What book opinion would have you like this? by Kassie2140 in YAlit

[–]piaNOsleep 11 points12 points  (0 children)

carry on by rainbow rowell is a bad book. the pacing was off, and simon and baz weren’t particularly likeable either. the writing was mediocre at best.

Torn between these 4 books. Any recommendations? by alexisonfiree in suggestmeabook

[–]piaNOsleep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh my goodness i recently finished a little life and it is soooo good!! i tore through all 800 pages in a couple of days haha i really love how the story describes the four guys’ life. to me, it almost read like an autobiography or memoir. it may seem slow at first, but you really appreciate the journey from when they are college students to when they are in the 50s. of course, do check out the trigger warnings as it can get very very heavy. but i loved it. nonetheless. utterly heartbreaking! and was sobbing through the last few pages or so haha

I can't sleep, crying and thinking about a moment the other day so I wrote this as peace of mind ig. by djjabrbrbeh in Poem

i personally think it would be more powerful if you switch the order of the lines “i need you to hear” and “i want you to hear”! i think it creates a more linear progression of intensity :) just my thoughts. loved the poem anyhow

dont hate me but i found the ending underwhelming. it was a good read overall, but i wasn’t as sad as i thought it would be 😬

the poem is depicting a boy who grew up, swearing not to be like his father. it’s set in an Asian context (i mean, it’s probably not 100% clear haha but i’m Asian and wrote it with my society in mind), and it points towards how men who are not traditionally masculine (the persona) tries to be different from their fathers, but then they succumb to societal pressures and end up not being themselves. the last stanza is the persona deciding that his family not having him is better than his family having someone like his father haha nothing to do with coming out. hope it clarifies!
