Sometimes, an animal companion can turn an unremarkable book or movie into something more memorable. 🐾✨

People need art. This IS valuable. If my whole feed was about current events and had nothing about art or books that would be super depressing and unhealthy...

As a writer, if I finish reading a bad book I can learn from someone else's mistakes.

As a reader, it has to be really horrible for me to not care to know the ending. 🤷‍♀️
