So I've taken a very long break from tumblr and this blog specifically. My bio still showed I was 24. I just turned 27. Wow. Curious how many of you are still active. Life happened, but I'm trying to dedicate more time to reading again. If anybody is still out there, let me get some recommendations. Lol
December reading

Book borrowing is the biggest form of true love it’s like, “here’s a piece of my soul that I think you would enjoy"

enough about sex positions has anyone discovered a reading position which doesn’t get uncomfortable after 5 minutes
Lazy Monday afternoon
Nothing could have prepared me for this movie.
It’s not “uncool” to be smart and prepared and passionate and dedicated. Ignore people who say otherwise.
Coraline is a masterfully made film, an amazing piece of art that i would never ever ever show to a child oh my god are you kidding me
Nothing wrong with a good dose of sheer terror at a young age
“It was a story, I learned when people began to read it, that children experienced as an adventure, but which gave adults nightmares. It’s the strangest book I’ve written”
-Neil Gaiman on Coraline
This is a legit psychology phenomenon tho like there’s a stop motion version of Alice and Wonderland that adults find viscerally horrifying, but children think is nbd. It’s like in that ‘toy story’ period of development kids are all kind of high key convinced that their stuffed animals lead secret lives when they’re not looking and that they’re sleeping on top of a child-eating monster every night so they see a movie like Coraline and are just like “Ah, yes. A validation of my normal everyday worldview. Same thing happened to me last Tuesday night. I told mommy and she just smiled and nodded.”
