I love you PBS I love you NPR I love you public libraries I love you wikipedia I love you project gutenberg I love you librivox I love you libby I love you hoopla I love you openlibrary I love you internet archive I love you resources that make information free and accessible to the public

been trying to get myself to read more of the 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle for about a month now but i just can’t seem to get myself to do it so i’m rerouting and gonna try reading Carrie!

It began to snow. The low clouds made a grey ceiling for the city; the snow muffled the noise of the cars until it became almost rhythmical; a steady, shushing noise, like the sound of tides beating endlessly on marble walls.

Truly miss it when people picked books based on the information, or because it captured their eye at the store, or because it was a gift. Now we see aesthetic over the top covers and limited editions for 30 - 50 euros somewhere on social media and buy it for the looks of it. We don't even read most of our books anymore. We just buy them to have them to fill a room. Breaking the spines is a crime now, too, for some reason, as if we didn't buy the book ourselves to use them and read them. Why do we treat books like they are artefacts in a museum not to be touched and to be hoarded?

"I don't have a brother, ma'am," Adam replied. But Blue saw his eyes dart to Gansey.

additional info:

-> “why wasn’t this book listed?” probably because it wasn’t black sapphic-centric, the author isn’t a black sapphic themself, or i just simply haven’t heard of it! so feel free to add on if it meets those two criteria

many of these books require trigger warnings, especially some of the older ones that are more likely to feature racial struggles of the time. please do your due diligence and search for tws if you want to read them!

please feel free to add onto this list in the rbs or comments! happy black history month

noah czerny & beth march

more than a tragedy.

we've come so far <3

forgotten by the narrative but not by me <3

Look at them 😭😭 entitled little assholes. Blue was so right. I would hate them too.

once again thinking about maggie stiefvater saying that the gangsey not remembering noah was his sacrifice, not his death. he was always willing to die for gansey but he was never willing to be forgotten by him… fuck

i’m becoming a trc account apologies i’ll be back go my infrequent posting about other books soon

rounding out the gangsey with noah and henry!!

(pynch) (bluesey)

went insane and wrote a noah czerny poem :/

thought too hard about ghosts as a metaphor for trauma. thought about noah czerny until i threw up. the result

THE GANGSEY I'M UNWELL 😭😭🤲🤲❤️❤️❤️

Since watering means giving something water but milking means extracting milk from something that must means that water's default is to give but milk's default is to take. So water must be inherently kind while milk is cruel
