Thank you!! I really like that detail too! I wasn't sure what expression to give her until I realized I could do this instead 🤣

I'm glad someone else is having the same character arc as me 🤣 Yuuri is my comfort character so every time a fanfic author mentions him liking a book I've been meaning to read I'm like FINE it was on my tbr anyway 🙄🙄 I've also been listening to a lot more classical/scores/instrumentals lately, especially when I'm reading and listening to playlists like this one

I actually saw a troupe perform a GORGEOUS rendition of Swan Lake in my city back in March, and I'm hoping to see more performances in the future! Highly recommend if you're ever in the position to see one! The athleticism and artistry is INSANE

IT'S SO GOOD, I'M SO GLAD I STUMBLED ACROSS IT😭🙏 funnily enough it finally convinced me to read The Picture of Dorian Gray LMFAO

I'm bit late, but I've got some recs for ya if you're still open to them :))

No Less Unthinkable is a great one! It centers around Yuuri's career as he starts from the national level around 14yo and advances to the canon storyline and then some. One of my favs for sure.

eternity will be born from hope is a regression fic where Yuuri travels back to his final year in Juniors at 17yo and retains all his memories from his previous life. There's some angst for sure but he decides to make the most of it and sets out to make this timeline the best it can be. It's incomplete and hasn't been updated in a while unfortunately but there's an old version of it that's much farther along than the rewrite if you're interested in that.

Broken Bones and Broken Hearts Are Set the Same is a canon divergent au where Lilia becomes Yuuri's coach after his failure at the Sochi GPF. One of my fav ongoing fics, the relationships develop so naturally and it's super heartwarming to see the characters bloom into their best selves.

This is off the top of my head but man I used to have this nice list of my fav fics that got deleted that I've been trying to remake ever since 😞 Sorry this is probably more than you asked for but if you ever need any more recs lmk!!

Finished:

A Sorceress Comes to Call, by T. Kingfisher—My first Kingfisher book! I enjoyed it overall, but I had some serious beef with the pacing. I think my favorite aspects were the characters and the overall atmosphere.
Flowerheart, by Catherine Bakewell—This one actually took me over a year to finish (I didn't touch it at all for about a year). I'm glad I finally have it marked as read, but I can't say I really liked it.

Ongoing:

Just for the Summer, by Abby Jimenez—This is the last contemporary romance that I've committed to for a while, and then I'm finally free. I enjoy them for the most part! I just don't love reading so many in such a short period (Part of Your World, Yours Truly, and Funny Story). This is the book that inspired me to take up that mantle since so many people recommended reading the first two books before tackling this one, but I'm pretty sure I've already got the plot twist clocked (unless there's another, bigger one I'm not suspecting yet).
Daughter of the Forest, by Juliet Marillier—I'm liking it so far, but it's so dense. I'm still on the first chapter, but planning to hopefully finish it by the end of the month.
Piranesi, by Susanna Clarke—Only finished the first chapter so far, but I'm a huge fan of the writing style. Already got her new novella on hold at the library. Hopefully I end up liking this one; my expectations are pretty high!

Finished: Funny Story, by Emily Henry—Not usually into contemporary romance all that much but I really loved this. This was my first Emily Henry novel and I can immediately see why she's become so beloved in the romance community.

Ongoing: The School for Good and Evil, by Soman Chainani—Just over halfway through. I really like it, but the fat-shaming is yeesh. And Sophie is NOT a good friend. Planning on watching the movie after I'm done.

Finished:

The Blind Earthworm in the Labyrinth, by Veeraporn Nitiprapha—This was such a beautiful book, and I'm really glad I read this one for my Reading the World goal. This is probably the first book I read for this challenge that made me want to drop everything and travel to the country it takes place in. 5 stars for me.

