Happy Loop Day!

September the 3rd, 1940, our lovely loop was created by our Ymbryne Miss Alma LeFay Peregrine :> Today I am celebrating by reading on my hammock as I watch planes pass by in the sky

(as I am not entirely comfortable showing my face on this platform yet, I decided to blur it out, I was wearing one of my favorite outfits and wanted to show it off!)

although I am shifting to the book version, this photo still holds a special place in my heart ♥️

people have these aesthetic book shelves, library and shit meanwhile here i am downloading my 789th illegal pdf/epub.

these are some books that i've bought recently. expecting lispector and camus of me should be common sense by now. and of course, literary theory. 🤍

probably will finish in the margins by ferrante today.

i need to choose another but it's hard when you have many clarice books in your shelf and not think about picking one up.

i'm not doing ok since my birthday (feb 16th). it's raining a bit these days, so it makes my days better. thank god nature. 🌧🤍

also, it's time for restart studying: manifesting.

late valentines with my girl ottessa and the view of a rainy day 🤍 🌧

i feel like clarice lispector broke me and saved me at the same time. viscerally affected by each sentence from 'água viva'.

started 'água viva' today. my first clarice! her writing is wow, i've been annotating a lot. so many thoughts already. just wild!

i was gonna go for run today, but gave up, it's been one of those lazy days. probably do some yoga before go to bed.

tomorrow i feel like it's gonna be a good day. (probably won't though) - let's keep it positive.

that's a goal: be more positive! 🤍🌧

1am, i'm reading 'hiperculturalidade', and it's so good. probably, i'll be finishing it on thursday or friday.

also, i read today 'blue horses' by mary oliver and liked it. wasn't too invested tho, but it's great.

and in the morning, i was able to read a lot of 'the idiot' by elif batuman. this book is making me so happy! her writing is amazing and just to be in selin's mind is fascinating.

be kind to yourselves 🤍🌧

continuing this one today! i'm still on 10% but really enjoying it. it's funny and brings some good questions to think about.

other than that, i apply for next semester's classes. hope i'll be accepted at all of them.

i'm trying to think more about the projects i'd like to work on.

i hope it rains today. 🌧

Hi!!

I bought 4 books recently, 2 of them arrived today:

• o mito de sísifo - camus;

• exílios e poemas - james joyce.

As you know, I already read the myth of sysifus, but it was on kindle and i wanted to have the physical one. And the Joyce's, I never even had heard about it, but found it online and it sounds interesting.

Be kind to yourselves, fellas! 🤍🌧

Pounding my fists on the ground I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE'S A NEW BOOK IN THE INKWORLD SERIES CORNELIA FUNKE YOU WILL ALWAYS BE FAMOUS TO ME!!!!

I think technically Dragon Rider was my first Funke book which led me to Inkheart, which I would say is the single book that has had the greatest impact on my life. I finally finished reading the entire trilogy while in college and I LOVED it, absolutely mind blowing that there's a new book in the series and I have it and I'm reading it!!!

The cover art is absolutely beautiful (I have the Karl James Mountford & Steve Wells design), reading it so far has been like returning to my first home, I am so excited and so happy.

Next level would be rereading the series in the original German (finding out Funke is German was probably also what initially sparked my interest in actually learning the language, moreso than even knowing that I come from a German background lmao).

I eventually want to get the entire series in hardcover variants - I was a child when I bought the original books and the years are definitely showing on the softcovers :').

Anyway Cornelia you mean everything to me.

꒰ If I had known who Godot is, I would have written it in the script . . . !

📚✨First Post Feelings✨📚

Hi there! After years of lurking, dreaming, and filling draft after draft with half-finished thoughts, I'm finally starting this little bookish corner of the internet.

This blog has been in the works for ages—scribbled in notebooks, imagined during late-night reads, and quietly nurtured through countless "maybe someday" moments. I've always loved stories: the kind that wreck you, heal you, haunt you, and hug you. But I never quite found the courage to share my thoughts out loud… until now.

So here I am! Ready to ramble about books, scream about characters, overanalyze plot twists, and fall into fictional worlds with reckless abandon. Whether you're here for reviews, reading challenges, aesthetic ramblings, or chaotic bookworm energy—I'm so glad you're here.

Let's get lost in stories together. 💫

After many a redecoration I think I finally found the way that my books look best!(The books on the left were the main issue) Though this will likely have to be redecorated again when more series join the shelf

Surprising what you can dig out of books if you read long enough, isn't it?

—Robert Jordan, The Shadow Rising

My simping over interracial relationships.

As a POC who married a white guy, I didn't know I was so into these until I got a little older. It doesn't matter who is what but the moment I see POC x Non-POC, I'm immediately hooked.

Sir Torsten Unger and Olleander! I wanted them to be together so bad, I could taste it. I mean, they were together but like I needed more because I'm an addict.

I just finished Defy the Stars but this has WAY MORE PERSONAL TOUCH TO IT BECAUSEEEEEEEE THE MC is Latina and Abel is a blonde guy. Not to mention our names use the same first letter, lol.

I told my husband about Noemi and Abel and he said: "Are you fetishizing me? I'm husband." It's kinda funny because my husband has autism, so some of the funny things he says kind reminds me of Abel.

So, yes, if you are writing a poc x non-poc in your book. I will read it and project myself on it so hard.

So true Lmao
