I love some minimalist primary colors in graphic novels ♥️💞

I love Bradbury and his bleak outlooks on humanity so, so much ♥️♥️♥️

It's the last Sunday in 2020. How insane. It feels like time was frozen back in March and yet the things that happened pre-Covid seem like forever ago. On the positive side, it was a great year for reading. These are all the books I read, minus a large number of library books, books I lent out (when I love a book I almost immediately look for someone to lend it to), and a smattering of comics.

The best kind of morning 🤗

The perfect afternoon 🤘

Starting a new book with an Irish coffee (with homemade almond whipped cream to boot) 😍

I LOVED this book. It's so rare that I start reading a book by an author I've never read and within a few chapters start researching other books they've written because of how much I'm already enjoying it. Dimaline is an indigenous voice in a genre that is intensely white and male and her deft weaving of myth, folklore, and current struggles and oppression demand attention. I'll be reading her entire oeuvre I think ♥️♥️♥️

I just launched a website and will be hosting a podcast come January 2021 called Of Prurient Interest. This project will be exploring obscenity and sexuality within literature and media. These are just a few books I hope to cover. Please go follow the Litsy I created for the project @OfPrurientInterest and check out the website! What books would y'all like to see covered?

Finally, blanket weather. 😍

The best kind of breakfast.

My current active reading pile 👌👌👌

I was hoping for so much more from this gorgeous book, but honestly I wouldn't have finished reading it if it weren't for bookclub. Pretty disappointing. It was a basic, predictable foray into the Gothic genre, but it was as if the author forgot to imbue her creation with life.

I just love everything Katie Skelly does 😍😍😍

Small birthday getaway complete with books and coffee 👌🙌

Finally a reading day. 😴😴😴

Harry Potter and blue bath bombs 😍

Pretty good spot for an afternoon latte and a good book 😍

I wanna be a Mean Girl! 😍💪💣

Baking and reading and tea-drinking. That's a pretty good day...

It's been a while since I was really invested in a book but this one has me HOOKED. It's so relevant and an unflinching look at the ways that individualized philanthropy can never do the same work as real structural change.

Quarantine is finishing books and spending a lot (maybe too much) time with the S.O. 😅🤷🤗

Learning some new skills just in case shit really starts hitting the fan...

Road trip reads 🚙🚙🚙

Reading this comic while listening to the soundtrack to The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas during my stay in the Dolly Parton room at Hicksville Motel is just too, too perfect.

Nothing to complain about here 😍🙌

Oh, Spike. I just never get tired of you. 😍

One last book on the beach before I go back home.

Loving the color and illustrations in this book. 😍😍

Another beach, another book ♥️♥️

Queer sci-fi and Manhattans 😍🙌

Taking a much needed Me Day.

Finally taking some steps to get my book/food blog back up and running. 💪💪💪

So rarely do I get a quiet morning to sit in a cafe and read ♥️

Been a while since I picked up a Winterson book but I'm so excited to get drawn back in by her wonderful, practically edible, use of language. 😍😍

I don't buy many paperbacks these days, but I can't resist good illustrations. 😍

Coffee, books, and a good reading spot sometimes feel like all I need from life.

Vegetarian pad Thai and a new book on a subject I know nothing about 🙌🙌😊

I love finding new coffee shops in which to try catching up on my TBR pile...

Reading about the end of the world at the end of the world. 🌊🌊🌊

Not included: the sound of the sea.

One of my favorite ways to pass the time is with a good book and a cold beer 😻

Recovering from grad school means reading in bed all day. 🙏

Grad school is SOOOOO close to done, so I think I can make time for a little reading of my own choosing. Plus homemade granola. 😍🙏

No matter how overwhelmed I feel, a book can always take me away from it for a while.

Reading this made me crave food I know nothing about so I ordered some 😍😍😍

Reading and transcribing poetry while I drink my coffee before getting back to work on my thesis. #booknerdlife

Sex Criminals in the rain 😍💧

I honestly can't remember the last time I was so happy that a book existed in the world. 😍😍😍
