The White Book
by Han Kang

devastatingly Beautiful

This is a BOOK. And not in word count or some other after this obsolete metric, but emotion. The way the author just gets it is frankly scary.

In the prefatory glazing, that most books seem obliged to have, there was a comment something along the lines of "ts so good my highlighter ran out", so I decided to annotate for the first time. No regrets, you should do it too, this one more than deserves it. 10/10

Carmilla
by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu

An atmospheric Fall read

In forgotten lands, shrowded in mist and mystery, in castles, that long precede the memory of most of it's inhabitants. Through secret passages illuminated only by the moonlight, and disturbing deaths...

I mean, how could you NOT love something like that? It's cute, it has some proto-sapphic scenes, with some underlying ScArY tension.

Did it change my life? Not at all. Did I ejoy it? Yes, and I can see myself reaching towards it some other time during spooky season.

I would deffo recommend it to all the gothic lesbians out there. It's short and sweet, and, tough it didn't really do it for me, I've seen people rave about it.

(to come)

In the monestary does lie a "quaint" collection of books, all scattered around.

You know, it must be a shame; someone really should look through some of these...

In this page, I'm intending to place some of my book reviews and maybe other stuff ;)

But for now, one can admire the pretty book covers!

BTW you can scroll down in some of the text sections (hopefully). Idk why it doesn't really fully show, but it ain't broke enough to fix it.
