🤗🤗🤗💖💖💖

congrats on one year lovely!! im a little late to the beach but im hoping to sit away from the water and get some reading done 🤔 i am a SUCKER for murder mystery of any kind, i love anything where all the pieces come together in a satisfying way and of course a good twist reveal!! buuuut that being said I am also a lover of anything written by neil gaiman, always a go to for me

i hope you’re having a wonderful day, no worries if none of this is up your street!! this is pretty much just me popping in for a chat as well 🖤

hi mavis!!!!! im so glad to see u!!!

i've seen that you really like richard osman, is that right? i don't read a ton of thrillers/murder mysteries because i am boring but am trying to read more of them!! i also adore neil, so hopefully a few of these are things you'd be in to!!

-The Locked Tomb series by Tamsyn Muir. I recommended this on another post but it's really one of my favorite series. It's got mystery (like, so much mystery, honestly I didn't know what the hell was going on most of the time) and it's really brilliant writing and it has the logical and emotional layers that I feel I get from lots of Gaiman's work, too. It is def hard sci-fi/fantasy, but it's got literally countless twist reveals that are so entertaining I am going to be rereading the first three books soon (the fourth comes out in October).

-You might have read him, but anything by Phillip Pullman! His Dark Materials was my favorite series as a kid and I re-read it a few years ago and it holds up very well. Again, much closer to Gaiman than a murder-mystery, but really so good. And it's got a new series in the same universe called The Book of Dust that is more adult than the original trilogy!

-A few other authors like Neil that I've enjoyed are Alix E. Harrow and Nnedi Okorafor.

-A coworker of mine loves mysteries and she really enjoyed Anthony Horowitz, who I have no doubt you've heard of/read. I wish I had more murder recs for you, I am going to endeavor to read some!! Please let me know where to start <3

I don't even know where to start???? I can't even form coherent words cuz all that's going on in my mind rn are incoherent screams of either AAAAAAAAAAAA or OMGOMGOMG collapsing with the part of me that wants to ugly sob and cry until my eyes are dry because.. I can't believe Songs About Toxic People has already come to an end 😭😭

It feels like the fic had accompanied me in such a long journey, stumbling across the fic is the best thing that ever happened to meeeeeee,,, like,, I'd thank God for letting me be a part of this wonderful journey, but I don't believe in God, SO I THANK YOUUUU ANRI

Thank you for all your hard work and dedication oh my goshh, Thank you for the time and effort invested in this masterpiece,

THANK YOU for blessing me (and all your other readers <3) with your one-of-a-kind writing 😭

(there's so much more I wanted to say but my brain is not thinking tots rn,, IM LIKELY TO SEND MORE ASKS IF MY BRAIN DECIDES TO THINK JUST KNOW THAT IM ABSOLUTELY FORMING INTO A PUDDLE OF TEARS RN AND THAT ILYY)

BEL 😭😭 you always make me cry….. will forever be thankful for all your heartfelt comments and tags (lmao) and rb’s on my chapters!!! 😭 your support means everything to me and believe me when i say it’s become one of my sources of motivation ahaha forreal!!! i don’t think i’ve ever gotten comments on any of my fics as sweet and as enthusiastic before yours and it’s been a constant source of joy, knowing that my words touched someone in some way. i need you to know that i’m just as glad to have you with me on this journey, too, and i probably would not have made it this far without your screaming in the tags ahahaha.

thank you, thank youuuu so much giving my fic a chance, picking it up, reading, and even taking the time to tell me how it made you feel!!! 🥺 it’s been a fun, interesting, and at times gruelling time writing those 15 chapters ahaha but readers like you (ESPECIALLY YOU!!!) make the writing such a pleasure.
