I’m not sure how invested I’ll get in using this but I will say hello.

My name is Louisa Atwood. I’m an honors student, member of the debate team, I volunteer at the library. My family owns a second hand bookstore in town and that’s about all you need to know.

The username was my younger sister Emily’s idea I couldn’t come up with anything.

While I sort of get the impulse, it does always get my back up when people talk about something like Animorphs with this attitude of 'omgggg remember these books, how on EARTH were we allowed to read these books, they're so grim and dark and violent and tragic, no adults could possibly have known what they actually contained or they'd have been banned.'

And like. Allowing for the fact that there absolutely are adults who think every distressing topic ever should be banned from children's literature - they're children's books. You were allowed to read them when you were a kid because they were written for kids. Bridge to Terabithia is also a children's book. So is Where the Red Fern Grows and Old Yeller and Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry and The Giver and loads of other books that deal with heavy, difficult topics. It is appropriate and good for children to have books about these things that are tailored to their reading levels and it genuinely really bugs me when people act like they're somehow not really for kids because bad things happen in them or they end tragically.

Heartbreaking: girl has to get out of bed

[the-real-kafka]

Of course she does! Doesn't she worry about being late to work?!

The only thing able to worsen her situation would be being a Gigant bug!

Franz you'll never fucking believe what just happened to me

When the post is funny but you disagree with the underlying philosophical premises in it

you're entitled to your opinion but it's stupid and bad and ill-informed and i hate you

[lou-minesecent]

I would appreciate if people stopped making out in the corners of the library. I know you’re there. I will tell the librarian.

you know a joke that never EVER gets old is when a character says smth like “I will NOT go to [place] and that is FINAL” and then it cuts to them in that place I eat that shit up every single time

[robylovi]

I love it especially when it cuts to them like this:

[miss-canadian-pie]

oh god. I'm out with him right now and I can't stop looking at his perfect face. Why does he have to be so pretty at sunset. It isn't fair. I hope he dies.

[miss-canadian-pie]

nvm he threw up in my car

[lou-minesecent]

Not really ‘perfect’ then. Even beyond him being obnoxious.

That’s disgusting though. I’m sorry for that.

the thing they dont tell you about learning to "trust the process" is that you forget and relearn it every single time you make a new piece of art. unfortunately there is no cure either

bingewatching will never come close to bingereading. there is nothing like blocking out the entire Earth for ten hours to read a book in one sitting no food no water no shower no bra and emerging at the end with no idea what time it is or where you are, a dried-up prune that's sensitive to light and loud noises because you've been in your room in the dark reading by the glow of a single LED. it's like coming back after a three-month vacation in another dimension and now you have to go downstairs and make dinner. absolutely transcendental

I’m not much of a Friend person. I will try not to be hostile if it does anything to lessen me being blunt.

I see you need tutoring? I’m a tutor more for English but I have plenty of experience helping with math.

What book series are you currently reading ??????

Right now? We Have Always Lived In The Castle by Shirley Jackson. I’ve read it before but she’s one of my favorite authors and couldn’t get my hands on the next book on my list yet.
