audiobooks I loveee
I'm an audiobook sloot, I have motion sickness so it's an amazing option for me and I also listen to it while running errands or doing home chores
I have the physical book but I balanced between the book and the audiobook (I can't read in public transportation cause motion sickness) and THE NARRATOR absolutely demolished my heart. Such an incredible voice, the way he speaks and talks throughout...
A Little Life - Audiobook
E-books, kindle and other useful products
no words, kindle changed my life forever because I like big books
I looove kindle to read anywhere
Kindle Paperwhite: Fastest Kindle E-Reader
Bought this because I'm lazy and honestly one of the best things I've bought lately, it's cold where I live so I can read under the covers without having to flip my kindle's pages lol
Kindle Page turner!
Horror and dark books
I'm a horror gal so these are my fav recommendations that I think every dark/horror book fan should read
This is a short-stories book, it's an amazing, dark and hilarious book. Must have a trigger warning as it talks about body issues and disorders but honestly, as someone who's had one, I found it really funny and not uncomfortable at all.
She's Always Hungry by Eliza Clark
I read this book twice and it's one of my favourite books to this day. Hands down the best horror book writer, I looove King. Please read it if you're a horror book sloot! Trigger warning: DV
Rose Madder by Stephen King
this book is so weird and unsettling but i absolutely fell in love with it tbh, if you're into weird and dark books please check this one out and let me know what you think hihihi
Lapvona: A Novel
I went in blind on this book and I was greatly impressed. It's a very eery book with a lot of suspense and I really loved it!
Revenge: Yoko Ogawa
sad books and sad stories
if you want something to make you ugly cry, read these lol
One of the best and most heartbreaking books ever, such a wonderful experience to read it. I believe you need a bit of a stomach to handle it. Trigger warning for mental illness and a lot of sensitive topics.
A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara, Paperback
Such a heartbreaking book, this one hit close to home in a few aspects but also made me see a few things differently. The story is really upsetting sooo
Demon Copperhead: A Novel
books that made me see the world differently
books that have changed the way I view life and society
These books really made me think more about society and where women stand in it. Beautiful book with amazing writing. I loved this author and really recommend reading her books!
Jacqueline Harpman 2-Book Set: I Who Have Never Known Men
incredible writing, but such a sad story. i love how she makes light of it and how funny she is, definitely a must read
I'm Glad My Mom Died: Jennette McCurdy
when i read this i found it so funny but its definitely a dark story, the writer's life was so difficult (but also relatable). he ended up committing suicide after publishing the book so it makes it even sadder to read.
It's Kind of a Funny Story: Ned Vizzini
useful tools and gadgets
bought these and they're sooo helpful, they make my reading easy and cute
For physical books this has been really helpful to hold the pages open, I've found the plastic ones work better as they haven't damaged the books and work really well for their purpose!!
Penco Clampy Plastic Clip
I'm very disorganised so I bought this to hold pens for my journalling and for the books i read so i can write on them and take notes while i read hihihi
