Reading Is Life

“You can't get a cup of tea big enough or a book long enough to suit me.” C. S. Lewis Decided to make a book blog since reading has taken over my life. Traveller of the world, accumulator of books, collector of swords and hoarder of all things historical. Book recommendations always welcome! If you ever want to talk about books I’m here! I love all different types of genres but history is my passion.

We are here. This is what it means to swim in the tide, to walk the earth and feel it touch your feet. This is what it means to be alive.

people really act like dog earing a page in a book you paid for with your own money is an act of terrorism. if y’all don’t learn to be normal i will rip each page out after i read it and eat it.

growing up reading fantasy books was such a bust cause your whole life you’re left wanting more from life and like there’s something missing and you’re just waiting for that missing part to begin but it’s never gonna come

My aesthetic: Books. Books at the bookstore. Books on bookshelves. Books coordinated by color. Books coordinated by series. Books with fantastic covers. Books that are small. Books that are huge. Books. BOOKS.
