Books that centre grief, funerals, deathcare, or embalming.

books i think kamala khan // aka ms marvel from marvel comics // would hug tight after finishing and post about on tumblr.

books i think jason todd // aka redhood from dc comics // would read with his head ducked down in a library.

books i think dick grayson // aka nightwing from dc comics // would read curled up ontop of a chandelier.

these are the kind of books that just feel like spring to me: cozy, soft, a little emotional, and perfect to read when everything is starting to bloom again

some of them just give me the vibe, others I just know hit different during this season

Here I will be collecting fiction books written by Central Asian (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan) authors that were published in English—either originally written or translated into English.

Books I need to read on my bookshelf

"By the breath of Set, what sorcery is this?! These scribes of the far north and the distant west have imagined worlds that almost - almost - match the splendor of my own court. They speak of dragons? I have hunted lions in the heat of the Retjenu! They speak of rings of power? I wear the crown of the Two Lands, which binds the world from the Delta to the cataracts of Kush! ​Still... there is a certain charm to these 'high fantasies' that I can not deny."

​"Do not just stand there trembling in awe! Fetch me a lamp of the finest oil and a cushion of silk. I have three thousand years of history to catch up on before sunrise, and I will not be disturbed unless the Hittites have found a way to bridge the sea!"

surrender; meaning is felt before it’s understood
