The Book Dutchess

And by Adventure I mean through the pages of a book! I am 24 years old and absolutely love reading! I try and read as often as possible. My goal in life is to create a library in my house that makes people want to fall into the pages. In this blog you'll find a combination of books I am reading ( I may add in my thoughts if they are passionate enough), my own book collection, my TBR pile (ever growing), and possibly a little bit of studyblr in there too! I am open to all kinds of questions and recommendations and I will also provide them!!! I hope you enjoy this journey of my first blog!

i am so done with everything jfc

[books-and-cookies]

and i am so so fucking tired, like physically i can’t remember the last time i slept without a care or like… enough to function

[books-and-cookies]

in other news, i’m still tired lolol

[books-and-cookies]

I’m genuinely so stressed and worried about life, money, everything… i just need to be able to press pause on life and just rest

[books-and-cookies]

you know what the fucked up part is? I feel like I’m exaggerating and I’m a drama queen and actually things aren’t as bad as i make them, i’m not as tired as i make myself to be and i just like to complain lolololol

[books-and-cookies]

and shit just keeps piling up i genuinely can’t anymore

[cassidylovesbooks]

Oh sweetie I know your pain. I hope you are able to find that day to relax and decompress. I don’t want to spew off some bullshit of “it’ll get better” or “everything happens for a reason”. So what I am going to say is, don’t forget about yourself! Take that mental health day if you need it even if it means just staring out a window or sleeping on and off all day.

Pansy: Never have I ever flashed a bartender to get a free drink

Ron & Draco: *drink*

Pansy: You guys know how the game works, right? You drink if you have done it

Ron: Oh, we understand

Ginny: Never have I ever had sex in the back of a car

Hermione: No way. Everyone’s done that?

Everyone: Yeah

Blaise: Except for you

Hermione: Draco, you’re telling me you had sex in the back of a car?

Draco: Actually, it was on the train *cough* with Harry

Hermione: …

Harry: Look, we’ve done like nine rounds of this, and you haven’t drunk once, Hermione

Ron: Maybe we should play something else that actually gets you drunk

Pansy: I love you, honey, but you haven’t had the craziest life

Hermione: That’s not true. I’ve done stuff. Just say ones that are a little less wild

Draco: Uh, never have I ever made a turn without signalling

Hermione: Okay, a turn is a big deal. It’s not like you said…never have I ever changed lanes without signalling

Harry: Never have I ever changed lanes without signalling

Hermione: You guys are insane!

Ron: Never have I ever accepted the terms and conditions without reading them

Hermione: It’s too risky

Pansy: Left a movie without watching the credits

Hermione: Those people worked hard!

Ginny: Used more than the recommended amount of conditioner

Hermione: They make the conditioner. They know what they’re doing!

Everyone: *sigh*

Bring Me Back

By B. A. Paris

Finn and Layla are young, in love, and on vacation. They’re driving along the highway when Finn decides to stop at a service station to use the restroom. He hops out of the car, locks the doors behind him, and goes inside. When he returns Layla is gone—never to be seen again. That is the story Finn told to the police. But it is not the whole story. Ten years later Finn is engaged…

Happy weekend, lovelies! Have a colourful one, ideally with great books <3

Just remember. There is no such thing as a fake geek girl. There are only fake geek boys. Science fiction was invented by a woman.

[sourcedumal]

[shuttersmiley]

Specifically a teenage girl. You know, someone who would be a part of the demographic that some of these boys are violently rejecting.

[foxsan-deactivated20140515]

Isaac Asimov.

[sim0nbaz-deactivated20170205]

yo mary shelley wrote frankenstein in 1818 and isaac asimov was born in 1920 so you kinda get my point

[fancyeliza-deactivated20200804]

If you want to push it back even further Margaret Cavendish, the duchess of Newcastle (1623-1673) wrote The Blazing World in 1666, about a young woman who discovers a Utopian world that can only be accessed via the North Pole - oft credited as one of the first scifi novels

Women have always been at the forefront of literature, the first novel (what we would consider a novel in modern terms) was written by a woman (Lady Muraskai’s the Tale of Genji in the early 1000s) take your snide “Isaac Asimov” reblogs and stick it

even in terms of male scifi authors, asimov was predated by Jules Verne, HG Wells, George Orwell, you could have even cited Poe or Jonathan Swift has a case but Asimov?

PbbBFFTTBBBTBTTBBTBTTT so desperate to discredit the idea of Mary Shelly as the mother of modern science fiction you didn’t even do a frickin google search For Shame

[cryptovalid]

And if you want to go back even further, the first named, identified author in history was Enheduanna of Akkad, a Sumerian high priestess.

[gunthatshootsennui]

Kinda funny, considering this Isaac Asimov quote on the subject:

Mary Shelley was the first to make use of a new finding of science which she advanced further to a logical extreme, and it is that which makes Frankenstein the first true science fiction story.

[deathcomes4u]

Even Isaac Asimov ain’t having none of your shit, not even posthumously.

[velocigrey-deactivated20160825]

You know what else was invented by women? Masked vigilantes, the precursor to the modern superhero. Baroness Emma Orczy wrote The Scarlet Pimpernel in 1905. The character would later inspire better known masked vigilantes such as Zorro and Batman.

Got that?

[bettieleetwo]

Stick that in your international pipe and smoke it

I have literally been telling people this for over a year.

[athenadark]

the first extended prose piece - ie a novel, was not, as many male scholars will shout, Don Quixote (1605) but The Tale of Genji (1008) written by a woman

[thepsychicclam]

The first autobiography ever written in English is also attributed to a woman, The Book of Margery Kempe (1430s).

[ladynorbert]

The day may come when I find this post and do not reblog it, but it is not this day.

Since A Series of Unfortunate Events was given a second chance with a Netflix series after the terrible movie with Jim Carey, I think it’s only fair that Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olympus gets a Netflix series after the two horrible book to film adaptations.

BOOKHAUL aka I-probably-shouldnt-be-allowed-in-a-bookstore-for-the-next-week

[lost-in-books94]

I started reading this book last night. And I’m just so excited! I’ve been meaning to read this for some time now, I did try reading it when I first bought it probably a year ago but I guess I was feeling a bit distracted that I put it aside. Anyway, lately I’ve just been wanting to finally get to the books that I’ve owned for a while now, because I feel like the longer I leave it, I’m probably not going to get to it. 

Also, I just finished sorting some “boring being an adult stuff” out- haha, so now I’m just going to read and order Indian food tonight- yassss! 

Oh yeah, I posted this on Instagram yesterday and the author John Gwynne commented and I’m just here like- ahhh! Haha

[bookofmirth]

One day when I pass, someone will find all my books and think I must have been so smart.

I won’t have read most of them. But they’ll still think I must have been a genius because they won’t know that.
