🙄🥺💟❗ for the bookish asks, please!
🙄 what's a popular book that you dislike, but you'll get crucified if you say it?
I dont DISLIKE them per se… but Im not into the Harry Potter fandom. I have reasons for this we dont need to go into now. I would like to add, however, that I know a TON of secondhand knowledge and occassionaly reblog HP memes because when something is funny it’s funny XD Like the tumblr post about modern muggle kids dealing with Hogwarts’ lack of wifi. Also I think everyone I know agrees with my assessment that I would be a Hufflepuff.
🥺 what's a truly underrated book/series you recommend and wish the whole world would read?
City Between by W.R. Gingell! It’s the closest thing to a (clean except for some gore) urban fantasy mystery series I have yet seen and some parts are SO FUNNY and others are SO MOVING and yall should READ IT esp if you have Kindle Unlimited because they are ALL FREE WITH THAT!!!
đź’ź A book/character trope you can't get enough of?
I get way too much (slightly mean probably) DELIGHT out of the trope where a male character who is either very competent OR wants to be taken seriously is put in an awkward scenario outside his control and being really grumpy about it the whole time he’s trying to resolve the issue (also he has to have a good heart, but bonus points if he’s a scoundrel whose scoundrelness makes things even more awkward so he has to figure out how to be a better person). You get a side of hilarious mishaps and a rewarding end goal of good character growth, and I love this trope for that. (I probably should take less pleasure from seeing the doofs so annoyed or confounded that they lose their faculties, but dangit it’s SO FUNNY)
It’s not a book and no one will have heard of it, but one example I can think of is In The Name of the King 3. It is an indisputably bad movie and DONT bother with the first two (they arent even related aside from the general theme of “plunk a modern guy in the past in Vaguely Middle Ages land). But it does a HILARIOUS job of this trope by plunking a modern day contract killer in the past and him trying to figure out things like horseback riding and being objectively bad at it. And he comes through in the end and has a lovely character growth arc. :D
❗️what's your most anticipated release for 2022!!!
CITY BETWEEN BOOK 10 (BETWEEN KINGS) COMES OUT AT THE END OF DECEMBER AND I NEED IT, it’s the finale and we will at last learn all the things!!!
