There, I fixed it.

But true though…

A tweet that says “ I need to find something fun to order online to ensure my will to live lasts at least 5-7 more business days” with “something fun to order online” marked out and “a book to buy” written above it.

Time for a history lesson! We’re here, we’ve been here, and we’re not going anywhere. The idea that trans and nonbinary identities are new is laughable. Let’s combat that nonsense with some FACTS. 👏👏👏

the last book i finished was The Mimicking of Known Successes by Malka Older. it’s a sapphic sci-fi murder mystery - aka everything i’ve ever wanted. i’m trying to be stingy with stars this year, but this one’s going to end up 5/5 for sure. ⭐️

Ozymandias
Ozymandias I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed: And on the pedestal these words appear: ‘My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!’ Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

A Psalm for the Wild-Built is a cozy sci-fi about a tea monk (Dex) and a robot (Mosscap) in a wonderful world that gives me hope for the future.

A Psalm for the Wild Built by Becky Chambers sits on a wooden surface. Leaves stretch over it. There are crystals near the top left and candles near the top right.

It’s a bit sappy but I love that I never get tired of reading. Like there’s always something new to discover in books. Reading Rainbow and Wishbone were so right!

so far No Name in the Street is the kind of book where i want to highlight every page.
An e-reader displaying a page from No Name in the Street by James Baldwin. The highlighted quote reads “I thought of German Jews sitting around debating whether or not Hitler was a threat to their lives until the debate was summarily resolved for them by a knocking at the door.”

reuploading my january stats from @thestorygraph.com because i forgot to include my last book for the month. check it out! 📚✨💕
I read 7 books, 1968 pages, and my average rating was 4.33. Top rated books were The Hollow, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, and Cards on the Table. Average book length was 279 pages. Average time to finish was 6 days. The graph at the bottom is pages read by day, but honestly I haven’t even looked at it. I read 86% fiction, 14% nonfiction. 71% of books were <300 pages, 29% were 300-499. I read 57% print, 29% audio, and 14% digital. 5 books were crime/mystery/classics and 1 was essay/memoir. I don’t thin it included A Psalm for the Wild Built…

Dr James Sheppard’s friend Roger Ackroyd is murdered. Luckily, he lives next door to Hercule Poirot! The retired detective can’t help but get involved in the investigation. Growing his vegetable marrows will have to wait…

A collage based on The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, including: -the cover of the audiobook -vegetable marrows -a sketch of a blue envelope -a feather quill -a stethoscope -kraft paper with a sketch of an anthropomorphic book gasping -a photo of a page of the book with the quote “The truth, however ugly in itself, is always curious and beautiful to the seller after it.” -five stars
