White Nights - ⭐️⭐️⭐️
It's (almost) a comfort to know that situationships were a thing two hundred years ago.

FYI, I almost cried twice today and I blame Remus Lupin for both occasions. 😤

I missed this Bible study group so much

🎾🚬🌀🐹

Ok, not to expose how behind I am in this read but on page 95 is the line “Pemulis, who can stand about ten seconds of communal silence tops, clears his” unbolded for everyone or is my copy of the book just tweaking?

About to go back to school just so that I can write a thesis on how Smash Mouth’s “All Star” is the antithesis to the character arc of Aragorn, son of Arathorn.



I just needed to get that off my chest.

Andy Serkis just “sang”(?) the poem that eventually became the legendary “Edge of the Night” in the films.

My eardrums are now bleeding.

Tolkien always lost me in his insistence to explain his world’s lore down to the minute detail. Like, bruh, just put it in the index and let me enjoy the plot!! But, I’ve been on an old school fantasy kick recently and decided to put on this audiobook at work to help scratch the itch.
Guys, this SLAPS. I think I like Tolkien.

Wth is this

This first scene(?) from YEAR OF THE DEPEND ADULT UNDERGARMENT—an actual masterclass in the stream of conscious writing style. 🙌

Watch out, Virginia Woolf.

Thoughts and prayers pls

Also—just an immediate observation that I am way too mentally exhausted right now to look up myself, but is Hal being named Hal a reference to the best character (totally unbiased opinion) in the Shakespeare canon?

Dear FBI, I promise I’m not a Marxist.

Ok, I get the hype. David Grann is as good of a storyteller as he is an investigative journalist. The way he brings this crew and their story back to life through a narrative that is entirely based on logbooks, journals, letters, and court records is insane. I’m like one chapter away from singing sea shanties myself.

"You must go back with me to the autumn of 1827."

Guys, I’m obsessed. I’ve got to stop reading cause lots of school but THESE BOOKS ARE TOO GOOD!

I always intended to read this series but never got to as a child. But at long last,I have decided to give the series a shot. Thus far, I’m pleased to say that I am thoroughly enjoying it! I find the writing to be charming(despite the “horrors” of the story) and I really love these characters. Wish I could just finish it in one go, but I’ve got essays to write and tests to study for.

“...but I am not like you. If you knew my thoughts; the dreams that absorb me; and the fiery imagination that at times eats me up and makes me feel society, as it is, wretchedly insipid, you would pity me and I dare say despise me.” - Charlotte Bronte

“The letters of famous people can be placed into two categories: there is the type of letter which becomes itself a valuable contribution to literature through its wit, style, or wisdom; another kind is that whose main importance lies in the provision of a background to their author’s life.”

I know, I’m zooming through this book but it’s soo addicting. However, I am starting to find some things in here that I don’t really care for...

When you’ve got a bunch of schoolwork to complete, but this book is too addicting...

“If I have learned anything in this long life of mine, it is this: In love we find out who we want to be; in war we find out who we are.”
So far, I’m really loving this book and all it’s strong female characters.
