#reading life

I finally went through my shelves and culled a few dozen books that I didn’t enjoy and books that had left no impression: books of genres that I never liked, unsuccessful second and third books by an author whose debut work I loved, debut works that attracted me with glowing reviews or endorsements but failed to meet expectations. At first it was a bit painful to admit that I spent time and money on these, but I understand that it was part of the journey of discovery. Now I don’t miss them at all, and my library more accurately reflects who I am. I am now more judicious about my book purchases having a better understanding of the kinds of books that I enjoy and more skepticism reviews and endorsements. I now favor the classics and recommendations of like minded readers.

Get yourself a good reading partner. Bonus points if they like apples.

JOMP October book photo challenge | Day 4: One word title

Beloved by Tony Morrison is a book about a haunting that deals with a lot of trauma...worth a read, but not an easy one

Almost 3 minutes of zine tours in Albuquerque, New Mexico! Page 1 Books was a delightful find. I plan to make a follow up video with the rest of the zines I was trying to choose from.

So what I do is I read books that came out this year exclusively in print and I read decades-old classic literature in my emails.

Mainly I do this in order to defy god’s will.

#reading #reading life #dracula daily #whale weekly #jekyll and hyde weekly #votn #voyage of the nautilus #meanwhile my library queue is all books that came out in 2022 #and despite all the emails I refuse to become an e-reader #I can only read on screen for small chunks #idk I just find the juxtaposition funny #old methods for new books and new methods for old books #mix and match #defy god’s will
