BOOKSHELF

* disclaimer: i'm very neurodivergent so if i really like a piece of media, i consume it a ton of times. most, if not all, of the recommendations i make on this site will be media i have repeatedly consumed

* welcome to my bookshelf! this is the collection i most have to explain myself for probably!

* as i've grown up with books longer than i have with manga, video games, etc, i reread books targeted to a more varied age range.

* i reread books regardless of quality as long as i still find joy in said books. so you may see some books here that are considered absolutely terrible by the general public. i would likely also agree they are absolutely terrible, but they give me 1 of 2 purposes:

* 1) it makes me feel better about my own writing

* 2) it's so bad it's good

* that being said, my book recommendations do not mean my values and beliefs reflect those of the authors'. i believe that excellent works have always been made regardless of morality, and i will additionally disclose that i am not always in the loop about authors' actions. despite that in mind, i will remove any living author here on my own accord if they've committed atrocities to others akin to JKR and neil gaiman.

* (this is not an invitation to bombard me with stuff on whether a certain author is problematic or not. also don't ask me if i'm proship or antiship. i'm in my late twenties and have a full-time job with bills to pay.)
