quick reminder that it’s ok to say that you love reading and that reading is your passion without reading 30+ books in a year. if you connect with books and love the power of the written word, you’re bookish. you don’t need to justify your love of reading.

how many books do I want to read? all of them. there is no limit. my frail body will one day be crushed under the weight of my tbr pile and my mind will rejoice at all the lives I have lived, at all the new words that I have learnt and yet there will still be more books that I wish to read. i am simply a gaping chasm that only books can fill.

Goodreads has become nothing more than a fractured reflection of an industry that demands the blending of art and commerce, where actual communal relationships and authentic, good-faith reviews vanish

I keep seeing lists and recs for short books/stories to cram in before the year is up to meet the “reading goal” and it makes me feel sad that I know how that feels. I feel sad that people need to feel rushed to read.
Slow down, friends. Read what you want, read what you must, but don’t force yourself to consume. I feel like reading should be about quality over quantity.

 • a diverse cast (poc, lgbtqia+, disabled and/or mentally ill mc's)
• a love for redemption and/or corruption arcs
• slowburn romances/friendships/dynamics (I love the disliked to I trust you completely pipeline that takes years and years)
• philosophical themes
• dark fantasy/sci-fi wip's, or contemporary/historical stories that deal with the problems individuals/societies face
• a love for world building, especially when it comes to magic systems, religions and cultures
• complicated relationship webs and group dynamics 
• morally ambiguous characters, character driven stories and/or character arcs that go deep into their psychology 
• Bonus points if you illustrate your work, I love you, you can do it!!! (lets suffer together)
Also, everyone in general who wants to talk about writing/reading, scream about their oc's or would like to do some reading challenges together! 🌻
