Presenting my October 2026 TBR 🦇🏰🌙🕸️ I don’t like committing to monthly TBRs, but horror is one of my favorite genres, so I like to theme my reading in October. I'm also going to do a Goosebumps re-read and try a juvenile chapter book for funsies. Anyone else reading horror through October? 💙📚🩸📚

REACTION THREAD, PT. 2: The Most Dangerous Games by MrBeast & James Patterson All right, I completely borked that original reaction thread (Prologue – Ch 19), I’m sorry. I’m making another one here, and I’ll just nest the comments so it’s easy to follow.

Yesh, I thought I'd organize my thread by not repeatedly nesting comments one after the other, but by commenting each chapter on the original post. It's not organizing itself well at all, I'm sorry. I've committed to this format for this book thread, but won't do it again.

REACTION THREAD: The Most Dangerous Games by MrBeast & James Patterson Starting off strong by having no summary on the back of the book. The inner flaps are only a massive picture of MrBeast and James Patterson. Says a lot about the marketing strategy for this book…

Presenting the two last books in my hate reads section: The Most Dangerous Games (more like the most sloppiest of literary slop), and Lights Out, which is a bestselling “masktok” book for all the booktokers into assaulting/stalking fantasies done by men in masks or...something. I dunno. 🤷‍♀️

Taking stock of my 2026 reading goals. I always read more than this list, but these books are ones I want to get off my TBR, or make an effort to read so I have a balanced literary diet. My summer sickness really screwed me, but I *THINK* I still have a chance to catch up.

Remember that time on my old Bsky account when I said that I had Korean dick for the first time, and it was so good that it was distracting? And it took like four hours to realize I had typo-ed “duck” as “dick?” Pepperidge Farm remembers—and so does her RL friends, who won’t let her forget it.

Went to training for the first time in months, and I managed to keep up for the entire class. It was hard, but I’m not suffering this morning, so I’m very pleased. A lot of fundamentals need to be modified because of my health, and I've been away awhile, so I'm focusing on fine tuning the basics.

I am laughing so hard. I put this book on my TBR because I thought it was from my favorite subgenre: fantasy mystery. I had this idea in my head of a woman in a sprawling fantasy city inheriting a magic tarot shop. I put a library hold on it, went to pick it up, and… bsky.app/profile/quit...

I’ve been up for 34 hours straight for some reason. 🫤 Now I need to stay up for at least another hour to take my meds, and then maybe get some sleep. Got more than halfway into my book that I haven’t had time to read, though, so…🤷‍♀️

Saw someone knock a star off a book rating because the audiobook used an unpleasant sound at the end of the chapters. Exactly what does that have to do with the quality of the STORY? Imagine an art critic bashing a painting because the gallery lighting was harsh. This is why I don't trust ratings.

Sometimes I hate being someone who usually doesn’t click with popular stuff. For once, I’d like to get swept up in the frenzy. I’m setting down Dungeon Crawler Carl for a variety of reasons. It’s not bad, it’s just not what I’d like to be reading. Maybe that’ll change in the future, who knows. 🫤

The worse feeling is when you want to read a book so badly, but you hate an integral character so much that you simply can't continue. (Or am I the only one who DNFs because they can't stand a character?) 💙📚

I’m currently reading China Miéville’s Embassytown, and couldn’t put my finger on why it was so notable. Then I picked up a popular modern novel and realized how degraded the writing quality was in comparison. It’s shocking to see how literacy has rotted so quickly in 14 years. It’s upsetting.

Today is the day that Ray Bradbury set his short story “There Will Come Soft Rains.” It’s my favorite Bradbury work, and although it has a patina of age, its eerie message is more relevant than ever. This was the sci-fi future that the classics imagined. It’s not far off. 🚀📚 youtu.be/nmcURKn2sf8

Getting real fucking tired of seeing “strong FMC” as a book description/trope. I like that we need to qualify “strong” because the implication is that the baseline for women is weak. And what does “strong FMC” mean anyway? Let’s be real, it means “physically aggressive to the level a-- (1/8)

June is my summer reading month, when I dedicate all my free time to reading and getting through the majority of my TBR for the year. Unfortunately, my current health/life hasn’t really aligned with this event, but I’m going to try my hardest. Already got a bunch of books lined up.🤞

I don't know why, but my attention span is absolute trash right now. I keep staring at my books and choosing internet brainrot instead. I'm going to stay off the internet until after Friday in an attempt to reset my reading. I desperately want to get to these. Have a great week!

Friend pruned their olive tree, so I stole a few branches to workshop an idea I have for my library daybed. I wanted soft, warm light over one end so I could read at night. It works, so I’ll keep this for awhile until it dries out, and I can replace it with something permanent.

One of the few times I think humans don't give themselves enough credit is when we say, "we don't deserve dogs/cats/pets." I think if pets could understand the care and sacrifice that goes into loving them simply for existing, they'd certainly feel that humans are worthy of their devotion.
