You know you’re a book nerd when:

You’re disgusted at yourself for buying book paraphernalia rather than, you know, actual BOOKS.

Sticky wipplesnit a recolour no more!!

I decided to redesign sticky shes a reserved bookworm who’s always overthinking, except on the racetrack and while she’d rather curl up at home with a good book she still loves the feeling of racing

But….it is a good thing?

The book is very beautiful.I took the part I liked in the book and shared it.

Sometimes I google what it feels like to be stabbed so that I can understand the pain of the charecter and feel more connected with the book while reading it.

Reading this one because of someone. I’m really enjoying the book. I haven’t seen the movie yet but I plan to after I finish the book.

Thanks @strawberry-milk-angel for helping me pick this book.

Reading the last 100 pages of the book Ready Player One is the most fulfilled moment I’ve had since March when I finished seeing The Office, and that’s the tea.

I just want to read and completely forget the world and my life and travel to a new one. I just want to read a book that is so well written that I can’t come out of my trance. It is the best feeling in the world.

Back home, Connell’s shyness never seemed like much of an obstacle to his social life, because everyone knew who he was already, and there was never any need to introduce himself or create impressions about his personality. If anything, his personality seemed like something external to himself, managed by the opinions of others, rather than anything he individually did or produced. Now he has a sense of invisibility, nothingness, with no reputation to recommend him to anyone.

Everyone has to make choices. Sometimes there’re only bad choices, all of them, each way you look it’s a sea of bad choices, and we just have to pick one, the best one, or maybe just any one.

There is something so comforting about sitting at libraries late at night with a candle, while you gulp the pages of a book with a hungry fervour. You are so lost in a different world, for a while nothing matters except for the pains of your character and you don't even realise it's dawn. You haven't moved an inch, your back aches, your eyelids are drooping, but you feel this contentment in your chest, and god I would give anything to bring that feeling back.

september 7th: currently reading!

first, i’m reading Of Mice and Men for my english class ! we’re reading very slowly and we’re only on chapter 2 but it’s interesting so far. and i’m also reading The Perfectionists for myself! i’m really enjoying it !! it’s a lil cheesy (like PLL, which i watched all of) but very fun. it’s an easy read, but the writing is pretty good (imo). i’m probably going to finish it today - i ordered the sequel, which i think arrived in the mail, so, exciting! :)

i managed to finish ALL of my work yesterday and i’m so fucking happy 🥰🥰 of course, i could be studying, buuuut i chose to take a break today.

Kind of in the mood today to write a screenplay for IWWV movie, having never written one before. On va voire. 

guys something amazing happened - I actually picked up one of the books that I'd bought within the last two years and decided to read it, and it was very good! I suggest everyone gives it a try!

With that being said, if anyone had read The Knife of Never Letting Go and is dying just as much as me, know you are not alone in your pain. My Indigo order just came in with the second and third book, so you’ll be hearing more from me soon.

Sunja stared at him. In the moments before her death, her mother had said that this man had ruined her life, but had he? He had given her Noa; unless she had been pregnant, she wouldn't have married Isak, and without Isak, she wouldn't have had Mozasu and now her grandson Salomon. She didn't want to hate him anymore. What did Joseph say to his brothers who had sold him into slavery when he saw them again? "You Intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives". This was something Isak had taught her when she'd asked him about the evil of this world.
