a guide to my reading lists

This one might be a little harder to understand.

So I really like cherry blossoms, they're just so friggin delicate and pretty. If you don't live near anywhere that grows trees that grow cherry blossoms, then if you've watched anime you've probably seen animations of them falling. They originate from Japan, of course and sadly only appear for a short time in the spring.

The books in this reading list, kind of remind me of how I feel whenever I see cherry blossoms falling from a tree. I get the same feeling whenever I see snow falling, or leaves falling. Basically, you're watching something so pure and delicate fall from above, flutter gracefully to the ground. But it's also a reminder that a time is coming to an end, and it's time to move on, like when you finish a book. It's something you wish you could capture forever, but then again that would make it less mesmerizing. You can't win, but you can still love the blossoms.

I also pictured blossoming, they blossom and fall in such a short time, it's like that time was rushed. These books aren't the best books I've ever read but I still appreciated the experience. If you're looking for simple good books that won't fuck you over completely and leave you numb for a few hours, here it is.

I hope you get to watch the cherry blossoms fall.
