I just sat down on my bed, getting ready to sleep, and my cat decided she needs love and attention right now to be happy. she is so baby lately and always wants to sit by my hip where I can give her scratches but I am a belly sleeper and I really can’t fall asleep on my back. The sheer tragedy.

Please I’ll be your tell me about your book bf: please tell me about your most recent book you’ve read?

I’ll sit at your feet and bestow a cup of hot chocolate to you while you tell me about it? I enjoy talking about books

😭😭 would you like to marry me?

I wish I had a really good answer to this but the most recent book I read was a sapphic romance novel that my friend and I read together, it was okay but nothing to gush about?

The most recent book that got me this year was A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness, it had me sobbing like a baby, I know I am late to that particular party though haha. My favorite book of the year was Small things like these by Claire Keegan, it's set in 80s Ireland and the writing is extraordinarily beautiful! Very understated but powerful.

Otherwise I'm currently reading a Rilke poetry collection and the next novel I want to start (at last) is Intermezzo! What are YOU reading? Which books made your year?

tywin and stannis being treated like the masculine ideal of stoicism in certain parts of fandom and official creators re. "lion does not concern himself with opinions of sheep" when tywin's entire deal is desperate and pathetic grasp at image and legacy and ultimately failing so bad he shitted himself to death and stannis spends id say 90% of the books bitching about how people dont like him
