“EAT A DICK, _ !” - Insert dick-worthy thing on the blank. This is one of my favorite (very) quotable lines from @archerfxx , and which pops up in The Art of Archer, written and designed by Neil Holman, with Eric Simms and Matt Thompson. . This book is a great insight into everything that goes on in the making of Archer and how it came to be. Learning more about all the work behind the scenes and what it takes to create everything - from perfect jokes in the script to animated car chases - makes me appreciate it even more. And as a fan, it’s nice to know I have this not-so-little gem to turn to, besides the episodes, for a little dose of “classic Archer” and a quick visit to the ⚠️ DANGER ZONE ⚠️ . . . . . #forloveofletters #bookworm #booklover #booklove #bookish #booktoday #bookloving #booktoday #instabook #bookoftheday #bookquote #bibliophile #bookstagram #bookstagramfeatures #bookcover #quoteoftheday #handwritten #brushlettering #Archer #ArcherFX https://www.instagram.com/p/B1Orh7tgnbZ/?igshid=f89l0t4k0w2s

“We’ll become salt.” - All the Names They Used for God, by Anjali Sachdeva. 🌿 This has not been my favorite read of the year so far. It was one of those books that caught my eye in the bookstagram-wild, and then a #kindle deal did the trick. These are short stories, but it feels weird calling them “stories” since they felt so much like tales, old fashioned, pretty straightforward tales. They’re still pretty entertaining and imaginative though, right up to the last one. . . . . . #forloveofletters #bookworm #bookstagram #booklover #booklove #bookish #instabook #booktoday #bookoftheday #bookcover #bookquote #kindlelove #kindlebook #kindlereads #quotes #quoteoftheday #instaquote #brushlettering #handlettering #handwritten https://www.instagram.com/p/B0wKxvugEpY/?igshid=hvify3tg0idf

Latest #kindleread : Astrophysics for People in a Hurry, by Neil deGrasse Tyson. 💫✨ . I’m taking my time with this though, while I keep going through physical copies of other books. Luckily it’s very put-down-and-pick-up-later friendly. . . . . . #forloveofletters #currentread #currentlyreading #kindle #kindlelove #kindlereads #kindlebook #booklove #bookworm #bookish #booktoday #booklover #bibliophile #bookoftheday #instabook #bookstagram #bookstagramfeatures #igreads #vscobooks #bookpost https://www.instagram.com/p/B0MoLp6gTPY/?igshid=19jpy4cfgx65f

“& who knows what comes next?” Saga, Book 2, by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples . Saga continues to amaze me. It’s so fantastical and at the same time so human. Can’t wait to follow this family’s story, in all its twists and turns. I’ve got to get my hands on Book 3! . . . . . #forloveofletters #bookworm #booklover #bookstagram #bookish #booktoday #booklove #bibliophile #instabook #bookquote #bookoftheday #bookphoto #vscobooks #bookstagramfeatures #igreads #bookcover #comicbook #quote #quoteoftheday #handwritten #brushlettering #beushletteringpractice #Saga #Sagacomic https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzo1MsggXmL/?igshid=1qfg73fmy5acx

#tb to reading more about the artwork for my copy of “Broom of the System”, by David Foster Wallace, part of the Penguin Orange Collection, by Eric Nyquist, in @penguinclassics “Classic Penguin, Cover to Cover”. I’ve yet to read it cover to cover (see what I shamelessly did there?), but took a peek ahead anyways. I was curious about the artist’s approach to giving a twist to such emblematic covers as the Penguin Classics’. . Do you have any copy of these? I’m still thinking about getting one of Kerouac’s “On the Road”, even though it wouldn’t be my first or only copy of it. 🤭🤫 . . . . . #forloveofletters #booklove #booklover #bibliophile #bookstagram #bookworm #bookstagramfeatures #bookstagramfeature #igreads #bookcover #bookish #booktoday #instabook #bookoftheday #bookart #bookartwork #PenguinClassics #PenguinOrangeCollection #ClassicPenguin #bookcovers #bookloving https://www.instagram.com/p/By5_RlcA8sp/?igshid=1aewmp5upeox7

