Bookish merch needs to be more diverse. Why does everyone make the same book about the same 3 books and marshmallow colored characters?

We really do need to talk about why blame young black people for not knowing Black culture, when it is the responsibility of the parents to pass down tradition. My mom is Dominican and my dad is Black American. They worked my brother was born during the 2008 recession and my parents split soon after, they didn't have the time to teach me the ins and outs of their cultures, so I had to seek that myself (Although I do believe my mom could have taken the time to speak Spanish to me, I do feel there some other underlying issue there). It's okay to not know everything about your culture. A refusal to learn is one thing, but simply not being taught is okay.

What are some books for people trying to get into fantasy. I’m rewatching the dragon prince and I want fantasy books like that.

imagine you're frolicking in a field, prancing through long grass, singing "falalalala~", occasionally picking a flower. etc, etc. but a guy in the same field is watching you, about 20 paces away. he lowers his opera glasses (which he was using to watch you) and starts clutching his head and screaming with blind rage because of how much you're pissing him off. that's what it's like to be on the internet.

Isabel Cañas is one of my new favorite authors.

I love my books. I love everything about them.

- By the Book, Jasmine Guillory

I think posting my book annotations on here instead of writing them in the book for while; starting with Reminders of Him.

I’m rewatching Scandal

And I really hate how Fitz tried to paint Mellie as this horrible person after her affair with Andrew. He told her to her face that he was divorcing her and marrying his mistress, but somehow she is the bad guy because she had sex with Andrew once.

[saraishortcake]

I need a book with a plot similar to scandal.

[saraishortcake]

Mellie Grant is the best character from Scandal and every one can fight me on that opinion.
