TBR: 3, 313, and 626, please!

A Little Devil in America by Hanif Abdurraqib - This came into work and I thought it looked interesting.

The Forever War by Joe Haldeman - A sci-fi classic that has been on my TBR forever and promises me time-wimey-ness. I think either a coworker recced it to me or I saw their review in the store.

Afropean by Johny Pitts - This one I think came from Booktube? Someone was listing non-fiction on the subject of BLM and I went, "yes, that is something I know nothing about! How cool!"

Thanks for asking!

Ask me things!

Exclusive Interview: John Waters revisits Cry-Baby for its 4K restoration "I knew about juvenile delinquents because I always wanted to be one"

From reviled underground filmmaker to widely revered, self-proclaimed “filth elder”, John Waters was honoured for his six-decade career with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame last year just as a major exhibition and retrospective screening series, John Waters: Pope Of Trash, opened at the prestigious Academy Museum in Los Angeles. The latest title from his subversive, colourful and distinctly…

“She’s mine!”

“Tell me why,” Harry exclaimed from the bathroom, his voice drifting into the paired bedroom. “we always hang at my room?”

Y/n looked towards the door, abandoning the page of her book she was reading. “Because your bed is comfortable! And smells like you.” She mumbled the last part, but knew he could hear it.

She knew because of the giggle that erupted from the other room.

Harry spit out his toothpaste and walked out to greet his partner. He looked over to their white duvet, where she was snuggled under in his t-shirt. Although she didn’t think the same, Harry believed that his things was as much hers as it was his.

“We’ll don’t you smell good now!” She smiled, brushing her brunette hair out of her face.

“Do you not like my after-show smell?” He smiled, walking towards her.

“Sweaty teenage boy? Pass, respectfully.”

Harry flopped onto the bed which a humph, flickering his eyes to meet hers. “I think that smell makes me feel quite manly.” He shrugged his shoulders and moved to his hands and knees. “The shower washes that away.”

Y/n giggled at him, opening her arms to welcome any cuddles he wanted. “I think the soap smell mixed with your cologne is pretty sexy.”

Harry’s eyebrows rose, and a shit-eating grin enveloped his features. “Really? On a scale of sexy, what are we talking? Like Johny Depp sexy or Brad Pitt sexy?” He asked, crawling over her.

A laugh bellowed from her throat, arms hooking around his neck. He was such a goof, it amazed her. “Ryan Reynolds sexy.”

Harry’s jaw dropped, eyes going large like he saw the lord himself. “Really? Are you joshing me?” He waited for a response and when he didn’t get he attacked her with kisses. “I can’t believe you called me a god!”

“Don’t let that go to your head though, boy.” She said, playfully slapping his cheek. She craned her neck to kiss him, relishing in his presence.

“Yes, my queen.” He smiled.

“Oh my god!” She shouted, pointing behind Harry’s head.

“What?” He squeaked, head whipping over his shoulder. “The cat?” He asked.

Harry’s cat, Midnight, wasn’t seen very often. He was a cat who hated being interrupted in his own element. The night the band had filmed the video for Midnight Memories, they wandered into the pet store on their break.

Niall bought the first cat he saw, which was a little kitten who was all black except for a patch of white fur in the shape of a heart on his head. He bought the kitten and decided it was the perfect gift for Harry’s birthday.

Harry has brought that cat everywhere.

“Fur baby!” She beamed, pushing Harry away from her.

Face down into the comforter, Harry grumbled out a response of how much he wanted her to stay in bed.

“Midnight stealing my woman. She’s mine goddamnit!”

“Midnight is gonna be my lap cat, watch!” She swore, running over towards the ‘Kitty baby’.

For the book asks: 18, 11 👀

18. Do you like historical books? which time period? Oh, I like them but I enjoy them more when I know that they are accurate to a certain extent. Not that I think historical fiction has to be educational but I just like it more when I also learn something about a time period I wasn't familiar with before. I am not really picky about time periods but I have also had enough of medieval/renaissance europe now. The last historical fiction book that I read was "The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet" by David Mitchell. It takes place on the island of Dejima in Japan and centers around a clerk of the Dutch East India Company. I don't know if it's a good book for people who are not used to the very specific type of book that David Mitchell writes but I loved it! 11. What non-fiction books do you like if any? I already answered it here but some of the non-fiction books I enjoyed most recently are (in no particular order):

Afropea: Notes from Black Europe by Johny Pitts

Entangled Life: How fungi make our worlds, change our minds and shape our futures by Merlin Sheldrake

Transformation of the World: A Global History of the Nineteenth Century by Jürgen Osterhammel

Atlas of AI: Power, Politics, and the Planetary Costs of Artificial Intelligence by Kate Crawford

Other Minds: The Octopus, the Sea, and the Deep Origins of Consciousness by Peter Godfrey Smith

Gangsters of Capitalism: Smedley Butler, the Marines, and the Making and Breaking of America's Empire by Jonathan M. Katz
