immediate tbr

I don't do monthly TBRs or anything, but due to the nature of how fucking big the book wall is, I do tend to pull ten or so books at a time--so here's what I'm gonna be reading next.

Tigerheart's Shadow by Erin Hunter
This is part of my warrior cat re-read, moving on.

Gemini Smile, Gemini Kill by Robert Lory
I read The Revenge of Taurus not too long ago. Fucking loved with. Primo stupid cheesy eighties horror--hoping for the same from this one. Forever pissed off that this series only has four books instead of twelve, because if it's zodiac-themed, Robert, write all twelve. 

 The Stranger Beside Me by Ann Rule
No, I have not read this massively popular true crime book. What can I say, Bundy's never been one of my favorites--but it's also one of the most iconic true crime novels of all time, so I figure I might as well pick it up sooner rather than later. Fun fact, this edition is so old that it refers to Bundy in present tense, even on the back cover, because he had not been executed yet.

The Dirt by Tommy Lee, Mick Mars, Nikki Sixx, Vince Neil [Motley Crue]
Love musician memoirs. Love Motley Crue. Loved the movie--figured it was time to pick up the book.

Everything's Eventual by Stephen King
Technically, this one's a re-read. Short stories--not my favorite King short story collection, but one that I do enjoy. It's got some good stories in it and some nice fucking DT references (including "The Little Sisters of Eluria", which literally as Roland as the main character).

I Hate Myself and Want to Die by Tom Reynolds
This is just some guy talking about a bunch of depressing songs. Seemed up my alley.

Pyro-kinesis: Moving Matter With the Mind by Adrian V Clark
AKA, a book that Carrie White would have checked out from the library.

Meddling Kids by Edgar Cantero
Been wanting to read this one for a long, long time. The cover is fucking gorgeous, and the concept is cool--I'm ready.

An Instance of the Fingerpost by Iain Pears
Okay, the book wall gave me this one and I don't have anything to say about it.

The Outsider by Stephen King
I know I know I know, I haven't read The Outsider yet. I know. But look, I'm getting to it now. I also haven't read The Institute, Sleeping Beauties, Elevation--I'm behind, man.

Dancing with Myself by Billy Idol
Again, musician memoir.

War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy
The book wall gave me this one, too, also it's going to be. A fucking. Trip. I'm not scared of big books but I am a little scared of Leo Tolstoy.

obligatory new year blog post

-
So, it's 2019. There are a few questions to ask. What did I do last year? I started this blog, and posting regularly. While this isn't like anything very many people read (I average ~20 views a post, hollaaaaaaaa), I do like it, and I think it's a way for people do kind of understand my voice if they're curious on whether I can actually write or not. I mean, this is different from my fiction, but, well, I mention I write in my videos, now you can decide whether I'm kidding myself or not. Speaking of writing, this year's projects were... a novella for class, a first draft, a first draft that I abandoned (i'm sorry i still really like this idea maybe some other time), a decision that I Need To Rewrite The Pet Project Again, a first draft, a revision of what I'm currently calling my best work but I'm looking at another round of revision this coming year, a first draft, a rewrite that taught me yeah I can't do fantasy, and a NaNoWriMo that cons

TOP 19 OF 2023

-
 Another year is done, and that means it's time for my TOP 19 of 2023. This is, top ten books, top seven movies, top artist a la Spotify, and top game that I finished . No re-reads allowed, and also no re-watches, and I haven't played enough games for that to be an issue.  So, first up, easiest thing out of the way: according to Spotify, what was my top artist?  It was Marianas Trench. I listened to Ever After and Fix Me a whole lot this year. Over and over and over again. It has Aughts Boys reasons, I guess.  Top game? I actually finished four games this year. My favorite was definitely Pesterquest , mostly because when I got to the Dirk one at the end Unite: Synchronization started playing and I started crying, like, a little, and also I didn't let myself look up how to get good ends for any of them except for Dirk, because sue me, I'm a Dirk girl, and I just thought, you know, to myself, as it goes, like, WWDSD? And the answer was definitely look up how to win at tha
