I have a lot of books. A ton of ebooks but also between 1000 and 1500 physical books, and I keep adding to those because I like to support local, independent bookstores. I got to them, I buy books, journals, pens, whatever.

Well...I also like to have a glass of wine now and again, and I like to support small, family-owned wineries and wine bars. So I've joined a few wine clubs, through which I have regular pickups of wine. I've known for a while that I'm accumulating the wine much faster than I'm drinking it. I'm just not a very heavy drinker as a rule. So, when I get new wine I just stash and figure I'll get to it eventually.

I'm cleaning up today and decided to finally count the wine bottles and...I have 62 bottles of wine. I'll never drink all that. I'm compiling a list of people to give things to.

I promise I'm not a hoarder!

Besides books, what do you all, er...accumulate?

This book is pretty fantastic right now. I do feel like I maybe should’ve read Jane Eyre before reading this one because of it being a retelling. This story is appropriately spooky and gothic. And is definitely going to push me to start Jane Eyre to be able to get the full affect.

really nice so far, it's short and intriguing, i'm like on pg 2 😭 i've never read any published* book with a nonbinary/gender neutral character as one of the main characters 🥹 also bonus points for birdies i love finding out abt wildlife, who knew hoopoe was a bird? it looks like a lil zebra peacock woodpecker
