March wasn't great.
Not terrible - but then, the bar for terrible is pretty high (or low, depending on your perspective, I guess,) at this point - but not great.
Basically: my mental health sucks at the moment.
Dora Reads is the book blog of a Bookish Rebel, supporting the Diversity Movement, bringing you Queer views and mental health advocacy, slipping in a lot of non-bookish content, and spreading reading to the goddamn world! :) (All posts may contain Amazon links, which are affiliate, unless marked otherwise.

Do you think that books can send us messages?
I've been re-reading Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl -
so that I can finally move on to the second book in the series with some sort of familiarity with these characters because my brain is swiss cheese
- and I'd forgotten that there was a scene, in the library, where the books are 'talking' to the main character.
'He grieves quietly.
The world is ending in three days; actually, truly ending.
Odd, how it feels like his already has.'
This is well-written, and you know we have a rule around these parts - if I find a well-written fic, I have to rec. it.
So - here we are! Rec'ing the fic.
It's Thursday, it's somehow April, this is Dora Reads, so let's get some comics-y superhero-y goodness!
Can someone tell me how to assess your own writing?
Because I am not good at judging the quality of the stuff I write!
"Jesus Buck," Sam says, "I leave for three days. Three days, and I come back to find you half dead in our kitchen."
Hopefully by the time this post goes up, AO3 will be back online.
AO3, for those unfamiliar, is the primary place for fanfiction on the internet - it's the most user-friendly, covers the broadest range of fandoms, and has the most people (as far as I can tell,) actively uploading fanfiction.
It's also where I read 99% of my fanfiction - because of said user-friendliness, and also because I can download to my e-reader - and so 99.99% of my fic recs are from AO3.
