A new day. Thank God it’s Friday! I have a busy weekend ahead, literally no breaks since I have 4 comprehensive exams on Saturday and Sunday, a possible picture-taking session on Sunday for student council campaign, and then requirements and manuals due next week.

I don’t know how I’ll do it all, but one step at a time. I’ll go crazy without my planner, tbh. It keeps me afloat.

it’s been a while since i posted on here! but here is one of my favorite annotated books to date — circe by madeline miller ☀️ circe’s story is powerful and so magnetic, and i’ve got quotes from the book plastered on my desk to give me a boost of motivation ✨ needless to say, i loved it 🥰 i just recently launched a patreon (link in bio!) and i plan on doing a deep dive on my annotations and book reviews very soon. exciting things are happening! 🪄 https://www.instagram.com/p/CgHbPNbvVVi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

the goldfinch by donna tart — thoughts so far: i’m 250 pages in and still really liking it! i love the lulling grieve and trauma that lingers where we see theo getting somewhat out of his shell, yet still constantly being struck by the fact that his mom is gone. i love the new characters introduced and just the whole pacing of the plot. you may say the story’s dense in some way, but i think the details make it that much more realistic. i honestly have no idea what to expect moving forward, but i’m just happy to go along with the ride 🥰 . how do you guys feel about big books? i know it depends on the genre as well, but what are your general thoughts on it? 📖 https://www.instagram.com/p/CfoXojVPZuG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

annotating one of the reads in our dark academia book club!

I used to be scandalized by the thought of annotating anything outside of my literature classes' texts (and even that made me feel guilty)... until a friend lent me a copy of a book they'd annotated. It was the most intimate and beautiful reading experience. Now, I like the idea of owning a unique copy of my favorite books.

I usually annotate books I'm reading for the first time as PDFs on my iPad, and I prefer to have two copies of any book I physically annotate. That way, I can lend out the "clean" one to people I don't want seeing my innermost thoughts...

As a perfectionist (in the worst way) annotating books has helped me work through the perfectionist and self-doubt issues that have previously stopped me from writing in all the beautiful notebooks I buy. Yeah, the ones that are made for writing in...

If the book is not a rare edition, and there are millions of copies of it out in the world, why not leave your mark? of all the books that gather dust, or get destroyed and go to landfills, before they are even read... why think that the one you've read so closely, and interacted with so indelibly, and annotated in pen and highlighter and bathwater and tears, is a waste?

Your thoughts are worth the paper they are written on, even if that paper already has words on it, even if your words are imperfect, and maybe especially because they are... 🖤

Today I:

Read first thing in the morning

Journaled

Finished reading and annotating an historigaphical article

Started reading and highlighting another article

Practiced Irish on duolingo

Listened to an audiobook

My energy levels are still not at their best, but today was certainly better than yesterday. I did a lor of progress in reading The Exorcist, and I'll probably finish it by the end of the day, certainly by the end of the week. I am also almost done with the audiobook of Brave New World, so I'll have to look for a short read to keep me company next week before I leave for my holidays. Before the end of the day I'd like to spend a bit of my time doing something creative, so I'll might work on a cover for my new thesis notebooks since I'll soon have to move into another journal. In these past couple of months these very basic creative things like working on my bullet journal has been so beneficial for my mental health.

Another one of this spread, finished now : -).

It's been such strange weather here; hot sun, cold winds, thunder, hail and constant unpredictable showers all week!! ⛈️☀️ And then moody clouds like in this photo I took over the wall, indecisive about what they're gonna do next

my progress in annotating the night circus part 1! all the memories are coming back to me and ugh all i want to do is read this book in bed all snuggled up with a cup of decadent hot chocolate 🥺☕️💫 . these two pages were just pure magic ✨ being whisked away to a serene forest in the middle of a london downpour sounds amazing 🍃🤍 (at Perth, Western Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdQiB8VPF29/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Clearest Images of Jupiter ever taken

These beautifully real images are some of the closest images of Jupiter. Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and the largest in the Solar System. It is a gas giant with a mass more than two and a half times that of all the other planets in the Solar System combined, but slightly less than one-thousandth the mass of the Sun. The original image was captured by JunoCam, the camera on NASA's Juno mission in orbit around Jupiter. This image was taken on Juno's 22nd close pass by Jupiter on Sept. 12, 2019 with image processing done by Prateek.
