    I have already read it. For school unfortunately. I think I would have liked it better if it was for school.

     

    I was meaning Red White and Royal Blue fore the recommending sorry. I dont always talk super clearly.

    Ohhhhh 

    Yeah i reccomend red white and royal blue too! Its a quick fun read and has a wholesome message about the queer community and embracing yourself

    Its got a lot of smut though. So be warned of that

    Do you recommend it??

     

    Are you reading Lord of the Flies voluntarily or for school?

    Voluntarily 

    My school's literature class only had a thin book of short stories and merchant of venice 

    I do reccomend it.  I mean i tend to like classics, and this till now feels like a pretty good read. Not too difficult and its interesting to see how these school boys learn to shed their innocence as they fight for survival

    :DD 

    Ill also put a list here for people who're looking for such books. I can get why some of the greats or essentials of classics may come off as very preachy and wordy.

    These are the more modernised classics.

    1.One Hundred Years of Solitude- Gabriel Garcia Maquez 

    2.Notes From Underground- Fyodor Dostoevsky 

    3. Crime and Punishment- Fyodor Dostoevsky 

    4. Animal Farm- George Orwell

    5. 1984- George Orwell 

    6.Wuthering Heights- Emily Bronte 

    7.- Northanger Abbey- Jane Austen 

    8. The Picture of Dorian Gray- Oscar Wilde 

    9. H.G. Wells 

    10. The Princess Bride- William Goldman 

    11. The Secret History- Donna Tartt (definitely a recent classic as it was released like 30 years ago) 

    12. And I'm currently reading Lord of the Flies by William Golding and thats pretty good so far 

    13. The Catcher in the Rye (but its a dark and heavy read)

    14. The Haunting of Hill House- Shirley Jackson (horror)

    15. We Have Always Lived In The Castle- Shirley Jackson (horror)

    16. The Turn of the Screw- Henry James (horror)

    17. Short Stories by Henry James such as - The Romance of Certain Old Clothes (horror)

    Lets hope this hasn't been done before shall we 

    The rules are simple 

    Ask for a very specific book recommendation whilst answering a book recommendation from above 

    Once we have more than lets say 2 posts than you don't have to answer the post directly above you, you can answer any above you 

    That way people keep getting recommendations for what they want and others get to recommend books they have read that fit that criteria (or maybe if you're bored, spend time searching for books that fit that criteria)

    EDIT: crud. I forgot to start 

    Here 

    Im looking for a book with a morally grey protagonist that isn't depressed or genocidal all the time and has fun with being on the dark side 

    (Since we're just starting out, if you dont have an answer for this, simply post your criteria)

  12. Gratitude

    in General Discussion

    Posted

     I don't think this has been done before. 

    Basically the idea is, write something you're grateful for. Or more than one thing. Take a deep breath, relax and spend a few moments being grateful for this thing. It doesn't have to be something big. It can be anything. No matter what anyone tells you, if you're grateful for it then it matters. 

    I'll start it off. 

    I'm immensely, immensely grateful for Jack Edwards, a booktuber. His videos are always calm and chill and they've gotten me through some of the worst times in my life. They've kept my love for reading thriving and it is because of him I decided to go ahead with my plan for an English Degree, no matter what people told me about the job prospects.

    I'm also currently grateful for Lorde. Her music immediately makes me calm down and feel better.

    Unpopular opinion: in this world, ambition or a thirst for power is often looked down upon. You'll find an example of that in many books (such as Bartimaues) where his ambition leads to his downfall 

    Why? Why do we as society look down upon the urge to better ourselves? (i know many dont feel this way, i mean anti heros and underdogs exist) (but still) 

    Why do we shame wanting more? And being willing to work for it?

    Elf: This bloodline ends with me. 
    Morningtide: That's the fanciest way I've ever heard someone say "I'm gay". 

    Morningtide: Facepalm ain’t the problem this year. 
    Elf: When are you gonna get it? Facepalm is ALWAYS the problem. 

    Facepalm, about to leave the house: Don’t spend all day watching YouTube, okay? 
    Morningtide: I FORGE MY OWN PATH!! 

    Elf: Why do you think I don’t like you? I do. I would kill for you. 
    Elf: Ask me to kill for you. 
    Facepalm: ...First of all, calm down- 

    Elf: Facepalm, Morningtide, I love y’all and all, but can I ask what in the hell are you doing? 
    Facepalm, trying to stabilize a tower of folding chairs that Morningtide is sitting atop: Oh nothing much. 
    Morningtide: I love you too :)

    Facepalm: Hey Elf? 
    Elf: Yeah? 
    Facepalm: What's your favorite color of the alphabet? True or false?

    Elf, trying to warn about the location of an enemy: To the left! 
    Morningtide: Take it back now y'all!

    Drarry is cute but Tomarry help ;-;

    I do understand the power of a well written fic though so no judgement

    Tomarry has the same vibe as Darklina (from Shadow and Bone) 

    and idk something about that ship just gets me

    obviously tomarry could never be a healthy relationship, but something about the passion mixed with the darkness, and the fact that Tom is just pure evil in almost every tomarry fic just hits right.

    Oh.

    I don't pay really that much attention to actors, as long as they aren't terrible.

    But Dune is a really good movie that does the whole book adaption thing the right way.

    And part 2 comes out this year and I'm excited.

    oh timothee chamlet (probably havent spelled that right) was amazing in Dune
