The Berenstein Bears books to sad girls lit fic pipeline is REAL. I was obsessed with those as well. I loved this analysis and reflection on your path as a reader!

For me, it was the Little Critter books to Horror pipeline. Lol. Especially the Halloween Little Critter book.

Happy birthday! I’m a year older than you, so I was reading the same childhood books. I identified heavily with The Very Hungry Caterpillar, because as a child I enjoyed few things as much as I enjoyed food lol.

Have a happy birthday!! I feel so seen by this video i love it. I turned 31 in September, so definitely had similar childhood books. I also liked reading about drug addicts when i was like 11 wtf lol. I read Go Ask Alice like three times (why) I have borderline personality disorder and PTSD and I can relate to the reading-as-escapism feeling so much, but now I'm just getting back into my reading era and I really love the idea of exploring characters to learn how to process my own thoughts and feelings. (because therapy is expensive and the library is free) I've made notes of those last few lit fic books you mentioned and I'm going to check them out. (sorry this is a long ass comment but i ALSO loved American Psycho)

Happy birthday! Great idea for a video and your cat was adorable! I also had a big Ellen Hopkins/addiction themes phase in high school too. I decluttered all her books except Crank. Go Ask Alice was a big one for me too.

Happy early birthday!!! ^_^ 💜🎂🎉🎈🎊 I hope you have the spookiest of birthdays and all your wishes come true!! Also, I grew up reading a lot of the same books as you! Esp Ellen Hopkins! (I am 34). ^_^ Two books that I still love to this day is Animal Farm by George Orwell and Dante's Inferno. I have re-read Animal Farm so many times my physical copy is held together with tape and rubber bands. Thankfully, Kindle came around and now I can read it on there when I have the craving to do so.

Speaking about bleak and sad books, have you read Oyasumi PunPun? It's a manga and it's... sad. So sad, yet so beautiful and the characters, their traumas and the way they deal with them are so realistic (Btw the main character is depicted as a bird for a reason, but he's actually a human like everyone else), I think perhaps you might like it!

Schön! can i say that? i dont know, im an old "sad" man now and "your" books are so much out of the world of the books i read but make me curious in a fun way still, except for one book which is actually more a satire as you stated yourself correctly and i do love horror too since very early on maybe 8 when i saw "The Wasp Woman" for the first time ( she looked like my mother with the name of my father, so scary - the actress...
