Re-reading Wuthering Heights is a great reminder that 150 years ago, if you, say, sprained an ankle at a neighbor's house, you just lived there for five weeks until it healed.

I want things that are above my reading level, that's how I get better at reading 🤔😁

Comic from Unshelved about a boy asking librarian about what books he can check out and the librarian telling him he can check out any book. The teacher says it's above the child's reading level and they have a policy. The librarian replies he loves the sound of a breaking policy breaking.

Season's Readings 😊

@HeyLaiverd asked to read my stuff offline.

I thought why not make the first part of The Last Philosopher available to everyone.

Use QR or link in alt-text to get e-book, and feel free to share.

How is a hoarding bookdragon better than a little bookworm that reads like their life depends on it 🤔

Shouldn't books be for the sharing of knowledge, not for the owning of knowledge 😁

| just discovered the term "bookdragon” and I have never felt more seen in my
life. Unlike a bookworm, who reads like their little life depends on it, a bookdragon hoards books like treasure. I used to think I was a bookworm, but now I know that I was very, very wrong.

Sure, but does anyone start reading the classics? Reading on any level should be encouraged 😊

‘reading classics doesn’t make you any better than wattpad readers’ okay it does a little come on now

Reply by @l_ou_r_de s
As a society, we need to stop pretending that YA is a decent genre when it's the literary equivalent of a marvel movie.

"Cutter's Deep" is my personal favorite but if you like creepy and unsettling horror, you really can't go wrong with any book or story from Ronald McGillvray. As far as I'm concerned, this is an empirical fact. 📚🙂👍

Two paintings of women in nice dresses reading books.
Caption: My favourite category of painting is “portrait of an introvert who snuck out of the party she was forced to attend to go read in a quiet room somewhere” also known as me every holiday season.
