"Normality is the creepiest madness there is. This was all insane, yet it was so right."

... reading is sexy ...
A one-sentence book review for everything I've read so far this year:
The Employees by Olga Ravn: I still don't know what the hell I read.
Revolting Prostitutes by Molly Smith and Juno Mac: "Laws are threats made by the dominant socioeconomic ethnic group in a given nation."
Sourcery by Terry Pratchett: A lot more fun than The Color of Magic, I'll grant ya that.
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury: I don't want to live in this book, yet here I am.
Peter Darling by Austin Chant: Not something I would have ever shipped, but he made it work.
Death in Yellowstone by Lee H Whittlesey: DON'T PET BEARS.
The Heretic Prince and The Renegade King by Theo J Malloy: I NEED the last book in this trilogy NOW.
Down in the Sea of Angels by Kahn Wong: Better than his first book, but somehow the plotline with the psychic powers was the most boring part of the story.
The Memory Police by Yoko Ogawa: I'm just gonna stare into the void for a moment.
Strange Houses by Uketsu: I think this is why I don't read a lot of mystery books.
Lady's Knight by Kaufman and Spooner: AND THEN THEY KISSED!
Beloved by Toni Morrison: Racism is seriously the worst.
Ring Shout by P Djeli Clark: Badass.
Monstrilio by Gerardo S Córdova: I dunno why I expected this book to be more normal, but my god it is a ride!
The Bright Sword by Lev Grossman: TheknightshadswordsandMorganwasreallycoolandNimuewasthebestandseriouslyfuckMerlinand
...
Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes: God, life ain't fair, is it?
American Sirens by Kevin Hazzard: Remember what I said about racism being just the worst?
Gwen and Art are Not in Love by Lex Croucher: If you're choosing between this and Lady's Knight, pick Lady's Knight.
A Gentleman's Gentleman by TJ Alexander: It was nice.
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley: Why are you sending your sister this very long, weird, and rambly letter?
Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire: Ever wonder what happens to those kids after they come home from getting isekai'd?
Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao: He had it comin'!
I Am Legend by Richard Matheson: Darn vampires keep throwin' rocks at me!
At Thirty I Realized I Had No Gender by Shou Arai: Don't mind me; I'm just taking notes.
Fledgeling by Octavia Butler: I... am not quite sure what to say.
Yellowface by RF Kuang: June... don't do that.
Gender Outlaw by Kate Bornstein: Why are we still having the same gender discourse thirty years after this was written?
as someone who used to post here constantly every single day, i just wanna say it's genuinely really healing to get off social media entirely and do something else.
