The girl turned to find that the cat had lifted its head, its eyes wide open. Its golden pupils had dilated as if to say: That’s the one.

I always get the ick when people write cats (or animals in general) with it/its pronouns. I can find a couple of excuses here, but it still annoys me.

What's your weird/unhinge reading or bookish habits?

let me just preface that most of my friends' first impression of me are weird and a quiet one. They're wrong on the latter of course cause I was almost always reading when they'll first see me. Anyway, my weird bookish habit is when I take a break from reading a book, I'll read a book. That mostly will be reading children or novella like Roald Dahl's or RL Stine's Goosebumps books. When I'm really reading, I read up to 4 books simultaneously cause I take a break in between those books haha. And the break I mentioned is when I want to take a break from my 4 current reads

helloooo beautiful peeps Ramadan Mubarak for all the muslim girlies here btw. I actually wanted to ask and talk I guess about something I'm noticing with fantasy. I have a couple of ARCS that I asked for because they were tagged as fantasy and the premise sounded interesting. I'm reading them and while I can see glimpses of fantasy ALL of them feel more like historical fiction, which I don't hate but I am not the biggest fan. I also just feel like most fantasy doesn't feel fantastical anymore, like you could remove the "fantasy elements" and the story would work just the same. Do you feel this way? Do you have book recs with fantasy that FEELS like fantasy?

THANK GOSH ITS FRIDAY! Who is the one fictional character you would grab a beer (okay or wine or mocktail or a BEVERAGE) with?!💭✨

I can't be the only one who needs a little more whimsy in their life! What are your whimsical or romanticization bookish habits (or ones you want to implement)?

Do you match bookmarks to the vibe, make a reading nest, reserve books for certain seasons/weather, light special reading candles?

Drown me in your whimsical ideas so I can steal them for this suddenly very cold and dreary weekend!! 🥶🥶
