BOOKS READ IN 2026

Pet Sematary by Stephen King

Keep me in mind, Dr. Creed. I was alive and then I was dead and now I’m alive again. I’ve made the circuit and I’m here to tell you that you come out the other side with your purr-box broken and a taste for the hunt, I’m here to tell you that a man grows what he can and tends it. Don’t forget that, Dr. Creed, I’m part of what your heart will grow now, there’s your wife and your daughter and your son . . . and there’s me. Remember the secret and tend your garden well.

read in 2025: the song of achilles by madeline miller

We were like gods at the dawning of the world, and our joy was so bright we could see nothing else but the other.

ten years ago, I had so many followers. I'm hoping some of you are still with me, whilst I'm slowly returning to myself. i’m publishing a poetry collection, called half of these are about you. it’s about my twenties — your twenties. about losses that echo, seasons of identity, heartbreak, addiction, reflection, healing.

if you’d like to support me — whether silently, with words, or by following me on any of these platforms — it would mean the world.

love always, kortu.

this is where some of me began. in lines, annotated. aching for words like these to undo me, so I can rebuild the pieces I forgot I ever lost.

[kinqlaurent]

some of you have said you've missed me. I've missed me, too.

[kinqlaurent]

I'm so happy to see you on my dashboard again! You know, you don't need to edit or anything, just reblog or say something, your tumblr is so beautiful. I miss your posts (edits, words) but mostly I miss having you here. Do you have any other blogs?

you have no idea, how happy this makes me, honestly.

i recently re-read captive prince, and i died the most perfect death, then revisited most of the bookish posts that have been shared here. what a time it was. that alone just fills my heart with wonder.

i'm aiming to start being more active on this site, as yes, i do have another blog that i've just started. (kortuvalentinepoetry - shhh, officially sharing it next week. would love to have you there, too.) <3

[kinqlaurent]

Please, come back. I miss you. :(

I don't know when you sent this in, but I will come back! I'm brewing something delicious xx
