I still have to read House of Leaves.

[the-crab-demigod]

Oh yeah the house of leaves is cool.

Tho I've heard the structuring of the writing is crazy.

And yes, there is (in fact) a house

Is it made of leaves tho? Idk.

[books-not-crabs]

I promise you - no one has to read house of leaves.

It's not worth it. Honest. Please take my word for it.

When you sit down anywhere, there is a 50% chance that a cat will appear and fall asleep in your lap for 1-3 hours

(If you wake up the cat, the chances will increase by 5%)

Any craft material you bend will bend incorrectly the first time, permanently causing a crease that you do your best to fix but it never fully leaves.

What I'm Currently Reading

The Catcher In The Rye is one of the most banned books in America.

I read this one a lot in high school, and I'm reading it for the first time since 1998. Yes, I'm reading it for the first time as an adult.

Its about alienation, and it's also about depression. The main character, Holden Caulfield is telling his story from a psychiatric hospital.

[ineffabildaddy]

honestly? that one David Tennant Richard II Kiss™ is my favourite acted kiss in history

look how ridiculously tender and how achingly desperate it is. so gentle, so kind, and yet so selfish at the same time. i've never seen anything quite so human

just. just look at these

there's something so genuine and chaste about this kiss, while also being gorgeously passionate and heated and...... it's just perfect

[thirstforsalt]

Wait why wasn’t good omens like this

[ineffabildaddy]

because we can’t have nice things i’m afraid

tbh mainstream booktok recommends some of the most overrated books I’ve ever read. The better ones are usually not as well known and actually have a plot and characters with personality

[bibliocharlie]

currently reading ✨

[books-not-crabs]

YES. YES. YES. LOVE this book.

Is it too much to ask for updates? I wanna know what you think of the big fish little fish scene

[nazliwrites]

Any book recommendation that might resemble Ali Hazelwood type? Romance+ education types but like adult education or work stuff and not high school romance???

[books-not-crabs]

Have you read Exit West by Mohsin Hamid? It's a little different, about refugees and sort of a romance, I highly recommend 😊
