Reimagined Green Eggs and Ham. Plz go follow her on TikTok @justayari (I think she's going to make a book with it!)
"I do not owe you eggs or ham" by Magaly Sosa:
I do not want green eggs, mmm I do not want green eggs and ham, I do not want them, sam I am, I said it once I said it clear, my no is real, it's rooted here, do not ask me in a house, do not ask me with a mouse, don't try a train or boat or box, I don't need tricks, I don't need talks, I said no kindly, I said it plain, why ask me once and ask again, I don't need pressure, I don't need fear, I don't need please set (said?) in my ear, you twist my words to make me bend, that's not persuasion, it's a trend, where 'no' means maybe and 'not now' gets questioned, poked then flip somehow, you call it fun, you call it game, I do not owe and I will not shrink, my sacred no, and Sam he blinked, he breathed, he knew, he bowed and said "I honour you"
iñ finished the book in the evening, my god, what a great ending!!!!!
i started reading 'butcher & blackbird' and oh my god it's so interesting — although the tw list left me impressed

Does anyone else feel like most people in EVERY FANDOM seem to not be able to separate the quality of a piece of media and their personal opinion.
Like, they say "the show is bad because something I wanted to happen didn't", "the show is bad because I don't like/can't relate to the characters", "the character I like didn't get enough protagonism", "the show is bad because it's woke". The same with movies, book, and videogames.
Bad writting =/= I didn't like it. Why is that so hard to understand?
Updated my original story. Tell me what y'all think please.
people have these aesthetic book shelves, library and shit meanwhile here i am downloading my 789th illegal pdf/epub.
so, i came back to tumblr, after all! weird to be here, i've disappeared almost everywhere, the queen of ghosting. it was for a good reason. i've been dealing with a long period of crisis, gave up 2 semesters at uni, been stuck in my bed 23h/day (not a hyperbole). finally, i feel like coming back here.
in this whole period, i haven't done too much. couldn't read, watched not so many movies/tv shows, but i did listen to a bunch of music. that kept me a bit less depressed.
i feel like i have something inside of me that is trying too hard to get out, but i don't know how to do it; it's a feeling of creation. only a few people actually feel this, like they need to create something, to put it out, but haven't found a way yet. it's stuck, and it's a whole interwork.
AND altho i know that not many people follow me, neither know who i am or whatever, but to anybody reading this and going through something bad, i hope you get better. focus on your health. it'll pass, doesn't matter when, just be strong and keep fighting. this isn't a coaching shit or self-help bad book, but for experience of someone who's dealing with way too much. everyday is a new day to begin again, until you get it.
have a really muthafuckin great day, guys. much love to you. (that's for the 2 people maybe reading this lmfao thank you for being here) 🌧🤍
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. 🤍
clarice has been a great company these days. she speaks about god thru lóri's point of view, her believes, and it sounds a lot camus' absurdism! she says 'if i wanna pray, it would be to the cosmic or to Nothing'.
rainy days and depression, love to see it. 🌧🤍
i've been away for a bit because, you know, college. and i have to read these two for classes. life's been boring lately, but i'm fine with that.
sometimes it rains and it's like nothing more exists. incredible how rain has the power to make me feel safe. 🌧🤍
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 🤍 🌧
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! 🤍🌧
i received these three clarice lispector books today! i'm so happy and ready to read her works. i already had other three.
pretty amazing, isn't it? the covers are crazy. i'm gonna start with the second one, água viva - my friend told me so.
apart from that, the days have been a little bit harder, and i can't wait for traveling. i need to get away.
but back to the books: i think i'm gonna really start a booktube. for that, i need to get over my shyness. i might not do it, i always leave projects halfway or 'noneway'.
hope everyone is having an amazing day. take care. 🤍🌧
oieee! i had to go to college to return some books because my classes are finished (thank god) and i'm officially on vacation.
i'm still reading 'a peste' by camus. it's good but i was too busy getting crazy with the finals.
next book i'm gonna read is another byung-chul han (i know, i'm a stan) - 'hiperculturalidade'.
hope everything is good with you all. 🤍🌧
i'm still on lolita, damn this book is hard to read. every page i literally have a discomfort on the way he speaks about lolita. it's so sickening! but the writing is so good, i don't even know what to say. *Fiodora thinks so too!
on the other hand i'm gonna start 'pop song' and 'a peste' today! it's gonna be i guess my forth or fifth camus. i love him sm. also, i need to finish it soon cause my uni library doesn't accept us to keep the books on vacation and semester is ending. soooo... 🤸🏻♀️
it's nice day today, very cloudy. i love it, it puts me in a great mood! 🤍🌧

Guys I need good book recs... IDK WHAT TO READ ( also good fanfic recs pls ) 🫣
Hello!
I know I have this account almost one month and forgot to introduce myself so finally here it is! ✨🌸
I'm Millie and I'm under 21 (so no 21+ things thank you 😊).
I love reading, especially (m/m, f/m) romance and fantasy, I'm also practicing art because next schoolyear I will go to a digital art school I will post some of my art here but I'm starting so it isn't that good (please if you have photoshop tips always welcome! 🌸✨)
A little more about myself I'm very introvert and I love staying home (especially in my bed). I always try to respond to everyone but sometimes I ignore all my notifications if I feel overwhelmed (don't take it personal 🫶)
I listen a lot to music (last year I had 152.148 minutes on Spotify) my favorites are Taylor Swift, Chappell Roan Gracie Abrams, Billie Eilish, Artemas, The Neighborhood, (G)I-DLE, Txt and more!
I will post books, opinions, manwha, memes, etc.
I hope you enjoy this blog! ❤😊
