The House of My Mother
I heard about this book from a video of the arrest of Jodi Hildebrandt and Ruby Franke. Boze linked Shari Franke’s book, so I decided to read it. There is no better way to see how someone is feeling and dealing with everything than to read it in their own words. (here’s one of Boze’s

Would You Like to Be a Family
This is actually a collection of a couple stories, all of which are pretty cute one shots. I picked this one up because I’m a sucker for dark hair/dark eye mean lookin’ types. And family stuff. It’s cute. Look how petty he is. It’s so funny. That said, there are some, uh. Style drawbacks… In

Why Don’t You Eat Me, My Dear Wolf?
I threw the smut tag on here but it’s not until the final chapter (thankfully). This is a really soft, gentle manga.
Trigger Warning: Age Gap
Welcome to the Menagerie.
Here is where M logs their media activity. Partly because Goodreads is forgettable and keeping physical logs is harder. Sometimes M writes a lot. Sometimes M doesn’t write enough. It doesn’t matter. This is just a for-fun little blog so that M can remember what they thought about whatever they watched or read or played or. Whatever.
What is M?
I read. Voraciously. I have subscriptions to those book things on digital retailers. I consume books at nearly all hours. The hours I don’t spend reading? I’m writing. I’m drawing. I have a problem. I have a problem in that I love to read things that are in the same vein repeatedly. Book journals don’t work and as much as I text my friends screenshots of book passages, it doesn’t scratch the itch. Now I’m going to be doing… tiny… tiny book reports.
