#but i am this close to buying the book

#good omens #´hello friends!! how are you!! #I hope you're doing well! ( ´ ▽ ` ) #I have a big cough but otherwise I am good! It's nothign bad I am just very slimey #usually I am not a cough person I am not sure where this is coming from #most of the time I just get a stuffy nose #has my nose gotten stronger #but there are good news too I have already found a VERY good chestnut to put into my pocket this autumn!! its very small! (❁´▽`❁) #it's been a very warm autumn in Germany so far so it has not really felt like fall yet #but yesterday it was all rainy and stormy and I had two new books and it was the best day possible to have a slimey cough (: #and now I feel SO much autumn I am close to buying a set of window colors #I do not know what I would to with the window colors I just have this strong urge in me to buy a window color set #the last time I did a window color was at the birtday of a class mate I think she turned 9 and I made a deer #but for some reason we did this craft 5 minutes before we all had to leave so we had to carry our window color deer home wet #unfortunatly for the deer and me I fell down the stairs of her house and smeared the deer all over me and i screamed the entire drive home #which wasn't very long but it probably felt very long for the mother who had a screaming child covered in window color deer inside her car

so many books on my tbr and also so many books i have started but not finished and im thinking about reading dostojevskij instead

#yes it IS to get closer to theo #i felt this way when i read tgf last time too. and read like first 100 pages of the idiot actually but then stopped bc illiteracy etc #but im thinking i should take advantage of this desire to get to know my theo more personally and read some russian literature #just like he in turn read it to get closer to boris #swag #i should! im rlly close to finishing little women #eel book may wait #other books may wait as welll #and the goldfinch will be like my bible now i read it on a whole othr dimension #will keep it on my nightstand and read excerpts for the rest of my life wont stop me from reading other books #that is if i get it for my birthday (doubtful but i will wish for it). i only have the same library copy now as i had in 2019 #(as in i borrowed again didnt steal it from the library promise) i never buy books but if i am to own one it should be this one #i read at a snails pace but want to read so many things this is difficult but lets not stress it should a fun thing not stressful #if i read a little everyday or try to #then 'completing books' and checking them off my list and feeling idk productive/accomplished or something doesnt matter #it will be like a lifelong open book instead #if that makes sense #that ill never be done with #and thats fun

the it miniseries dvd is arriving early march i am. going insane. i'm going to have a monthly it movie night it'll be great

#the desire to collect IT stuff is getting out of hand tbh #i am very VERY close to buying the world of IT (which is THIRTY DOLLARS BTW) #and i have 2/7 losers pop figures and i can't very well separate them #and my copy of IT is very beaten up #(idk how this happened tbh middle school me took VERY GOOD care of his books so i have no idea why IT was the exception) #my copy is the 2011 paperback with the orange sky #so i have that copy and i want to get another copy (preferably one with the original cover. idk if they reprinted that but yeah) #so i can keep the new copy on display in perfect condition and admire it from afar #and i can highlight and annotate the shit out of my original copy #i also want at least one of each loser as adults and children from the mystery minis #and then of course theres the part of me that wants to collect physical copies of every movie/song referenced in IT. because. of course. #i don't even HAVE A VHS OR MUSIC (of any type) PLAYER #i DO NOT NEED I WAS A TEENAGE WEREWOLF AND I DO NOT NEED EVERY ALBUM LITTLE RICHARD EVER RELEASED #posts afflicted with a strange sickness

My Christmas presents to myself this year:

.

Could I afford it? No.

Did I know this when I ordered them? Also no. (I genuinely thought I had some discretionary funds.)

Do I regret it? Also no.

#I have been wanting closed-in slip-on shoes that I can wear with socks for... a few years now #Finally got a chance to get a pair #I've also been wanting to read the Silver Chair again for... almost a year now I think #God has a tendency to put a desire on my heart and let it slowly boil into an unbearable longing for a year or two #...this may be in consideration for my need to overthink everything for a year before acting on it #Buying a book is no big deal you'd think #But nooooo #SoMeOnE has to think about it for *literally a year* before acting on it #In related news I am not a spontaneous person #Also I have shoes and Narnia now ^_^

it's been six years since I started playing Fallout 4 and I still am just absolutely obsessed with MacCready. it's ridiculous. I open up his dialogue files to read his interactions with others and the scenery and immediately get a hit of dopamine. magical

