I had no idea Tuesdays with Morrie was based on real-life events when I picked it up. It left me with tears in my eyes and a full heart. A beautiful story about life, death, and all the little things that matter in between. 💙📚

Harbinger by Geneva Lee is easily one of my favourite reads this year. A beautiful slow-burn romantasy with magic, witches, stars, incredible world-building, and so many lovable characters I struggled to pick a favourite. I very much just inhaled this book for the past two days. Also... Bishop! 📚💙

Spending time watching the last visible star fade into the daylight. ✨

'Breadcrumbs are never a meal. And love, will die, when it begs to be fed.' - Marie France- Leger #sundaysentence 📚💙

Not bad for such a stupidly busy month. It helped that half were read in fun company (SSS 🤍). A love letter to whiskey - absolutely yes! Songbird in the gallows - also yes! Almond - it's a mix of soft and sad but yes! Before the coffee gets cold - it's beautiful! Vicious lost boys - no. 📚💙

Me: Buys two of the same toy so everyone can be happy. Dogs: No, we both want THAT one.

Started last night, already devoured 5 chapters. "the thing about whiskey is that it’s a stubborn drink that refuses to be ignored. It doesn’t just sit on a shelf in a pretty bottle and wait patiently. No, it clamors for attention, and that was just shitty news for thirsty fools like me." 💙📚

How long is an acceptable amount of time before you DNF a book? Asking because I've made several sincere attempts to read this one but apparently my brain has decided it's a sedative. It's been nearly 2 weeks. 🥴

Who among us hasn’t dreamt of slowly descending down a stone spiral staircase with a torch in hand and discovering a hidden candlelit library filled with thousands of centuries-old novels and being welcomed by a friendly-yet-misunderstood library ghost?

Books read over the past two months. Not in order, not organized, and probably missing one I forgot about. I just kept adding them as I remembered them. Summer is apparently not my most productive reading season, but there are some really good ones in here. 💙📚🌶

New ramble. A trip to the vet, books, life things, and a huge amount of time spent worrying about a certain cat. (Since I recorded this we got the diagnosis, Jack was diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease, the feline equivalent of crohn's. 😩) soundgasm.net/u/temptedeli...

Some people treat kindness like a vending machine. If nothing comes out, they stop pressing the button.

Spent the night cleaning dog puke. Who needs nightmares when reality is already so creative?

I read more books than I thought I did. Not many are worth reading. The ones I can recommend are Trick and Mr Poirot, which I read alongside Labrini. I saw someone describe Trick as a dark romance, and I have to disagree. It really isn't. It's surprisingly subtle. It's just a genuinely fun story.💙📚

I'm not intentionally neglecting this account, it's just life is too busy at the moment. I might post about this month's books when I have a moment. 🤍

My sister just sent me this and now i want to cry. Look how pretty!

New night ramble. Mostly books, cars, life thoughts, and Bruno spending most of his time being a tiny menace. Basically the usual nonsense. 🤍 soundgasm.net/u/temptedeli...

So many books, so little time. Yet somehow adding more still feels like the solution to the problem. 📚💙

"Maybe the moon is beautiful only because it is far." - Mahmoud Darwish #sundaysentence 📚💙

If you haven’t dropped a book on your face when you attempt to read whilst lying down, can you really claim to have battle scars?

“It is not beauty that endears, it's love that makes us see beauty.” ― Leo Tolstoy #sundaysentence 📚💙

Let me tell you something about this book… it is impressively messed up. There were many moments where I questioned my sanity. And yet… do I recommend it? Absolutely. Against my better judgment, yes. Fair warning, it’s dark romance. And I mean pitch black, no flashlight, good luck in there. 📚💙 📚🌶
