This is the genealogy 🧬 of Edward III, it’s a full, two-page spread in my Riverside Shakespeare. As you can see, my notes throughout the years are extensive! 🗒️ This is what book annotation looks like over a decade. 📙📝✍️📚 I’ve fueled several works just from the notes, including yesterday’s blog post. Great literature is NEVER a one-and-done. You’re supposed to return to it over the course of a lifetime!

update!

Just finished putting a save system in my latest project and I also added a couple hundred words while I re-read it! I'm feeling pretty accomplished, but there's still work to be done. Hopefully, the next time I read it through will be the final draft. It's always a great feeling to make progress, no matter how small. Btw, thanks for all the follows you guy! <3

Happy #nationalwomensday! I really miss posting on this account. I keep wanting to get back into it, but I never have time to actually take pictures. I'm hoping to have some time again soon, but for now I have a few that I never posted. This one is one of my favorites! I took it right after finishing Take a Hint, Dani Brown last year. I absolutely loved it, and couldn't resist showing off some of my favorite oracle cards that go with it absolutely perfectly, since Dani's practice with Oshun played such a big role. I also included some of my garnet, which is a crystal that Dani always kept on her! I really adored the relationship in this book, and it's been my favorite romance book I've read so far, especially since it didn't lean too far into miscommunication as a conflict. 💜 💜 💜 #oraclecards #booksandcrytals #photooftheday #readingcommunity #bookcommunity #booktwitter #bookish #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookblog #Bookblogger #BookBlogs #booktok #readingislife #librarylove #Bookworm #Bookmail #booklover #instabooks #readingtime📖 #Bibliophile #bookstoread #library https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpiji9iPPKK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Read THE SPARROW by Mary Doria Russell if you love first contact, religious quandaries, linguistics, pretty aliens, duel narratives, priests in space, music, trauma narratives, telescopes, love triangles, witty banter, interpersonal relationships, movie quotes, found family & having your heart ripped out.

I wasted so much time living in fear that I thought I was comfortable, but I was writing in a cage that I didn't know existed, making lists of all my worries with no intent to do anything about them

“She read paperbacks too, one after the next like she was chain-smoking—romance, science fiction, old pulp fantasy. All she wanted to do was sit, unbothered in a circle of lamplight, and live someone else’s life.” —Leigh Bardugo, Hell Bent •——————————————————————————————• Same Alex.. same.. •——————————————————————————————• #hellbent #ninthhouse #leighbardugo #darkacademia #bookworm #constantreader #booknerdigans #bibliophile #bookaddict #booklove #newbooks #bookaholic #bookshelf #bookcase #library #bookish #bookcommunity #reader #readingislife https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnn62Cnufzp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“All literature may be protest, but not all protest is literature.”’ “If we cannot understand ourselves, we will not be able to understand anything” This might be the second nonfiction book I’ll actually complete. @thebookjoint_ #booksaremyfriends #booksarecool #booksarefun #booksarethebest #bookreviewer #bookrecommendation #bookishfeature #bookishglee #bookbloggers #bookbloggerlife #readingislife #readingismagic #readingislit #readingisawesome #bookreviewersofinstagram #mybookfeatures #bookreview #readingcommunity #bookishpost #bookishlife #jamesbaldwin #readersgonnaread #readerslife #readingaddict #readingcommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CqaeouTrVXQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
