Everyone Has A Key To The World
A massive interest of mine is storytelling, and it is, in my not so humble opinion, one of the finest traits mankind has weaves into it’s system. We have went out of our way to create entertainment and stories that may never happen, because we enjoy it, because it empowers us, because we can grasp some idea of truth and the path forward with our own lives. So as an amateur writer myself, I hope to pass on a footnote of insight I’ve realized about writing. This one line:

For not long it lasted and not for that while

10 Underwhelming And Insufferable Books To Avoid
If you want to read my other list of books that suck, you can: here. Also, if I attacked one of your beloved, most cherished books, just know that you are not alone—others have similarly witnessed their favourite books publicly shamed and ripped to shreds (except for a couple of incidents, maybe) by me. I look forward to hearing what you all have to say in the comments! Happy reading!

Books I regret reading
ok, the title is a little dramatic. I don’t necessarily regret reading anything. More like, they were really bad and I could've added them to my dnf pile without a second thought.

The Maidens: Review
I should start by saying, I have a lot to say about this book. I should also say that this is the first book by Alex Michaelides that I have read. Michaelides is known for his debut novel The Silent Patient which was No.1 on the New York Times Best Seller list upon its release in 2019. Since finishing The Maidens I have ordered his debut novel and it arrives tomorrow.

The Bridgerton Scandal
If you've been living under a rock, or just determinedly avoiding YouTube and Social Media for whatever entirely valid reason, you may have missed the news that Netflix has filed a lawsuit over copyright infringement against independent artists Barlow and Bear.

When the Living Bury the Dead . Top Story - August 2022.
Wake up babe, a new 95 Theses just dropped. For those lucky enough to not have your lives inundated by the relentless hellscape that is Twitter, you may have missed the latest discourse. The microcosm of wokescold-eat-wokescold that is Book Twitter (booktwt for short) has once again proven that reading and being utterly illiterate are not mutually exclusive. At 10:39 pm on August 17, a thread dropped which rendered the general atmosphere of Twitter somewhere between uninhabitable and euphoric. The thread–the poster of which remain unnamed to avoid further harassment of her–started like this:

What Is Magical Realism?
If you're interested in fantasy and the use of magic in literary fiction and art, you've probably come across the genre. This style of fiction adds magical elements to the real world, blurring the line between reality and fantasy. It's a style of fiction that is particularly popular in literary works. Its influences come from a number of different sources, including science fiction, fantasy, and horror. The style has become increasingly popular in recent years, and is an important part of contemporary literary fiction and art.

The only quote about writing I'll ever need. . Top Story - August 2022.
There are a million quotes about writing out there, ranging from the straight-talking, to the completely unfathomable. There's a lot of wisdom in them, there's no doubt about that, but there's a lot of…other stuff in them too.

Planet Tetros ~ Page 6
That's when I heard it before I saw them. Ungh! I'm not ashamed to say it was the most sexual moan I've ever heard. "Hey, bright." I turned around, and then I saw a very familiar face. It was one of the poodle twins, Sylvi. She was naked on my couch and right on top of John! Honestly, as beautiful as she was, I couldn't look because I didn't want to see John. Then I felt a warm fuzzy finger run down my spine. "Hey there." Goldy, her sister. I recognized her voice before I saw her. As beautiful as her sister, as they are identical. She has a bronze tan color, while Sylvi is more of a shiny silver grey. She had no top on, and her breasts, to my pleasant surprise, were identical to her sisters!

Last Night at the Telegraph Club
I really, really wanted to love this novel. I ended up just liking it a lot. I still gave it four stars on Goodreads, though. It is such an important novel telling such an important story, and I think anyone with a heart and interest in historical Sapphic novels would love it.
