    So cute and wholesome! I wish we got more of the two of them. But sometimes it’s nice to read something short and sweet 💜

  • A question abt bookmarks

    …what do u guys do with ur bookmarks while reading? Do u hold them? Stick them in a random page? Sit them down somewhere near u? I feel so awkward when I go to read a book but don’t know what to do with my bookmark… I usually just leave it at the page I’m starting off with then move it when I’m done.

    ”If you have no intention of loving or being loved, then the whole journey is pointless.”

    GOD I love this book. It should be a requirement in every school. I cry every ten pages and it’s always worth it.

  • First Book You DNF’d?

    What was the first book you ever DNF’d and do you still DNF today?

    My first DNF was book 3 of the Red Queen series. Book one had a lot of promise, but the rest of the series got worse and worse. I would force myself to finish books I didn’t like before picking up a new one, and it often led me to reading slumps 😩

    And then, suddenly, I had this epiphany! Why would I force myself to do something I didn’t want to do, therefore ruining what should be a fun and enjoyable hobby? AND why should I waste time reading a book I don’t like when I have a massive and ever-growing TBR of books I do want to read? As they say, so many books, so little time. The idea that I will die one day with books on my TBR, but that I could have read MORE of those books had I spent time on the ones I liked rather than those I hated opened my eyes to the joys of DNFing! So I do still DNF proudly to this day 😌

  • 🍅

    I’ve seen peoples bios mention pro-tomato, I’ve seen people comment 🍅 and speak of the tomato-agenda…

    I’m so out of the loop: What’s up with tomatoes? And what are your arguments pro-tomato or anti-tomato?

    Edit:

    Thank you so much to everyone pointing me to the tomato-war, and everyone arguing for their anti/pro side- it’s given me the context I need to pick a side.

    Forever Pro-tomato 🍅. I like eating them all fresh and juicy like they were apples, sucking out their slimy seeds, slicing them up (👀) for my salad (or just to eat in smaller chunks), popping cherry tomato’s like grapes into my mouth- I even like cooking them.
