3. there may never be enough words
4. it never really leaves you
5. you carry on anyways

a violent beheading of a vampire with a battle axe wielded by a 13 year old french babydoll girl in MY children’s vampire series? more likely than you think!

we can have a little depersonalization disorder, for funsies. anyways antoine was insufferable, the self taught man too demanding, and anny too self absorbed and cruel.

that shit was SO fucking fun. had to be the most exciting and original story i’ve read in soooooo long.
lots of reviews compliment the novel “despite it being middle grade level,” but like… why should a book for a younger audience have anything marked against it as a hurdle? if you praise a child for reading collegiate level books, why can’t you praise an adult for reading ANY books that are this fucking fun??? this book isn’t good DESPITE being middle grade, this book is good on its own merit and enjoyment. just read a book babes. stop letting people make you feel inadequate for not reading nietzsche in your free time ✨

this was my favorite book in the 4th grade. i got it from the elementary school library 5 times that year. the next year i left for the middle school and forgot this book ever existed. i've spent the last 19 years trying to remember the name of this book, trying to find it. it came in the mail, first edition hardback, 2 days ago. tonight i'm sobbing over the pages, trying to keep it dry. this book has meant everything to me for so long that i can hardly fathom i ever forgot its name. i forgot it the way isabel forgot her mom. i remembered the best parts first, the things that made me happy. for 19 years i could tell you all about where it took place, the cover art, about a girl mourning her mom and childhood, her depressed brother, the prose of it all. and now like isabel going through her mother's belongings, each page reminds me how much it hurts. how sad and painful the whole book has always been; and every page is worth remembering anyways. i can't express how much it means to have this book in my hands again.
