Russian folklore goes hard

In honor of my geriatrics rotation

I LOVE

My thoughts on Russian folklore storytelling so far: less fluff and lots more snow than their western counterparts

starting my Russian literature phase

fall weather means running season means new high fantasy audiobook series!!!

love u wichita

I have no clue what’s going on or what timeline we’re in, but I love the mix of Chinese morality/philosophy and video games

Rowling and Sanderson… masters of a climactic ending

I feel it coming…. an all-night binge read, curled up in my chair with a glass of wine

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Meena: *contributes major improvements to understanding and capturing Dracula*

Men: “thanks for doing that, but now we’re worried about your mental frailty. Stop and go be a housewife.”

Men: “thank goodness she’s safe, we’re so worried she couldn’t handle all the stress. We’re so gentlemanly by excluding her from our work”

Meena: *gets preyed upon by the enemy because she’s left alone*

“Doctor, you don't know what it is to doubt everything, even yourself. No, you don't; you couldn't with eyebrows like yours.”

Reading this book is like training for a half marathon. I have to readjust myself to the language, the pace, and most importantly, the frailty of 19th century women. But it is a delightful mystery that goes far beyond what I imagined!

I’ve been reading this book for weeks now & I’m having major trouble connecting with the characters, the story, and the pacing… I know it’s good quality writing but Isabelle is an impulsive fool and Vianne is a weak fool. They make me so frustrated I literally can’t read more than 30 mins at a time

(Please don’t hate me, I believe Kristin Hannah is brilliant)

picked this up in the alburgue for a quick read on the train to barcelona

I just love them

“Stop worrying about dying, Winston, and find something worth living for”

Interesting use of physical reality to counter conformist thought control

a comfort read during my last few days in thailand
