im so glad to be done with school, my time spent reading has skyrocketed in the past week alone despite starting my new job already !!

i did not think about the page count of the books i picked up last weekend, and i’m now really not in the mood to read ~500 pages 🥲

first library trip of the summer! books pictured: The Phoenix Keeper by S.A. MacLean and The Spear Cuts Through Water by Simon Jimenez

book haul for the week 💙📚

we’re starting off small for the summer - just started The Phoenix Keeper :)

GUESS WHO IS NOW A COLLEGE GRAD

ME 🕺

i was telling my sister about my goodreads account and i mentioned that it’s how i best keep track of my 200+ book TBR

so….. i did not realize that a normal person does not have a TBR that big 😭

my bookstagram has started gaining followers out of the blue and i don’t know how?? maybe i’ve been able to post a little more since classes finished? but i don’t have a consistent schedule by any means and my content has absolutely no aesthetic

i dont get it, where are they coming from 🧍‍♀️

ABSOLUTELY 👏🏻 YES 👏🏻

my final paper is due in about 13 hours. my goal is to get it done in the next 7.

wish me luck, i haven't even started working for today but i can feel myself crashing out already 🫡

im literally half a page away from being done with this paper (and thus also my entire undergrad), but i just cant do it 🕺

born to take care of my beloved animal crossing villagers, forced to finish my goddamn final paper 😭

i’m about 20% through a sci-fi/fantasy ARC that i was kinda wary about cus it has an enemies to lovers trope but like…. shit, i can already tell it’s gonna hit different and we’re barely getting past the enemies stage rn 👀

SFF Mommies to Celebrate Mothers Day

Amina, Tunuva & Esbar, Essun, and Sidra. These amazing moms just so happen to be some of my favorite characters, period. The fact that they are moms and many are between the age of 30-50 is a PLUS. These moms would do whatever it takes for their babies! #booksky

p. djeli clark liked my review of the dead cat tail assassins on instagram and i just about nearly exploded omg

A Chicago Pope implies the existence of an MLA Pope and APA Pope

if you want opinions on any of these that you haven't read, i've got lots to say on all of them 👀

omg that's wild 😅 the responses i got on insta were all below 60

im not remotely catholic and have never been but im sitting here watching the livestream of the pope reveal with bated breath LMAO

i still have 3 or 4 assignments to finish, but i just got out of my last class of undergrad and uh...

y'all wtf am i supposed to do now 🧍‍♀️

The Raven Scholar by Antonia Hodgson HIT SO HARD and is going to be a strong contender for book of the year for me. It had EVERYTHING and mark my words, this book is going to take the fantasy book spaces by STORM. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you @orbitbooks.bsky.social for the gifted arc copy! #booksky

it’s almost May and its been almost 80° the past week, yet ive managed to catch a cold 😐

indie bookstore day is tomorrow!
📚💙
this is your not-so-friendly reminder to SUPPORT INDIE BOOKSTORES!!

this your not-so-gentle nudge to BOYCOTT AMAZON!

amazon has been trying to push against indie bookstore day by hosting a “sale” on books this week. push BACK.

i full trust your opinion of all people, omw to go rejoin rn 🏃‍♀️

that’s exactly what i was thinking! i wanna get away from meta but i don’t want to lose some of the fandom community aspects of social media

is it worth it to rejoin tumblr in the year of our lord 2025

i had a kickass superwholock blog back in 2016/2017 and i’m kinda missing the vibes 😭

just opened a god pack on pokemon tcgp dhmu 😭

i get that, the characters were the toughest part to like 😭

imo the second half makes it easier to like some characters, it explains more of their motives

Paperback copy of Anxious People by Fredrick Backman

4.5🌟

Finally got around to finishing this one! Somehow, Backman makes this book very quirky and emotionally heavy at the exact same time. I constantly thought I had the plot figured out, but every chapter revealed a new layer. The chapters were also very short, which made this hard to put down. 📚💙

i hurt my back getting out of bed this morning, and i think i now understand what it means to be a true adult
