Oh to be fair it did win a Booker, I didn’t realise that. It’s free on Prime so I might risk it for a biscuit. It’s only 350 pages too, I thought it was longer. Oh wait, that mightn’t be a good sign

Amazon just recommended me a book called ' West of Wicked'. It is described as a sexy spicy dark wizard of oz retelling.
I have read the blurb and it appears that Dorothy shags either the tin man or scarecrow or both. It costs 99p. I am going to have to read this out of morbid curiosity.

i don’t know which of those options is the most “preferable” tbh - please feedback to us
Please report back, while I don't tend to read these books I am absolutely here for people getting their trash fanfics getting published.

I mean, OBVIOUSLY it’s the tin man.i don’t know which of those options is the most “preferable” tbh - please feedback to us
you are absolutely not wrong
who would pick the SCARECROW out of all those options?!That has to hurt tbh, I'm torn
You may very well be! 🫣That has to hurt tbh, I'm torn
It depends if it’s just based on The Wizard of Oz, or if Wicked also comes into the equation because of course in Wicked Fieryo becomes the Scarecrow so actually that sounds like a better option than Boq/the Tinman! And another reason for the wicked witch to be pissed off with Dorothy - stealing her shoes and her fella!you are absolutely not wrong
i bought this recently at a charity shop but I’m too scared to read itSeeing the title '39 Books to bring joy' and immediately seeing A Little Life on the first slide gave me whiplash
We're gonna need a link to that fic @LaBlondesamethere’s hope for all my teenage self insert aragorn fic after all!
generous of you to assume i only wrote one 🥲
I'm so glad to see so much love for A Tree Grows In Brooklyn in so many people's top 10s. That is my cosy, comforting read. I have gifted it to so many people.
I once recommended it on this thread about 4 years ago and everyone then hated it!

If you don't update your content with a Heated Rivalry fic, you'll let your Aragorn fic writing self down.
i like how you think!!If you don't update your content with a Heated Rivalry fic, you'll let your Aragorn fic writing self down.
Has anyone read This Is How We Are Human by Louise Beech? Omg what a beautiful book
Just found this thread 5 pages in, didnt realise a new one had started, but just to say I also loved Gone With The Wind, read it twice but that was a long while ago. I really struggle with any book being called 'problematic', I think all books are important to show our progression as a society and how life was in the Deep South in the 1860s is a story that needs to be told and learned from. I think as adults we are perfectly capable of deciding not to read a book if we dont like the content.

It is in my top ten book list. I adore Sebastian. Louise Beech has a beautiful way of making her characters leap off of the page and become real.
Sebastian is still my favourite though!
I just loved it, it really got to me, so much so i gave it 5 stars. I wasnt sure whether I wanted to read it, the storyline seemed a bit weird, but im really glad I did and it turns out it wasnt that weird after all!
