    I remember reading a Goodreads review of "The blade itself" that was more of a "People told me Abercrombie was great and I don't like it, so here I am gonna trash people's taste" and it had a lot of comments agreeing that I wondered if I had read the book wrong. Then realized the author just wasn't into grimdark, cause he kept calling Joe "Mr. Grimdark" and he got really defensive on my comment when I replied to his review "seems more of a you problem with what you expected out of this book and not the book itself".

    I love Tuesdays with Morrie, I should re-read it too. What a great guy. I always think of him when I remember that it's something to be grateful for when we can just outside and look up at the sky. Loved project hail mary too. Biggest criers for me have been the narrow road to the deep north, when breath becomes air, the light between oceans and soldier, sailor. I properly cried with all of those!

    I just wanna say I love the lack of toxic masculinity in this video! there's nothing wrong with men crying, and there's nothing wrong with crying over books. I try not to read books that I know will be devastating (im already mentally ill, I don't need any help being sad lmao) but there are definitely some that have gotten me. one of the most gut wrenching books I've ever read was Human Acts by Han Kang. it's nothing like I usually read, but i was convinced to read it by a coworker and oof. my heart. on the other end, TJ Klune always makes me emotional in a good way. his books always make me feel loved and seen in a way I rarely feel.
