"loving you is gold down a well. loving you is a death sentence. the wolf is an excuse, and not even a good one. you were an animal before the bite."

OUGHHHHHH OW

"hadn't she been thinking she didn't think about the past much? now here she was thinking about the past again. maybe she remembered all the time, then forgot she'd remembered."

if i had a nickel for every time i related heavily with a character named sunny, i'd have 2 nickels. which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice

i spy with my little eye something that could turn into a yuriful experience

been a while since a romance has made me tear up...and on the job no less!!!!! waow :']

sometimes u pick smth up without reading past the first sentence of the blurb and it quickly becomes something u don't expect it will be and u feel a tender ache where u didn't expect to feel it

ok i got thru 20 pages of oxford handbooks i'm sorry there are 100. i have to return to them but for now, a break. sry 4 spamming ur timeline <3

btw had to dnf jesus wept for the time being...i do plan to come back to it but i just don't have the bandwidth to continue for now

once i finish all the physical stuff i have out from the library i am going to have to read a new dostoy. i'm thinking the idiot but i can be persuaded for demons. what i REALLY want to do is reread tbk but patience is a virtue, i suppose--gotta ration that one out.

have been trying to get through Careless People by SWW, but i just couldn't keep going. it was a bit of a slog, mostly because i already know facebook sucks. i know zuck is an asshole, and i know socmed sites are run just like any other business, no matter how much they market as a means of connection. sww, i'm sorry your work environment sucked colossally, but you were also complicit. yikes.

uhhh. GNARLY. nauseous in a good way! this is REALLY good body horror--gagged while reading

OKAY OKAY I'M DONE ADDING THINGS TO MY TBR FOR TODAY. JESUS. SRY 4 THE FEED BARRAGE THERE ARE TOO MANY PROMISING RELEASES!!!!!!! AUGH!!!!!!!! 2MUCH 2READ NEVER ENOUGH TIME!!!!!!

ouuuu vampire media we are so back. reaching levels of back previously unknown to man

"the soloist seems to play twice as many notes as two violins combined, and still its cadenzas, while extraordinary--perfect, even--are also insufficient, as if some inexpressible, achingly ungraspable joie de vivre is just out of reach."
ouuuugh authors trying to put language to evocations of classical pieces my beloved!!! hits so good every time

might as well call me disturbed the way i have been down with the sickness these past few days. grateful to get back to this little gem. intensely fascinated and enthralled by the marriage of ovid and what appears to be something faustian? evocative of dorian gray perhaps? who knows; only time will tell. very, Very much enjoying.

OVID!!!! oh how i've missed you

oh we are So back. in a time ripe with (particularly greco-roman) retelling fatigue...what a breath of fresh air. so early into this book but soooooo excited to wade through it

oh. ew nevermind

IS THERE YAOI I SEE IN MY LATE-STAGE CAPITALISM GRINDSET CYBERDOOM SLACKCHAT NOVEL

trying to read bev and tripp's msgs is giving me a headache it's awesome

"a dirge scrawled across the bathroom stall of human consciousness right there for me to gaze upon until i just can't anymore, i just can't it's too much it hurts or worse it doesn't hurt but it should, somehow, i mean that kind of pain should hurt a person, it should cause physical pain in their body so i flinch at where the pain isn't and i click away from the fallen soldiers and check my email and turn up spotify"

u know what. hell yeah

ugh please not this. if this particular story beat follows the route it feels it might... it certainly wouldn't be enough to ruin the experience, but i find it hard to believe this trajectory wouldn't sour it for me, at least a touch
