Shit ppl don’t get about Dyslexia

What Dyslexia does mean:

Memory problems

Reading comprehension can be difficult

Difficulty articulating ideas/points

Words can move around (on a page or in the head)

Slower writing

Short attention span

Can effect every-day things like paying for food and talking to friends

Can be a genuinely life effecting disorder

What Dyslexia doesn’t mean:

You’re just bad at spelling

They must be bad at English

That person is dumb

sometimes u just gotta clean your room and apply an elaborate skincare routine and pretend that’s equivalent to getting ur life in order

Favourite Opening Lines

These are some of my favourite first lines of books:

“The snow in the mountains was melting and Bunny had been dead for several weeks before we came to understand the gravity of our situation.” - The Secret History (Donna Tartt)

“Mr and Mrs Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much.” - Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone (J. K. Rowling)

“It was a pleasure to burn.” - Fahrenheit 451 (Ray Bradbury)

"All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." - Anna Karenina (Leo Tolstoy)

This is so true, the money it would take to feed my reading habit is just not doable. The library gives me all I could ever want....FOR FREE!

I really miss reading in the summer!

booktuber: now, i only read SIX BOOKS this month, which is WAY below my goal...

booktuber: i read fifty books last year, and i'm hoping to top that this year!

booktuber: this book took me an unusually long time to read, a whole week.

me and my book-loving but easily-distracted ass, with a pile of unread books and one book that i've been working on for two months: *looks into the camera like i'm on the office*

Hello Readers

This is a brand new book blog. I already have a YouTube channel but I would love a more ‘rant friendly’ platform for me to spew my thoughts about the books I read. I intend to have bookish post of all types. Also open to all bookish chats.
