i only recently started reading again. i hadn’t for years, mostly because of an inability to find the books i wanted. so, partially because i didn’t want anyone to go through the same thing, partially so i can show off my ~excellent taste~, i decided to start uploading books i love or plan to read~

"we cut the nobody scene from the odyssey" "we cut the religious trauma and parental abuse from carrie" i'm starting to think that studios barely funding original films is starting to have an effect where directors make up a story and then slap an IP on it in order to sell. or maybe some bitches just can't read anymore idk it's one or the other
