Carried over from my Tumblr, this is a personal project tracking what I read through time, largely because of my awful memory. These aren't long reviews, but the books are varied, and the opinions are honest, so I hope you enjoy.
At about this time every year, I re-read The Perks of Being a Wallflower, by Stephen Chbosky. It's something of a tradition that I use as a comfort blanket to settle my nerves going into a new school year. Unfortunately, I love TPoBaW far too much to think critically about it, so I don't review it. Instead, I'll leave a few good things here. This year, please accept a painting by the wonderful Brian Froud, a verse of Savannah Brown's stunning poem Moles Don't Think About Space or Small Talk, and my favourite song of late, Silver Lining by First Aid Kit.
Or, you could just ignore this- it is a bit weird. Normal services will be resumed soon.

if i was a mole in the side of a hill i wouldn't seek that same masochistic thrill that keeps my human heart humming, human mind numbing, someone please help me, i think i'm becoming insignificant again-- that's the third time today. a mole wouldn't cry when asked of its day
