New Jane Eyre edition for my collection

[iathrim]

Galadriel his sister went not with him to Nargothrond, for in Doriath dwelt Celeborn, kinsman of Thingol, and there was great love between them. In Doriath she met Celeborn, grandson of Elmo the brother of Thingol. For love of Celeborn, who would not leave Middle-earth [...] she did not go West at the Downfall of Melkor, but crossed Ered Lindon with Celeborn and came into Eriador.

I feel reassured that the world is full of books that people are steadily reading their way through - Riku Onda, The Aosawa Murders

[megsbooklr]

Okay, so, once again I'm starting my journey to stop buying books with the mindset oh yeah, that's something I wanna read someday and actually read all these bangers that I already own!

But it won't happen overnight, so let's take some baby steps.

General rules:

I'll still be buying danmei series, because they bring me joy and they cost less when you preorder them.

As for other books, I won't be buying any new series for now. Standalones are okay, as long as I'll actually put them at the top of my tbr heap and do read them.

July 2026

For now let's try "book-buying-ban-July" - I already have 7 preorders to be delivered in July... so that's enough already :D and to balance that I plan to read 7 books in July.

Wish me luck :)

If we speak of fiction, in the beginning of Poe’s ‘The Murders in the Rue Morgue,’ Dupin correctly guesses his friend’s inner thoughts from a single movement of his body, does he not? Doyle mimics that in ‘The Adventure of the Resident Patient’ where, although Holmes makes his usual deductions, they are all associative diagnoses in some way. The various mechanical methods of the psychologist are nothing more than tools created for the use of ordinary people who lack this natural insight.

Edogawa Ranpo, “The Case of the Murder on D. Hill” from The Early Cases of Akechi Kogorō

Actions change our course, influence our futures, but intentions define us, empower us. Without intent, we are nothing.

Emi Kimura, Red Winter trilogy

“… You did what none of us could do.” “Only because the poison didn’t affect me the same way—” “Does that matter? We couldn’t do it. You did. We saw what you looked like when you got out. How many times did you fall in order to batter your knees like that? But you kept going.” “That makes me stubborn, not strong,” she mumbled. “Strength comes in many forms…”

red winter by annette marie

«you’ll forget me someday, little miko.» his voice was even hoarser than hers, rough and coated in a hint of an animal growl.

«i’ll never forget you,» she told him. «i’ll remember you to my last day.»

«do you promise?»

her heart gave an odd little flutter. «yes, i promise.»
