im depressed. need a break.

I’ve been sitting on this one for a while, and it’s fun and easy to read so why not. Let’s do this.

I need an injection of sunshine.

she’s starting to piss me off…but so is he. they’re both annoying

not totally sure where this is going

started this last night. it’s sweet and hilarious! endearing is a good word for milo

Wanted to read this, but there’s suicide so…maybe another time

I fear that I’m in a reading slump not even my faves can pull me out of. But here’s the thing…everyone writes dark shit and it’s exhausting. I loved the first book, but I start reading this one and I’m immediately delved into violence and assault. It’s not fun for me anymore. I’ll pick this back up later

I’ve been reading this for a hot minute and I’m still barely in. It’s super slow. It’s mostly observant and I’m struggling to connect the dots between the science fiction element I was promised and this vague adult coming of age situation. the mystery of what happened to her relationship isn’t even intriguing

slowly but surely making my way through this. she’s weird and detached and I get that for grief but she seems like she’s always let things go on that she didn’t enjoy. she seems to have a hard time reading social interactions even with people she’s extremely close with and she keeps everyone at a distance while being overly intimate in a way that’s awkward for them (not me) — i will say the book is funny

So….I started IPB as a joke, and now I’m here on the third spin-off series. Jokes on me…

i have a penchant for buying books like this and never reading them, but it’s time to crack this one open

…Instagram made me…

I am obsessed with this book. I’m only on the second page post-introduction to the anthology, and I’m obsessed.

I actually follow Blumenhaus on Instagram, which is why the title caught my eye. They do the most gorgeous work. A blend of flowers, fantasy, and folklore.

I can’t help but to write about it as I read. It’s absolutely gorgeous. This page with the floral B that is adorned in a halo is everything.

I fuck with Sleep Token on this playlist

I have been reading this book for a long time. It is gorgeous and it is heartbreaking. I keep needing to put it down. It hurts my feelings every time I read this but I already know in my bones that it will be 5 stars

so excited, i didn’t realize this was the author who wrote pot shot

so ready for this

fave from a fave

i’m back on my literary/contemporary lit

yea…i will in fact be finishing this in 24h

god…this book is filled with powerful scenes—studies of life and adolescence, but also those referential thoughts and self-reflective feelings that never quite go away

this is so fucking good. perfect classic encapsulating writing. i’m there & i’m intruding, i’m omniscient & outsider. so good
