hello! pwmov anon here! I hope you're doing alright!

So, you asked me if I had been reading something recently. Well kinda. My mom got me a book that i asked her to buy me one (mostly bc the bookstores near me are far away and i craved books and this was at sam's club) so i picked up a book that was fantasy and it sounded very interesting. But thing is after i bought it i looked up the warnings and the author left a post on Goodreads saying the book has a lot of gore. And i tried reading it but I'm not sure I'll continue it :/. $15 down the drain. I was thinking that maybe if i were to read fantasy maybe i should stick to young adult fantasy. Not like whole adult fantasy. So in reality i haven't really read anything. I've been sticking to fanfics and I've been reading for new characters from my fandoms (marvel and star wars) and it has been fun. Until i have money again and maybe i can buy a book or whatever.

Okay so i wanted to talk to u about something else. Remember how we talked about the future and what we wanted to do with our lives in the studying/work kinda thing. Well. I had this idea. And that was, to open up a bookshop.

I live in the Caribbean, so basically, an island. And there's not much bookstores that sell stuff i may like. There's literally 3 (all from the same name/company/whatever). And yesterday i got recommended a book store from here that i had never heard before and i got so excited. Sadly it's 2 hours away. But i got so excited for them bc i felt like i was watching my dream live out in them. Bc my dream was also theirs. (They opened the other day legit)

But i did felt a bit jealous. Bc for the past months I've had this thought of what if what if what if i opened up a bookstore.

I know people read here but they mostly buy online. But opening up a store would be so cool and entertaining bc i would be surrounded by stuff i love. Which is books.

This is a thought i have but idk if it will happen. I feel like i day dream a lot about stuff. Especially about my future. What would my apartment be like when i live alone, if i will have the same car i have now, will i still be living in the island?

I kinda wanna stay here tho. I like it here. I feel comfy here.

But i get so sad that we don't have a lot of bookstores. And libraries are no good bc all they have are books for education. Not for example romance which is a genre i like.

Anyways, seeing those people open up a bookstore that sells books that are interesting to me, all by themselves made me think: "if they can, so can i".

I hope i can go to their bookstore sometime even if it's so far away.

For now. I'll just keep daydreaming and thinking about my future.

Have a nice day! 💖

I am so sorry this is so delayed. It got buried under a few other asks/replies in my inbox. I hope you've been doing well, my friend!

I understand completely about not wanting to continue a book because of specific things/triggers. It's always so frustrating/disappointing. Did you end up continuing?

A bookstore would be a great job to have, especially if you own it yourself! That's such a lovely dream to have (and it's one that I've considered as well) :)

Have a nice day, too! 💜
