Randomly saw Fear and Trembling on the shelf as I walked through the library. I picked a random page and started reading it again. Strange how it all comes back, like talking to an old friend.
I may have parasocial relationships with old German philosophers lol.

Happy Banned Books Week everyone!! If someone doesn't want you to read something, better give it a read.
What's your favorite banned book?
Right now, mine is the Bluest Eye. I ran a book club at my old library where we read it, and it has stuck with me.

So Moving to another continent and settling into grad school was a little more time consuming that I thought. Anyway, Chapter 5 for my ongoing novella is up, lets hope they keep coming.

Okay, I'm starting to post a serialized version of a novella I wrote last November on my Substack.
I should have two chapters up each month and hopefully some other stories alongside.
If you like supernatural mysteries, dark academia, and detectives barely holding it together then check it out.
