Rereading my old, annotated copy of Tsh, and the amount of times I wrote ‘Lmao Richard <3’…
#Lmao Richard <3#Finished the great Gatsby for like the 100th time and I didn’t know what to read but I’m going to the bookstore today.#annotating books#i could make a compilation#I scribbled it so many times I’m dying#richard papen#the secret history#tsh#donna tartt#books and literature

You’ve heard of: this fanfiction is written better than I could ever even attempt to write.
Now get ready for: this fanfiction is above my reading level.
#I am crying about how overwhelming it is to read good literature#holy fucking shit#sometimes people need to write books#because I need to read them six times#and annotate them#and desperately search for meanings that were always there#but may not have been intended#sorry I’m feeling a lot of emotions right now

INSANE scene from trb genuinely
#he wants to find glendower like arthur wants to find the holy grail….. they’d all follow him anywhere….. excelsior onwards and upwards#except they’re looking for an underground tomb which they eventually find in a cave after multiple cavernous expeditions….#trc lb#.txt#trc#gansey#arthuriana#the grail#wherever you stray i follow#he would sail to troy and i would follow even into death#oh yeah btw i’m rereading trc cover to cover i just decided a few days ago <3#this time i’m highlighting + annotating my physical copies too it’s so much fun omg <3#highlighted this scene and then opened my epub to post this and found out that these were already highlighted bro it was so insane…#the green one here was actually purple in the old annotation which i changed to green just for the screenshot#omg those annotations are from may 2021 apparently so real#liveblogging

Man… I’m just thinking about the time I was reading John Milton’s Paradise Lost out loud while my best friend (with benefits) was going down on me and kept on reading while he railed me and I only stopped reading when it became too much for me that I couldn’t read anymore from the tears clouding my vision, and the way he just kept on hitting the spot that I simply could not speak and boy….
And like it went on for a good while like I was halfway through book 1 when I finally climaxed and it’s 22 pages approximately and I was gone after like 10 or so. It really was something and I wanna do it again tbh. What if I end up finishing paradise lost and paradise regained like this lmao. I mean half of it was because I’m into that and half the reason was that he likes hearing my voice so I was like “yk what would be neat for the both of us” and did THAT LOL
#reading PL the way Milton intended it to 💀💀#yeah while being gay and having sex out of wedlock. that’s the way it was intended to be read#look I appreciate literature and just something about reading a religious text while committing an act like this…. is just chefs kiss#not the first time I’m reading PL either like it has annotations and shit but like yeah it’s so idk something so idk poetic??#I dunno. but yeah. I really get a kick out of it tbh#pov you’re a literature nerd with complicated kinks#.txt

Anyways I’m now emotional thinking about how Bryce celebrates Casey’s birthday and how each year, as he grows in love with her, his gifts get more and more thoughtful even though it’s the bottom on the list of love languages for him
#bryce lahela#casey valentine#open heart#open heart choices#k speaks#like during their intern year he probably doesn’t wanna make too big a deal of it bc they’re in a weird limbo relationship#so he like. gets her favorite drink and buys a cookie from her favorite bakery and sends her gifsets of her favorite movie#(which is pride & prejudice)#((tell me i’m wrong bc you can’t))#and then their second year it’s after The Attack so he figures he can get her a thoughtful gift#and he hunts high and low for it and genuinely considers asking sienna’s help#but THEN#he finds an old copy of pride & prejudice in a used bookstore#nothing special but he sits and reads it himself and annotates it and makes little boxes around her favorite lines#(it is literally her favorite gift of all time)#(also it’s one of the reasons keiki’s like ‘oh you are WHIPPED’)#and then third year he decides to do a diy project but something small enough that she could take it with her if she moved#(it’s bookshelves he makes her a bookshelf)#he’s just. so in love UGH i love them

