“August rain: the best of the summer gone, and the new fall not yet born. The odd uneven time.” — Sylvia Plath #august #augustvibes #endofsummer #eastboston #eastie #eastieliving #sylviaplath #sylviaplathquote #exploreboston #cottagecore #cottagecoreaesthetic #softacademia #academiaaesthetic #travelgram #travelphotography #citylife #bostonig #plantsofinstagram #plantstagram #travelblogger #writersofinstagram (at East Boston, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChIAEJDr_z-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
i try not to yuck people's yums but one thing i do hate about "bookblr" is whenever i'm like... oh that was a really good book i just read, wonder if anyone else on this site is talking about it. and then i search for it, and unless it's WILDLY popular basically 90% of the posts will just be #aesthetic #darkacademia #lightacademia #softacademia #tbr #studysthetics photographs of the book closed to show off the cover design against a backdrop of houseplants and rainy windows or artfully rumpled bedsheets with a cup of coffee you KNOW just tastes like milk. and 5% irrelevant posts that came up in the search function bc they used some of the words that are in the book's title and maybe, MAYBE 5% people actually talking about the book. honestly, no, 5% sounds too high in my experience.
OR if it's a book by a marginalized author, you'll see lots of posts about "LIST OF BOOKS BY [marginalized group] AUTHORS THAT YOU SHOULD BE READING RIGHT THE FUCK NOW" and still no one actually talking about the book.
Making coffee with full moon water at 8 a.m with a storm raging outside, the rain creating a peaceful melody to the ever comforting silence. My fluffy companion following me to every part of the house, as we enjoy the soft light of dawn slowly take over the dark hues.
“See enough and write it down, I tell myself, and then some morning when the world seems drained of wonder, some day when I am only going through the motions of doing what I am supposed to do... on that bankrupt morning I will simply open my notebook and there it will all be, a forgotten account with accumulated interest, paid passage back to the world out there...” — Joan Didion, Slouching Towards Bethlehem 📖 #eastboston #eastielove #eastbostonlifestyle #exploreboston #travelboston #bostonarchitecture #eastbostonlife #eastie #lamppost #eurovibes #britishvibes #london #travelgram #travelphotography #travelphotography #streetsigns #rowhouse #brickhouse #boston #bostonig #bostondaily #summerinboston #summervibes #vintagevibes #darkacademia #darkacademiaaesthetic #softacademia #bookstagram #bookworm #joandidion #joandidionquotes (at East Boston, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChFi-9OucLn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
