Heavy

The sexist and xenophobic yassification of standardized French 💅
(So basically, French people are no longer allowed to correct my grammar 😀)

Obsédé 🤩

The fact that naming the dog Schmerz (pain) was even on the table 😂

Mans loves his beans

Literally medicine I needed to hear this.

Just motivated me to clean my whole apartment

Wholesome old people romance

The most detailed, fantastical yet grim description of a Okapi sleep demon I never would have expected 🥺 it’s kinda cute

“If I knew for a certainty that a man was coming to my house with the conscious design of doing me good, I should run for my live, as from that dry and patching wind of the African deserts called the simoon, which filled the mouth and nose and ears and eyes with dust till you are suffocated, for great that I should get some of his good done to me,—some of its virus mingled with my blood.”

Quirky, yet tremendously elegant. Lyrical almost.
The content itself is so freaking weird but I love love love it. Also the cover art is so cute ahhh. Okapis! And you know instead of them being cute—they are the source of all misfortune in this story. The Okapi, the recurring nightmare, launching the town into hysteria. I love it.

So I just discovered I really enjoy German literature. Starting my first German novel and i swear im about to go feral. I only read the prologue and knew this is where I was meant to be

Okay so like he really did that shit. 😮‍💨 y’all I’m finna 🏃🌲🪓=🏠

People make me feel like I’m being so damn dramatic when I express my complete disdain for our societal expectations. This is the affirmation and validation I needed: all this is actually bullshit. Likewise—and fortunately— Thoreau appears to have optimistic intentions with writing Walden. It isn’t just: “I ABANDONED society for 2 years 😤🫶🏼😎 here’s what I learned.” This is medicine.

What the dog doin’? 🤨

Already top 5 books

You know that tiktok sound that’s goes: listening to True Crime be like “Her arms were cut off. Her nose was cut off. Her eyeballs were plucked out. Her eyebrows were then waxed—😀”

Bruh what the absolute hellll.

Debilitating anxiety driven descent into madness while two absolute baddies excite and haunt your dreams 😌

GAKDJDHSKD I’m spooked ‼️‼️

🤩

Kafka really induced a panic attack during my 8am tea time. My toes are curled 😤

Damn this shit kinda fire

This is so good and sometimes I can’t tell if the author is kidding but woah

Absolutely immersed in this historical account.