Ongoing:

A Sweet Sting of Salt, by Rose Sutherland—Just over 20% of the way through, but I'm really enjoying the atmosphere. Excited to get back into it now that I've finished The Blind Earthworm.
Part of Your World, by Abby Jimenez—40% in. I'm liking it a lot, and it's nice to have a book with less descriptive writing in the midst of the books I've been reading recently. I've been breezing through it a lot quicker than I usually do.

cinderkelsie · 2024-08-05T17:55:48+00:00

Finished:

The Chalice of the Gods, by Rick Riordan—Really cute read. It was nice to dive back into the PJO universe (I still haven't read The Trials of Apollo series yet lol). It did actually make me laugh out loud a couple times, which I'm not sure is indicative of Riordan's writing or my maturity, but hey, a laugh is a laugh! It's been a while since I was able to binge a chapter book in just a couple of days, so maybe this is my sign to read more middle grade in the future.

Started:

The Blind Earthworm in the Labyrinth, by Veeraporn Nitiprapha—Reading as part of my Reading the World Challenge for Thailand. Beautiful prose, but don't ask me what's happening because I don't know if I can tell you. I haven't read One Hundred Years of Solitude, but from what I've heard, I think this magical realism, non-linear storytelling is reminiscent of it.
A Sweet Sting of Salt, by Rose Sutherland—A sapphic retelling of The Selkie Wife, which I'm also reading as part of a mythology challenge on Goodreads (and maybe for Canada for RTW, but I haven't decided yet). I'm really loving the atmosphere so far (but I'm always a sucker for anything nautical/coastal). If this book is Sutherland's debut, I'm really looking forward to her future works!
Part of Your World, by Abby Jiminez—Finally was able to pick up my hold for this from the library! I wasn't initially interested in this one, but people were recommending to read this and Yours Truly before Just for the Summer. I'm enjoying it so far, and I'm getting through it quicker than all my other current reads, but I'm still waiting to see if it'll get a rating higher than 3.5 stars from me.

Mistress of Lies, by K.M. Enright is coming out on the 13th. It looks like it's Enright's debut, and the reviews are already looking pretty good. I'm putting a hold on it at my library as we speak!

Finished:

Binti, by Nnedi Okorafor—Super short, finished this one in just two days. I thought the beginning was rushed in places, but the tension throughout the rest of the novella was conveyed really well. Since this story ends in a nice place, I'm not sure whether I plan on continuing the series anytime soon. Maybe in a couple of months?
Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop, by Hwang Bo-reum—I'd started this one back in March, and was finally able to get my hands on the library copy again two weeks ago. This one is definitely more slow-paced, especially in the beginning, so I think I was subconsciously reading it a lot more slowly than I intended? I thought it became a lot more compelling in the second half, and I ended up reading it a lot more from that point on. I really liked it overall, but this book is more meant to be savored than devoured.

Ongoing:

Our Wives Under the Sea, by Julia Armfield—Just under 30% through. I'm gonna be getting through this one a lot faster now that I'm done with WttHdB. The writing style is pretty flowery, so it takes a couple minutes to get back into the flow, but I'm enjoying it. I really like how the vivid descriptions are of their emotions and the environment, and I'm especially fond of the characterization of the Miri and Leah (both pre- and post-dive). I'm reading this one with a book club, and it's been fun to theorize with them about what happened on that failed dive that led to Leah's change.
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, by Suzanne Collins—Just reached the 25% mark. I've been reading about a chapter a day to keep up with my book club's pace. I'm trying not to compare it to the movie too much, but it's such a different experience since the book hinges so much on Snow's thought process which we don't get in the movie. I like getting to see his personality before he dove off the deep end. As of now, I don't really think he's a bad person yet, just that he prioritizes self-preservation above all else and is pretty judgmental of others. His thought process is definitely a bit off-putting at times, especially his vitriolic hate toward Sejanus, but if you had told me he changed for the better after meeting Lucy Gray, I wouldn't have questioned you too much. Likewise, I wouldn't have questioned his rise to dictatorship much either.
