huge fan of the smell of those paperback books printed in the ‘80s and ‘90s with slightly brown pages. 💛💛

“I love inscriptions on flyleaves and notes in margins, I like the comradely sense of turning pages someone else turned, and reading passages someone long gone has called my attention to.” ― Helene Hanff, 84, Charing Cross Road

Books of 2023: THE SOUTHERN REACH TRILOGY by Jeff VanderMeer. VanderMeer writes exactly my cup of tea: Weird, fucked up shit with a biological bent, and I am 100% Here For It. I held off on acquiring this trilogy for a weirdly long time, all things considered, but then I found it serendipitously at the Half Price Books where I used to work and I figured it was a sign. Then my excuse was saving it For The Right Time™, which turned out to be during Driscoll revisions (channeling big Weird Vibes over here, and the lighthouse thing is a nice bonus Rell touch), so here we are. I’m currently partway through AUTHORITY and I’m shrieking internally pretty much nonstop.

Unfortunately: The fact that it’s all in one volume means I’m under absolutely no obligation to stop reading, ever, and this is Not Good for me or my bedtimes. But I’m having a great time, and that’s what’s important, right??

#books of 2023 #books #book photography #the southern reach trilogy #southern reach #jeff vandermeer #annihilation #authority #acceptance #hpb was the most cost effective way to acquire said trilogy #(whole thing for $17 instead of each book in PB for about $17...)#but: i do sort of wish i had the paperbacks lol #i currently own BORNE and STRANGE BIRD in paperback and it'd be nice to have them matchy match #i'm also eyeballing his ambergris trilogy because neon covers AND the re-release of his debut because THAT cover looks SUPREMELY UP MY ALLEY #like content and aesthetic wise everything else he's written is just. It.#this is not my favorite cover of southern reach but it was there and it was cheap #(and i was unemployed at the time and that took priority apparently)#anyway now that my pictures are posted i'm gonna go reeeeead!!!

sometimes, i get an idea in my head that sticks around for a couple days like an annoying fly following you. it's not enough to tell it to go away, the only way out is through and i can't help but scramble for my phone and the notes app that only grows with every new thought.

god, thinking is exhausting.

not to be excessively picky or anything, but the Protector of the Small book covers keep getting uglier with each new edition.

#my original paperbacks (already ugly as fuck) got read to absolute tatters by 2011 and i never bothered replacing them #but i reread the series from my library and i miss owning them so i went looking and oof. bad.#I've ordered the original hardcovers used instead of caving to shitty YA fantasy aesthetics.#¶
