I’m jealous that your dog stays cuddling with you for as long as she did. My dog will lay down with me for approximately 0.0002 seconds then will move across the room.

[@samirabouslimi9703]

Just wanted to let you know that you inspired me to finally start reading more again. Ever since starting uni its become so hard for me to find the attention, time and endurance to do more reading. But since January I have read 10 books! - As much as I've read all 2019. That's a big deal for me, considering that reading was hard for me for such a long time. So thank you so much for being such an inspiring force and frankly, the only booktuber I really enjoy because you're a meme queen, relatable and honest. Have a nice quarantine girl x

[@paperbackdreams]

that makes me so happy to hear!

[@jazmynnv5831]

hard same! I've already read five this year and that's also more than I read in 2018 and 2019 combined. I was an English major so reading for leisure wasn't even on my radar for a long long long time. I've fallen in love again and it feels gooooood.

[@ahmoh9064]

I see that recently you have started to read manga so I’m going to recommend you an underground mangaka called Inio Asano. Hes very well known for his melancholic art style and depressing story’s and many junji Ito fans love his works. I highly recommend “good night punpun”. It’s a story about the life of this guy (who the readers see him as a bird character) and well that’s literally it just a story of the dark circle of life. A highly depressing read but really popular with manga fans. It’s 7 volumes long but if you want to read his one shots to get a feel for him then “ A girl on the shore” which is a story about teenage sexuality and the struggles that comes with it. I want to add that it’s 100% not an erotic story, he manages to turn one of life’s greatest pleasures into just straight up depression and confusion. Highly recommend

[@-Anouck-]

ahoora mohmedi that book just straight up murdered me and threw my ashes in depression. My god, that’s some heavy shit man

[@paperbackdreams]

I've been recommended that one a lot recently, so I'm definitely gonna get on it asap