#fallout 4 #textpost: fallout 4 #rj maccready #robert joseph maccready #maccready #i truly do not understand #talking about comic books #geeking out about machinery he'd heard about and finally gets to see up close #sarcastic commentary about the people of the past #You think they'll kick us off the lot if we don't buy a ticket? #absolute dweeb #i adore it #also the penchant for violence aspect and the good dad thing?? #good god #i am the target demographic for Robert Joseph MacCready

[magnusbae]

I confess, I am... kinda excited ; w ;

#sometimes i feel like all i do is just work and survive #once in a while get myself a takeout #i work so much and what for #i never buy anything it's so depressing to think about #since bookdepository closed even my occasional 'buy a book i'd never read' shenanigans stopped #i was lately contemplating buying a new pc‚ and while that's undoubtedly a treat‚ it does fall within my very strict: #'a useful electronic' category of allowed expenses #like i was wondering between ps5 / pc but again those are planned for for years now‚ and hardly can be called 'indulgence' given how #one is for work and the other is years overdue since i was waiting for it to be less expensive.. #ah‚ i babble 🙈 #i did decided i will not share this irl though #i figure‚ i want it to be my private little positive treat #without the unnecessary opinions about how a 'book is not worth that much' #i mean i agree but did you see the book #it's the sexiest book i've ever seen in my life #i am not sure if i'll go ahead and get oathbringer in a few years #but wok-wor are literally the two books i love the most #my most beloved #my light in the dark #-coughs- ok ok. #yeah. #this is the most you heard me babble here in a while -laughs- #i've had a rather rough few weeks and has not been present the way i wanted to be-- those i have not yet answered to-- i will-- soon. #buns.txt

someone stop me from spending £50 on the special edition of howls moving castle

#i am this close to buying it #it’s just so pretty #my comfort book #howls moving castle #howls moving castle book

[aroaessidhe]

found a small bitterblue paperback in the secondhand bookstore yesterday so I’m gonna go in tomorrow (hoping it’s still there!) and swap my giant ass hardcover version for it. more space on my shelf...

#laya talks #by swap i mean exchange it and some other books i have for credit and buy the new one for however much #probably a few dollars #i hope its still there.... #a closed and common orbit was also there p cheap so i am considering #(also both versions of bitterblue are the old original cover. the hardcover i have is not nice quality. I just want smaller)

[autistic-shaiapouf]

Okay, mapped out my credit card nonsense and. it's a steep climb but it's definitely possible

#maybe I'll actually get through all my books before i buy a new one lmao #aiming to move forward with the etsy and comms will also help me be at ease but it's also like #there's not a whole lot of reach there and not a lot of promise with those rn U_U i have to try though #it sucks to want to do this for the money but when i feel more financially stable it will definitely be for the fun of it #thank GOD there's a discount grocery store near me and that i only need gas once a month bc im so close to my job #I'm gonna be okay.. it's gonna take time and that's the excruciating part but i can make this work #i am smart and capable and i can do this. i can do this. i WILL do this #shai speaks

current dilemma—do I order the rest of the Lockwood and Co. books now (despite not having started the first one yet and originally planning to just get the others from the library) and spend about $50 to get the UK editions from Book Depository before it shuts down?? or do I just wait for now and save that money and try to track down UK editions some other place at a later date?

#btw I am So Mad about Book Depository closing #like WHY??? AMAZON W H Y ???? #*angry noises* #like I mentioned I was just gonna buy the first one bc it was the only one the library didn’t have #but read the others from the library and save the money #but that was also my decision operating under the assumption that Book Depository would always be there and I could go buy them from there #anytime I wanted #but now that it’s closing and won’t be taking new orders for much longer… blegh. #I hate decisions. have I ever mentioned that I hate decisions?? #gurt says stuff #personal

[pagesofkenna]

I'm not gonna make a whole thing about it, but it's actually... fascinating? to see that Tumblr's mostly unanimously pro-IA in the recent Internet Archive vs book publishers lawsuit, whereas (my section of) Twitter is mostly taking the side of the writers whose copyright is being infringed upon

#i am pro IA as a person and I haven't seen enough information on the situation to fully form an opinion #but it... FEELS like IA is in the wrong here? #yeah if libraries can just buy ebooks and give them out to anyone anywhere whenever... why buy books ever? #its definitely more complicated of a situation but all the scare 'IA will close forever if they have to obey the law!' posts seem... odd? #this is my lukewarm take

