bingewatching will never come close to bingereading. there is nothing like blocking out the entire Earth for ten hours to read a book in one sitting no food no water no shower no bra and emerging at the end with no idea what time it is or where you are, a dried-up prune that's sensitive to light and loud noises because you've been in your room in the dark reading by the glow of a single LED. it's like coming back after a three-month vacation in another dimension and now you have to go downstairs and make dinner. absolutely transcendental

Not me getting into a book slump after crashing and burning with a good book series.

[valereece]

I am helpless when you tell me you love me, helpless when you hold my hand. I can not refuse your affections for my heart has become yours solely.
