We Read to Know We Are Not Alone

This blog is all about books! I love reading, I really like Young Adult books, usually about Sci-Fi/Love, but I just in general love reading! Suggest books for me to look into. P.S. I don't own any of the quotes, all of them come from books I've read or am currently reading

dear god the sheer magic of being so invested in a book you just sit and read half of it feverishly without any ability to stop, just gulping down word after word like it’s water in a desert and your eyes aren’t fast enough for your mind and when you reach the last page you look up and realize you’re not decades and miles away but in the space of your own room,,,, truly unmatched by any other human experience

My TBR jar was not nice to me this month. So many physical only books, barely any audio books in sight. I'm also carrying over Baby Teeth from March. This includes my TBR for the #magicalreadathon2020 as well as my TBR jar

I’m seeing a lot of the same books on my dash, so I spent a few hours researching some lesser-known books. These books fall across a variety of genres and age group.

25 Black-owned bookstores you can support right now

while i don’t claim to be a “book blogger” by any account (more of a cranky publishing-person blogger most days), i know a lot of people have followed me through my book posts, so i’m taking advantage of that captive audience to boost these bookstores. shop them through their own websites and if you’re local, look into curbside pickup to minimize shipping costs and overhead. okay that’s all thanks bye stay safe.

I was so totally not aware that people didn’t know that being sorted into Houses was a real thing in UK schools. It’s not something made up just for the Harry Potter world, it’s a real schooling system, I was in the St George House at my school and everyone had the same attitude to Prefects as everyone in the HP world did to Percy Weasley I can assure you.

Does anyone else do that thing while reading where your eyes are like 3 lines ahead of where your brain is?

[bluequestionmark]

Do you mean skipping to the next paragraph and not being able to stop yourself from reading a few lines but then you have to go back to where you were before and try really hard to read in a linear fashion but it's boring now that you know what happens next? Yes
