omg did wordpress bring back the classic editor 😭

really frustrated with wordpress overall and not sure how much im committed to a full fledged blog. but would people be interested in a more casual blog on tumblr? short reviews, reblogs of other bookish stuff, and the like?

book blogger friends! what other hosts do you use besides wordpress? preferably free for now :)

that moment when you realize all the social networks you've built up for years are nothing now due to age or capitalism or people just not liking you anymore and now you're left with no one except books and your reptiles.

nicole!!!! welcome!! 💗

truly a unique experience as someone in the reptile hobby witnessing the insanity that is the venomous snake owner who apparently free handles his hot snakes. who is now in the hospital.

i promise we're not all like that. some of us actually like our animals and our lives at the same time.

Okay as I WAS WRITING BEFORE THE EARTH SHOOK

That dumbass fucking around with hots who got bit by his tai pan, a snake he bragged on freehandling like the fucking dumb ass he is

Every life is precious, even a dumbass. If a zoo doesn't share antivenin, here's the usual reason....

putting LEECH by hiron ennes on a sapphic book list is truly heinous.

that's it, that's the tweet.

god I'm JUST seeing that there's a sapphic september event going on and all i can say is DONT use the Sapphic Horror list on storygraph. just dont. give me a couple days and I'll make a different one.

Sapphic Horror For those who enjoy horror and want it to be sapphic 💜 Originally from a recommendation thread...

app.thestorygraph.com/reading_chal...
for those curious. I've only read 24 of these, with some of them being years ago. I'd love insight into some of the other books if y'all have them, but at least from the ones I've read, I'm just flabbergasted!

corn maze!! Is there mention of a sapphic relationship? Yes. Does that mean it's sapphic horror? NO!!!

I'm so just gonna start making my own lists after this, the more books are added, the angrier i get 😭

a simple book list shouldnt bother me this much but first i noticed multiple books with nonbinary protagonists being included, and then i realized other books included were just entirely missing the point.

What Stalks Among Us is *queer* horror. The protagonists are queer and the plot is a freaky+

by Hiron Ennes would not be sapphic horror.

I wouldnt even consider a book with a sapphic MC where the relationship/partner is not a main part of the story to be SAPPHIC horror because its not the POINT, especially since this "sapphic horror list" is specifically focused on messy girls and such.

side characters or pairings as reasoning to include them on this list.

that is NOT sapphic horror. books on the list that ARE sapphic horror would be something like BLOOM by Delilah S Dawson or Queen of Teeth by Hailey Piper.

Needless to say, What Moves the Dead by T Kingfisher or Leech +

genuinely losing it at this list challenge on storygraph, titled "sapphic horror" in which it has several books that ARE horror, but don't even have sapphic characters.

some of them seem to consider the "sapphic" part to be nonbinary/non-gendered characters, or are simply taking very minimal +

i literally JUST got past that part 😂

this hits extra hard as someone playing through the bioshock games for the first time.....

"im not owned! im not owned!!", i continue to insist as i slowly shrink and transform into a bioshock villain

i say as i get upset about a former boss sending me a minimum wage part time job meant for high schoolers .....

thank you. for everything <3

Reviews of Trans and/or Non-Binary Literature by Trans and/or Non-Binary Reviewers This is a work in progress! last updated: 8/7/2024 This list is based on my late friend’s original list on their blog, Corey’s Book Corner. My friend, Corey Alexander (also known as Xan West), was a d...

slowly but surely getting Corey's list updated and added to. mostly focusing on restructuring and adding reviews to books that are currently on there, but i'm soooo excited to add newer books. let me know what y'all are thinking so far!!

I've been trying to work through some old netgalley requests and i have to question past!me and my choices. why did i ask for so many nonfiction books? i don't read nonfiction that much. certainly not this much.

true true true🤔i do much prefer going by author last name, but i also know not everyone will remember that.

hmmm 🤔do i keep the list as alphabetical by title, or go with my inner librarian and do author last name?

yes!!! of course!! unfortunately this list has kind of gone inactive for several years since the original creator passed, but its been a passion project of mine to keep it going, especially looking back at how much i used it. I'm going to try my best to keep it going now! 💗

fun fact! i've officially ported all of the books that still have reviews (and the few i've collected and added myself) to a spreadsheet and this list has 550+ reviews!!! holy moly!!!
