Re-reading Fahrenheit 451 (because *gestures vaguely at surroundings*), and realizing that Bradbury may have predicted brainrot 😅

"Whirl man's mind around about so fast...that the centrifuge flings off all unnecessary, time-wasting thought!"
Text: "Speed up the film, Montag, quick. Click, Pic, Look, Eye, Now, Flick, Here, There, Swift, Pace, Up, Down, In, Out, Why, How, Who, What, Where, Eh? Uh! Bang! Smack! Wallop, Bing, Bong, Boom! Digest-digests, digest-digest-digests. Politics? One column, two sentences, a headline! Then, in mid-air, all vanishes! Whirl man's mind around about so fast under the pumping hands of publishers, exploiters, broadcasters that the centrifuge flings off all unnecessary, time-wasting thought!"

🎈📚em's november wrap-up 📚🎈

(aka Birthday Month Wrap-Up!)
Purple to light pink gradient background with clipart of torn pages, red, blue and purple balloons and a sparkler. Cover of “A Haunted Road Atlas: Next Stop” and four purple stars below it. Text: Nov Reads. I listened to the audiobook version for this one, and I think it's honestly the best way to read it because you get Em and Christine’s voices. Purple to light pink gradient background with clipart of torn pages, red, blue and purple balloons and a sparkler. Cover of “A Dark and Drowning Tide” and four and a half purple stars below it. Text: Nov Reads. A Dark and Drowning Tide is a wonderful moody fantasy book, perfect for wrapping up my fall reading. Purple to light pink gradient background with clipart of torn pages, red, blue and purple balloons and a sparkler. Cover of “The Once and Future Witches” and five purple stars below it. Text: Nov Reads. This story of suffragist witches fighting against a puritan patriarchy came to me at a time when I really needed it. Purple to light pink gradient background with clipart of torn pages, red, blue and purple balloons, a sparkler, and a cake with candles and purple icing. Covers of “Truth: A Brief History of Total Bullsh*t” and “An Enchantment of Ravens”. Text: Nov Reads. Just Finished. Currently Reading.
