Oreo - she/her - 22

A place to talk about books and similar things (there's going to be a loooot of Outsiders for a while). Main blog is @oreozfox .

Just Finished: a concurrent reading of Lolita and My Dark Vanessa at the suggestion of a friend

Currently Reading: A Court of Thorns and Roses

Reading Next: The Outsiders and My Sweet Audrina

This blog is not 18+ at the moment (this could change), but I will be reading many books with dark/taboo subject matter. Be warned.

I really like this russian edition of classic books. Letting famous artists do the covers in YA style was such a simple but clever decision. According to the recent study the number of teenage readers increased, possibly thanks to these covers. I own traditional classics with blank covers but if I ever see one of these in the wild, it’ll probably make me go feral.

Here are some of my favs:

Dracula (art by Renibet)

2.Jane Eyre (art by Ulunii)

3. Little women (art by чаки чаки)

4. The Idiot (the hedgehog-omg-) (art by Xinshi)

5. Pride and Prejudice (art by Cactusute)

6. War and Peace (art by Xinshi)

7. Wuthering Heights (art by Renibet)

8. The Great Gatsby (art by NIKEL)

9. Frankenstein (art by Iren Horrors)

10. Crime and Punishment (art by REDwood)

11. Anna Karenina (art by Ulunii)

12. The Cherry Orchard (art by lewisite)

13. The Master and Margarita (art by Renibet)

This has been complained about before and I know that but like.

It’s incredible to me that there’s a whole side of social media, defined by reading books, who don’t have enough reading comprehension to understand metaphors.

“Haha he growled?! Like a wolf?!” He used a more gravely and intense tone that is metaphorically referred to as “growling” due to the association with danger and anger. There. Is that what you want? Is that what you want to read? No more interesting prose or personification in book? No more alluding to animal-like behaviors in order to draw a connection?? No more scampering??? Are you for real??? No more fucking scampering?????

saw someone say "plutarch heavensbee they could never make me form a solid opinion on you" and I felt that.

I’m so sorry but in the nicest way possible do yall actually read books or just read words??? Cause I’ve been seeing that trend of people not understanding how “snarled” and “eyes darkened” and “eyes softened” etc. was used in a book and like…

Genuinely, do yall just not have imagination?? Or not understand figurative language??? Also eyes do literally darken and soften have you not lived a life??? How do you read with no imagination? Is this how you get through so many books in one month - you simply don’t take the time the understand the words as they are read?

in 2026 i am wishing for all of us the energy of bilbo baggins, who was headhunted for an extremely well paid role he had no qualifications or experience for, blagged the interview, and within his first week found a magic ring that does the job for him
