Yes Linds this book is terrible can’t wait to read it for the third time (don’t start something ironically kids)

If this turns out to all be a metaphor I’m gonna be so mad y’all

This is terrible I love it

There is a saying down here / I’d never heard before /I hate it for you / It means, if you’re alone/ when love is all around / We all tip our lonely hats in one un-lonely sound

"Everywhere we go, no matter how hard we try to avoid it, capitalism follows us."

IS THERE NO ESCAPE EVEN IN A BOOK ABOUT SPACE???

Super excited to listen to this audiobook during recovery!

"It is a supremely cruel thing to have your mind conjure a desire which it is functionally unable to realize. No one teaches you how to handle the death of a dream."

"Passing me again, they make a loud whisper, the amplified wingbeat of so many birds finding a common purpose, a soft, determined boom. I have used up all my energy just to see this, and it was worth it. But how could I ever justify that to the outside world? How could I ever admit that I chose the muffled roar of starlings over the noisy demands of the workplace?"

This is the very first Miss Marple I ever read at the age of 12 and I'm so excited to revisit it and see what I remember!

• "What is hell? I maintain that it is the suffering of being unable to love."
• "The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for."

"You will burn and you will burn out; you will be healed and come back again."

Listen y'all I'm obsessed

“All belongs to all. All things are for all men, since all men have need of them, since all men have worked in the measure of their strength to produce them, and since it is not possible to evaluate every one’s part in the production of the world’s wealth.”

I’ve heard this is a psychological thriller (looking at you ETrade) but so far it’s just about racism & gentrification💀

I’m *obsessed*✨

“It is impossible to live a pleasant life without living wisely and well and justly, and it is impossible to live wisely and well and justly without living pleasantly.”

Let’s gooooooooo

Okay I know that this is like iconic and all but it’s feeling kinda WASPy

“We were told there is a right way to have a body, and our apologies reflected our indoctrination into that belief. We believed there was indeed a way in which our bodies were wrong. Not only have we been trying to change our “wrong bodies” but we have also continued to apologize for the presumed discomfort our bodies rouse in others.”

HOW am I expected to finish the 3 nonfiction books I’m reading when Agatha Christie had the AUDACITY to combine Poirot’s mysteries with Roman mythology?! Impossible.

I just realized that the Wayfair human trafficking scandal is the exact plot of this book and don’t know how to process that information

2020 is truly a dumpster fire but it is also the year I’ve dedicated to rereading my most beloved childhood series. This was by far my favorite book of the bunch so ya girl’s got high expectations!

Denmark really do be a prison tho (Act 2 Scene 2)

So you’re telling me everyone can see this ghost and they’re just cool with it???

“My name is Hercule Poirot, and I am probably the greatest detective in the world.”

This. Is. So. Amazing.

IT’S HAPPENING. MY 6+ MONTHS OF WAITING FOR THE LIBRARY EBOOK IS UP. EVERYBODY STAY CALM.
