Ugh stories about sisters will always hold a special place in my heart. This has been the perfect book to keep my company on a busy travel day!

my goal is to read this before the movie comes out so i can be qualified to judge if it’s a good adaptation or not‼️ (leaning towards not solely based on the first chapter vs the trailer)

i <3 weird horror short story collections with social commentary

realized while listening that most of my knowledge of how presidential races work comes from “red white and royal blue” so it’s interesting to actually learn about real behind-the-scenes strategy

new audiobook! very interesting, love that it’s read by kamala herself, however so far it is making me feel deeply melancholic about all of the possibilities we were so close to and the shit we’re stuck with now so may need to dnf for my own well being lol

I just finished act 3 scene 1 so it feels important to note my favorite interpretation of hamlet’s “to be or not to be” soliloquy is michelle terry’s, absolutely mandatory viewing!

just finished act 2!

ive got tickets to see “hamnet” dec 5th so my goal is to finish hamlet before then 🫡

I’ve checked out this book 4 times since I started reading 9/1…… I’ve got 4 days left w this audiobook if I don’t finish it this week I’m dnfing!

I <3 unhinged female protagonists

I have really been dragging my feet to finish this….. this is my THIRD time checking it out from the library

after following suleika’s newsletter (and unfortunately never taking the time to write based on her journal prompts) for a year now, im excited to use “the book of alchemy” to inspire more reflection. today, i journaled based on the prompt in the essay “dandelions.” i’m looking forward to visiting this collection over a stretch of time, so i expect this to sit in my “reading” for a while!

“for it is precisely how i feel, who have inherited not measurable wealth but, as we all do who care for it, that immeasurable fund of thoughts and ideas, from writers and thinkers long gone into the ground— and, inseparable from those wisdoms because demanded by them, the responsibility to live thoughtfully and intelligently. to enjoy, to question— never to assume, or trample.” sister turtle
