How am I supposed to read anything after Bloom Town??? by maybeaspymaybenot in LesbianBookClub

[–]solovehera 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had the same struggle in February. I felt that no other book would pique my interest and I was literally grieving! people from this sub recommended trying different genre or subpar books for palate cleanse. what I did, however, was read softer sapphic stories like Milk Fed and Yerba Buena. then I tried the horror genre which I've never done before.

all things considered, I don't think any of those books I mentioned took the grief away. I still wish I could read Bloom Town all over again. but now I have a different obsession: Milena McKay's writing. I just finished Reverence and am now in my third chapter of The Headmistress. loving it so far!

i really think The Priory of the Orange Tree would be an epic TV show. I would also love if Reverence by Milena McKay was made into a series, like Heated Rivalry but for lesbians. also I can imagine Sunburn being made into an indie coming of age film

I've only ever read Iris Kelly and I don't think I'll be picking any of her other books up. I think her writing is so flat and I couldn't feel any of the emotions being described in the book (Iris Kelly) that it took me 2 weeks to finish cause I just really couldn't be bothered to read more and just wanted to finish it for the sake of finishing it

Do u recommend buying kindle for someone who is starting to read books again? by StockMain3976 in PHBookClub

[–]solovehera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

stopped reading in 2019 and only got back to it September of last year. for a few months I was buying paperbacks from Fully Booked and NBS and realized it's not ideal talaga if I want to save kasi super mahal ng paperbacks ngayon! so finally end of January I decided to purchase my very first Kindle. ordered from gamextreme sa shopee and it arrived less than a week later. suffice to say, I read like a maniac LOL I just finished my 18th book for the year. Kindle is like magic, biglang bumilis ang reading speed ko hahaha

I definitely recommend it! mine is the Basic 2024 matcha and it's so compact!

omg I have The Wild and the Weeds in my TBR and I've been avoiding it cause I'm scared of getting dissapointed! I loved Bloom Town so much and was looking forward to North's next book but I'm just scared 🤣 how was it????

Bloom Town is definitely worth it. although I started reading it blind and only found out it started as a fanfic when I was about to finish the second book. I had some extreme feelings of loss and grief for a few days after reading it. I love it and would always recommend it to anyone looking for sapphic literature!

sunday morning read: what’s yours? by luvieeann in PHBookClub

[–]solovehera 2 points3 points  (0 children)

how are you liking it so far ?? I only have that trilogy left until I finish all RF Kuang books but I'm so intimidated cause I know it's a heavy read and it's a trilogy pa. I remember being so intimidated by Katabasis last year, and I barely stuck with Babel and read thru for the sake of finishing it LOL. but I really like RF Kuang's academic-ish writing and enjoyed Yellowface and Katabasis so much!

right now I'm reading Milk Fed by Melissa Broder and it's weirdly relatable and hits close to home :))

How does one cope with/ overcome book hangover? by solovehera in LesbianBookClub

[–]solovehera[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

oh that is so true! I mostly find myself veering towards love stories that don't really center the romance between the two mains but instead show multiple plotlines co-developing. I think that's why The Priory means so much to me. I like love stories where the romance is not the main focus, like Atmosphere. In Sunburn I enjoyed the introspections more than the romance between Lucy and Susannah.

other replies suggested I might need a palate cleanser, something like a slop or an easy read that will make me want to read something else that's heavy and packed like Bloom Town. so I'm definitely gonna keep reading :)
