*shaking my fist at the sky* forms!!!!

I’m taking a break before I take Malory’s advice and seke other bookis of Kynge Arthure, drawyn by a knyght presoner, sir Thomas Malleorré.

this is sooo wild but the 15th century spellings are really hammering me and making this a very slow read. there’s only so much ‘me forthynkith hit that thus shall me betyde, but God may well fordo desteny’ that I can take in one sitting

& now for something completely different

it’s the christmas holidays and I need brain rotting romantasy for the next week until my mind can process words again

daphne du maurier season lets gooooooooo

brb rotting in frantic love

sorry to all the physical books on my bedside table that I’ve started, I checked this out from the library a week ago and time’s ticking

huan the dog deserves the world

the ideal man is a clump of plant matter that THINKS it’s a man

“The Author's Apology for his Book:

When at the first I took my pen in hand
Thus for to write, I did not understand
That I at all should make a little book
In such a mode; nay, I had undertook
To make another; which, when almost done,
Before I was aware, I this begun.”

i’m back to being a teen obsessed with fictional characters ! ive been listening to a fever you can’t sweat out all morning !

2023 reread via audiobook! 💚 howard shore’s soundtrack alongside is chef’s kiss

now for something with less words

will punch Alan Moore in the head if I ever meet him for writing a 42 page chapter entirely written like this: “Her, she carn miander reedily betwin he pa’stime and her fewcheers; betorn hear an’ dare; bewhether wan welt under noxt”. I get that every sentence has layers of meanings or whatever but jesus christ

i’m having a final showdown with Alan Moore and will not stop until I throw him down and finally finish Jerusalem

ok back to kulaks

really tried with this but am giving up, just couldn’t gel with the analogies and I think I’d get more out of reading someone like thich nhat hanh :-(
