She/her I post whatever I'm interested in at the time, mainly wings of fire, gregregor the overlander, good omens, Musical theater, and books I like. Also Venom now apparently? Don’t know where that came from but I have a sneaking suspicion this interest is going to last.

You must me aware.
When I recommend Gregor The Overlander I do so because it was an amazing book! It was well written and thought out, with interesting characters and great pacing.
when I recommend Michael Vey I do so not because it’s well written and in terms of quality is pretty much the opposite of Gregor The Overlander. But because I miraculously still greatly enjoyed it! My hope is that you might start reading, get hooked on the first few books that are actually pretty good, and therefore be too far gone to stop and subsequently become obsessed too. And now I have a new person to obsess over this niche thing with.

Cirque du Freak
Not me looking up Cirque du Freak out of curiosity only to discover a surprisingly large community/fandom?!
like, I didn’t think anyone knew about these books! I feel like the existence of a (regrettably terrible) movie should have tipped me off but I’m shocked! I could make fan art and more than three people will actually look at it?! No offense to those three people who look at my obscure art, I love y’all, but like, what?! I was ranting to my poor friend for nothing! I could have been here the whole time?! What a waste!
Oh hey a random Michael Vey fan nice to meet ya
Things I like about MV, in no particular order: 1. Obviously the electricity superpowers aren't, yunno, realistic, but the author did put some research into how it works and looked at various bits of science to make 'em-Ian and eels, etc. 2. Hatch is both legitimately terrifying and depressingly on-point as a villain 3. Ostin and McKenna are a sweet couple, so are Jack and Abi 4. Tourette's rep that isn't swearing I have a short list of rewrites and updates I'd do if I got the chance to make an MV tv show. (Gay Wade. Hispanic Ostin. Lesbian Nichelle. More Bryan and Kylie. Tone down Jack's JROTC-y-ness. I could go on.)
I liked how there powers were handled as well
hatch was an amazing villain! Sometimes it’s refreshing just to have a villain who’s crazy and evil for no reason other than being evil. Just a terrifying dude who I can easily hate and fear.
Ostin and McKenna were the best couple in the series. I honestly didn’t care much for Michael and Taylor. They felt a bit forced.
TOURETTES REP! It’s hard to find characters with Tourette’s and even less so in fiction. And even less that’s not just swearing.
I’ve never considered gay wade but I could get behind that. Hispanic Ostin would be nice. Absolutely Lesbian Nichelle! It would be sweet for her to be grumpy with everyone except her girlfriend. Yea, I’d like to see more of jacks character than just “knows about military stuff”
Did anyone order some mudwing siblings?
actively wanting to date is kind of baffling to me
who are they? I don’t know but I am attached to their designs.
