Libraries, dude

Libraries are the BEST. You're telling me I can borrow this book for FREE and I can use the computers for FREE??? You're telling me this whole space HAS TO BE QUIET??? This place is somewhere you can go FOR FREE???

You can enter a secondhand bookshop with the intention of only buying one thing

HOW TO BEAT THE TBR PILE: 

be the alpha

direct eye contact helps 

read books without adding more the pile

what do you mean you bought more books

stop it 

put those down

[thesesummersonspoet]

READER PROBLEMS:

your tbr pile is bigger than you

trying to carry 17 books at once 

loving a book no one else has read so there’s no fandom

going on a two hour car journey so you pack 10 books 

“just in case”

Jane Austen really said ‘I respect the “I can fix him” movement but that’s just not me. He’ll fix himself if knows what’s good for him’ and that’s why her works are still calling the shots today.

Cosy Mysteries

April has brought us a lot of rainy days so far, and on those days, it’s best to curl up with a cup of tea and a book. And, what better genre to read on a rainy day than cosy mysteries? If you’re unsure about what a cosy mystery is, you’ll find that a lot of them are centred around small communities, avoid graphic details and have an amateur sleuth as the protagonist. If any of this appeals, then maybe this is the genre for you!

March Reviews

Hopefully, this will be the last of the monthly round-up/one-paragraph review posts. I haven’t got too much left of uni before the summer break and as I’ve caught up with reviews, it shouldn’t seem as daunting. However, let’s get on with what I read in March:

alright for the millionth time I'm seeing yet another author I admire talk about how they literally can barely afford to live & yet there are people openly admitting to pirating their books so, like

i guess it needs to be said again

pirating books is not the same as pirating your favourite Disney movie or whatever. book piracy kills author's incomes and can genuinely ruin someone's career

[daemonmatthias]

Textbooks and other research materials being paywalled by greedy fucking publishing houses who won't pay any of that money to the authors anyway? Pirate them.

Novel written by an author and published through a regular publishing house? BORROW FROM A LIBRARY or buy outright. Do not pirate. The sales/borrow numbers OUTRIGHT determines pay to the author, whether their next book gets greenlit or cancelled, etc.

[stephaniematurin]

Multi-volume series that you want to read the end of? BUY OR LIBRARY.

[porcupine-girl]

You can get ebooks and audiobooks through your library! Don’t pirate books!

[traegorn]

What chucklefuck pirates a book when the Library is right there.

January Reviews

It’s been a very busy couple of months of bouncing between studying and work, and whilst I have been reading, my reviewing has taken the hit. So, to make it a little less stressful for me, I've condensed everything I have read so far in 2023 into one-paragraph reviews. Here is January:
