All opinions are my own. 🤍 Still reading * The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas Admittedly, I forgot how good this book is for a little bit while reading other books in between (perk of being neurodivergent). But I am back at it now, taking my time with it & absolutely adoring it.

One calls this writing. Well I'm not writing, I'm living. And they call this living but I don't think I am living either. I am being lived, I am the inside of myself peeled away and posted layer after layer, only I'm not sure what the next layer will unveil. When every layer is peeled what will there be left?, what core will fall when the last strip is gone? I am dying as we all are, I am awaiting that day with a heart knowing that it will feel calm, a relief amidst the grief . . . A year has yielded all of this for myself, and not only a year of reading but a year with the wonderful people that draw me out of myself and my comfortable reality of hellish horrors. I knew no one and no one knew me, and so they all take what I give them, and I feel their warmth wash over me. One calls this dying but I am not dying alone. I can crawl out from calamity and discontinue my dying for a little longer until I see the end of The Tunnel, a V.enture to take on Satan’s tango within, before my So(u)l(enoid) leaves me trapped in The Bell Jar of my own making. What is this you ask? A trip down my memory lane, I suppose, though a scroll on my profile can offer some of the same. We are not the same as we once were, and the old we is gone. One calls this writing, but I call this dying. 1: Schattenfroh 2: my five best discoveries of the past year (authors/books) minus Elena Ferrante, a close sixth 3: in the process of building my shelves 4: freshly built shelves 5-8: some of my current personal favorite shelves 9: Bantam PB shelf at @riverbybooksfxbg 10: first YT video thumbnail that so far has done over 10k views 11: @smallfriendrnb, my favorite bookstore in Richmond 12: first visit to @briansbooks.richmond 13: book shopping in Fredericksburg 14: last year’s Christmas book haul, very likely unbeatable 15: one of my first visits to @abi_books_brews for coffee and books « My heart for you all will go on anguished, so lead me home, past the world where there is nothing left to fear. ☝🏼year down 🎉

This little book felt like stepping into Frida Kahlo’s inner world—raw, vulnerable, and fiercely alive. “L’immagine era un gioco” isn’t a traditional biography, but that’s exactly what makes it special. It’s made of glimpses, letters, and thoughts that reveal a woman who used art to survive, to love, to resist. I found myself pausing often, rereading certain lines just to sit with them a bit longer. Thank you @lormaeditore & @poveronicola for the copy ✨📚#giftedby 💭 Who's your favourite painter? 👨🏽‍🎨👩🏽‍🎨

Il libro che prima mi ha confusa, poi completamente stravolta: Mandíbula di Mónica Ojeda. Una storia che ti trascina dentro le emozioni crude e contorte dell’adolescenza — dove paura, ossessione, potere e vulnerabilità si mescolano in onde disturbanti e poetiche. All’inizio non capivo dove volesse portarmi e forse è proprio questo il punto: Mandíbula non ti accompagna con dolcezza — ti afferra, ti mette a disagio, ti disorienta e ti lascia addosso qualcosa di oscuro e indimenticabile. Una delle letture più intense e inquietanti degli ultimi tempi. Non è per tutti, ma merita fino all’ultima pagina. Qual è il libro che vi ha lasciato questa sensazione? ENG 🇬🇧 The book that first confused me, then completely shook me: Jawbone by Mónica Ojeda. A story that pulls you deep into the raw, twisted emotions of adolescence — where fear, obsession, power, and vulnerability blur together in disturbing yet poetic waves. At first, I didn’t understand where it was taking me, and maybe that’s exactly the point: Jawbone doesn’t guide you gently — it grabs you, unsettles you, disorients you, and leaves you with something dark and unforgettable. One of the most intense and haunting reads I’ve experienced lately. It’s not for everyone, but it’s worth every page. What’s the book that left you with this same feeling? #creepy #books #creepybook #kobo
