Current re-obsession.

I love going back to a story and rereading it years after. You get to visit old friends. You don’t learn anything new, but you may notice a difference in understanding why a character did what they did or have a different opinion of it now that you’re in a different chapter in your own life.

Elizabeth Bennet will always hold a special place in my heart.

Fitzwilliam Darcy is still setting the bar at an unattainable level for all men, fictional & real.

“I want someone to tell me what to wear in the morning. I want someone to tell me what to wear EVERY morning. I want someone to tell me what to eat. What to like, what to hate, what to rage about, what to listen to, what band to like, what to buy tickets for, what to joke about, what not to joke about. I want someone to tell me what to believe in, who to vote for, who to love and how to tell them.

"I just think I want someone to tell me how to live my life, Father, because so far I think I’ve been getting it wrong — and I know that’s why people want people like you in their lives, because you just tell them how to do it. You just tell them what to do and what they’ll get out at the end of it, and even though I don’t believe your bullshit, and I know that scientifically nothing I do makes any difference in the end anyway, I’m still scared. Why am I still scared? So just tell me what to do. Just fucking tell me what to do, Father”

My goal lately has been to have a more well rounded bookshelf, not literally cuz that would be chaos.
I set out to read at least 3 books per month, I’m happy with my choices this month. Below you’ll find a review of each, for my friends that appreciate the written word.

🇵🇰 Exit West- Mohsin Hamid- For the first book of the year, I felt like my bookshelf needed some family representation. The author lives in Lahore, Pakistan and has a few best-selling novels. Great book about the refugee experience with a twist. You know a book is good when you start as strangers and think of the characters as friends at last page. Saeed and Nadia will always be on my mind when I think of the refugee crisis going on across the world.
☕☕☕☕.5 I give it 4.5 of 5 Coffees. (Coffee seemed like the most appropriate rating system for me.)
🇺🇸 Annihilation- Jeff Vandermeer- Back in America, well, its Florida, I don’t know about you, but Flordians are there own kind of Merican. This Sci-fi novel is 1st of the trilogy. I appreciate the author’s descriptive writing style. Makes you feel like you’re in the tower seeing the crawler along with the characters. I liked this one, but I’m not speeding to the bookshop to get the 2nd one, I’ll pick it up while I’m out on a Target run. If that tells you anything. ☕☕☕.5 /5
🇬🇧 The Book of General Ignorance- John Lloyd and John Hitchinson. This one is for Trivia Nerds! If you wanna know what kinda of music charms a snake most, or what Darwin did to dead animals, then this is the book for you. The authors correct a lot of wives tails and dogma with short, informative explanations. I’m definitely buying the 2nd book. ☕☕☕☕

Don’t play hard to get.

Be hard to earn.

Does anyone else get so overwhelmed by goals or things they want to accomplish that they almost give up all together?
