-I bough a niffler plushie for my 30th birthday and i’m still sleeping with it.
-I still listen music for childrens i listened when i was little.
I still read “young adult” novels, they are clearly aimed at kids/teens but they are short and I can read them leisurely over a couple of days.
What are you reading? Here are a couple of novels that I’ve grown quite fond of. Common to all of them are that they are freely (and legally) available online; I am not in any way affiliated with them; and they strongly feature female lead characters.
- Worm - An introverted teenage girl with an unconventional superpower, Taylor goes out in costume to find escape from a deeply unhappy and frustrated civilian life. Her first attempt at taking down a supervillain sees her mistaken for one. […] Taylor faces the dilemma of having to do the wrong things for the right reasons. (Warning: this is longer than LotR and has a wi(l)der array of superpowers than Marvel.)
- Ra - Discovered in the 1970s, magic is now a bona fide field of engineering. There’s magic in heavy industry and magic in your home. It’s what’s next after electricity.
- Little Brother by Cory Doctorow - In the aftermath of a terrorist attack on the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge and BART system, four teenagers defend themselves against the Department of Homeland Security’s attacks on the Bill of Rights. (Note: This is a contemporary analogue to Orwell’s 1984.)
Warning: this is longer than LotR
I’m old enough to have adult children (hypothetically) and I still fucking love sugary breakfast cereal. Every grocery store trip involves a good 3-5 minutes staring at it all, trying to find the perfect intersection of craving and sale price to fill my bowl for the next week or two.
