let's go crazy about faramir-boromir-denethor family dynamics

finished the two towers! phil dragash i love youuuu

oh Treebeard's voice in the audiobook...I love him so much.

Finished The Fellowship of the Ring. i love them so much. Also, such a delightful surprise to find out that 'of course you are. and i am coming with you' is from lotr sam and frodo (of course it is).

halfway through The Fellowship of the Ring, 8 hrs 45 min more to go. The Phil Dragash recording is SO GOOD. Obviously I am having fun but I did get scared by the voices of the Black Riders while listening to the book in bed. And anyone can guess I am crushing on Strider lmao

he just said 'yellow peril' as if it's a normal word. okay okay this book is clearly racist, not even hiding it

maybe i should just stop reading it because in the entirety of japanese media chapter, there were 2 (!) sentences about manga and they were about how violent, raunchy and full of sexual assault these are.
Like for fuck's sake man why are you writing this book
but then also sometimes he would describe how narrowminded japanese people are and i'll remember how japan is really england of asia so ehhh, they both suck

this man is so hateful and disrespectful. i am stuck between wanting to know more about japan and wanting to throw this book in the recycling bin.

This is the year i start reading again- even if the books are cheap thrillers

white man thinks he is funny. i did not pay for this book but i am getting the urge that it should have been made to pay rent for being on my shelf.
let's see how long before i throw it out the window gintoki style

hyeseo TwT <3

i guess hyomin really crazily wants to be with gauel for some godforsaken reason
also i would have folded for taeseok ngl

I hope hyomin is gone forever from this, even though he is the best character, precisely because he is the best character. best boi you deserve the world

BROO WTFFF
hyomin is the most normal teenager and he is stuck in bizarroland. i thought this would be a nice psychological story like cheese in the trap which it still somewhat is but it's also just 'kya hi ho rha h'

do love reading fucked up shit but get hyomin out of here- he's literally an angel stuck in this flurry of shitbags

ps. i love all the names so much

To no one's surprise i am in love with miles too. I might like this more than 'I'll give you the sun'.
wynton chapter is going to be a prize to be cherished later, i'm so fucking excited

I love this family already. I loved this family even at 20 pages when only one of them was really introduced but i was scared of diving into this pool of loving people 20 pages in but i dont care anymore, how can i not like anything that came out of Jandy Nelson's mind

oh god oh god oh god this is so her!! jandy nelson TwT how do you do this
i think even if this doesn't turn out as good as I have hopes for it (they are unrealistic to say the least), I will still be happy that I get to read her sparkling, flowing, majestic prose.

trying to get back into reading. and some hindi reading.

It is *so* bad, I’m really trying. But I guess it’s some consolation that my busy brain hates it so much that it rather prefers the boring task of going to sleep over reading this.

listening to the andy serkis audiobook:
i'm back on my nerd stuck in a room bullshit. talking to other people? what's that?
last time i read tolkien i was depressed, hopefully this is not a leitmotif lmao

pls understand if i saw gintoki being serious i would have to do breathing exercises, i want this man so bad- he's the blueprint. also, kagura baby <3

chapter 17- this could literally be a sitcom

the art style is SO FUCKING GOOD. tickles my brain, makes me salivate etc etc. the colors, god.
there's an author dude with messy hair and rancid personality so you know i'm interested

so fucking fascinating!! it also gives me a tiny bit of sucker punch vibe where the narrative seems to be detached from the characters a bit. And you know i am ALWAYS looking for things that remind me of sucker punch aaaaaahh this was such a jackpot. 10/10 best manhwa i have read but i'll wait till the end about manga comparison because well 'fruits basket' is there

'who knew meeting in the middle could be so joyful' ohmygod they're so damn cute.
aaaah it did save me.

i forgot that natori's family literally has a tea plantation like this guy is hot, rich and nice (fictional guy ofc). He's also weird but honestly who isn't (hint:boring peeps)

save me body odour kink romance manga

enough junk food, I think I wanna read some real books from now- at least I should avoid mangas for a bit, I think it's reducing my attention span greatly, I just keep scrolling through manga pages
