The atmosphere of it all ✨ it really reminded me of my grandma's hometown and how I feel each time I go there. I also enjoyed the dream aspect so idk what Johns' professor was smoking. this is more of literary horror than horror horror, so don't go into this expecting that. the horror here is grief. I've come to find I really enjoy these more literary-type horrors that explore loss, grief and other strong emotions through horror elements. it's just so delicious every time 🤌

I do love folktales and books taking place in the woods, so this duology delivered in that aspect. I did enjoy the first book more than the second one. Silver's character started grating on me in that one. bonus for the gays and the cat

gay angels being gay and hedonistic. gorgeous, lush prose and very horny without much actual horniness. a two-part tragedy, sacrilegious and not for the faint of heart. I did take a long time reading the first part because it felt like it was just dragging on with constant descriptions of the hedonistic lives of angels in heaven.

a fiction novel following a Palestinian family living in the occupied West Bank. this book portrays the different ways that Palestinians respond to occupation and asks what the right way to resist it is. the book does not really answer this question and leaves it up to the reader. it definitely made me think

A good resource for debunking regular Zionist talking points! (not that they are likely to care 🙄)

Israel and the US always at the scene of the crime...

In all seriousness, a very important read! a thorough accounting of how Israel's weapon industry is based on testing their weapons on the Palestinian people and then using their "battle-tested" status as a selling point. Israel also does not care who it sells weapons to and its weapons have been used in countless massacres, war crimes and genocides. And if you are a violent anti-Semite? no matter, we will sell to you too! (the irony) 

anyway, I'm angry. Free Palestine, down with the occupation!

a moving poetry collection full of anger, longing, and loss but with a spirit of resistance and hope

even if you have not tried poetry before, try this one 

a stunning collection of poetry about brown Muslim girlhood, violence against women, the silent hurts women carry, and the expectations that fundamentalist religions place on women. very raw prose that will make your soul ache

this book is mostly romance-based and I just couldn't believe in the romance when Achilles was such a shallow character. yeah, he's hot, but what else? why is Patrolocus in love with him? I couldn't understand it. pretty writing tho
