hiiiiiiiiiii leo stans !!! sry to keep u all waiting, ik i’ve been delaying posts almost as long as the white house wanted to delay nixon’s trials lol!!
sooooo as u all may know there was some past beef between me and another prominent figure in the leon jaworski fan community a while back.
i want to apologize to @leonjaworskiluvrgrlll for some comments and disagreements we’ve had.
i’ve recently read thru the transcripts of leo’s interviews with bob and carl (eeeeeeee!!! u guys it was soooooooo cute omggggg he told a lil story abt his grandson!!!!! ugh and theres SOOOOO much DRAMA!! ) and it rly made me reflect on the leo content i’ve put out here. i was operating off of limited information and fell prey to some flash judgements inappropriate for someone committed to a man of the law (remember: “no one -- absolutely no one -- is above the law” 💖💖💞💞💞💞💗💗💗💕💕💕💖💖💖).
@leonjaworskiluvrgrlll and i have since reconciled and realized there’s someone even better for our baby than nixon OR sirica -- al haig!!!
leon and al had “an unusual working relationship” 👀👀👀👀 sooooooo u may be getting some content abt that *real* soon from ljlgrrl & i !!! <3333

,,Na każde życie składa się wiele milionów decyzji. Niektóre są poważne, inne niewiele znaczące. Ale za każdym razem, gdy podejmujemy taką a nie inną decyzję, zmienia się ciąg dalszy. Następuje nieodwracalna zmiana, która z kolei prowadzi do następnych zmian."
- Matt Haig, "Biblioteka o Północy"

Buongiorno...
Concediti ogni giorno una cosa bella. Anche piccola. Leggi una poesia. Ascolta una canzone che ti piace. Ridi con un amico. Osserva il cielo appena prima che il sole precipiti verso la notte. Guarda un classico del cinema. Mangiati una fetta di torta al limone. Scegli tu. Basta che sia un modo semplice per ricordare a te stesso che il mondo è pieno di meraviglie. Anche nei momenti della vita in cui non siamo in grado di apprezzarle, a volte aiuta ricordarsi che esistono cose belle, per quando saremo pronti.

Per come la vedo io si tratta di un problema legato al vivere nel XXI secolo. Molti di noi possiedono tutte le cose materiali di cui hanno bisogno, perciò ormai il compito del marketing è legare l’economia alle emozioni, indurci a credere di avere nuovi bisogni spingendoci a volere cose di cui non avevamo mai avuto bisogno. Ci spingono a sentirci poveri con un reddito di trentamila sterline l’anno. A pensare di aver viaggiato troppo poco se abbiamo visitato solo dieci paesi stranieri. A sentirci vecchi se abbiamo una ruga. A sentirci brutti se le nostre immagini non vengono ritoccate o abbellite da filtri. Nel Seicento non conoscevo nessuno che volesse trovare il proprio miliardario interiore. L’unico desiderio era sopravvivere fino all’adolescenza ed evitare i pidocchi.

2024 TBR
It's the last day of December, and I am still stuck in bed with the flu. Twelve days of lying in bed feeling terrible. The only upside of my bed-bound misery is updating my reading spreadsheet. I bought quite a few books in 2023 and haven't had the time to update my spreadsheet.
Because of this update I realized that i have 33 unread books on my shelf. That is a lot of books. Leaving these books unread on my shelf forever would be a waste of space, so I have set a goal for myself. Read all the unread books on my bookshelf.
There are 52 weeks in a year. If I were to read one book a week, I would reach my reading goal with ease. To motivate me to read these books I am setting one simple rule: no more buying books until the unread books have been read. Basically just a book-buying-ban.
So here is a full list of all the unread books on my bookshelf.
Yerba Buena - Nina Lacour
One of Us is back - Karen M. McManus
Paper Towns - John Green
An Abundance of Katherines - John Green
The Anthropocene Reviewed - John Green
All I Know Now - Carrie Hope Fletcher
In The Time We Lost - Carrie Hope Fletcher
Pindakaas en Sushi 2 - Roderick Leeuwenhart
Pindakaas en Sushi 3 - Roderick Leeuwenhart
Heartstopper vol. 5 - Alice Oseman
Solitaire - Alice Oseman
Loveless - Alice Oseman
Pride and Prejudice and Pittsburg - Rachel Lippincott
The Love Hypothesis - Ali Hazelwood
The Sky is Everywhere - Jandy Nelson
Als het Leven Pijn Doet - René Diekstra
Hoop - Roland van der Vorst
Grote Kleine Dingen - Liane Moriarty
Wild - Charyl Strayed
The Midnight Library - Matt Haig
Throne of Glass - Sarah J. Maas
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo - Taylor Jenkind Reid
Normal People - Sally Rooney
The Queen and I - Sue Townsend
Bi - Julia Shaw
I am Glad My Mom Died -Janette McCurdy
Howl's Moving Castle - Dianna Wynne Jones
Castle In The Air - Dianna Wynne Jones
Here's To Us - Adam Silvera & Becky Albertelli
More Happy Than Not - Adam Silvera
Five Survive - Holly Jackson

