I will say that I finished this a while ago, and started reading both IT by Stephen King and Looking for Alaska by John Green recently! So any updates will probably be on them two books 😂

Am I rereading this because I loved the book so much the first time around? Yes I am. Will I probably notice stuff that I didn’t notice the first time around? Maybe 😭

i am once again fighting the urge to fake my own death, move to a small city, and open a little bakery/bookshop where people can escape from the harsh reality.

reading classic lit for fun: immersed in the book. enjoying myself. transported to another world where i am in fact a greek nymph

reading classic lit for an assignment: i read a page. a minute has passed. i read another page. an hour has passed. i spend the day trying to read one chapter and only once i’ve finished do i realize i understood none of it. 0/10

"It’s always fire with Baz. I can’t believe he hasn’t incinerated me yet. Or burned me at the stake."

Tyrannus Basilton Grimm-Pitch

“You were the sun, and I was crashing into you. I’d wake up every morning and think, ‘This will end in flames.”

Penelope Bunce

Penelope Bunce is a fierce magician, I’ve never minded saying it. She’s just escaped from handcuffs and a flaming car. She’s casting spells without her wand in a dead spot. Harry Houdini himself couldn’t top it.

Carry on, Simon.

@booksociety’s To The Stars event: The Little Prince

“Where are the men?” the little prince took up the conversation again. “It is a little lonely in the desert……”

“It is also lonely among men,” the snake said.

Well, I don’t remember exactly what I called her, but it was something along the lines of ‘sniveling, repulsive, idiotic, backneridden, snaggletoothed, fat-assed bitch with the worst hair in Central Florida — and that’s saying something.’”
