My favorite books are horror and fantasy but I love exploring all sorts of genres. If you are on StoryGraph, let me know!
Reading Log
Below is a collection of the books I read in 2026. They are sorted by date read, with the most recent reads being on top.
For now, I'm only listing fiction books. Maybe I'll make another page for non-fiction...

Rating System
For many years I would rate my books, shows, movies, etc. completely on vibes alone, until I saw a rating system, below, created by aromanticduck on Tumblr. All my media reviews on Yogo Magpie will use it because it's incredible and simple to use. I won't specify if it's spicy or bland tho
| Nothing really wrong with it | A few things wrong with it | So many things wrong with it | |
| Lots of awesome things | 5 stars | 4 stars (spicy) | 3 stars (spicy) |
| A few awesome things | 4 stars (bland) | 3 stars (mild) | 2 stars (spicy) |
| Nothing really awesome | 3 stars (bland) | 2 stars (bland) | 1 star |
The idea is that you rate the thing on how much stuff you loved and how much stuff you hated, and those things weigh against each other. There's only one way to get 5 stars or 1 star, so those should end up as the rarest ratings, with 3 stars being the most common.
'Spicy' means that the thing inspires emotion, whether positive or negative, while 'bland' means it doesn't affect you much either way.
An example of a 3-star (spicy)—for me personally—would be the Twilight series, beacuse there's plenty of garbage in there but also some things that are like crack to me. I can't think of an example of a 3-star (bland) because by nature they don't stick in the mind.
(This also assumes giving 0 stars isn't allowed. That'd throw it out of whack...)
I started building this page during HTML Day 2025!