“It was a case whose wheels spun endlessly in possibility.” - I’ll Be Gone In the Dark, Michelle McNamara . Finished this earlier this year, after taking my time with it. The Golden State Killer’s case is one I had read plenty about before this book, so I figured there would be little to surprise me and it would just be going a bit deeper into the specifics. . I was very wrong. Sure, there are more details about everything - the crimes, the investigation, the timeline of both -, and the information is all gathered up so there’s no too-many-open-tabs mess. But what takes this book to the next level is the details it chooses to focus on: the GSK’s preying method and his commitment to it (feels weird using that word, but I guess that’s what it is); the way he established control over his victims in non-violent ways too; the profiling process by investigators (so close, in retrospect). . It’s also a very human read. Beyond dates, locations and names, there’s a context: the people living in these times and places, victims in their own way to a faceless threat; the investigators for whom this was not just another case in another day at the office; and McNamara herself, who shares bits and pieces of her own story throughout the book. At first this took me out of the book’s mood, but afterwards I came to appreciate it. It’s nice to feel like I know more about a woman so passionate and dedicated, and to whom those of us eager for the name behind the name she coined owe so much now. . . . . . #forloveofletters #bibliophile #booklover #bookstagram #booklove #bookish #booktoday #instabook #booksofinstagram #bookstagramfeatures #bookstagramfeature #bookquote #bookoftheday #quoteoftheday #quote #handwritten #brushletteringpractice #IllBeGoneInTheDark https://www.instagram.com/p/ByTT5KgA2R3/?igshid=4d55lft9z825

Careful, you’re about to step into the ⚠️ DANGER ZONE ⚠️ #currentlyreading The Art of Archer, written and designed by Neil Holman, with Eric Simms and Matt Thompson. . Who else is a fan of @archerfxx ? I’ve loved the series since season 1 and am currently rewatching all of it. Since the 10th season, “Archer 1999”, is premiering, this felt like the perfect time to pick up this book, which had been sitting on my tbr pile for far too long. . It’s a peak inside everything behind the making of Archer, from getting the right voices for each character to its production and animation process, up until season 6. It’s a fun read about an even funnier show, with totally ‘inappropes’ humor and phrases that will stick to your brain no matter what. Some of my personal faves: “Phrasing”, “You’re not my supervisor!”, “Do you want ants? Cuz that’s how you get ants!”, and the occasional “Nooope!” . . . . . #forloveofletters #currentlyreading #currentread #bookworm #booklover #bibliophile #bookstagram #booklove #instabook #bookoftheday #bookish #vscobooks #bookstagramfeatures #booksandcoffee #coffeeandbooks #booktoday #Archer #ArcherFX #DangerZone https://www.instagram.com/p/ByDVXg0ASqP/?igshid=1dn0mfoo731np

Don’t know how or why, but I’ve kept powering through “All the Names They Used for God” faster than I thought. Still not 100% into it, but at least over 90% through with it. Maybe I can finish it over the weekend. Wish me luck! ✨ . . . . . #forloveofletters #tb #latepost #currentread #bookstagram #bookphotography #bibliophile #booklovers #booklove #instabook #booktoday #bookish #kindlelove #kindle #kindleread #kindlereading #bookoftheday #picoftheday #reading #amreading #bookworm #bookaholic #vscoboks https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxk-hhyhFRM/?igshid=epqoxsourqk4

“It’s by writing that you become a writesmith.” Exercises in Style, by Raymond Queneau . These exercises in style are a lesson in writing. I’d highly recommend this book for anyone whose work, project and/or passion has anything to do with words, and it’s definitely one worth revisiting. It was fun, insightful and even challenging at times, and proved that even when you already know what’s going to happen, getting there can be as interesting the 99th time as it was the first. . . . . . #forloveofletters #booklove #booklover #bibliophile #bookworm #bookstagram #bookquotes #bookstagramfeatures #igreads #instabook #bookish #bookoftheday #quoteoftheday #kindle #kindlelove #kindlelover #kindlereads #kindlebooks #quoteoftheday #calligraphy #handwritten #bookphotography https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxx0fUHAIdY/?igshid=sejkwv9pjwrl
