The death of something living is the price of our own survival, and we pay it again and again. We have no choice. It is the one solemn promise every life on earth is born and bound to keep.

As a missionary kid reading The Poisonwood Bible for the first time I would like to humbly say I need Nathen Price to die immediately

My little beast, my eyes, my favorite stolen egg. Listen. To live is to be marked. To live is to change, to acquire the words of a story, and that is the only celebration we mortals really know. In perfect stillness, frankly, I’ve only found sorrow.

The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver

The Poisonwood Bible is a story told by the wife and four daughters of Nathan Price, a fierce, evangelical Baptist who takes his family and mission to the Belgian Congo in 1959. They carry with them everything they believe they will need from home, but soon find that all of it -- from garden seeds to Scripture -- is calamitously transformed on African soil. What follows is a suspenseful epic of one family's tragic undoing and remarkable reconstruction over the course of three decades in postcolonial Africa.

tagged by @grieving4theliving 9 favorite books! I suck at remembering books I loved in the past so these are just the books I’m used to telling people are my favorite books plus some I’ve read recently plus fav series. (for series I tried to choose my fav from each but the series as a whole can also be represented)

they need to remake this movie but in a way that truly does their relationship justice. like I love the movie but it erases chief's queer identity and the inherently homoerotic relationship that the two of them have. like I just Need there to be more recognition of chief and his queerness and how important that is to the story and how literally without chiefs deep love and admiration for mcmurphy there wouldn't be a book. like homoeroticism is so deeply intertwined into the plot of the book in so many subtle ways you can't ignore it without ignoring the most important parts of the book
