J.K. Rowling's old patronus. I feel special now. #patronus #harrypotter

I've never loved a book so much at the beginning and hated it so much by the end. Gross, tedious, and annoying.

Risked my life getting some of these off of high shelves. Being a book nerd is dangerous business. 🤓 #septphotochallenge #numbersintitle

Didn't read much in August but this was definitely the highlight. Great, thought-provoking book. #septphotochallenge

So I just got to *that* chapter. Feeling a little bit traumatized. 😦☹️💩👎

Hmm. The Tibetan Book of the Dead has been sitting on my shelf for two years. I should probably read it before I, you know, die. 💀 #TBRTuesday

"You go from dream to dream inside me. You have passage to my last shabby corner..."

I'm a bird person and this book is making me have a lot of feelings about dodoes. 😢

Haven't read a properly great book in a long while. Hoping this is the one.

Romance novels? Not my thing. Romance novels with time travel and literary pretensions? Still not my thing, apparently.

Why? Why do I need to know what kind of tub it is and that a beige Lincoln Continental drove by? He's out of that bathroom by the next page, you guys. Nothing important happens there that will warrant this level of detail. I hate this book. 😡

This is a lovely book, full of lovely and strange photos, but this is by far my favorite. That bone structure! 😍

"Yet the timeless in you is aware of life's timelessness..."

What are you trying to say about my personality, J.K. Rowling? ::Feels slightly judged:: 🐍🐍

Starring Alex Kingston/River Song/the Doctor's wife? I see what you did there Doctor Who novel writer guy.

This book should be a litmus test for how well-adjusted you are. If you're appalled, congratulations, you had a happy childhood. If you find these stories (of hookers, feral cats, and inappropriate dads) amusing and relatable you're probably a neurotic mess. Good luck. Enjoy your lobby waffle.

The best thing about birthdays. 🎈🎂🎁

A good beginning, a middle that dragged, a decent-ish ending, and an irritating epilogue. Basically, mid-tier Rushdie.

Pretty sure he wasn't even threatening to be our president when this sentence was first written. 😢

"All that most maddens and torments; all that stirs up the lees of things..."

"In these imaginings he cast himself always among the rootless plants..."

I liked the bit at the end where humans become quasi-Time Lords moving planets out of danger and zipping around the universe devil-may-care, but everything before that was varying degrees of meh. I want to love Carl Sagan but I just can't get there. Sorry, science-hipsters.

"I Sat Belonely". Because my taste in poetry is not highbrow.

Finally rereading after ten years. Don't let me down Melville!
