Hunger Games new French edition ✨

I'm not usually one for white books but damn, these are super pretty. Way better than the English edition or even the old french version

unsung benefit i think a lot of ppl are sleeping on with using the public library is that i think its a great replacement for the dopamine hit some ppl get from online shopping. it kind of fills that niche of reserving something that you then get to anticipate the arrival of and enjoy when it arrives, but without like, the waste and the money.

London book haul ✨

I had a list of books I wanted to buy and only 3 of those were on it, haha. It was Before the Coffee Gets Cold, The Jasmine Throne and I Wish You All the Best. I had spotted quite a few other books that sounded really good, but Where the Dark Stands Still, The Briar Book of the Dead and How to Solve Your Own Murder just stood out above the others

I've read I Wish You All the Best in the past (several times actually) and have a post about it, but I really wanted to own a physical copy because I love it so much. And I've also read The Briar Book of the Dead since I came back and loved it! I'm currently on How to Solve Your Own Murder, which is pretty intriguing so far

My reblogs are fucking up and sending stuff to this blog instead of my main one so, uh, enjoy I guess

I got the chance to road trip out to the path of totality! My phone camera didn’t do it justice, so I painted what I saw instead 🌞🌚

Here’s the photo I took and the sketch I made with my finger in the notes app while watching it happen 😆

I have 44 books I haven't read on my shelves, I really need to calm down and read them. No more buying novels for a WHILE, I need to get this TBR under control

Once again reorganizing my bookshelves, getting rid of books I'll never read, books I'll never finish and the ones I just didn't like. Also making it so it's easier for me to see my TBR because every time I pull out a book, I see the one behind and I'm suddenly reminded of its existence like "ah shit, I forgot that was here"

I'm also putting my Asian fantasy books together because they're pretty and I like them all in one place

I don't know if you can boop this blog since it's a side blog, but if so, go forth and boop away, friends and strangers

Currently reading

The Briar Book of the Dead, by A. G. Slatter

I have come out of my reading slump and all it took was a trip to London and 6 new books! (aka, having a break from work and treating myself)

Check below for a surprise

Visited this lovely bookstore (it had 3 floors!) with a friend today 🌻

I had a free period after calculus, so it was nice to catch up and spend time browsing.

Tomorrow I’ll have the AD project discussion and on Friday I have a calculus mini-test, hope they go well 🤞🏻

If this fucking website was a person, I'd punch it in the face

I don't know if it's the pictures or just tumblr but this post is broken. It's in my drafts and editing it does nothing. I'll try making another post this weekend with different pictures but I have very low hopes

I tried posting something but tumblr appears to be working against me so I guess I'll get lost. It just put all my pics in random order and deleted the cut. I tried editing it several times, I deleted the original post and tried making a new one: same problem. I'll try again tomorrow, I guess 🫠
