hii!⭐️ these are the books i'm currently reading:
- crime and punishment (fyodor dostoevsky) - less is more: how degrowth will save the world (jason hickel) - history (elsa morante) - the copenhagen trilogy: childhood, youth, dependency (tove ditlevsen) - beloved (toni morrison) - pedagogy of the oppressed (paulo freire)
i like reading multiple books at a time depending on how i feel, but when i'm about to finish one i usually focus on it until the end.
up next:
- intermezzo (sally rooney) - the seven moons of maali almeida (shehan karunatilaka) - an autobiography (angela y. davis) - the light years (elizabeth jane howard) - the forbidden notebook (alba de céspedes)

I can be somewhat flighty with my books (reading based on mood) so usually have an extensive currently-reading pile which I’ll work to finish slowly until they’re due at the library: Sag harbor, colson whitehead Indelicacy, Amina Cain Bad blood, John carreyrou The other Americans, laila lalami Fear of flying, Erica jong Travelers to unimaginable lands, dasha kiper
Once I’ve worked through those, id like to read: james, percival Everett The premonition, banana yoshimoto What are you going through, sigrid nunez

having girl bffs is so important - i cant even think of anything better … maintaining sisterhood is literally the 8th wonder of the world … i am incomplete without supportive female friendships … i can live with having only 5 friends if it means they’re the best 5 girls in the universe

been journaling for awhile and its been a tool for creativity and unwinding after a longgg day. but having a larger journal with many pages can be daunting so i would recommend a pocket journal of some sort and ur fav pen (even fun stickers and photos) so u can take it with u on the go and not feel too intimidated. i love writing what i just witnessed, immediate thoughts, and literally anything for memory keeping or reflection. im on my third pocket journal now and although i havent been consistent its been something i do look forward to revisiting all the time 💓
