Considering I only finished like 3 books from September to December I am happy with how I did in 2023 😊

Chip the glasses and crack the plates!
Blunt the knives and bend the forks!
That’s what Bilbo Baggins hates —
Smash the bottles and burn the corks!
Cut the cloth and tread on the fat!
Pour all the milk on the pantry floor!
Leave the bones on the bedroom mat!
Splash the wine on every door!
Dump the crocks in a boiling bowl;
Pound them up with a thumping pole;
And when you’ve finished, if any are whole,
Send them down the hall to roll!
That’s what Bilbo Baggins hates!
So, carefully! carefully with the plates!
That’s what Bilbo Baggins hates!
So, carefully! carefully with the plates!

Do you like reading Urban Fiction Romance ☺️💙?
No, I'm afraid I wouldn't say I'm a big fan of urban fiction. When I read I want to escape to places far from where I live if that makes sense.
Thanks for the ask 😊

Another bookcase update. Eventually on the wall I am framing Emily Dickinson, and Carson McCullers.
And in the future I will replace that LOTR set with a new set that will not crumble because now I know that special editions are not meant to be read.

the lee scorseby “you love her but thats not enough is it” line is also like at the very heart of the story. the fact that mrs coulter loves lyra doesnt stop her from treating her cruelly and it doesn’t stop lyra from rejecting her. the fact that lee loves lyra doesn’t stop him from dying and leaving her. the fact that lyra loves pan doesnt stop their separation. the fact that john parry loves his wife and his son doesnt stop him from leaving them and it doesn’t bring him back. the fact that will and lyra love one another doesnt stop them from being torn apart. love never conquers loss in hdm the way it usually does especially in kids media and thats what makes the ending so jolting and devastating because you keep believing until the last second before will closes the window that there’s going to be a happy ending, because how could there not be, they’re in love…. but then they lose each other anyway

“Fairies here your steps advance;
To the harp’s soft dulcet sound,
Let your footsteps lightly bound.
Unveil your forms to mortal eye.”
—Felicia Dorothea Hermans, “Invocation to the Fairies” (1812)
