so turns out working 20 hrs/wk at the public library and finding a good book series means you absolutely DEMOLISH your reading goals for the year. i set them at an achievable 10 books this year and i read like. nine. in march. yet another win for the humble public library

I took my books back and they where having a book sale!! It was the last day and I managed to get 2 books Ive been wanting to read for 70p. I didnโt know they still did book sales! It was the day before my birthday and it felt serendipitous. I also borrowed 3 more books. I love the library my heart is so full. Maybe you want to save money, I will have read ยฃ67.95 (rrp) of books for 70p this time!! Might be cynical but I donโt think libraries would exist if you proposed them today itโs too anti capitalist like what do you mean people can just borrow books for free!! Please go itโs magic.

-it's (mostly) free
-low stakes, u can change books if u don't like them and just borrow another one!
-gets me out of a reading slumps bc i have a deadline to read them instead of just being able to allow them to collect dust on my bookshelf forever
-supports one of the few remaining free third spaces
-finding paragraphs someone else underlined and imagining the person based on that
-that hot pisces librarian that looks like german michael pitt and wears dress pants in the middle of summer. that's just my local library sorry

desperately need everyone in the world to read my favorite book that i imprinted on like a baby duckling at 16 years old. was there something wrong with me? maybe. is the book good? yes.
do you like ghosts? haunted houses? weird marriages? then boy do i have the book for you

i would do a lot to be able to buy (buy!!!! i know you can make it but i can't do that rn) a gluten free pizza that ISN'T the thinnest crust known to man. have u seen all the technology we have. surely i can have a cheesy stuffed crust that won't make me feel like i have the flu. surely this is possible

my best suggestion is finding nonfiction in a topic you're interested in and going from there. not all nonfiction has to read like a textbook!! i love caitlin doughty's books, and i remember liking one by mary roach
