may be BITING (do u see what i did there) off more than i can chew w this currently reading list but I CAN'T HELP IT!!!!!!! i am nothing if not a mood reader and the zombie mood has reeeeeeeeaaaaallllllyyyyy been hitting. soz but not really (but a little)

unfortunately kindof impossible for me to imagine any character named elijah as anyone but of the wood variety...grateful for my aphantasia in this moment

oh i know a thing or two about an insecure constraint, an open gate, the option to leave

I Finally Found It. (online. unfortunately unless there's a rerelease or i self-bind it will never be mine physically...) OTGW My Beloved You Changed My Life <3

"i know that nothing has ever been real / without my beholding it. / all becoming has needed me. / my looking ripens things / and they come toward me, to meet and be met."

i have said it before. i will say it again. rilke is the best at everything especially perspective in relation to major life changes. this collection is so important to me. stay tuned

i keep misreading selinunte as selunite and it just makes me wanna play bg3 so bad... alas,, prob can't do that until after move-in 3

guys i was at the lake over the weekend (not reading) and now i'm packing everything up to move (also not reading) so i'll be continuing to not read for a few weeks. felt like updating the masses <3 all good stuff <3

NEW JOHN GREEN BOOK ANNOUNCED LFGGGGG I'M HERE. SAT. WAITING. SEPTEMBER CAN'T COME SOON ENOUGH!!!

there's a quiet and direct reverence in this that keeps making me well up. i'm wildly impressed with how this novel has tucked itself under my ribcage, right by my heart. i'm not yet halfway done and i can already tell i will be thinking about it for a very long time. of that ilk of briefly, a delicious life. just wonderful

it is taking everything in me rn not to drop everything, lock myself in a room, and read lucien until i'm done with it. they're marketing that thing as succession meets the secret history. HELLO! written in a lab for My Personal Enjoyment. thanks so much j.r. thornton ur gonna change my life

1. another classical piano read??? from me??? shocking.

3. i am so excited for this thanku

btw started reading this yesterday in gorgeous beautiful awesome weather. couldn't help but let a handful of tears slip. beautiful beautiful poetry so far

feeling a very deep malaise. a kind of perpetual sickness of the mind and body. will be reading the book of hours again because what else is one really to do in such a circumstance? PL rereading incoming as well. i miss school very much. this is getting rambly goodbye for now
