“ Starling House was no longer just a house. What had begun as stone and mortar had become something more, with ribs for rafters and stone for skin. It has no heart, but it feels; it has no brain, but it dreams. ”
— Starling House by Alix E. Harrow
Do not be so open-minded that your brains fall out.
- Gilbert K. Chesterton

battyaboutbooksreviewsRebloggedthrough-scattered-pagesFollowWent back to a classic reading mood this pst week 🙂↕️ confession time, I havent read classics in so long since leaving school 🫠 until I went deep in booktok tryna prepare me for Katabasis release (LOL) but I am pleasantly surprise at how much I adORE the feels and writings of the texts 🫶💛 Finished The Picture of Dorian Gray and the twists I went on with this book!! Picked it up because apparently I am Not Jessica Chen is somewhat inspired by this and ohhh boy I’m glad I picked it upp 🔥🔥💛 Yellowface!!! My second RF Kuang book I am OBSESSED 🥹 Finished my first rfk book Babel last week and jumped straight to this one cuz I can’t get enoughh of her writing style. And I didn’t realise how much I enjoy reading history/politic/racial fic until her. Definitely venturing more on those (and Poppy War is already sitting there on my shelf waiting 😂)🩷And mandatory close of the week, a walk on the beach and brunchie with my housemate 🤭 Hope you had a beautiful week too. 💬 Currently listening to Powerless on audiobook. What are you reading?#books#books and cats#cats#classics#classic books

battyaboutbooksreviewsReblogged ofliterarynaturephantomtomesFollow🍂 *gets new notebook, immediately has a lil photoshoot with it* 🍂 I’m excited to start writing again in this little thing! I don’t know if I’ll ever share any of what gets written, but it feels good to have this physical space. I’m also keeping track of book thoughts and record reviews, plus pasting in a bit of every day life. It’s going to be a great little piece of me. 🖤#books#books and coffee#journal
