booknookHello, hello! booknook is (again) tossing its hat in the ring for 3weeks4dreamwidth in the form of a friending meme :D
This is the same meme as last year, as I do not have the brain-space to make a new one, but who knows! You're answers might have changed! You might not have seen the newest entries! You might have completely forgotten to check it out at all, even though you're the admin and you really should have. So let's do this again! <3

Date: 2025-05-04 08:02 pm (UTC)Pronouns: she/her
Age Group: 40+
Dealbreaker(s): I don't know if I have any. Continuous bashing of people who don't like the stuff you do? (disclaimer: I'm not listing stuff that should be obvious aka racism, homophobia, transphobia etc).
I Recently Finished Reading: Welcome to Night Vale audiobook.
A Book I Want to Reread: There are a lot of books I'd like to reread at some point so I'm gonna read this question as "a book I want to read again for the first time" when the answer would be: The whole Black Jewels trilogy. And MDZS.
Some Published Titles From My To Be Read List: Parts two and three of the Wraeththu trilogy and a ton of danmei (Chinese BL), including but not limited to Dinghai Fusheng Records, Fourteenth Year of Chenghua, Mist, and several webnovels from priest.
A Book Not-Yet-Published I'm Excited About: Aubrey Gordon's Maintenance Phase: The Hidden History of the Weight Loss and Wellness Industries—and the Lies They Sold Us
Related Book News I've Got My Eye On: The new danmei books 7S is publishing. I'm mostly side-eyeing them, though as I have a LOT on my reading list right now. I also should read more baihe.
My Favorite Book Genre(s): danmei, horror, sci-fi, fantasy, dark fantasy. I tend to read mostly lgbtqia+ books nowadays and try to read more from POC authors. (When someone asks me why, say, "I've spent about 30 years reading straight, White and Western fantasy. I think it's time I read something else for a change.")
A Genre I'm Interested in Trying Out: I've never been much into comics/graphic novels. I should probably try some.

Link to My Reading Log
I'm also on GR and StoryGraph, the links are on my intro post. I read and especially listen a lot nowadays and like to do reading challenges. This year, I'm doing... *counts* 6 challenges, lol.
I post daily, usually only once but sometimes more. My book thoughts are always under a cut and I tend to put all my longer posts under cuts, too.
