new jersey's favorite doe-eyed goth

LAST BOOK I READ:  YOURSSSSSS <333333

A BOOK I’D RECOMMEND: I've been trying and mostly failing to get more people into Tales from the Flat Earth...... come to 1970s bisexual mythic fantasy with me...... come closer......

A BOOK I COULDN’T PUT DOWN: recency bias but I got so into The Luminous Dead that Audrey asked gently at one point if moving and/or eating at any point in a six-hour stretch would perhaps spark joy and I kind of growled at her

A BOOK I’VE READ TWICE OR MORE: Lord of the Rings for sure. am not a big rereader in adulthood but those get the treatment.

A BOOK ON MY TBR: Duval's Gold by Chris Hunt, i ADORED street lavender and I really want to spend some quality time with his work

A BOOK I’VE PUT DOWN: did not finish The Changing Light at Sandover. I had my good-time suspension-of-disbelief hat on and everything I was getting past all the parts where I had the instinct to roll my eyes and I still ended up DNFing because it pissed me off so much when they stumbled across one extremely interesting concept and then immediately went Anyway to a degree that would shame The CW

A BOOK ON MY WISHLIST: American Plastic: A Cultural History by Jeffrey Meikle. weird weird pull. it's research for a dnd setting (glampaign, for followers of @coolacanth) I've been slow cooking for a few years, about plastic as a mined substance with magical properties. unfortunately even used this book costs seventy three american dollars which I can't quite justify when I gotta finish the current campaign first. but Someday

FAVORITE BOOK FROM CHILDHOOD: probably percy jackson. i was also deeply attached to the Phantom Stallion books. they had to be taken from me at one point.

A BOOK I’D GIVE TO A FRIEND: honestly everyone should read History of Sound by hometown boy Ben Shattuck. gorgeous stuff

A BOOK OF POETRY OR LYRIC THAT I OWN: first one that comes to mind is American Primitive. reread it a few weeks ago. Yeah that's how it feels to lez out

WHAT I’M CURRENTLY READING: on a Death's Master (Tanith Lee) reread, working my way through the collected Robert Frost, and I picked up The Last Unicorn at basically complete random and have been working on that

WHAT I’M PLANNING ON READING NEXT: i wanna actually finish the legend of drizzt series. fell off around the Hunter's Blade trilogy (i knew i would hate it) and picked it back up for the Neverwinter Saga (knew I would love it) and then got distracted... but i do want to see more Dahlia. my girl.
