That Sounded Better in My Head

I'm in far too many fandoms to count and have a tendency to ramble. I have a tumblr for my rants on books at bookcub.

Do you know this Musical Song? #395

I know the song and the musical

I know the song but not the musical

Notable Reads of 2026 (so far)

The Everlasting by Alix E. Harrow - A fantastic fantasy novel about an epic lady knight, a cowardly scholar, and the power of stories. I need to talk about this book with everyone.

As Many Souls as Stars by Natasha Siegel - A sapphic romantic fantasy about a witch and a demon who make a Faustian bargain, whose love story is equal levels of intoxicating and beautiful.

Villains are Destined to Die by SUOL (vol 1-8) - An isekai manhwa where a college student becomes the villain in a dating sim and must be ruthless in her journey of survival. Stunning art and a fantastic main character.

The Bewitching by Silvia Moreno-Garcia - A fantastical, historical, horror novel following three women in different time periods. It's deeply unsettling and weird and magical. Excited to read more by Moreno-Garcia!

Armeveni by Nadine Takvorian - A graphic memoir, that follows not only the author, but how she learns about how her family fled Armenia during the genocide. Stunning art, well-researched and poignant about another part of history that is often erased.

Just One Gift by Linda Sue Park - A very short kids' book about a classroom who have the assignment to think of a gift they would give to someone in their lives' that they have never asked for. I cried like 4 times.

A Natural History of Dragons by Marie Brennan (vol. 1-4) - A fictional memoir series about a scientist in a fake Victorian(?) England studying dragons throughout her lifetime, with drama in regards to her personal life and world politics. Very fun.

Fustuk by Robert Mgrdich Apelian - A stunning fantasy graphic novel, pulling from Armenian and Persian mythology about a family making a deal with a demonic creature. Lots of familial tension, gorgeous art, and lots of focus on food.

The Lesbiana's Guide to Catholic School and The Golden Boy's Guide to Bipolar by Sonido Reyes - YA contemporary novels following a set of siblings as they struggle with different aspects of their identity. I bawled reading these books and the relationship between Yami and Cesar feels so real.

Comfort Me with Apples by Cathrynne M. Valente - Bluebeard in a white, suburban gated community. Terrifying. Cutting critique of white supremacy.

the scariest thing in the world is probably whatever's going on in the tiny gap between my kitchen counters and the oven

you've heard of "quiet quitting," now I'd like to introduce you to the next level, The French Work Ethic:

Do exactly what you're paid for and nothing more

Absolutely refuse to be available to contact when you're off the clock

Never prioritize work over your own health, wellbeing, or family because that would be insane, it's just a job.

Have a little glass of wine

Take as long as you feel like for lunch

Deeply understand that work doesn't matter

Make sure your boss your boss knows they're always your second priority ❤️

🗣️ Hey, young Americans:

Old Millennial American speaking here. I need you to adopt this mentality as early as possible and hold to it. The older you get, the harder it is to begin this practice and claw back the extremely unhealthy effects of a workaholic lifestyle. I am speaking from 20 years of experience.

This does not mean having a shitty attitude at work, or not doing your job, or relying on co-workers to carry your water.

This means you do what it says above. It also means not making work and productively your entire personality; not tying your productivity to your value; and not becoming so emotionally enmeshed in your work and workplace so that you are living and dying by what happens there.

Good luck out there. American workplace culture is mostly designed to work you to death. Moving against that tide can be challenging, so having a healthy mindset is important to living a life not consumed by your paid labor.

They have been excluded from all other tournaments on this blog because having a whole show go against just one season always felt off to me, but now is your chance to submit one season television shows! It doesn't matter if they purposely had one season or if they were cancelled/etc, this is where you would submit the ones you love!
