I mainly read YA because I have a PhD in literature and I need the complexity and emotion to remain intellectually engaged, but sometimes I do like to relax with an adult book. It’s nice to rest my mind with long descriptions and philosophical digressions and to read about feelings like ambivalence and activities like elder care. I really enjoy Tom Robbins’ Jitterbug Perfume because he writes so well about vegetables before he gets to the sexy bits.

Pretty sure my posts are only being followed by porn bots at this point. I used to get excited when I’d see a like on a post - if you’re into porn maybe this could be great - but for me it’s sadder to get attention from a porn-bot than no attention at all.
Planning for the future with my favorite planner from Lavendaire. So glad to have it after its turbulent journey on the high seas.
