“Slaves sing most when they are most unhappy. The songs of the slave represent the sorrows of his heart; and he is relieved by them, only as an aching heart is relieved by its tears.”

This is surprisingly coherent and understandable for being written so long ago, most ye olde books are complete gibberish to me. Shoutout to Mr Douglass for making sense

Ok I’m officially at the point where I need to get a life because why am I spending all my time watching pazzi edits, I don’t even watch basketball 😭

8 days until BITE ME aaaaaa i can’t wait

Thinking of that one Roald Dahl quote about how no matter what you look like on the outside, if you’re kind than you will always be beautiful <3

Just had the privilege of listening to ocean Vuong speak and oh my god he is one of the most articulate, intelligent people I have ever heard from. BRB, buying all his books

All I do is yap and read books that are not on my tbr or currently reading

I see that we’ve changed our stance on murder…

Ma is the best character, hands down

Ok imma be real, not saving or helping the women of jiankang has me losing respect for zhu like u didn’t even try?? Not even a little?

It’s been a hot second since I’ve read a fantasy novel, I missed it

Lowkey eating this up rn

The struggle of deciding which books to pack for vacation is real 💔💔 (I had 4 on the way there are 6 coming home last time I can’t keep doing this 😭)

I really love Leigh bardugo’s writing style and world building but this definitely doesn’t hit as hard as the grishaverse. If you’re a darklina shipper (I’m not, genyalina my beloved) then you’d probably enjoy it more, I personally don’t mess with immortal centuries old men and women in their 20s, it gives me the ick.

I’m obsessed with this book

I said I was saving money for vacation… what do I do the second I walk into the airport store? If you guessed “buy a hardcover signed edition of Bury our bones in the midnight soil”, you would be correct!!

The way I only read 3 books this month but I’ve lowkey never had a more productive summer in my life and all my reads were 5 stars 😭

I’m actually really enjoying this so far, it’s such an interesting premise and the writing style is really unique

TWELVE dollars for the kindle edition??? Girl I’m just buying the physical copy at this point, that’s insane

Meh… I feel like the characters need to be more developed but I appreciate the effort

The lack of commas in this is physically painful to me

I wrote something today in honor of the protests that I’m really proud of and sums up my thoughts on them, putting it in comments bc it’s long.

Do yall have any good sapphic book recommendations?

Back on my bs (AO3)

Been thinking about this poem a lot, especially during pride.

It’s too long for a statues so check comments

Cleaning my bookshelf and realizing just how many books I own… I think I have a problem
