branding stresses me out too
one of the reasons i try to have a different name everywhere but i have a few that repeat and ofc people always tell you to link accounts so people can follow you elsewhere but then youre already in a 'professiona' account territory over just personal blog kind of vibe:eyes: 
Yeah... I've started to un-link more and more of my stuff actually XD I know it doesn't matter but I'm just like "at least I can make it a bit harder" hahaha. 

the thing is that I know I'm the kind of person people really either love or hate too. I've been semi-"internet famous" once and I know how that was. I know I'm a cringy weird person who is not always the most stable. And who has that typical autistic trait of "if I just explain myself enough they will understand!!!" I need to learn that no matter how much you explain to someone, sometimes they just don't care. 
yeah, i'm not exactly the most stable person either, like one day i like this and the other i've entirely forgotten about it. internet makes it kinda obvious, but irl it's like... things eb and flow but real life is forgiving
haha aww exactly XD <3

I wish I had more good books to recommend, but this autumn has mostly been spent reading textbooks. 
I’m really looking forward to the Christmas break so I can get back to reading more books! For now, here are a few books I’ve enjoyed lately:

Dreamer's Pool by Juliet Marillier
I really enjoyed the writing style. It was a nice change from newer books. You can guess how the plot will unfold about halfway through, but I still thought it was a good book.

Project Hail Mary  by Andy Weir
I didn't understand the scientific terms, but the book was really good. 

I’m also scared of the new acotar book coming out.  This video I watched yesterday reminded me of that.

Honestly, I liked it at first, but now it feels like everyone is suddenly a reader. I've been reading since I was a kid, back when it wasn't trendy, and now everyone's acting like they've been book lovers their whole lives. I know it's a good thing that more people are reading, but sometimes I miss when reading felt like a quieter, more personal hobby. :I

yeah, i have 99% bad things to say about tiktok, and the entire video format and it spreading is one of them. another is the contention creation and entertainment era we are in for social media. both of them ruins the entire vibe and forces people to post just to post. the soul is gone. 

also how intensely political everything is now. there's not a single popular book that i feel good about reading because someone has hated on it so immensely. people used to be kind about that, like if they had a booktube video and were talking about books a lot of people liked and they didn't, they used to tell you to click away bc people aren't that fan of having their faves trashed.


also sometimes i see videos where people are like "the queen(s) of booktok" and i'm like HUH THIS GIRL WHO'S BEEN THERE FOR 3 YEARS? This is who we're pushing to stardom now? 

maybe i'm just to old and bitter for it honestly 
the entire competetetiativness of arcs, and followers, and sponorships, and merch, and special editions, and all of that too. it's so HUGE NOW. and people forget that it was booktubers that did all the behind the scenes stuff that eventually made them start getting paid for showing books they got sent. booktubers who coined #Bookstagram for the community. 

also on a personal note bc people tend to take offense to this, i can't wait for the day romance does not crush every genre and book suggestion on social media like I AM SO TIRED OF GENRE ROMANCE LIKE BE FOR REAAL ITS SO BORING. This includes so many romantasies too, llike so many "Romantasy" books are not even fucking romantasy. 

/ vent over bc i have to go exercise
