#Justing Backman

Airlines are 3 trillion in debt. The Monetary Sovereignty of airline loyalty programs.

Frightening headline? It shouldn’t be. Here’s a bit of context: Airlines don’t disclose how many miles are outstanding or the value used to calculate these liabilities. However, if we assume a valuation of 1 cent per outstanding mile, loyalty program members would have around 3 trillion outstanding miles. Some economists, politicians, and media talking heads might tell you it means the airlines…

I need to consume every single fredrik backman book right now. and by consume I mean both read and tear them to shreds and digest each and every page in a psychotic fury

It's weird isn't it?

We cry for things totally out of our control

Like watching our favorite team lose

Just because we thought that maybe, just maybe they would provide you with some blissful moments that your otherwise mundane life fails to provide. For once, something good would happen to your otherwise sinking boat.

Some moments

But as Fredrik Backman says, "But what the hell is life, Peter, apart from moments?"

not me actually tearing up reading fredrick backman's IG post because of this specific line

mclaren fans can we stop fighting 😭 like i get super passionate about my favorite drivers and team and sport (clearly… check out the blog lol) but i’ve been reading some of the things people are still writing about the 2024 monza grand prix slandering either oscar or lando or even just. way overthinking the whole ordeal. and i just really could not care less! please calm down and reblog some pretty gifsets and new pictures instead! if i never see another dramatic thinkpiece it will still be too soon!

[bookishjules]

feeling in need of a new fredrik backman novel

[jeanmoreaux]

rereading beartown and us against you so i can finally read the winners, and i swear to god i’ll throw fists if i have to go through the emotional pain of these first two books again just to have the third one break me and not give my fav character a happy ending.

Dads are dads and daughters are daughters, and not even psychologists can quite come to terms with that.

glad everyone else in the beartown tag feels as normal as i do about benjamin ovich

while taking an emotional break from My Grandmother Asked Me To Tell You She's Sorry (Fredrik Backman), i decided it'd be a good idea to read The House In The Cerulean Sea (TJ Klune).

i cannot say whether or not it was a good or bad idea because i ended up finishing it in less than 24 hours (thank god for audiobooks), it left me in a "found family overthrows the government" flavor of emotional rather than an "omg fredrik backman has seen into my life and knows more than me about my own soul" emotional flavor, and i still have four and a half hours left of mgamttss to listen to when i can't stop sobbing unconsolably at the end of every chapter.

like i said. its good. its bad. either way, i'm a puddle of emotions and i still have four and a half hours left of mgamttss and the sequel for thitcs doesn't come out until september i rEQUIRE MORE CONTENT TO FEAST UPON

i think it's a good thing, then, that i bought all of fredrik backman's books AND all of tj klune's books

Still thinking about how Backman nearly called The Winners "Those Who Run Towards Fire" but changed it because I just gotta say I'd be sending that man my therapy bills if he'd stuck with it.

“Shall I teach you a trick? The way we’re lying now, I used to lie like this when I was little. I used to climb in through that window the night before I was going to play a game, but you mustn’t tell the caretaker!” Alicia nods and promises. “Then what?” she wonders. “Then I would lie here and look up at the roof and think, ‘Now I’m alone in the world.’ I sort of memorized the silence. Because I’ve never been scared when I’m alone, only among other people.” “Me too.” Benji hates the fact that the child knows exactly how that feels. She’s too young for that. But he tells it like it is: “No one can hurt you when you’re alone.”
