The Unfortunate Archives

(Self-) Certified book person. Capable reality escapist. Confused adult. 

I'm honored/flattered/flabbergasted that you clicked on the "more". 

Hello. Hi. Thank you for being here. I'm Shima, and I created The Unfortunate Archives so we can talk about books.   
I can be persuaded to read anything, but left to my own devices, I mainly read fantasy and literary fiction. I tend to like books that that make me feel awe, heartbreak, and/or rage. 

If you want to see if we have similar tastes, some of the books I loved this year are In Memoriam, The Sword of Kaigen, Station Eleven and A Dowry of Blood. Some of my all-time favorites are The Night Circus, Invisible Life of Addie LeRue, The Paper Menagerie and The Fifth Season, and I grew up reading The Golden Compass, Lirael, Inkheart and The Lightning Thief. 

Anyways, stick around if you like. Watch a video, hang out, tell me what you like to read. Subscribe and feel the power of seeing the number increase by one. Why not.
