When your library stack is as big as your foot. Really looking forward to diving into Fever Dream!

Queen Milly‘s favorite book this year was Sorcerer to the Crown. I liked it too.

"We are all mediums for our own basic truths. All we really have in life is the primal force that moves us through our days—our unvarnished, untutored, ever-present, inborn agency. Life force is the holy ghost in each of us."
Great psychological thriller from my book club crew.

High school teens. Scary monsters. An off-world adventure. The Woods is 💯.

The Last Unicorn: So beautiful and full of that fairy-tale magic, it practically burns.

"It seemed to me that the baker had an honest response to the painting. Van Ruijven tried too hard when he looked at paintings, with his honeyed words and studied expressions. He was too aware of having an audience to perform for, whereas the baker merely said what he thought."
Loved reading this one during my trip to Amsterdam.

My favorite short story collection of the year? Also this year‘s Man Booker winner: Lincoln in the Bardo

“You think—you really think—that it is one or the other: your faith or your reason?”
“Not only my reason ... but my liberty.”
Y‘all this book is SO GOOD.

Dataclysm really made me think: What do our online identities say about us?
Got four books from the library and am having a hard time picking which one to read next.
Milly approves of Trevor Noah's beautiful voice and beautiful prose.
"Those who feel inspired, as I do, by the greatness of small things will pursue them to the very heart of the inessential where, cloaked in everyday attire, this greatness will emerge from within a certain ordering of ordinary things and from the certainty that *all is as it should be*, the conviction that *it is fine this way.*"
when it's a rainy day so you lie on the couch under a red blanket and read a vampy book
“You can abolish the reproductive rights women gained in 1973, with Roe v. Wade, when the Supreme Court legalized abortion – or rather ruled that women had a right to privacy over their own bodies that precluded the banning of abortion. But you can‘t so easily abolish the idea that women have certain inalienable rights.” // Grateful for all the men in my life who get it.
This book is SO GOOD. It's like going with your best girlfriend for a nice espresso and a donut and not giving a fuck about carbs.
Terrifying and beautiful. One man's search for his dissident father who was silenced and imprisoned during Qaddafi's regime should serve as a lesson to us all.
Today's post-march plans tbh ❤️📚👓#tbr #bookstack
Making my way through Watership Down for the first time as an adult with pet rabbits #love
Lots of fucked up things happen to Minnie, and yet she is so full of agency and will and emotion. What a ride.
"Enough with the life-is-short-and-painful-and-you-die-alone bullshit. What a fucking scam that is, you never have to take any risks."
Sweetbitter is a heartbreak between two covers, something rich and divine and life-affirming.
Is there anyone better at the plot twist than Christie? Probably not. Her books are always so carefully plotted and fun to read. Surprisingly lighthearted; no serious stuff here.
WYGB is a great book. Playful with form, ingeniously written and plotted, insightful and funny and at times heart-wrenching, but Semple never misses a beat.
When you tryna read Infinite Jest and the companion book is an inch-plus thick 😭😭
Be there when the lights go out. 900+ pages but so, so worth it. GRH is brilliant.
