I’m a pretty strict book rater, so I don‘t have a ton of five star books but I’m going to list a few of my favorites in a variety of genres in case you haven‘t read them yet:
Bluebeard by Kurt Vonnegut - This is one of those books that if I could read any book for the first time again, it would be this one.
In Cold Blood by Truman Capote - This one is true crime and it kind of broke my heart but that’s also how you know the writer did a good job sometimes, especially with non-fiction.
Crush by Richard Siken - This one is one of my favorite poetry collections. I also love the collected poems of T.S. Eliot for poetry.
Gang Leader for a Day by Sudhir Venkatesh - The story of a young sociologist studying a Chicago gang from the inside. Super unique read.
A Study in Scarlet by Arthur Conan Doyle - If you haven’t already read it, it’s such a good read. I know Sherlock Holmes is something that’s been re-adapted so many times in media but the actual books are so well-written, fun, witty.
And if you read one of these you totally have to come back and let me know what you thought!

I answered someone’s ask with my favorite books but thought I would make a post with them, too. I’m a pretty strict book rater, so I don’t have a ton of five star books but I’m going to list a few of my favorites in a variety of genres in case you haven‘t read them yet. I’m going to link a couple that I especially loved:
Bluebeard by Kurt Vonnegut - This is one of those books that if I could read any book for the first time again, it would be this one.
We Are All the Same in the Dark by Julia Heaberlin - Such an amazing book, mystery/thriller/contemporary suspense.
In Cold Blood by Truman Capote - This one is true crime and it kind of broke my heart but that’s also how you know the writer did a good job sometimes, especially with non-fiction.
Crush by Richard Siken - This one is one of my favorite poetry collections. I also love the collected poems of T.S. Eliot for poetry.
Gang Leader for a Day by Sudhir Venkatesh - The story of a young sociologist studying a Chicago gang from the inside. This is a very unique read.

my partner often remarks about my "freudian thoughts" wherein which i forget other people have different lives from me. case in point: while shopping for the holidays, i saw birthday party supplies and said "wow, they really put out the birthday stuff early this year" (my birthday is in march). sorry sagitrariuses (sagittari?)

Recently bought this vase I love and put some irises in it and I'm obsessed with how it looks. I kept glancing over to look at them all day. Happiness really is in things like this <3

I'm not really into stoic, mysterious types. I find them intriguing for plot purposes but I've always landed sweethearts. Which is why I'm still friends with all my exes, because they were genuinely good people and we always looked out for each other. What I find sexy is competence. The ability to do whats needed when asked or without being asked. The ability to create solutions to problems and support with confidence. LLOOOVVEEE a competent partner.
