19th May 2026 - What is your favourite flower?

I love gerberas.

I always call gerberas ‘happy flowers’ — they’re bright and beautiful and, so long as they’re not wired (bad florists *sprays with water bottle*) they freaking dance.

Since my To-Be-Read (TBR) list is continually growing, from time to time I like to throw together a list focussing on some of the (often diverse) titles on there.

I may never get to all of the 1k+ books on there, but that doesn't mean they don't deserve some attention!

As this is a TBR, I haven't read any of these, so have no idea whether or not they're any good!

This time around, I thought I'd take a look at some of the books that I genuinely don't remember adding to my list...

...in my defence, it is a freaking huge list, OK? Plus I get so many different recs that it's amazing I remember why I added anything at all (lol.)

5th May 2026 - What toppings are on your ideal pizza?

Ermahgad I love pizza!

Pizza is my favouritest food :)

Nerd Church - The Writer Diaries: A Magical Solution To the Terrors of the Blank Page

 

My dearest nerdlets, there are some topics which appear in the bookish/writerly/bloggerly interwebs again and again — and one of the most common of these is writer’s block.

(Which, yes, I’ve talked about before too.)

I plan on dipping in-and-out of it if and when I feel like it - I figured it was a low-pressure way of posting a little more regularly here on Dora Reads (...and hopefully I'll be right about that!)

Don't deceive yourself...this is not a love story. 

- Certain Dark Things, Silvia Moreno-Garcia

 

He jests at scars that never felt a wound 

- Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare

 

Certain Dark Things is a vampire novel.

…It’s also entirely unique.

Silvia Moreno-Garcia, the author, describes the book as 'neon noir' - which is as good a label as any for this inventive, interesting, and compelling, mash-up of styles and genres.
