THE SIX DEATHS OF THE SAINT by Alix E. Harrow

But you rose, as you always did, and you looked into the pool, as you always did. You saw yourself as a sickly child, and you understood once again who you were, and would be, and are now: a woman following her own footprints, a snake eating her own tail, forever.

AITA for being annoyed my client/host threw my only mirror out of a window?

I (22M) am a solicitor and currently staying at a client’s castle in Transylvania. As I was shaving this morning my client (??M) grabbed my mirror, got mad at me for bleeding, called the mirror a “foul bauble of man’s vanity” and threw it out of the castle window. I was annoyed and was going to say something but then I noticed he was making my bed even though he says he has servants(?? I have yet to see one)

Edit: is it strange that I didn’t see his reflection in the mirror??

We can fix it. Astley Cooper performed the surgery 40 years ago. I read the case report. He killed the patient. I know. I know, but medicine's changed. We changed it. Belle, there is a reason why the best surgeon in the century failed. Thomas Brodie-Sangster and Maia Mitchell The Artful Dodger (2023–) 1.08: "Untapped Potential"

i get that he was probably just agitated with klaasje at this point but he went really went straight in for the kill here. kim put aside his discomfort with matters of the heart to go up to bat for lesbians

#kim subbed to a queer lit review newsletter on a whim and now he can sense the predatory lesbo card from a mile away #disco elysium #mine

The day before yesterday I was looking at statistics about reading habits in different countries (average book count per year, age, most read genre, etc) and then yesterday i came across a poll here asking how many books youve read so far this year and now im wondering:

The highest I saw (not just in that poll's tags but on other socials as well) was 365! With the person in question being a lil under 300 rn.

The lowest (and no shame here! I myself have picked up reading again after a long time and it's quite the challenge) was 1! But I also saw lots of people aim for 5.

The average seems to be anywhere around 30 to 60!

And the second most common bracket (interesting that it's also the one made up of mostly late teens and early 20yos) is 10-30!

Idk if anyone will read this but if u do, id love to know more about your thought process in the tags!

(Just pls be kind to each other and no fucked up elitism lol)

#books #reading #literature #reading goals #lit #poll #al's poll #al's post #mine is pretty low bc i stopped reading for years so i need to ease up into it and be kind to myself (+ i have uni and im trying to do #another thing that takes a lot of time) based on that and a bunch of other stuff i initially aimed for 12 but now 13 also bc it's my lucky #number hehe #but ye lil me would read honestly like even 50 books in a year #and in their 3rd language - wtf happened😭

I don’t give up on anyone easily. I’ll be there hoping for the best until my brain eventually convinces my heart that letting go is better for us in the long run. So don’t ever doubt my loyalty or my love

i just got to the part of pride & prejudice in like. chapter 34 when mr. darcy goes to lizzy and says "In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you." and um. yeah if I were a girl in the regency era reading this for the first time right as it was published they would've sent me to the seaside to treat my hysteria

#NO BC LIKE IT'S NOT LIKE A MOVIE WHERE THE WHOLE FOCUS IS THE BOTH OF THEM PACKED IN 90 MINS #THE BOOK IS SO EPISODIC & CENTERED IN LIZZY'S POINT OF VIEW THAT AS YOU FOLLOW ALONG IN THE MUNDANE DAY-TO-DAY #ONGOINGS & THE DRAMA AROUND COLLINS AND HER SISTER & MR BINGLEY #THAT YOU'RE *JUST AS SURPRISED* AS ELIZABETH WHEN DARCY RUSHES IN AND TELLS HER #pride and prejudice #mine #if you followed me for witch3r content too fucking bad it's classic lit time
