i love living in the internet age. i'm currently listening to a fairly serious book review that's citing other reviews and sources about disability rep and ableism, but if i wanted to cite one of these quotes, i'd have to say "Zeldawolf2000, 2023, as cited in Crow Caller, 2024"

I'm reading The Ables by Jeremy Scott again after stopping for a while and just one thing

If you're going to solve the problems your blind character has by giving them sight, then you probably shouldn't write a blind character

I’m never gonna let you guys forget that I basically screamed a reply back at a published author on twitter and they then liked it

Underappreciated Books: A Rec

Here are some books that are really underappreciated and I absolutely love!

The Ables by Jeremy Scott - This is a book I’m currently reading, and I’m absolutely in love with it. It’s about a boy who is disabled (he’s blind) with superpowers (specifically, telekenisis)! He meets friends who are also disabled with superpowers. Honestly, this book is SO so good. I love it so much.

The Inexplicable Logic Of My Life by Benjamin Alire Sáenz - You may recognize this book from my previous book rec. This book is a whole rollercoaster of emotions and I feel for every character! This book is about an adopted boy named Sal who goes through highschool, and as he does this he finds out more and more about his past and who he truly is. It’s so heartwarming, plus there’s LGBT representation as well!

The School For Good And Evil by Soman Chainani - This has been my favorite book for YEARS! What’s better than not one magic school, but two? Sophie, a known “good girl” and Agatha, a known “bad girl” get kidnapped and taken to the infamous schools for good and evil, which Sophie has been gushing to Agatha about. It doesn’t necessarily go to plan, though, which ensues plenty of interesting events. This book is what really got me into writing, and I adore it.

Welcome, Last Argument Of Kings by Joe Abercrombie, to the list of ‘Books I Had To Put Down BecausHOLY FUCK THAT MOMENT WAS INTENSE!’ 

That whole Better Left Buried chapter... I’m speechless.

(Other such books on this list include The Silmarillion/The Children of Húrin by J.R.R Tolkien and The Ables by Jeremy Scott)