In my last personal post I told a story in the tags about a friend I've made in the past several months who used to be friends with a bunch of casually racist cishet white guys and whatnot. I mentioned how she sent me a message the other night about how she really feels like she trusts me and can be herself around me and how good that feels. But that post was about casual racism more than friendship so here's a positive post about friendship. God I just love meeting people and hanging out with them and doing cool things and introducing each other to cool new places. I love emotionally bonding through the gradual reveal of different layers of the self. I love having my set of interests, while they also have their own, but there's a good amount of thematic overlap and exchange and lending each other books and recommending movies and talking about them and stuff. I love when you haven't even known someone long but you can just feel a strong common sympathy there and like you're going to be friends for a long time. Like sometimes it comes out of nowhere when you really don't expect it and aren't looking for it but you're just speaking to someone you just met and shortly into it you're like "!!!!" inside your head because it's like. Wow. I could talk to this person forever. We could just shoot the shit on whatever topic and it would be a good time. Love that all so much.

#the tags i wrote about this friend didn't really show we were close for any other reason than me not being racist to her like the guys #she's just letting go of. but while that's certainly a reason we became closer (me sympathizing w her & finding their behavior disgusting) #obviously that's not like. the sole basis of a lasting friendship. lol. like. there's plenty of white ppl who won't use her to excuse #themselves when they want to be racist for an edgy joke. im not special im just Not Horrible for that. #even if it is new to her i always remind her that there's better out there than them and im not SO exceptional for treating her w respect. #which we all need to be reminded of sometimes if we have a history of toxic friendships/relationships but still. #we're actually bonded much more by our interests and worldviews. like. she LOVES philosophy and is somewhat into poetry #i on the other hand LOVE poetry and am somewhat into philosophy. #we have really interesting conversations and recommendations to each other. i like exchanging thoughts abt what we're reading or watching #we also like to go to secondhand stores and buy old books. and knickknacks and whatnot. #that's been a fun way to bond #and she's taken me to some open mic poetry events in her neighborhood that are AMAZING #i never read my stuff onstage since i was like 15 before her. and ive seen her grow as a performer as she's started doing it. #it's such a cool evolution. i love her. i love spending time w her she's such a cool friend. #tales from diana

for my fellow people that like to read books, here’s the site i use to download those that i cant buy, and here’s where i keep record of the books im reading, that i wanna read, reviews, etcetera (z-library and thestorygraph, respectively)!

#generally i like buying my books bc 1. its easier and more comfortable to read 2. i can share them much easier #3. pride! luxury! i AM a showoff and i love showing off my goods!! but if they're out of the country what can a guy do u_u #tani's personal shit #bookblr #? #anyway im close to being halfway through acceptance! i Will finish this trilogy!

SHES REELING ME IN LIKE A FISH

#as if i was ever fighting #i am falling deeper in love with her than i can ever begin to explain #there is no reference i can make or analogy of comparison #she is something that people dream of #there are billions of people on this planet and our two souls met and i cant even begin to describe how magical that feels #especially her being so far away from me #there is no poem song or book that can come close to describing anything as beautiful and passionate and warm as her heart #the simple fact that she's even in my life makes me feel overwhelmingly lucky #i would say i should try to win the lottery #but i already did #her love warmth compassion and sincerity are greater experiences than anything a dollar amount could buy #every car breaks down eventually #every home can collapse #every fancy watch and nice restaurant and hotel means nothing when i will only be focused on her #there is nothing i can buy sell or trade that will give me the fucking endorphins her smile does #i could sky dive and it would be nothing compared to the sheer exhilarating rush i feel through my body when she says “i love you Phenix” #i would carve her name into the mountains if I didnt find it so special #i feel like the biggest fool for ever taking her for granted and i have lived through hell to find heaven in her #i will not stop until she is mine forever

#i had to go digging through my physical collection for art books I know I have but can't remember the names of to get all the names #i should really get a dedicated bookshelf. this storing them in the boxes I've recieved packages in thing is a bit ridiculous tbh #my brain has no sense of urgency around doing that so it'll be a few months. just like with the chair and the desk lmao #the weirdly high number of addams books compared to others is because...i honestly dunno. i was overcome #i considered getting a charles dana gibson art book. desire for more ethel hays related stuff won and that's how I got flapper queens #the flappers book is so big. in terms of page area I think it's the biggest art book I own #biggest book overall thickness wise is my five in one collection of Charles dickens novels I bought in highschool #I loved his work in middle school and highschool #close second in thickness is the collection of lovecraft works #i wasn't obsessed with his stuff. that was a curiosity buy I think. also made in highschool #haven't read either in years. am interested in rereading them...eventually #syphabelnyades #asks