¿Qué libro estás leyendo ahora mismo? Eres de mis perfiles favoritos 🖤
Hola, he terminado de leer "La Biblioteca De Medianoche" de Matt Haig.
Honestamente no soy fanático de las lecturas de índole positivas.
Porque al final siempre estará la moraleja de un bien venir.
La pregunta de qué hace que una vida sea perfecta es omnipresente e incontestable, lo cual el autor sugiere que si bien el arrepentimiento es inevitable, la clave está en aprovechar al máximo la vida que tenemos.
Tal vez, el ligar o ejemplificar las acciones con la vivencia que se refleja en un día a día sea lo que agradezco del libro.
Una buena lectura para pasar un buen rato.
¡Gracias por el apoyo!!!! 😭
¿Usted está leyendo algún libro?
¡Hágamelo saber!! 🖤🐷

Right, I've rounded up a few of my faves from the last few years, hopefully you'll find something new that appeals to you 😊 Most of them wander between fantasy/historical fiction/gothic and most of them have compelling relationships (sometimes romantic, sometimes not) between characters. Feel free to peruse at your leisure 🥰
Nettleblack by Nat Reeve
- late Victorian detective farce set in a small Sussex village. Soooo many queer characters. The narrator, Henry, is anxious as fuck (relatable) and her speaking style can be a little grating to start with, but it winds up being endearing. Told through letters/diaries/casebooks, so you get multiple character POVs. I finished reading it last weekend and I adored it.
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
- a book about a night circus, and a bet between two old men about which of their apprentices will win out which spans decades and will have consequences for many more people than just them. But the description is the thing in this book - I'm usually not big on reading really descriptive books (it took me a looooooong time to get through Lord of the Rings) but this one just does it so gorgeously, I could read descriptions about the Night Circus forever.
This is how you lose the time war by Max Gladstone and Amal al Mohtar
- I know this got really popular again recently, but it definitely deserves all the love. An enemies to lovers epic sweeping tale about two immortal beings, Red and Blue, told through their love letters to each other.
Plain Bad Heroines by Emily M Danforth
- A story told partly in the past, partly in the present; in the past, a boarding school seems to be cursed, and several girls die in horrific but mysterious circumstances. In the present, a movie is being made about and set at the school, and three very different girls are involved in the production and each other's lives. I adored the relationship between the three protagonists and the Gothic haunted old boarding school of it all.
The Midnight Library by Matt Haig
- TW suicide - a young woman tries to kill herself and finds herself in a magical library between life and death, where every book is a different version of what her life could have been. I just thought the concept was executed beautifully.
Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
- Pretty much what it says on the tin. A spoiled Mexican girl goes to visit/rescue her cousin, who's just been married off to an English man who lives in a mansion up a hill through a forest. Spooky gothic vibes, criticism of colonialism, and a protagonist who is flawed without being unlikeable.
Wylding Hall by Elizabeth Hand
- What if Fleetwood Mac spent a summer recording an album in a creepy old English mansion, among relationship drama, band drama, and a few unsettling ghosts, and then one of them never came back? Told in interviews with the band years later, another one that executes really well on its concept, despite being under 200 pages.
The Lions of Al Rassan by Guy Gavriel Kay
- Historical fantasy set in a fantasy version of Muslim Spain. Explores the relationship between a Spanish/Christian soldier, the Muslim adviser to the King (who also assassinated the last emperor) and a Jewish female doctor (obviously the religions are given different names since it's historical fantasy, but that's clearly what they are). The relationships between the characters are so beautiful and nuanced and the ending made me cry. This is one of the books on my reread every few years list, so you know it's good. Definitely a chunky one though!
The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzi Lee
- Henry 'Monty' Montague was raised by his abusive father to be a gentleman, but he prefers to be bisexual and have a good time, and he's hoping his Grand Tour with his bff Percy will be a great last hurrah. Life has other plans, however. Percy is mixed race and also has a disability and that's explored really interestingly in this - it's set in the late 18th century (I believe), so I tend to describe it as YA Black Sails (and mean that as a compliment!). Great friends to lovers romantic subplot. There are also two sequels about Henry's siblings plus a spin off about Henry and Percy, which are also excellent, but this first one is my personal favourite.
oooooh!! these all sound amazing!! thank you so so much! 💖💖
