... One night a friend lent me a book of short stories by Franz Kafka. I went back to the pension where I was staying and began to read The Metamorphosis. The first line almost knocked me off the bed. I was so surprised. The first line reads, “As Gregor Samsa awoke that morning from uneasy dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect. . . .” When I read the line I thought to myself that I didn’t know anyone was allowed to write things like that. If I had known, I would have started writing a long time ago. ...

Last week was a bit slower on the preorder front, but I still added some new books to my library! I’m really excited for If We Survive This because it reminds me a lot of another LGBTQ horror book I read and adored.

Which books are you adding to your TBR at the end of June? 📚✨

do you have a favourite book that you love with all your heart but would never recommend to someone without knowing them super well because of the uh, content matter? mine is Throne of Bones by Brian McNaughton. and if you want to tell me yours…. I’m always looking for something to read 👀

Things don't have purposes, as if the universe were a machine, where every part has a useful function. What's the function of a galaxy? I don't know if our life has a purpose and I don't see that it matters. What does matter is that we're a part. Like a thread in a cloth or a grass-blade in a field. It is and we are. What we do is like wind blowing on the grass.

–Ursula K. Le Guin, The Lathe of Heaven
