Good morning from the UK 🇬🇧 everyone and happy #stacksaturday 🙌🏻 Bit of an early post from me today as I’m off to London again this weekend to see Moulin Rouge at the theatre with bestie @stevieredman 😍 Today I’m jumping on the #eightbookseightcountries tag which I saw on the lovely @abrewandabook_ page. One of my favourite things about reading is the countries and cultures I get to experience and I could definitely do this tag all over again with completely different countries. From the top: The Diving Pool - Yoko Ogawa (Japan) The Gustav Sonata - Rose Tremain (Switzerland) My Year Of Rest and Relaxation - Ottessa Moshfegh - (America) The Magician - Colm Toibin - (Germany) The Cat’s Table - Michael Ondaatje - (Sri Lanka) Do Not Say We Have Nothing - Madeleine Thien - (China) The Lives Of Others - Neel Mukherjee - (India) An Orchestra Of Minorities - Chigozie Obioma - (Nigeria) I’d love to know your thoughts on any of these books or authors. Let’s have a chat in the comments and have a lovely weekend everyone! 🤗😘 #bookstagram #bookstack #booksonmyshelf #thedivingpool #yokoogawa #thegustavsonata #rosetremain #myyearofrestandrelaxation #ottessamoshfegh #themagician #colmtoíbín #thecatstable #michaelondaatje #donotsaywehavenothing #madeleinethien #thelivesofothers #neelmukherjee #anorchestraofminorities #chigozieobioma #booksandplants #booksineedtoread https://www.instagram.com/p/CdQBqqygbyi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hey there!

Thank you for the note, and I’m glad to say I’m officially back! I was moving around and without a stable computer for a few years, but I’m finally settled back in New England with a lovely new apartment and a very functioning, useful computer and stable internet connection! 

I’m pleased that I will be making posts regularly again,  and hopefully getting This Week in Science up & running before the end of my busy summer! [: 

Thanks to all who still follow me, and I’m excited to be back at science awareness and interacting with all of you lovely beings!

I will be working on updating all of my personal information, FAQs, and the page itself within the coming weeks. Feel free to submit any suggestions, questions, posts (and/or scientific information or news that you’d like to share with my audience), or just a friendly note. I’m looking forward to getting back on track. 

Hope you’re all enjoying the day!

Hello section and hope you’re having a fabulous weekend so far! Today for #stacksaturday I’m joining in with the #shortbookstack which I was tagged in by the lovely Vicki from @cosy.books I’ve counted a short book as anything 200 pages and under and I was surprised how many I had on my shelves without even hunting very hard! These are all still on my TBR and I’m particularly excited to get to the Yoko Ogawa books, I have a real soft spot for Japanese fiction. As always, I’d love to know know your thoughts on any of these books, if you’ve read them or if they’re on your TBR too. Let me know in the comments! #bookstagram #booklover #bookworm #bookstagrammer #bookstagramchallenge #nothingonearth #conorocallaghan #thestrangelibrary #harukimurakami #yokoogawa #thehousekeeperandtheprofessor #thedivingpool #hoteliris #margaretatwood #surfacing #victoriahislop #thelastdanceandotherstories #springgarden #tomakashibasaki #essexgirls #sarahperry #themetamorphosis #franzkafka https://www.instagram.com/p/CGcqHaMArxl/?igshid=1vbu6yfgxylnl

18,f, 5'5", brown eyes black hair. I read a lot, mostly horror manga lol sorry if this is weird. I live near the beach and there's a lot of pet cats around so we could walk by the beach and look at the stars, pet some cats, and if you feel like going to the city (I live in nyc) I'd take you to some good food places and sightseeing when there's little people (around 10PM the times square crowd dwindles a bit) maybe a broadway play or something lol

i love horror= v=;;!!

aghAGAHHAGG take me on a date I'll be in NYC in June

✐ oh my god write more pretty poems/quotes

oh gosh uuhhhh this is totally self-indulgent

This is an excerpt from Gautier’s Emaux et Camees, as found in Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray. Stupid readmore isn't working.

“Sur une gamme chromatique,Le sein de perles ruisselant,

La Vénus de l’AdriatiqueSort de l’eau son corps rose et blanc.Les dômes, sur l’azur des ondesSuivant la phrase au pur contour,S’enflent comme des gorges rondesQue soulève un soupir d’amour.L’esquif aborde et me dépose,Jetant son amarre au pilier,Devant une façade rose,Sur le marbre d’un escalier.”

THE TOWER: Describe your dream home. and THE STAR: What inspires you? :)

Tower: omg Victorian or old something with a lot of character Maybe stone or dark wood! I want a huge kitchen! with a ton of stoves and ovens and a island black marble too! Oh and i want a room I could make into a library! I love library's and maybe even a sun room! A pond or labyrinth in the back yard!  I also want a game room for my boyfriend and I want it to be really awesome! All set up nice and just like wow factor! haha Oh and a living room that's super cozy with maybe a fireplace.  and yeah... hahaha I think my dream home has a lot of mix matched stuff.

Star: Lots of things, Im inspired by life in general. I find nature inspiring, audrey hepburn, musician, accomplished attorney's, anyone who is doing something they are passionate about. I want to be that person who does everything and does it well and passionately.  This might be why I have one too many hobbies as well...
