other than law books

I had an old tumblr account that I left dormant until (if I'm not mistaken) last year when I finally deleted said account but what do ya know, I'm back with a new one. I have the same instagram handle btw, @otherthanlawbooks as my book account.

Why @otherthanlawbooks? I just was sick of having to read law books after doing bar review. I took the PH bar exams in February this year after four postponements so I was really so tired and so done with it and by the time I finished the bar, I've decided to take on reading (mostly) fiction again. So books but not law books = other than law books. That's the best I could think of. Wow. Yes. Do not judge, that's that.

So basically, I didn't want law books or anything about law to be my personality but again, what do you know, it kind of backfired.

Anyway, I've decided this account could be my reading/binge watching diary 'cause I can't seem to do it on instagram. I will be posting my #bookthoughts and #bookfeels about my 2022 Read list. I am hoping I can find a tumblr reading community as well.

Oh and btw, I'm Gel and I'm aware I'm talking to no one here right now. Just allow me to document this. *Cringe*

Taylor Swift, in her NYU 2022 Grad Speech (https://www.elle.com/culture/celebrities/a40037720/taylor-swift-nyu-commencement-speech-transcript/ said: "Learn to live alongside cringe. No matter how hard you try to avoid being cringe, you will look back on your life and cringe retrospectively. Cringe is unavoidable over a lifetime. Even the term ‘cringe’ might someday be deemed ‘cringe.’"
