perfection 🤌
the way you just defined me so fast
oh! 😭
I feel so called out 😭😭😭 like wym i’ve read 4/5 of these books 😭😭😭
you!!! you get it!! (what's the one you're missing?)
The Archive Undying (should i read it? 🫣)
perringOP
I haven't read it but its definitely on my tbr. It was pitched to me as pacific rim fanfic with a twink for an mc 😆
I loved it! But it's at a level of complicated rivalling gideon the ninth, just a warning
I fear my overlap percentage has called me out
Oh.....😬😂 Excuse me, I'll just, uh...scooch over here 🪑. Hi, I'm Uzi. I'm a recovering ex-2010's tumblr girlie 🫣
Oop! I've been found out :0
Omg called out 😂😂😂
I’m shocked that no one has complimented each others shoelaces yet. Maybe it was a phase after all
Well the thing is that line came from a time long long ago and nobody really wants shoelaces from this president...
oof I feel so seen.
Best list name in PB 👑
I would recc anything by Alexandra Rowland but especially Running Close to the Wind for this list hehe
noted!! ill check it out!
I've never had a tumblr but I have 71% overlap with this list, what does that mean
(I think it just means that many of my friends and people who have parasocially influenced my reading tastes were/are on tumblr)
perringOP
it would be funny if you did a little survey of your friend groups and there's a 71% overlap of them being on tumblr
Highly recommend The Good Vampire's Guide to Blood and Boyfriends by Jamie D'Amato for this list/lovers of this list. I always love when I am reading and immediately feel the author and I may have been mutuals at some point.
