26. Australia. I like intelligently written horror, my scifi hard and my books gothicc. I ping pong between non fiction, horror and classics. Love me some psychosexual weird girl lit. 🕷🍭🌑

    I haven't realised how much scifi potential there is in the Noah's ark story. Like, taking all the present DNA of all the cute little critters and plants and then letting all the undesirables die... You can really see how the techno bros would go crazy with the idea

    re-reading the bible front-to-back this year bc my parents gave me a bible study guide for christmas 😂. listen. idc what anyone says. by chapter 8 we already have the world being created, an evil snake, man being booted out of paradise over a fruit, curses, a murder, angels and humans fking and creating giants, annnnd a flood that wipes out the entire planet that was just created like 3 pages prior, minus one dude and his huge boat of animals bc obviously the story can't just end there lol. wild. i forgot how FAST everything just.... happens. kind of hilarious. i'm probably the only sceptic in the world obsessed with the damn bible but i'll die on the hill that everyone should read this the same way they'd read greek or egyptian mythology and just enjoy the ride.

    Julia Armfield proves to be my favourite writer, I’m only at the beginning and I’m so hooked (no ocean pun intended). Makes me think of Annihilation a little bit so far but make it lesbian and from an outside POV.

    Creative things to do with a damaged book

    Hello everyone! I ordered a copy of a collection of Oscar Wilde's plays and it arrived damaged. The store I ordered it from is sending me a new copy and they don't want my old copy back. I know Pagebound is full of creative people so I thought of coming to the Club to ask for ideas: do you guys know or any creative things I could do with the damaged copy? Quite a few of the pages are intact but it's damaged enough where I can't donate it to the library or anything. I'll be looking for ideas online as well but I'd love to hear from those of you who may have done art projects with books before!

    ETA a bit more detail about the type of damage: some of the pages are torn but most of them are ok. It's a paperback and the cover is ok, the back cover has a few small tears.

    What a wonderful little book. A must read for everyone, I think. Not just for those with chronic illnesses. Beautiful writing, and such appreciation for the little gastropods that are the stars of the show. Makes me miss keeping giant African land snails.
