    everyone in this book is annoying and pathetic and they’re not even pathetic in an endearing wet cat way they’re just rich and horrible. AND YET. it compels me.

    If your mind is clear, if you can bury the doubts, if you can picture it—the point, the game, the set, the match—you can get there.

    yep, motivational quote 🫡 i have no idea why i was so convinced this book was about wimbledon (i'm ready for grass season lol)

    edit typo

    Omg I enjoy this so much! I love tennis and when I was younger I watched all of it! I mean u know Nadal … do I have to say more? I don’t think so.

    So it feels like coming home and tomorrow I watch the final of the French open because the book inspired me to come back to tennis and as in my typical way of choosing my favourite: 1. be from Spain if not 2. I pick the hotter one and if that’s hard 3. I am agains Zverev (even though I am German) and Djokovic. (Is it s hot take? If you are into tennis, how do u pick?)

  • books with zero romance

    i don't read romance of any kind. i'm not going to explain why, but i just don't! i'm slowly but surely losing my love for reading because anything that sounds remotely interesting to me has a romance plot (or is extremely sex focused). i read a lot of middle grade to get away from this but i'd like to be able to read across age genres. i love horror, magical realism and weird fiction in general but i'm open to anything.

    i'd really appreciate any and all recommendations, thank you

    "it goes without saying, we have no intention of writing the history of waterloo in these pages" ok so that was a lie. ITS BEEN 20 PAGES AND WE'RE STILL TALKING ABOUT WATERLOO.

  • What does your username mean?

    I just had the insanely jarring realization that honeymoons are a thing and I completely forgot about them when I set my username. I’ve always used “ golden moon” something as gaming usernames and just thought honey moon was a cute variation 🫠

    This made me start wondering if I was similarly misreading anyone else’s usernames and what some of them meant. So while I think of a new username, I wanted to ask everyone what’s the story behind your username? 👀

    Edit: The rebrand has been done 😌
