The first secret from this batch will be posted on July 19th.



RULES:
1. One secret link per comment.
2. 750x750 px or smaller.
3. Link directly to the image.

More details on how to send a secret in!

Optional: If you would like your secret's fandom to be noted in the main post along with the secret itself, please put it in the comment along with your secret. If your secret makes the fandom obvious, there's no need to do this. If your fandom is obscure, you should probably tell me what it is.

Optional #2: If you would like WARNINGS (such as spoilers or common triggers -- list of some common ones here) to be noted in the main post before the secret itself, please put it in the comment along with your secret.

Optional #3: If you would like a transcript to be posted along with your secret, put it along with the link in the comment!

If you read a "Raynor Winn" book and enjoyed it or it helped you in any way then I'm extremely glad for you (especially because any positive result came 100% from you yourself) - but you might want to stop reading here because the remainder of this post is not positive about the author or her books.

Same exact deal as last year! XD

This is the sign-up post for the 2025 October Review-a-Thon I’m hosting here in [community profile] booknook! To sign up, simply comment on this post with what day(s) you’re claiming.

Each day claimed equals one distinctive review, so if you’re claiming three days, you’re signing up to post three different reviews. You can claim up to five days. You can claim a day that’s already claimed, but you must claim different days for each review. You do not need to mention what book(s) you intend to review. You can claim more days up to the max at any time, simply make a new comment and claim more. You can unclaim a day at any time. Sign-ups are open until Oct 30.

Good luck!

Claimed Days


Days to Claim )

Posting Guidelines (click the arrow!)
  • We’re not doing any specific rules regarding the reviews for the events. Your post just needs to adhere to any General Posting Guidelines that applies: this means including a clear header with information regarding the book’s title, author, and any applicable content warnings.

  • Any spoilers (no matter how old the book is) need to be behind a cut or an accordion (this is an accordion!)

  • If your review is not suitable for all ages, adjust the age restriction of the post.

  • The subject line should clearly state that it’s a review. Please tag for at least format, age group, and genre.

  • The review needs to be posted in its entirety, don’t just go ‘and you can keep reading on…’

  • You need to be a member to post to the comm.

Questions and Concerns
I will make a top comment on this post, please leave any questions and concerns about the event as a reply to that comment to easily keep everything in one place. This post will not be sticky, as I think we’re already on max on that, but I will link it in the sidebar under the new ‘Quick Navigation’ heading.

What if I don’t make it to my claimed day?
If you don't post a review on the day you signed up for, nothing will happen :D This is intended to be a low-pressure, fun event, and not meant to put undue pressure on you. Again, [community profile] booknook is always open to reviews! You can post it later, or not at all. You also would not be required to mention in your sign-up which book you intend to review so you can change your mind until the very last second. There are no repercussions for not posting anything on your claimed day!

What if I’m not signed up but I want to post a review in October?
[community profile] booknook is open to reviews 24/7 and that would not change. You’re absolutely still allowed to post a review during this month (even on a claimed day) without signing up!

What kind of books can I review?
Any kind of books! Fiction, non-fiction, poetry, webnovels, short stories, etc. If you think it counts, it counts. Likewise, it doesn't matter how old the book is; a 200-year-old book is just as welcome as one that was just published two weeks ago. Here, it's just all about the books! :D

How does reviews work?
In general, a review should contain an introduction of the book and what you think about it and whether it's something you would recommend to others. Here's a few quick links I found searching (if you've got resources for tips on writing reviews, you're welcome to share them and I can add them to the list):

Title: The Tyrant Baru Cormorant (The Masquerade series book #3)
Author: Seth Dickinson
Genre: Fantasy

Today I finished the latest book in the Baru Cormorant series (fourth book remains to-be-released), The Tyrant Baru Cormorant. Y'all, Baru is so back.

! Spoilers for books 1 & 2 below !
(Book 1 review) (Book 2 review)
 
If you've looked at other reviews for the series, you may have seen book 2, The Monster Baru Cormorant, referred to as the series' "sophomore slump." I disagree, but I understand where the feeling comes from. The Monster feels like a prelude, a setting of the board, for The Tyrant. The Monster puts all the pieces in place for the cascade of schemes and plays that come in The Tyrant. They almost feel like one book split into two (which is fair—taken together, they represent about a thousand pages and would make for one mammoth novel).

High-level stats for week of 2025-06-24 - 2025-06-30


  • Total works categorized F/F on AO3: 10314 (+42 from last week)

  • Works I classified F/F: 5991 (+216 from last week) (2814 new, 3177 continued)

  • 0.66% of all 903712 AO3 works I've classified F/F were updated this week






A few callouts this week:


  • Animated movie KPop Demon Hunters was released via Netflix on 2025-06-20, and went straight to chart rank 5 with over 160 F/F works in its first week.
  • Video game Deltarune also hits the chart for the first time, slotting in at rank 20 on the strength of new content released earlier this month.
  • Alien Stage returns to the chart after a week away. The three new entrants replace Criminal Minds, Hololive, and She-Ra.
  • Boku no Hero Academia reaches 50 consecutive weeks on the chart, League of Legends is at 190, and Harry Potter hits 340.
  • Recently-revealed exchanges: multifandom Pick Me Up: A Happily Ever After Exchange 2025 revealed with 10 F/F works.
  • Finally, a reminder that as part of my recent report on F/F fandoms that are moving up or down the chart rapidly right now, I'm looking for recs for a grab-bag of long-running fandoms (Game of Thrones, Wicked, Hazbin Hotel, Supergirl, Owl House) and growing fandoms (The Pitt, Split Fiction, Death Becomes Her, ENA, Severance, Lost Records: Bloom & Rage). If you read in any of those fandoms and want to rec some works you like, please do! Thanks to everyone who's sent things in so far. I'm hoping to post something this weekend.

Title: Censored: A Literary History of Subversion and Control
Authors: Matthew Fellion and Katherine Inglis
Genre: non-fiction

As a consequence of realising that hey, interlibrary loans exist and are actually pretty cheap, I've been reading a book called Censored: A Literary History of Subversion and Control by Matthew Fellion and Katherine Inglis.

The book is a survey of the history of censorship of literature mainly in the UK and the US, presented through case studies of individual censored works, though many of the chapters discuss censorship of similar books more broadly. The oldest case is the censorship of the early English translations of the Bible; the newest the censorship of Chicanx literature in Arizona in the 2010s.

The book takes a broad view of censorship. It doesn't just deal with censorship by the state, but also other forms of censorship, such as self-censorship and the chilling effect that censorship exerts on the literary landscape as a whole.

I'm not going to talk about it in any great detail. It's really well-written -- very accessible to a lay reader, without feeling like it's been dumbed-down -- so go read it if the topic interests you.
