Origins of Dracula at Whitby.

Witch-Wife by Edna St. Vincent Millay

She is neither pink nor pale, And she never will be all mine; She learned her hands in a fairy-tale, And her mouth on a valentine. She has more hair than she needs; In the sun ‘tis a woe to me! And her voice is a string of coloured beads, Or steps leading into the sea. She loves me all that she can,  And her ways to my ways resign;  But she was not made for any man,  And she never will be all mine.

Favorite thing about libraries?

oh god everything. architecturally the old buildings obv because they're so beautiful and welcoming and cosy and it brings such a sense of awe when you enter and see all the towering bookshelves and huge comfy armchairs, makes the acts of choosing and reading the books there that much more special somehow. but in general, libraries are literally one of the greatest things on the planet. it's completely free education and knowledge for one, which could be a whole other rant tbh lmao. it's free to join (where i live anyway idk about anywhere else in the world), free to check books (incl audiobooks) out and free to use the computers and internet, you only need to pay if you're ordering a book into the library that they don't already have there, printing something off, or have a late fee. they were a lifesaver for me when i was at school and didnt have a computer to do my homework on and i know a lot of other poor kids in my town use our library for the same reason too. there's always something on too, my sister takes her daughter to baby rhyme group where they learn nursery rhymes and actions/dances, get to use little instruments (maracas, bells, xylophone etc!), they've been going since before evie was even 1, she'll be 2 by the end of the month :'] there's always quite a few people there too and it's so funny seeing the toddlers interacting with each other! there used to be a poetry/writing group on in my library too til the teacher got too ill to continue, would love to find another one (although maybe with less old ppl lol they were supportive but didn't 'get' my writing because it didnt rhyme 😭). there's a jigsaw and coffee group where the libraries will swap out huge complicated jigsaws with the other libraries in the county so when one's complete the group get a totally different one! and free coffee!! there's help available for anyone struggling with computer/internet literacy so when filling out job or benefits applications, the librarians will help, people who don't speak much english can get help there too (citizen's advice also exists but you need an appointment and if you're already struggling w the language that's just an extra barrier, the librarians help because they want to)/ there's such a sense of community in libraries that fights on despite all the funding cuts and the government's attempts to shut them down esp in poor areas (we fought tooth and nail to keep my library open when they tried to shut it in 2014 and again in 2016). obv not every area has a library service as amazing as ours but i'm so so grateful they exist at all <3

I think anon is always more comfortable, plus you can be lazy and not bother to sign in. I can't speak for other anons but I myself did drop an assortment of content, hope maybe some was decently engaging. I think you're smart and have your own unique perspective!

fair dos haha and yeah they were nice thank u :] i do think its just you who's asking me stuff though, no-one else is arsed (or theyve followed me on twitter for a decade and already know every tiny detail of my life 💀)

LOL i wish but thankyou!

What's a legit GOOD book?

depends on what your personal tastes are so if you want an actual recommendation that you're more likely to enjoy then i'd need to know what books/films you already like, what genres or ~vibes you're looking for etc. but if you're asking me what *my* favourite books are:

Peter Pan by JM Barrie

Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll

White is for Witching by Helen Oyeyemi

The Sorrows of Young Werther by Goethe (transl by Bayard Quincy Morgan)

*** Others I really enjoyed:

the Rabbit Hutch by Tess Gunty

October October by Katya Balen

the Warlow Experiment by Alix Nathan

the Hoarder by Jess Kidd

the Last Days of Leda Grey by Essie Fox

the House in the Dark of the Woods by Laird Hunt

the Familiars by Stacey Halls

Evelyn Hugo by TJR

Piranesi by Susanna Clarke

the Black Spider by Gotthelf (transl by H.M Waidson)

and anything by Kirsty Logan, Max Porter, Julia Armfield (and everything else by Helen Oyeyemi lollll, i recommend starting with the icarus girl so you get a feel for her writing bc white is for witching is a lot more stylistic)
