Welcome, ma bookish peeps! I'm Dela, and if you love tacos, neon lights, and snowboarding, then we're going to get along just fine. If we had a book to talk about then even better.

I love reading all genres so I guess that makes me a reading mutt? I'm digging high fantasy right now, thanks to Maas's obsession with faeries, but my true love will always be for historical fiction. And anything Aztec/Mayan...oooh baby.

Imagine Beauty

Today’s writing warmup. 7:26pm:

Imagine beauty in its rawest, truest form long before modern language existed. An epoch void of institutions defining the definition of beauty but rather a time where there was no exposition of the word at all. And beauty in humanity was just beauty. And there was no definition of ugly. Because what was ugly?

So imagine that form of beauty—

Now imagine beauty as linear
