Hi! I’m Ally, welcome to my blog 💜
I post a lot about TV shows, mostly The West Wing, but also MASH, 9-1-1, Stranger Things, Star Trek TOS…
Currently rewatching The West Wing, and if you want to filter out those thoughts (or find them specifically with tumblr’s janky-ass system), the tag is “tww rewatch”.
Affectionate warning: this is a multi-fandom blog, and always has been. Everything is properly tagged.
there is really no pain quite like strongly disliking a book everyone else loves and recommends 😭
4 years since this moment...
Has anyone else just noticed really good authors putting out absolute nonsense books in 2025 and 2026??
people misunderstand summer enjoyers it’s not about the heat it’s about the fact that it isn’t getting dark at 4 pm
@pscentral event 19: music ↳ THE WEST WING + music (spotify template, insp)
Tumblr’s one true talent is making me sick of things I’ve never seen or read or heard.
What are you reading rn, why are you reading it, and what format are you reading it in (physical book, ereader, on your phone etc)
Did I tell y’all it’s my tenth AO3 anniversary today?
UNHELD — Lina Poluna, 2026, Oil on canvas
6, 16, and instead of top 5 of all time, top 5 you read this year?
What books have you read in the last month?
I have read nine books in June so far (I'm most of the way through the tenth) and if that sounds impressive it's because I work from home and have been trying (futily) to read more instead of scrolling. Also I read really fast lol. A lot of 2026 releases have had such promising premises and then they've just... been okay or not very good?
Summer Sisters, Judy Blume - ⭐⭐⭐
In Her Defense, Philippa Malicka - ⭐⭐ (more like 2.5)
Once and Again, Rebecca Serle - ⭐⭐⭐
Meet the Newmans, Jennifer Niven - ⭐⭐
Son of Nobody, Yann Martel - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Shock of the Light, Lori Inglis Hall - ⭐⭐
The Scoop, Erin Van Der Meer - ⭐⭐⭐
Lake Effect, Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney - ⭐⭐⭐
The Young Will Remember, Eve J. Chung - ⭐⭐⭐
How many books have you read this year?
Right now, I'm at 40. But I was unemployed until the start of June so... yeah.
top 5 of 2026 (so far)
Again, I have just not had a lot of luck with 2026 releases, including ones I was really anticipating! What is with my favourite authors releasing books that are just not as good as their previous ones? First TJR did this to me last year with Atmosphere, and now Kate Quinn with Astral Library???
But. There have been some winners (usual disclaimer: not listed in order).
The God of the Woods, Liz Moore
11/22/63, Stephen King
Hemlock & Silver, T. Kingfisher
Son of Nobody, Yann Martel
Anastasia, Sophie Lark
+ honourable mentions to First Time Caller by B.K. Borison and The Bewitching by Silvia Moreno-Garcia.
3) what is your favourite genre? and 4)what sections of a bookstore do you browse?
What is your favourite genre?
I like literary fiction (sometimes), and I must admit to a soft spot for romance too. I read a lot of genres honestly.
What sections of a bookstore do you browse?
All of them? (lol). Okay, but really, I generally take a swing through general fiction, then fantasy/sci-fi (sometimes also wandering over to horror), and then to romance. Sometimes a swing through non-fiction and biography.
1, 3, and 11 for the book asks
Book you’ve reread the most times?
I have re-read In Cold Blood many, many times. My mother was using it as part of her master's MRP (major research project) when I was ten, so some parts sailed over my head, but I kept borrowing her copy which had her annotations in it haha.
And then eventually I found my own copy and just kept re-reading. Is it 100% factual and true, no, but it's written very evocatively.
What is your favourite genre?
One of my favourites is probably historical fiction. I love reading stories of people from decades, or centuries ago who have problems not all too dissimilar to problems we face today.
The set dressing of historical periods is also pretty fascinating.
What non-fiction books do you like if any?
I enjoy reading history books (some personal recent favourites include Girls of Summer: in their own league about the AAGPBL, Prairie Fires which is a Laura Ingalls Wilder biography, and Radium Girls). I'm a big fan of political history - I've been trying to read the Power Broker for over a year! - and a bit military history in that I like reading about MASH units in Korea, and I like reading about the real-life 101st Airborne from Band of Brothers.
Finally, it's not exactly a guilty pleasure, but in case In Cold Blood doesn't make it obvious, I read a good amount of true crime. I've read almost everything Ann Rule has ever written, if nothing else.
(I was a criminology major for one year and then switched to psychology. I don't know if that helps explain this).
1, 2, 12 for the book ask
Book You've Re-Read the Most Times?
I'm admittedly a big re-reader, so there are many, many, many books I've re-read.
But if I had to pick one, probably The Hunger Games trilogy.
Top 5 Books of All Time
The Blind Assassin, Margaret Atwood
We Need to Talk about Kevin, Lionel Shriver
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Taylor Jenkins Reid
11/22/63, Stephen King
Holes, Louis Sachar
did you enjoy any compulsory high school readings?
I did! I actually really liked To Kill a Mockingbird.
Also it was compulsory for us in grade 10 to read Maus, which of course is excellent. (In grade 11 we had to read Indian Horse, which was good, and The Book Thief, which was also pretty good.)
top 5 books of all time?
what is the first book you remember reading yourself?
Lil! Thank you! 💜
Top 5 books of all time (i'm just going to keep listing favourites because I'm unpredictable like that lol).
Outlander, Diana Gabaldon (I first read it ten years ago this year, trying to feel closer to my Scottish roots)
Gods of Jade and Shadow, by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet, by Becky Chambers
The Tomorrow series, John Marsden
The Thief Lord, Cornelia Funke
First Book You Remember Reading Yourself
Easy. I'm sure I was reading books by myself before this, but the first book that really sticks with me that I remember reading was one of the Series of Unfortunate Events books (those are the best, I fear, if you want your daughters to have a strange sense of melancholy and an outsized vocabulary for a seven year old)
top 5 books of all time?
💜 An excellent question, and I'm also glad that I've gotten multiple of these lol because I have more than five answers.
(They're not in any particular order, lol)
This is How You Lose the Time War, Amal El-Mohtar & Max Gladstone
In Cold Blood, Truman Capote
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, Annie Barrows & Mary Ann Shaffer
The Hunger Games trilogy, Suzanne Collins
