Abolish the YA genre. No more books for young adults. At some point in your adolescence, you just go from reading Goodnight Moon to War and Peace. No more stepping stone in the middle. Grow the fuck up.

Finished two books this week. Normal People, which might not be my favorite Rooney book, but I’m kinda excited to finally watch the show.

Alive at the End of the World was given to me by an (ex) coworker. We bonded over our love of poetry, and Saeed Jones is local to her, so she got this at one of his book signings!

Finished my first book of 2023! Like any mystery novel, I thought I since the mystery halfway thru, then I was humbled when I was 100% wrong on my guess/theories

Giving it a 5/5

She always made sure the bad was outweighed by so much good. I… Well, I didn’t do that for her. I made it fifty-fifty. Which is about the cruelest thing you can do to someone you love, give them just enough good to make them stick through a hell of a lot of bad.

real question to all of my fellow book reading people. how do you guys mark your place? do you use a bookmark, dog ear, memorize the page #, or a secret other thing???? 📚

#today I used a smaller book as a bookmark for my larger book #but usually I just use my snowbaz bookmark that my ex gifted me like 3 years ago

Looking for help on this one!

My sister and I were at my grandma’s and we found this edition of Gulliver’s Travels. There’s no information on when this version was published. It’s the Excelsior Edition of Standard Fiction.

If you need anymore info, please let me know!

Reading The Red Dragon and when Dolarhyde at a priceless watercolor painting at the Brooklyn Museum is peak comedy. I feel like it was the inspiration behind “is it illegal to buy and eat the Mona Lisa?”
