers at the end where she says she deliberately changed medical facts to work with her story (eg starting treatment/getting surgery underage) and minimised the experience to be more relatable to cis-readers.

It has had wide appeal so it disappoints me that a book with so much potential do educate and entertain simultaneously fell so short.

Wow, what? I read this over the summer and had no idea about the letter. That really changes how I see the book

I’ve just started reading The Secret History by Donna Tartt and The Heart’s Invisible Furies by John Boyne. I probably won’t finish either until summer comes around, but they’re both very entertaining so far.

Am reading The Help by Kathryn Stockett, The Nest by Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney, and Angels & Demons by Dan Brown.

Sprinting to catch up on my reading challenge as you can see.

I got accidentally sent a wrong book by amazon, and so they're letting me keep the book they sent as well as sending me (hopefully) the correct book for free which is awesome. The book I accidentally was sent is called Badass Ways to End Anxiety & Stop Panic Attacks! which is something I need in my life, so I've started reading it. Hopefully it helps somewhat with some of my issues. =D

Started on "Nana" by some Swiss author called "Delacorta" or something.. It's pretty rad and def. a child of its time but pretty entertaining lol. Found the smol paperback at work and we had book and multimedia sale going on so wynaut.

I recently finished We Need To Talk About Kevin and let me tell you right now that it is my favourite book of all-time. Jesus the ending was a twist.

I'm now reading 1984. I haven't touched it in a few days but what I have read, I've really enjoyed.
