Mama’s home (author friend told me goodreads reviews carry more weight in the industry so fuck Amazon but here I am)

“Give me, please, bad food made by a person who loves me.”

“You can be too poor or too ill or too overwhelmed to obtain a grilled cheese sandwich, but the thought of one is attainable to anyone; the ideal is there, pleasant to the mind parched of gladness.”

“Behold my nightmare: a tick had bitten my vagina.”

“Grieving without memory is like bleeding without a wound.”

Uh oh feeling those darn complicated feelings about my parents, time to go reread On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous

My goal of being a professional hater is coming to fruition because I am currently rereading A Little Lie with the intention of ripping it apart in an article I’m pitching

Biggest of shoutouts to the professor who the final time I talked to her started the conversation with “is there something wrong with you?” and did not elaborate. Started her book today because this time of year reminds me of her class.

"When education is not liberating, the dream of the oppressed is to become the oppressor" - Paulo Freire

FINALLY some lizard Dracula representation

If you voted for Donald Trump feel free to unfollow me now because I’m about to talk a lot of shit about him

APPARENTLY THE GOODREADS GIVEAWAYS ACTUALLY WORK SO??? I GOT THIS IN THE MAKL TODAY??

“Let people enjoy things” is usually for booktok smut but in my case it’s Emily Wilson’s Odyssey

On this account we acknowledge some of the frustrating elements of Emily Wilson’s translations and we stan anyways.

“But Milo was different, and it was visible in everything from the way he sat on a bucket in the corner to eat his sandwich at lunchtime, neither consumed with his own thoughts nor engaging in conversation, looking at nothing, just being there, a man on a bucket eating a sandwich, gentle even to the space he occupied.”

“He bought the farm with cash, trying to turn all his money into something else. To spin it into something thing true and real and invulnerable to influence . So we drove up to the woods where irony didn’t live, where a full set of teeth was a pretentious thing to have, and we took responsibility. For him, this was what the animals were for.”

“Here was an attempt to create a sympathizer link between the man and the woman through his consuming her blood and other bodily fluids…..By using her menstrual blood to charm a man, therefore, a woman was using a powerful, intimate material that was inherently linked to sex, passion, and life.”

There’s an argument somehow here about Dracula, sexual desires, and forcing menstruation. COL Z would be so proud

“Likewise young unmarried men were seen as problematic: pent-up sexual frustration was recognized as leading to rash decision-making, violent outbursts, and all-round riotous behavior.”

A good metric for what books I decide to give 5 absolute stars is if I would get a tattoo inspired by the book

WHAT A LINEEEEEEE

Not to be a bitch, but some of these seems like they were pulled from the rejection pile of essay submissions
