Reading Series I Missed

There are so many series in the world that we'll never be able to get to. So many books that we won't make time for, or we'll just never know about, and it got me thinking. I've read some of the big hard hitting children's books that are out there (Harry Potter, Percy Jackson) but I haven't read them all. I've not read The Northern Lights, I haven't read Eragon, A Series of Unfortunate Events, and many more that I haven't listed, and it got me thinking, I really want to read some series that I haven't read before.

So I want to try it. I want to pick up one of the books I've never read and try it out, give an opinion on it. So, I'm going to try it.

So, I am going to be trying one series per month, and trying the first book from that series. If I like it, I will continue, and if I don't, I'll move onto another one. I have some pretty high hopes for this because you hear a lot of good things about these books. And here's the thing, if I don't like the book, then that's fine too! I'm not doing this for anything serious or to hate on these, books I'm just going into them to see.

I already have a few ideas of books I'd like to read, so here's a small list.

Eragon by Christopher Paolini
A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket
The Northern Lights by Philip Pullman
Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer

I'm going to start with the A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket, because I already have that book in my possession so it's just an easy one to begin with, but I'd love to hear which ones you think I should read next!

And that's it for now. But, if you have any ideas please let me know, I'm very excited to see if I like them or if I'm just not the right age for them and other things. So hit me up with ideas and hopefully this goes well!

Mental Health - Three books I read when I need help

I think it's safe to say, mental health is something a lot of people deal with, whether it's fleeting or it's constant, it's something we all find difficulty with. My mental health was in a very bad place last year, and luckily I've been able to (mostly) claw myself out of some serious trouble. Having said that, some days I get a little overwhelmed, and my mental state plummets. Today it happened, and without going into details, I started to stress and think that everything was getting worse and worse. It wasn't, of course, but you still can't help but feel as though it's the end of the world when you're in that type of mood. So instead of basking in it and spiralling more, I thought I'd do a blog post about three books that I've found either help me when I'm feeling like I'm in a bad way, make me forget for an hour or so when I start reading, or just understand what I'm going through without me having to realise? I'm ...

Internalised Sexism in fandom for ACOTAR

  So, this is not how I expected to spend my last evening in self-isolation because of Covid but apparently I have a lot to say on this topic, so I’m sorry? This is also going on a VERY OLD not used blog so…you gotta do what you gotta do. First off, I’d like to say a quick disclaimer. This is a bit of fun for me, this is all opinion backed up from my own personal reading of Sarah J Maas’ books, but everyone reads things differently. Just because I read something in a certain way, doesn’t mean it’s fact. These characters do not belong to me, and this is purely opinion based. If you disagree with me, that’s 100% fine. I’m also willing to have discussions and debates about this as long as it doesn’t get aggressive or nasty, so yeah.   Also there’s gonna be spoilers so if you haven’t read the entire series or if you don’t want to look into it too deeply, you can skip it. Let’s get into it. I want to discuss the internalised sexism that the ACOTAR fanbase has seemingly put out ther...
