From the studio that brought you "I've got a Mistborn tattoo"...
Here I present to you "I've got Yumi and the Nightmare Painter" nails."

I'm obsessed. I know. I'm (not) sorry.

I think the only book I've ever DNFed is Fifty Shades of Grey. And then there's the Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater, which is one of my fav series and I reread the whole thing last year. The second one (The Dream Thieves) is probably my favourite.

Fun fact, even though I mostly read on Kindle and don't usually buy physical copies of books, I do have all of these on my actual shelf (except Yumi and the Nightmare Painter)!

Boy oh boy. As someone who works in the comic/graphic novel/manga industry, this question is tricky, so I'll keep it simple and say what I've been saying for years. The Prince of Tennis and Ouran Host Club are my fav manga series of all time!

Jay Shetty is such an inspiration and his words and advice always make so much sense, even if you're more into the spiritual/mindful part of society or the practical/pragmatic one (I like to think I'm a little bit of both). This book has everything, in my opinion.

Here is my review for These Violent Delights by Micah Nemerever (yeah, not the one by Chloe Gong, that's a different These Violent Delights), which I wrote in August.

#BookishQOTD 📖🦋 #Booksky 💙📚
These Violent Delights by Micah Nemerever (cover) Fun that I would want to go back to book reviewing for the first one to be this particular story, since the most important question, which would be "did I like it?", has to be answered with "actually I'm not sure". Ok, let me rephrase that. These Violent Delights navigates through some topics, life experiences and philosophical questions that are really interesting (and quite scary). The writing style was mesmerising and the vibes were immaculate. Micah Nemerever is capable of describing the character's feelings in a way that made me understand (most of the time) perfectly what they were going through, even though I would never be able to truly sympathise (or even emphathise) with them. So, did I like it? Yes, absolutely. Did I enjoy it, though? I don't think so. Which is fine, because I don't think this is an enjoyable book. It's dark, and twisted, and it portrays such a toxic relationship that there is no way someone could even begin to romanticise it (thank god for that). At the same time, the characters go through some emotions that might seem unhinged or impossible, but deep down I found such humanity in those that I have nothing but praise for the author, for being able to convey this in such a raw way. These Violent Delights was a wild ride, full of trigger warnings and extremely questionable characters, but if you can read through that, you will get a (scarily) human story.

I've never checked if I've read anything by an indigenous author before, so this made me investigate and make me more mindful about the origins and history of authors I read, which I think is very important.
Firekeeper's Daughter by Angeline Boulley is on my BTR now!

#BookishQOTD 📖🦋 #Booksky 💙📚
Firekeeper's Daughter by Angeline Boulley (cover) As a biracial, unenrolled tribal member and the product of a scandal, Daunis Fontaine has never quite fit in—both in her hometown and on the nearby Ojibwe reservation. When her family is struck by tragedy, Daunis puts her dreams on hold to care for her fragile mother. The only bright spot is meeting Jamie, the charming new recruit on her brother’s hockey team. After Daunis witnesses a shocking murder that thrusts her into a criminal investigation, she agrees to go undercover. But the deceptions—and deaths—keep piling up and soon the threat strikes too close to home. How far will she go to protect her community if it means tearing apart the only world she’s ever known?

I just finished The Lost Metal, so definitely Tress of the Emerald Sea!! I've got less than five weeks to read the three Cosmere secret projects before Wind and Truth, so... Yup. And everyone says that I will LOVE Tress so I'm very excited about it.

Didn't read much in terms of number of books but well, RoW is 1232 pages long, so I guess it has to count for something!

-Rythm of War by Brandon Sanderson
-Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross

Loved both of it, obviously✨
