there is no power on this earth or beyond it that could make me hate slow burn, the mutual pining, shared smiles, longing stares, the ache of yearning when they’re apart and overwhelming joy when they’re reunited i’m actually gonna be sick just thinking about it
so ur telling me lockwood&co has a dedicated fanbase from just one season, reached top 10 trending in so many countries, and still got cancelled ? netflix you’re never seeing the gates of heaven
i wish i could read faster not for my reading goal but just because i have so many books i want to read but it’s gonna take me forever to get to all of them
can someone tell me how paperbacks START at $25 now. how???? i swear they were $18 like 4 years ago??? why are they so much more expensive rn i hate it here

things i count toward my reading goal:
— physical, audiobooks, ebooks
— graphic novels & compendiums
— plays, poetry, short stories
— rereads
— anything with an isbn, generally
things i don’t count toward my reading goal:
— ur opinion on it 🫶🏻
is it crazy for me to think that the worst book trend is not ‘spreading negativity’ ??? like it’s fun to talk about books, it’s funny to @ my moots who dislike my fave books, we’re still interacting positively ? someone disliking ur fave book shouldn’t feel like a personal attack
publishers rn are more concerned with the cover of their books than they are with the content because the book community places too much emphasis on books being pretty
i read the picture of dorian gray in 2020 and it became my favourite classic but none of this matters because it’s overshadowed by the fact that i read it on my fucking nintendo DS
because censorship is bad and we shouldn’t ignore the fact that book banning disproportionately affects marginalised authors & cuts off children’s access to information and education based on conservative christian values
idk why so many people are against book banning like do yall want kids to get their hands on dark romance easily??? like wtf? have yall seen the filth currently in romance 💀
why does booktwt always act like book marketing isn’t a thing ??? these covers all look the same because people gravitate towards familiarity & it helps sales
ppl will tweet ‘how have some ppl read X books already?!’ which ALWAYS invites discourse & the ‘they must be lying’/‘they don’t have lives’ crowd, then when op receives backlash they come out w the ‘no i’m not hating i’m jealous!!’ but what you ACTUALLY are is fucking annoying
idk i actually don’t think there’s anything wrong with reading short books to reach ur goal if you’re having fun doing it

@NightOwlNikk
my tbr is every book i own physically or digitally, plus the books i have from KU and libby (which are all in folders on the app so i don’t forget them). so basically whatever i have access to. my wishlist is separate and includes wtvr i want to read but need to buy/borrow first

riiigght. so free healthcare is bad because..it means doctors aren’t rich? just fuck the people who can’t afford it yeah? this has nothing to do with your original tweet. “the people who make the products” will still get paid. the same way everyone else in the public sector does.
@vicreads_
idk i find it really easy to just differentiate between what i’m reading ?? i don’t tend to forget books i’ve read either so ig i just have good memory
no hate to op or the creator of the video btw, ik this question was asked sincerely. this is just smth i’ve noticed recently in book spaces. it’s like a shift from one extreme to another
