The holidays are fucking hard

This Winter by Alice Oseman

December 29, 2022 by carmelpie Leave a Comment

“When people know you’re mentally ill, most people either want to ignore it completely or they treat you like your strange, scary, or fascinating. Very few people are actually good at the middle ground. The middle ground isn’t hard. It’s just being there. Being helpful, if help is needed. Being understanding, even if they don’t understand everything.” ― Alice Oseman, This Winter “I think sometimes,’ says Nick, ‘you’re so scared of being a burden that it makes you terrified to ask for help. But you […]

Heartstopper Volume 1 by Alice Oseman

Heartstopper Volume 2 by Alice Oseman

Heartstopper Volume 3 by Alice Oseman

Heartstopper Volume 4 by Alice Oseman

November 25, 2022 by carmelpie Leave a Comment

  I love him so, so much. But what I’ve realized through all of this is that we need other people too: siblings, parents, friends, more friends, a therapist. Even teachers sometimes. That doesn’t mean our relationship isn’t strong. ― Alice Oseman, Heartstopper Volume 4 I’ve been working my way through my recommendation list lately. As soon as I wrap up one series, I’m sad that it is over. I tend to go looking for something along the same lines. After falling in love with […]

My, my, that was messy…

I Was Born for This by Alice Oseman

October 30, 2022 by Travis_J_Smith Leave a Comment

WARNING: SPOILERS FOLLOW! Back when I first saw this on the shelf of Target, I didn’t realize it was actually one of Oseman’s older books, just released for the first time in the US. I almost bought it then, but had to look it up since I didn’t recall her having posted about any new books, and held off for the time being because I knew all too well how low her lows were when she was starting out. It wasn’t long before I was […]

I’ll read/watch anything with Heartstopper in the title…

The Heartstopper Yearbook by Alice Oseman

October 26, 2022 by Travis_J_Smith Leave a Comment

I’m starved for more Heartstopper content while I wait for the next season of the show to wrap up filming and production, and for the final volume of the comics to come out, so I’m at the point where I’ll take any morsels I can get. Enter The Heartstopper Yearbook. It’s part art book, part reflection on the series, part other miscellany. However, it’s 100% adorable, including the book itself, with its gold-print leaves on the cover. Whether you like her books or not, I think you have […]

What a difference two years makes…

Radio Silence by Alice Oseman

August 6, 2022 by Travis_J_Smith 1 Comment

How in the heck was this written a mere two years after Solitaire!? They legitimately feel as if they were written by different authors, or at least by Oseman at polar opposite points in here career. Maybe it’s largely the subject matter informing that statement, as we don’t have the absolutely insufferable main character or outlandish side-plot or all the stuff that should’ve come with a content warning. It does make for a lighter read overall, more in line with the rest of her work. […]

Cannonball!

Solitaire by Alice Oseman

August 3, 2022 by Travis_J_Smith 5 Comments

Including avoiding Solitaire altogether! Unless you want to take what seems like a lovable side-character from the Heartstopper series and completely ruin her for yourself like I did. That is the only thing I can say with certainty that this book accomplished, and I’m not exaggerating in the slightest. To Oseman’s credit, she was 17 when she wrote this, and it was her first published book. I know I wouldn’t want the novel I wrote at 17 distributed for everybody to read. Trust me, mine […]
