This is by far my favourite thing I've seen for this community. I feel so much pressure to read certain books that I haven't got the money to buy and I feel wrong talking about the ones I am reading. This community is great, and I know we all want to be pretentious and snobby, but let's use that for aesthetic purposes and not to put others down.

(Btw ironically enough I found this text post on Instagram, not Tumblr and now I'm reposting it to Tumblr because idk how to find the original)

Always throw salt over your left shoulder.

Keep rosemary by your garden gate.

Add pepper to your mashed potatoes.

Plant roses and lavender for luck.

And fall in love... whenever you can.
