TIMMY REVIEW:
THE MIDNIGHT LIBRARY by MATT HAIG
MY RATING:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
WOULD I RECOMMEND IT?:
I would most definitely recommend this book for anyone is and/or isn't struggling with themselves as a way to show you, your right track in life and what you should look for.
MY OVERALL OPINION:
I saw this book while looking in the bookstore and it caught my eye in a way I didn't think it would, and it lived up far beyond my expectations and I fell in love.
It goes through the life some have either gone through or are going through and touches on heavy subjects only few can take to read. It's not a book I would take lightly, which I did until I started reading this novel, but it teaches the best lesson you could learn in life: 'the purpose of life is life itself'

This is by no means an effort to mass-educate, or make an “all-inclusive” list (that doesn’t exist, btw). It’s me sharing with other nonwhite teens things that have helped me understand myself and show that you are able to reconnect with and embrace yourself. In summary, this is a list of stories by POC who have learned to love themselves and their backgrounds.
good essays i’ve read this year
“the siren song” by nina maclaughlin
“out there: on not finishing” by devin kelly
“illuminating kirinyaga: meaing and knowing in mount kenya’s forests” by tristan mcconnell
“on the igbo art of storytelling” by ikechukwu ogbu
“poetry fills tehran streets as iranians adapt nowruz rituals to corona restrictions” by alex shams
“writing emails to my late father” by krista stevens
“panic is worse than pain: how fiction failed me after trauma” by jenn ashworth
Anyways if you want to know some comics to understand Talia’s character pre-Morrison more some good ones are
Detective Comics 411
Batman Chronicles 8
Detective Comics Annual 1
JLA: Tower of Babel
Detective Comics 750
President Lex Luthor: Secret Files
Man of Steel 120
Her character is more than just Ra’s daughter, and just because she was raised by him doesnt mean she shares the same morals as him.
why are wlw books so angsty and deep all the time like where is my casual wlw romcom or my fantasy lesbians, space bis and trans princesses like not every wlw has some lost love in some town in the middle of nowhere
Recommeded reading for Dick Grayson / Robin and Nightwing
This is an updated repeat of a couple of lists with reading recommendations with Dick as Robin and Nightwing (Pre-Flashpoint) that I’ve made earlier. But since I wrote them as answers to asks, the posts don’t have a headline, and I find that they can be easy to miss (for me, when I want to look something up…) So I thought I might as well make a new, single post of them.
The stories are in what I imagine would be an in-universe chronology. They are from all periods, ignoring that the Golden/Silver age stories and Bronze/modern age stories have at times been considered two different universes. Most of them are stories that, at the time of their publishing, were canon and in continuity. None is explicitly Elseworld, so you can certainly imagine that they have happened ;-)
To be honest, not all of these comics are examples of great storytelling. Older superhero comics, for instance, are definitely something else compared to modern comics, for better and for worse. I’ve picked some because they are “the first time” or significant in some way (e.g. the first time Dick was almost killed, when Bruce has to fight to keep custody, an infamous fight between Dick and Bruce, the most well-known different origin stories, panels that are often quoted); others because they have a cute or fun moment. I have also included some books that I don’t like myself but are well-known.
Storytelling has changed a lot since Dick was Robin. Back in the Golden and Silver age, with very few exceptions, comics were stand-alone short stories. In later decades, it’s usually arcs that span at least a couple of issues and some stories have consequences for years.
Dick has been an active team member since the 1960s, and he has arguably been at his best in some team titles, but I still don’t have a lot of team books here. I find it difficult to, off the top of my head, recall any “special Dick issues”.
Obviously, these are very personal preferences, and the list is based on what I’ve read and remembered best.
Robin the Boy Wonder. Detective Comics # 38 (The original origin story. There has been maaany more since then – I’ve made a list just with origin stories….) (1940).
Batman: Year Three. Batman # 436-439. (An origin story where Dick spent some time at a nice orphanage before he came to Bruce.) (1989)
Robin Annual vol 2 # 4. (Another origin story, where the Gotham authorities remove Dick him from the circus, and he is put in the Gotham City’s Youth Center. Not my preferred but it’s well known.) (1995)
The Gauntlet. The Batman Chronicles #1. (The test before Batman let Dick start out as Robin.) (1997)
Grimm. Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #149-153. (A story set when Dick is new as Robin and still uncertain about his place. For a while, he wants to leave Batman and stay in a children’s underground paradise.) (2002)
Robin: Year One. (Traumatic events during Dick’s first year as Robin. He was nearly beat to death by Two-Face. When Bruce said he was not permitted to continue as Robin, Dick ran away because he didn’t think there was a place for him at the Manor any more.) (2001)
The case of the honest crook. Batman #5. (1941)

so you like the percy jackson series….
me too but also we all know that the representation of the characters of color in the books are pretty……how to say, shit? so for each character, I’ve listed out a bunch of recommendations. there are a couple of characters that have a varied list of recommendations due to how vague rick made his characters. for example, while piper is Cherokee and hazel is Louisiana Creole, there are also recommendations outside of that. POC are not interchangeable btw, rr is just rly vague with descs lmao.
If you have any recommendations that are not included in this list, do not hesitate to reach out! I’m happy to make edits for each character and while, I made this list with my trusted sources, i still make mistakes!! a part 2 can always happen so if u don’t see ur favs…do not worry lol
All my recommendations are a collection of middle grade, young adult, adult sff/fantasy, and adult romance!
