12. Did you enjoy any compulsory high school readings?
I liked Romeo and Juliet (I did get in trouble for having the unbridged edition tho, lol) and Of Mice and Men, the rest were really not my thing.
18. Do you like historical books? Which time period?
Yes and no, sometimes they really annoy me, I have been reading more lately tho, I’m trying to read a book from every country, so it kind of just happens.
I haven’t noticed a pattern or preference for a time period, I did borrow 3 books at one time set within only a few years of one another once tho.

ok so this is another long shot but a few years ago there was a twitter post (in japanese i think?) that had measurememts for how to make this book stand thing out of cardboard that you could use to double up books and use up more space on shelves
back then i made a bunch of these but by now i lost the pic and dont know how to find the original post anymore
if it comes down to it i can just take one apart and get the measurements from there but i would be very grateful if anyone happens to have the original post or something similar??
don't mind how long it's been since i made this post, anyway i realized that i don't even need to take one apart to get the measurements when i can literally just unfold it and refold it /FACEPALM
so anyway here is the diagram for anyone else who is interested!!
this requires pretty big carboard pieces, if you have a really big box or something you can make it from one piece, but if you don't, you can also just make each of the pieces individually and then tape them together
and then in the end you put it together like this!!
and then when you make a bunch you can put them all next to each other and stack your books like crazy
EVERYONE START GETTING MORE USE OUT OF YOUR SPACE NOW!!!!
The entire Antlers Witch saga - the first six books in the Blackpines series - are free pn Amazon until August 21st, 2025!
Link to series: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BD4DBNP3
Summary for the first book:
Three years ago, Lucía disappeared without a trace. Three years ago, Maya packed her bags and went out into the night, determined to find her.
Harper, on the other hand, has never left his hometown of Blackpines, New Jersey. Life is lonely, but he tells himself he's fine with that—until he looks out the window one night and sees Maya standing on the lawn. Her reappearance heralds trouble, and it soon becomes clear that Lucía isn't the only one missing. What do the disappearances have to do with the mysterious figure known as the Antlers Witch? And why is the man who destroyed Harper's family back in town—and on the same hunt through the thick New Jersey pines?
The Ones Who Couldn't Let Go is the first book in a saga about queer family, coming-of-age, wolves, witch gods, and the quest to be okay.
Comments: A black-and-white, manga-inspired graphic novel follows a 14-year-old girl named Ev, who finds herself unexpectedly thrust into a 2,000-year-old legacy of hunting demons. To make matters worse, she has only one year to eliminate all 13 demons before they are reborn, or risk being killed herself. Sounds simple, right?
The opening of this graphic novel was amazing; it immediately grabbed my attention and made me want to know how Ev and her friend Jeannie ended up in such a dire situation. The first part was really interesting—though not as exciting as the opening—it still held my interest. However, I felt that the middle sagged a lot; the pacing felt off and a bit repetitive. I did put it down for a while, partly because I was sick and partly because it just wasn’t engaging me. But I eventually picked it up again and finished the book.
The second half was good but not as strong as the first part, and I wasn’t too happy with the ending. I felt that the story had reached a satisfying conclusion and didn’t need to end on a cliff-hanger.
Overall, I enjoyed the story. While I don’t think I’ll reread it, I’m glad I read it. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys stories featuring demons and said fighting of demons, as well as those who appreciate action-packed graphic novels and manga.
Thank you IDW Publishing for providing me this book for review consideration via NetGalley, all opinions are my own.
