three random things that make me happy: The sound of the rain, just being with my brother and my friends, long walks, the smell of the sea, reading Harry Potter and Pride and Prejudice over and over again, really looooong hugs.  @whatameshugenah @stryga-came-through @chatantique @huffle555puff @a-study-in-letters it’s okay if you don’t feel like doing this!

I haven't been active for a few months, mainly because I've been feeling disconnected from the things I used to love. I've been experiencing this feeling for a while now, I stopped writing and I don't read nearly as much as I used to.

However, the other day, I picked up 'His Dark Materials' by Philip Pullman and I started reading it with the same enthusiasm I once felt about books.

I'm only halfway through the first book and I'm already in love with it! I strongly recommend it.

I might do a review when I finish it.

Let me know if you have any book suggestions or if you'd like to read a review of a particular book!

Good morning 🌞

I was just wondering who is your favorite fictional character, either from books, movies or tv shows. Mine is pretty obvious, any guesses?

"I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness,

starving hysterical naked,"

Hi everyone, I'm rereading Howl by Allen Ginsberg while on a much-needed study break. It is one of my favorite poems of all time, especially the beginning. Have you ever read it? If so, what are your thoughts on the beat generation?

Out of Africa

I just started reading this one while on a train trip around my country. We travelled for a week and I had the chance to catch up on my readings. I never felt more at peace. Have you read it? What are your thoughts about it?
