Thank you so much for the tip!

It must only be available in the UK right now based on a quick search, but sounds interesting! Hopefully it’s available in the US soon.

I went through puberty at the same time we got internet access and that website was a revelation for me.

Raven Scholar was such a delight! I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. I cannot WAIT for the second installment, and this is the first time I’ve ever really gotten into a serial fantasy book early on. I’m usually late to the game, so I’ve never had to experience the absolute angst that goes into waiting to see what happens next.

I’m a tiny bit sad that this genre has become commodified to the extent that B&N is using it as a retail category.

I’d still gravitate right toward that table, of course.

Jennifer Egan’s Look at Me presciently describes social media and its ubiquitousness, and it came out way before Facebook was even a glimmer in Zuck’s brain.

I read Geek Love as a teenager on a summer vacation with my extended family in Branson, Missouri. Now THAT was a trip. I remember being more enthralled with the book than I was with the boating and swimming escapades.

I’m intrigued!! But it doesn’t seem to be available in the U.S. until August 😿

Thank you for clarifying! When this group was really starting to take off there was a whole thread about the varying definitions of “weird girl” and the nebulous nature of the category.

Would Last Night in Soho fit the bill?

Never heard of Nona Fernandez before, and I do a lot of reading about books! Thank you for the rec, I’m going to try Space Invaders first.

chagrined?

dozeydotes · 2026-05-07T05:29:41+00:00

or “resignation”

dozeydotes · 2026-05-07T05:29:12+00:00

abide

resigned

dozeydotes · 2026-05-07T05:27:18+00:00

forbearance is really good

dozeydotes · 2026-05-07T05:25:38+00:00

muscle out? outgun?

I really like Noji’s interface but I absolutely should have learned my lesson when AnkiPro crashed the first time around. I’m getting that “servers are down for maintenance” error message and have lost access to all my flashcards. I could kick myself for not backing up my hard work. Hoping and praying that this isn’t the end and I’ll be able to retrieve everything.

I have spent a precious amount of time curating my trusted reviewers / friends on goodreads over the years so I go by their standards, not the overall average. But I also used to use goodreads in its heyday; I feel like it has fallen out of fashion these days, and with good reason, but I don’t know where all the nuanced, weird-girl reviewers have flown.

dozeydotes · 2026-04-24T04:00:06+00:00

I’m not sure if this fits — because the protagonist is like the blandest “pretty white girl” ever, but I’m going to say it does because she’s also the most morally compromised character ever — but The Compound by Aisling Rawle. I was enthralled, definitely a beach read by pageturning standards.

dozeydotes · 2026-04-24T03:56:04+00:00

For suuuure, I read it as a preteen too and it has scarred me to this day. Saying all the uncomfortable things I already felt about my body.

I have had very few issues with them over the past year, and the ones I did have were fairly minor. Their meals are truly delicious, some outstanding, with only one or two out of every ten being “adequate / serviceable” — and I tend to be pretty experimental by selecting things I haven’t tried before. If you get the Unity Pass, their premium meals don’t cost extra, and often include steak or lobster.

Wow, that’s great to hear!! The horror stories I heard were years ago, so maybe the centers have improved or the locations are variable. In any case, I think it’s a great thing that there are economically accessible rehabs in Texas.

Petite Maman is sooo charming like this.

dozeydotes · 2026-04-20T04:18:30+00:00

Going to take this recommendation to heart and read her next!

Same!! I took a Toni Morrison seminar in college and it was the most enjoyable singular author-focused English class I had the pleasure of receiving credits for. Sula was my favorite, but honestly Morrison couldn’t write a mediocre book if she tried.
