Book review: The Heartbreak Years
love this book but it is dense af took me forever to read. Honey’s prose is poetic & concise but it’s also a little hard to relive the Great Recession rn. Fave part was the epilogue (basically an ode to her friendships) #booksky
Cw: assualts, recent history

Book review: The Night Circus
Listening to this concurrently with reading Starling House was a mistake. This book suffered by comparison. Also, circuses just aren’t my fave. It’s not bad, just not as good as the starless sea. Light read tho, and Jim Dale!
Cw: death, shit guardians

Book review: Starling House
Super vivid story, creepy but not over the top. The imagery in the book is 🔥🔥🔥. It really seeped into my brain in a good way.
Big Cw’s: child abuse/neglect, death of parent, systemic racism & aftermath of slavery #booksky

This sure is a book with a story about characters. I can see the appeal of the perspective in the 90s when there was less overtly inclusive fantasy available, but I’m not sure there will ever be a way to get me to care about Oz.

Book review: To Be Taught, If Forturnate
My favorite of the series/world, but I cried about it + Voyager probes for a full day. Don’t read it first, context of the other 4 is why it is hopeful
CW: suicide attempt, earth death, intense existential dread, and euthanasia of a non-pet animal #booksky

Book review: The Galaxy and the Ground Within
Love it, no notes. I adore how Chambers expanded and defined this reality from almost entirely non-human POVs.
CW: lock down feels and near-death of a child, plus some prejudice

Book review: the Lesbiana’s Guide to Catholic School
Reyes wrote a really really great book. The characters go way beyond ya tropes but still feel like authentic teens; they are complex and 3D. Well plotted, and just great. main CWs are homophobia, religion, racism and suicide attempt #booksky

Book review: Heartstopper series
This series is literally the cutest. It seems like a cute teen romance with some themes of bullying, learning about yourself, and coming out, but it’s about more than just the romance-y bits of a relationship. Tackles real life stuff, so so good #booksky

Book review: Record of a Spaceborn Few
I loved it. Using funeral rituals as a structure to talk about future human society was such a good plot device. It doesn’t sound like it from that description, but it’s so hopeful for humanity. Cw for death and dying, bodies, and the endless void of space.

Book review: Heartstopper vol. 2.
Adorable, and a really accessible read for people (me) who don’t read *a lot* of graphic novels. It took me almost a year to get back to this series because emotions are a lot (but good). Cw for homophobia and bullying. #booksky

Book review: Pageboy
I’ve been a little jaded about celebrity memoirs the last few years, but Pageboy is an exception. It’s thoughtful and well written. Would be worth reading if Page weren’t famous.

Book review (as I chop some onions): the Bones Beneath My Skin.
Klune has become a better writer in the last 7 years; this book is evidence the stories have always been great. Loved it, some cw’s for cults, suicides/murders, imprisonment, loss of autonomy and homophobia, specifically from family.

Book review: Tooth and Claw. It’s fan fiction about Edwardian England featuring all dragons. Said dragons behave like landed English gentry about 80% of the time, and randomly eat dragon flesh the other 20%. It was a weird book, and I promise I don’t hate everything I read.

Everything else aside, being alive in a time where there are videos of space is pretty cool.
Intuitive Machines made it to the moon last year, but the spacecraft tumbled over. On Thursday, the company aims to stick the landing and deliver NASA cargo closer to the lunar south pole than any other mission. Follow live updates.

Book review: Fingersmith.
I want to say it reminds me of Jane Eyre, but I refuse to finish that book, so it reminds me of the Jane Eyre synopsis. Finished this because plot twists kept genuinely surprising me, plus lesbians. Big 3 CW: violence, extreme manipulation, mental illness (stigma, abuse)