i am so deeply invested in the taylor jenkins reid literary universe because i smile every time a character from one book is mentioned in another
#reading malibu rising. probably the book ive been most excited to read in a WHILE#because i feel like i havent been INVESTED in a book in awhile#well i read far from the tree by robin benway a few weeks ago and was pretty invested in that#but ya idk i just needed something i knew would make me excited to read#something with a STORY u know#i feel like i haven’t updated yall on my reading in forever#after it i read far from the tree and loved it (Cried sooo much too)#then i read the jungle by upton sinclar and was surprised by how much i liked it and how diff it was from what i expected#oh during all this time i was listening to educated by tara westover which was just spectacular and i loved it#truly have such high praise for it like i wanna find a physical copy so i can annotate it and just be able to display it on my shelf#which the other other audiobook ive ever wanted to do the same for was know my name (one of my top books of 2021) so.. that says it all!#then i read nine perfect strangers by liane moriarty which was just fine#my least fav from the 3 ive read tho the only one to make me cry?? the end was sweet idk#idk it was slow to start and i found most of the characters annoying but not annoying enough to dislike fjjejxwkd#actually i also did laugh out loud a couple times too but STILL idk it just wasnt giving what i needed it to give#i need to stop chasing the rush from big little lies she gave me#ok and now on audio i’m reading#the five: the untold lives of the women killed by jack the ripper by hallie rubenhold#liking it so far tho sometimes i find it hard to pay attention#and ive just recently started both notes on a native son by james baldwin and malibu rising by tjr#like less than 30 pages into both 😭#my reading this summer has been very blah but im hoping to turn that around soon#mine#reading

it is going to take me fifty years to finish annotating the starless sea 😭 it has almost been an hour and i’m still on the first page
#to be fair i am double annotating which always takes 8 x longer#anddddddd i spent a good chunk of time thinking about what i wanted to tab#but still </3#if alone with you in the ether took me two months i’m worried about how long this one will take#post: personal

okay im assuming you're reading the 22k review of lightlark and i gotta say the review was so well-written that i almost went to go hunt down the book myself. just because i wanted to see if it really contained all *that*
I DID TOO. the urge is so strong but is very narrowly outweighed by not wanting to spend money on it hdbsksnc
#i love reading terrible books and there was a period of time where i would take horrible books and just. annotate the shit out of them#it was fun#like ‘use of passive voice where active voice would make the flow better’ and ‘weak description’#and i am SO tempted#also. in-depth reviews that actually analyze parts of the book and are more than just dragging it#the latter is fun don’t get me wrong but i LOVE the dissection part#i’m also looking at one of the reviewer’s books rn and it seems like something right up my alley so :D#riko.txt#asks#not hq

i love whenever my friends know me super well in terms of gifts because !!!!! omg, you understand me? you know that i’d like that???? 🥺
#i feel like. sometimes i’m difficult to get gifts for? or not that it’s difficult but not even my parents know what i’d want#so it surprises me whenever a friend knows#anyway this is because my friend got me a special edition of my fav book of all time + she was going to highlight and annotate her fav part#*parts of the book#then she was like ‘i don’t know if you’ll like it because it’s jst my thought ;;’ GIVE ME YOUR THOUGHTS!!!! i want to read it through your#eyes!!!! idk i find it vv sweet#memorie.txt

okay I’m officially not gonna reblog that post again for another while at least I feel like it’s too long to keep putting on people’s dashboards I feel bad
#worth it for the annotations + art though. seriously i’m gonna be riding this joy until the end of the year at LEAST#but i do like the continuity for the icons. still red and yellow!#just this time there’s agony and blood and the moon out to get people. :)#just having a really good time with the cognitive dissonance with masato’s terrible horrible no good very bad night#and hirakagi being like. soooo in love that it’s crazy. i love it so so so so so so so much can you tell#alright. anyway gonna shower in cold water because there’s no water heater. and then i’ll probably scream into my pillow as i put. my brain#back into that DAMN. CHAAARTTTTTTT

Me, with very little room left on my bookshelf for more books: *adding 5 books to my target cart*, *ordering a 3 book series from amazon*, *also planning to order another book in like a week as soon as preorders start*
#also I have literally 2 full shelves of books I own that I’m planning to read#so if you see me not posting any new fics for a bit it’s bc I’m busy reading#all the next like 10 books I want to read are chunky hardcovers#I have a little over a month before I’m going on vacation and I only like to travel with paperbacks#so hopefully over the next month I’ll be able to finish about 10 books#I also started annotating my books bc I saw it on tiktok and I thought it looked nice#so far I’ve only done it with the series I’m currently on and I do like it#like I’ve read this series before but it’s been a long time and there’s this part of a book that I once read that I’ve been thinking about#so I’m trying to find it#and I’m pretty sure it’s in this series but anyway#I enjoy annotating these books
