i genuinely don’t think we were meant to read loads of books. we were meant to collect them, but not consume them. when i read more than like a book a week, I don’t even remember what happened in the book anyway. i want to be more intentional about reading — slowing my reading pace down so i enjoy reading, not just breezing through every tome i can get my hands on to increase my book count for the year.

It’s funny. No matter where you go, or how many books you read, you still know nothing, you haven’t seen anything. And that’s life. We live our lives trying to find our way. It’s like that Santōka Taneda poem, the one that goes, ‘On and on, in and in, and still the blue-green mountains.’
— Satoshi Yagisawa, Days at the Morisaki Bookshop

“What is home?”
It’s a place surrounded with books annotated with emotions, aged papers with messy handwritings, piano hugged by vines, sounds of ticking old clock filling the air, soothing smell of scented candles, magical library with books roaming around, a lake in front of the house accompanied by a kitten, near a garden filled with white flowers on the hillside, and with you by my side.

Currently reading one of my most anticipated books this year. The average goodreads rating for this is currently 4.46 which is insane and also really impressive and so far I can see why!! Emily Wilde can handle a fairy king whether he’s hungover at a cafe or proposing on one knee. And I massively relate to her love for libraries. I also really missed the banter between her and Wendell - the urge to reread the first book is strong and I rarely reread books these days. Here’s hoping this turns out to be another 5🌟 read!

BACKGAMMON (noun) - a board game in which two players move their pieces around twenty-four triangular points according to the throw of dice, the winner being the first to remove all their pieces from the board.
Emma spared no exertions to maintain this happier flow of ideas, and hoped, by the help of backgammon, to get her father tolerably through the evening, and be attacked by no regrets but her own.
- Emma by Jane Austen, Vol. I, Ch. 01, p. 90.
