now you know full well I cannot choose my top five anything......especially with no specific subheading so you asking me this is mean </3 but! I will give you top 5 books I've recently read! in no particular order:
In Memoriam by Alice Winn (made me cry. love)
The Starving Saints by Caitlin Starling (well. do I need to elaborate)
When The Moon Hits Your Eye by John Scalzi (suuuper enjoyed. funny and thoughtful)
All's Well by Mona Awad (LOVE WHEN WOMEN ARE FUCKED UP)
The Holdout by Graham Moore (technically I'm not done with this yet but thoroughly enjoying it so far)
15. recommend and review a book.
hmm..... a book I read a while ago is The Employees by Olga Ravn! a disjointed dystopian narrative that keeps your attention the whole time, supplemented incredibly well by the fact that the prose is awesome. isn't necessarily a new exploration of anything but what it does explore is sooo yummy. a great book to read if you want something short and weird!
20. what are things you look for in a book?
suuper depends!! I read a huge array of different things, and there's nothing that will necessarily always be interesting or uninteresting to me. I really enjoy weird books - formats, stories, characters - but also big fan of regular ol mysteries and such! if I had to say, more often than not I tend to look for stuff that doesn't feature romance heavily? or at least it's like, a weird romance that explores something specific 🙂↕️
so. some of you may know that it is my birthday today. some more of you may also know that @winnysatang is quite possibly the best person to ever exist on this earth. what none of you know yet is that for my birthday gift, fawn made me. covers. for my fics. she'd been planning this for MONTHS. SHE MADE COVERS WITH ART FOR MY FICS. SPECIFICALLY FOR MY WLW TINNGUN AU, WHICH REMAINS ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE AUS. WHICH IS JUST. I had to go hunt down a whole box of tissues which should tell you all you need to know.
anyway, this is super important for two reasons. the first and foremost is that, of course, fawn is my absolute favorite person ever and everyone should know how amazing she is. the second reason is this: today is september 24th, exactly 7 days before october. now, some of the longtime mutuals may know this, but every october I participate in both whumptober + flufftober, writing for every day (albeit a little late occasionally, but the spirit is there). so as a way to celebrate both my love for fawn + her work and my excitement for October Writing, I've decided to do a fun little pre-october series. for the next week, I'll post two of my wlw tinngun au fics and write a little blurb about them, along with fawn's artwork. hopefully this'll get people in the mood for some Dee Writing!
