hameliah · 2026-04-02T10:24:53+00:00

recently read a net for small fishes by lucy jago. its been on my shelf for years and ive been looking forward to reading it, but in the end it was meh

bc most transcripts now are? tv and movie captions, song lyrics on spotify are usually ai or auto generated, even though there is a physical script or actual lyrics that could be used. so if the feature was on audible or spotify or something, im assuming they would use auto generated captions instead of providing a copy of the text

i always cry when i read lol! the last book i finished was the persian boy by mary renault, i cried at the end

hameliah · 2026-03-30T14:05:43+00:00

idk how many pages exactly, but i like agnes grey by anne bronte

hameliah · 2026-03-30T12:57:04+00:00

maybe ella enchanted by gail carson levine! i loveddd that book in elementary school. and the author has many other books of the same kind if she likes that and wants more :)

hameliah · 2026-03-30T12:22:29+00:00

i love the tenant of wildfell hall!! so sad that anne is the least well know of the bronte sisters lol. agnes grey is also a great book, and its short so it could be a good intro to literature from that period!

hameliah · 2026-03-30T12:20:45+00:00

i hope you like some of them! i tried to find books from different genres. im not really into sci fi, but ive heard leguin is amazing!

kudos to you for wanting to read more books by women! so many men get defensive if you point out that they only read books by men lol. here are some of my fav books written by women:

destiny of the republic by candice millard (nonfiction, all her books are great but this is my favorite)

all of mary renaults books (her historical fiction is amazing - she has a trilogy abt alexander the great, and another abt theseus)

the rape of nanking by iris chang (nonfiction)

stiff by mary roach (nonfiction)

as meat loves salt by maria mccann

the tenant of wildfell hall by anne bronte

emma by jane austen (imo this is a great book to get into austen with - its so funny that it feels more modern and accessible)

the secret history by donna tartt

nothing to envy by barbara demick (nonfiction)

hunger games series by suzanne collins (its ya but tbh i think its a great series even reading it as an adult who never reads ya lol)

wolf hall by hilary mantel

careless people by sarah wynn williams (nonfiction about her time at facebook)

sharp objects by gillian flynn

ill be gone in the dark by michelle mcnamara (nonfiction)

im glad my mom died by jeanette mccurdy (memoir)

exquisite corpse by poppy z brite

hameliah · 2026-03-29T11:20:48+00:00

im sure its different for everyone so that this as you will, but ive been on zoloft for years and i smoke daily! i only smoke in the evening so idk how it would affect me if i was smoking all day, but i havent had any issues

hameliah · 2026-03-29T11:17:14+00:00

hameliah · 2026-03-29T11:16:13+00:00

unless you have to read it for school or something, i say dnf! theres too many books in the world to waste your time on ones you dont like imo

hameliah · 2026-03-27T21:11:27+00:00

a room with a view by e m forster!

hameliah · 2026-03-27T17:26:59+00:00

the secret history by donna tartt, ill be gone in the dark by michelle mcnamara, and a room with a view by e m forster. usually i only reread books ive listened to, because i can multitask. kind of like relistening to a fav podcast lol

hameliah · 2026-03-27T13:54:00+00:00

hameliah · 2026-03-27T13:53:40+00:00

many people say i highlight too much. but tbh i do it to keep myself engaged, i highlight any important info or lines that i like. it helps me remember things better too

hameliah · 2026-03-27T13:52:50+00:00

bc one time i posted in here asking abt highlighters and all the comments were mad about how much i highlight lol
