The Kingdom Of Back - My favorite book of hers that I’ve read so far. (Mozart and a fantasy world?). It reminded me of the world in The Cruel Prince by Holly Black.
I haven’t read Warcross (and Wildcard—also Stars And Smoke and Icons and Infernos) yet, but it is one of my most anticipated books of 2026!
The Young Elites (The Rose Society, and The Midnight Star) - A fantasy trilogy that I actually cried while finishing. It has some insanely complex and flawed characters (with great character arcs :)). Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo and This Dark Descent by Kalyn Josephson are somewhat similar to this.
Skyhunter (and Steelstriker) - This is a dystopian sci-fi/fantasy duology. It was intense. I’m not sure what else to say.
i understand it as a sort of familial love, where it goes beyond enjoying their presence and rather loving them because of the comfort they bring. i dunno if that made sense js how it felt to me
ofc! some of my favorites that you might recognize are crawdad song, around her neck she wore a yellow ribbon (quintessential camp song!), the ship titanic, l-o-l-l-y-p-o-p, german music, and lydia pinkham but there's soooo many more i could name!! yours?
That sounds just like the camp I go to (though a tad bit younger, I think maybe like 75?) !! and yes, please do list some! perhaps we know some of the same ones!! <3
i go to what we call a real "camp camp" - sleepaway camp in old cabins next to the lake, 107 years old this summer & still good as new! our camp songs involve lots of call and response and hand motions and pounding the tables as hard as you can when it gets to the part with a beat, and they're so so fun. do you want me to list some specific ones?
yeah hehehehe lol

Oh my gosh I’ve been thinking about making a post about Marie Lu’s books for a while! I’ll look into those

This is incredible. I love your poetry so, so much, and this seems to embody every snippet of it

I’ve been telling the same one for years because it’s so stupid:
Why do fish swim in salt water?
Pepper makes them sneeze!
