Okay so right now I am reading the brothers Hawthorne and I finally got to that one scene where phone girl talks about how her dad died the candy necklace and the calla Lillies and I have seen everyone talk about how it could relate to her name which it could but also it could mean something else

So calla lilies mean usually purity and innocence and this is the white calla Lillies it could be like phone girls dad giving her the clear sign of loss of her innocence or giving her innocence for the one she was about to lose

But another think the color is never mentioned maybe it’s black? And ya black calla Lillies exist they are usually black with a more pinkish purple on the outside and black calla Lillie’s signify mystery maybe it was her father handing her a mystery she’ll be forced to solve and also purple usually signifies royalty it could be his hint to her ?

I don't want to study. I don't want to eat. I don't want to sleep. I don't want to do anything at all except READ. I have so many books I want to read but unfortunately I have an even bigger syllabus that I ought to complete soon. But I just want to read, IT'S WINTERS. The reading season!

How tragic indeed.

Salutations, I want to follow more reading and writing blogs. So, if you know of any good ones or your account is one please reply to this.

Don’t care if you follow me but if you’re also looking for the same thing this account is a mixture of both. I’m just a queer dude with a lot of time on his hands, a giant physical tbr, and an absurd amount of wips.

did the sun graze your closed eyes

and dance across your face this morning?

did you sigh with contentment

and stretch across your open bed?

did you blink your tired eyes

and glance at the empty spot,

but for the first time,

did you feel okay?

did you sleep well?

did you finally not dream

about the one you’re missing.

have you finally realized

you’re worth more than trying

for someone who won’t try for you.

you are not one to be given up on,

and someone will see that.

but until then, see it for yourself.

wake up every morning

grateful you’re here,

and happy to watch a sunrise,

one almost as beautiful as you.

good morning, sweet one.

fellow chaotic bilinguals, disaster multilinguals, how often do you feel strangely apathetic towards one of the languages you speak, but on the brink of being consumed by another??

#language #bilingual #book blr #i guess #there’s one language i hold v dear but can’t speak really well #and #one that’s actually my mother tongue but can understand only the bare minimum #another one i hated to the point i wouldn’t imagine ever creating in it #and then english #i wonder if this has to do with me just hating reality #and that this has less to do with the languages themselves but my own toxic perfectionism #girl help #i need to know #if anyone else feels the same #on language

Okay so I am reading good girl bad blood right now and here are my predictions (spoilers obvi)

Okay so I think Leah is related to creepy dead lady Hillary and Hillary is related to one of the child Brunswick victims

So Hillary would be 23-24 during the child Brunswick era so maybe she is one of the victims sibling ? The far stretch would be she’s actually child brunswicks mother which would mean she could have possibly been one of Brunswicks victim who escaped but I don’t think that’s likely cause why would she leave her kid

So that might mean the Mary scythe is related to a victim and could be Leah mead I don’t know I just feel Mary is a bit off you know

I guess I have to keep reading I don’t think my predictions right tho

Intro: Favorite Mongolian Authors & more

#slavic roots western mind

I've always had an interest in Mongolia, primarily because there's literally so little international news coverage, at least in my neck of the woods so to speak.

Despite my Mongolian language learning attempts being paused for the time being, I nonetheless continue to fall in love with Mongolian literature with every read, especially with poetry, which is why I've wanted to share my favourite authors.

Here's my quick list of Mongolian authors who's works I've read so far (and a few that are on my to-read radar).

1. Galsan Tschinag

My absolutely favorite poet, born in Mongolia in 1944, famous for his poetry, which interestingly enough was originally written in German, and then translated to English.

His works primarily feature the themes of a nomadic lifestyle, nature, heritage and cultural identity, so if any of these topics interest you, definitely check out his works!

2. Chadraabalyn Lodoidamba

I've only managed to read one of his novels "Тунгалаг тамир" (The Crystal Clear Tamir River), but it's definitely a worthwhile read. Set in the 20th Century, it provides an interesting insight into Mongolian history leading up to the uprising of Mongolia in 1932, with a strong focus on the struggle of the poor against the rich

There's no official English translation (there are German and Russion versions somewhere, but I didn't find them yet), but google translate helped me create a readable version from the original Mongolian.

There's also a movie split into several episodes avaliable on yt but with iffy subtitles, so if you liked the book, you can sort of follow along with the movie.

It's rare for me to hear spoken Mongolian, so watching the movie episodes has been a fascinating experience.

3. Choinom Ryenchi

Once again, I've only read one of this authors works "Buriad", written in 1973 and published in Sümtei Budaryn Chuluu [A Stone from the Steppe with a Monastery] in 1990, but it was enough to interest me.

Buriad refers to an ethnic group in Mongolia, with the poem describing their lifestyle and history. I don't know if what I've read is the entire work, as I found it in a research paper, feauturing said poem with the translation, but it was still quite beautiful.

The style is very lyrical, almost like a song or even a chant at times, and very captivating. A must-read.

4. Mend-Ooyo Gombojav

He has written quite a lot of novels, with many of them luckily translated into English.

His "The Holy One" is a great work of historical fiction, about a 19th century poet and teacher of Buddhism, whose memory and works were later persecuted by the governments fight against intellectuals and free-thinkers, all whilst his works protector attempted to save his works.

Unfortunately I've only read excerpts and bits and pieces, which is pretty frustrating because it seems so good? The style is unusual for me, but it's pretty great either way.

I've read the peom "The Way of the World", which has a rather nostalgic vibe, remembering the past warriors and their heroic deeds but also suggesting that only the stories of their victories will remain. Short but "sweet".

5. Oyungerel Tsedevdamba

I only know her "The Green-eyed Lama", co-written by her and her husband Jeffrey Lester Falt, but the plot description is enough to have me hooked. A love triangle, love and faith amidst war and rebellion... Here's me hoping that it won't be a tear-jerker, because sad endings are not my favorite genre.

Here's a link to a video about Oyungerel's and Jeffrey's writing and research process and how they wrote the novel. It's actually based on a true real-life story, so I guess I'll see how reading this novels turn out. History isn't exactly known for it's happy endings, so we shall see.

6. Combo: Mongolian Short Stories

This one is a compilation of short stories by various Mongolian authors rather than just one author, but it'll have to do because Number 6 exhausts all my knowledge of Mongolian literature.

Edited and compiled by Henry G. Schwarz, each story is about 4-15 pages long with different themes, ranging from daily life in rural Mongolia to critiques of the political situation at the time, the style is a tad over the place, as each author has their own distinct style. Nonetheless, this book gives interesting insights into what life was like in Mongolia at the time, and whether our notions and initial ideas about Mongolia reflect the literary depictions.

Here's my list so far, but chances are I'll update it soon, so watch out for any new updates!

I'll happily share any links and digital copies of these works that I have, just message me please!

I could add more goals but I don’t want to overdo it and these are the main things I want to focus on.
