there is truly nothing better than bringing home a pile of books home with you, and not knowing if you’ll read em all, skim some maybe, return them just to take them out again. my current check outs are down the drain by Julia Fox, Crash by J.G Ballard, and how to murder your life by Cat Marnell

Trying to re-enter my literate era and exit my iPad baby era because ebooks are not cutting it… I finally explored the library in my new neighborhood and it was glorious. I forgot how exciting it is to leave the library with a veritable HAUL! when I was a kid I would check out like 30 books at a time, fiction and nonfiction, just whatever piqued my interest as I walked through the shelves. Returning them was always an ordeal where I would have to go through the receipt item by item to make sure I didn’t miss anything. I exercised self control this time so it wasn’t that extreme but I can tend to want to flit from book to book so getting a mix of titles felt right.
I’m most excited about Joyce Carol Oates’ newest novel Butcher and will probably start with that because her writing is addictive and I love her deranged fanfiction accounts of real life historical subjects that end up feeling more real than the actual facts (lol I’ll drop the synopsis in the comments because it’s kind of long)

📚Literally check out as many books as you can and give them at least a decent shot of a few chapters. It’s like listening to the radio but for books.

🤠i usually find myself in reading ruts when i’m taking classes and being assigned books or when i’m trying to keep up with new releases and the “smart” books that are usually dense and long. i can usually get myself out of this rut by picking out a book that looks fun to me, like a book set on a beach or something I loved in middle school. I’m reading From The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler right now and it’s just FUN!!! I also am very much not someone who feels like they have to finish a book. Life is too short. I think that helps!

✌️because life is more than what you do to pay bills, and no one deserves to feel unsafe and underpaid in a work place (yes i am terrified but it’s okay)

❤️i don’t want to have a “thick skin” about everything, maybe we should all just be nicer to each other. when did we come up with the concept that being sensitive is bad? i’m sensitive and i like it. the world doesn’t have to hit me and i just get back up, maybe i will cry a little bit.
