reorganizing my desk as if that’s the missing piece on getting the assignments done quicker

I am not saying here's a link to a free online version of the 1984 graphic novel but if it was there you should probably go read it.

DON'T FORGET TO SHOP LOCAL!!!!!

If you can, shop local - indie bookshops have a long history of being targeted, too!

If your local bookshop doesn't have the literature you want or doesn't feel like a good place to right now, check out these other resources:

Bookshop.org (bookseller that partners with local bookshops, meaning you buy a book online and the bookshop gets some of the profit)

Indie Bookstore Finder (Support a random bookshop! Lots of bookshops have online websites and can mail things to you, I know Powell's has free shipping over 40 dollars for the most part)

Libro.fm (audiobooks!! All the audiobooks!! and funds can go to indie bookshops of your choosing!!)

Hive (similar to bookshop.org but more UK based)

To everyone in red states where book bans are likely to take place soon, here’s some lists for you <3

oh my god library finally got a hold in that I've been waiting deadass like two months for >:)

Good I love books

I truly enjoy how much Animorphs is like “here are our young heroes, each with a distinctive trope to fill in the group!” And then it makes you watch how the pressure of each person’s role grinds them to dust. And also they have homework.

The enemies to lovers tension between "I have nothing to read" and a shelf full of unread books

[sofiaaauthor]

[spade-of-violets-and-mints]

Judy Blume? Beverly Cleary? Carolyn Keene? Ann M. Martin? Hello? These women published wildly successful children’s books and novels and some want to give JK ROWLING the credit? Shut the fuck UPPPPP.

Can’t believe Jane Austen wrote Pride and Prejudice in the 2000s

And in 2015 Emily Brontë released literary clsssic Wuthering Heights

Thank God someone paved the way for them…

Another night of reading, another inspiring dedication.
