Someone please send help.Cherry Bomb by The Runaways refuses to leave my head.
Also, if you're a true Marvel fan, you'll remember this song was used in a Marvel movie.
I've been thinking for a few hours about this now.Why don't books include more situations where characters go to the bathroom (hey, pooping and peeing are very important), or charging their phones or laptops, or the occasional stomach ache, or that silly mistake you committed in front of people, or, or , or…
People should be really talking more about menstruation.Why do some people treat it like a dirty secret?
I simply cant understand.
I mean, one reason is of course the effing society.

Yeah, probably.
Maybe he got it from his friends.
Wait, so in sex ed classes, do they talk about menstruation?Because we didn't have any type of sex ed class when I was in school. Bloody Indian education system.

point to be noted. I had read a book where menstruation was talked about a while back, but I can't remember what book it was.

Well, I've never really faced that problem because my family is very open minded and I go to a Private school where they don't make a taboo out of it.

I think it was Throne Of Glass. The book is terrible, imo but i liked the fact that they showed the MC struggling with heavy menstruation which i could relate to.

Why do you think it's terrible?
Well, at least it was relatable.
Romance books, or any book for that matter, should include conversations about menstruation.
You know, Daughter of the Deep has talk about menstruation!
Book Gangsta wrote: "You know, Daughter of the Deep has talk about menstruation!"Oh yeahhh! I do remember that.
So far so good. A bit poetic though.
A character with disability.
“Which means you see what you want,and you want what you see,
and if I have anything
to say about it,
that will
never
be
me.”
“The people who lose their sons
in these Tests—
many have tried to follow them:
to make sure they’re alive.
to try to steal them back.
But there are only twokinds of boys at the wall:
those who kill and
those who are killed.
And neither returns home.”
Finished reading the book.It was… okay?
Had a lot of expectations though.
I think I'm loosing my already lost mind.*shivers*
Why did I read that horror novel?why why why?
Imagine a ghost (IDK if it could be called that or not) of you from another world, talking with you in your own head, then making you things that you never did, and at last kicking your real personality out of your own body.Then doing everything as you.
I don't think horror novels are really my thing.
Suhas wrote: "Imagine a ghost (IDK if it could be called that or not) of you from another world, talking with you in your own head, then making you things that you never did, and at last kicking your real person..."Oh and after taking your body from you, then trying to kill your own children too.
Seriously, how do people read horror novels?
So, I have to give a seminar on Monday about segmentation in operating system in our class.Am I terrified? a bit.

Suhas wrote: "Suhas wrote: "Imagine a ghost (IDK if it could be called that or not) of you from another world, talking with you in your own head, then making you things that you never did, and at last kicking yo..."That sounds... Absolutely terrifying but at the same time I'd read it lol

If I knew that the book was about this, I wouldn't have even opened the file on my laptop LOL.
You're brave.
Someone Like Me here's the book if you'd like to read it.

It was okay? the world building felt a bit off to me.
Also, the whole book is in a poetic kind of writing. So if you don't like that kind of writing then…
Also what? the author is white. hmm ok. I'll give the author a bit more credit then.
Bhavya wrote: "Suhas wrote: "Imagine a ghost (IDK if it could be called that or not) of you from another world, talking with you in your own head, then making you things that you never did, and at last kicking yo..."It's terrifying. But the book is called Someone Like Me by M.R. Carey.
