The City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty

I don’t know how I lived without these characters before

clarice has been a great company these days. she speaks about god thru lóri's point of view, her believes, and it sounds a lot camus' absurdism! she says 'if i wanna pray, it would be to the cosmic or to Nothing'.

rainy days and depression, love to see it. 🌧🤍

i've been away for a bit because, you know, college. and i have to read these two for classes. life's been boring lately, but i'm fine with that.

sometimes it rains and it's like nothing more exists. incredible how rain has the power to make me feel safe. 🌧🤍

started 'água viva' today. my first clarice! her writing is wow, i've been annotating a lot. so many thoughts already. just wild!

i was gonna go for run today, but gave up, it's been one of those lazy days. probably do some yoga before go to bed.

tomorrow i feel like it's gonna be a good day. (probably won't though) - let's keep it positive.

that's a goal: be more positive! 🤍🌧

1am, i'm reading 'hiperculturalidade', and it's so good. probably, i'll be finishing it on thursday or friday.

also, i read today 'blue horses' by mary oliver and liked it. wasn't too invested tho, but it's great.

and in the morning, i was able to read a lot of 'the idiot' by elif batuman. this book is making me so happy! her writing is amazing and just to be in selin's mind is fascinating.

be kind to yourselves 🤍🌧

continuing this one today! i'm still on 10% but really enjoying it. it's funny and brings some good questions to think about.

other than that, i apply for next semester's classes. hope i'll be accepted at all of them.

i'm trying to think more about the projects i'd like to work on.

i hope it rains today. 🌧

Hi!!

I bought 4 books recently, 2 of them arrived today:

• o mito de sísifo - camus;

• exílios e poemas - james joyce.

As you know, I already read the myth of sysifus, but it was on kindle and i wanted to have the physical one. And the Joyce's, I never even had heard about it, but found it online and it sounds interesting.

Be kind to yourselves, fellas! 🤍🌧

i received these three clarice lispector books today! i'm so happy and ready to read her works. i already had other three.

pretty amazing, isn't it? the covers are crazy. i'm gonna start with the second one, água viva - my friend told me so.

apart from that, the days have been a little bit harder, and i can't wait for traveling. i need to get away.

but back to the books: i think i'm gonna really start a booktube. for that, i need to get over my shyness. i might not do it, i always leave projects halfway or 'noneway'.

hope everyone is having an amazing day. take care. 🤍🌧

oieee! i had to go to college to return some books because my classes are finished (thank god) and i'm officially on vacation.

i'm still reading 'a peste' by camus. it's good but i was too busy getting crazy with the finals.

next book i'm gonna read is another byung-chul han (i know, i'm a stan) - 'hiperculturalidade'.

hope everything is good with you all. 🤍🌧

read 'infocracia' with wine yesterday night and finished 'the right to sex' tonight which was good but not great. my plans are to read a bit more of 'lolita' or 'crime e castigo' tomorrow and find a better mindset, cause honestly i've not been feeling good lately.

hope everyone is having a good time in life. 🤍🌧

Currently reading, A tale of two cities.

yeah i’m fine (sometimes fictional characters are the only people i feel loved by)

The silliest line in Percy Jackson and The Olympians book three.. #books #bookstagram #percy #jackson (Taken with Instagram)

"She's going to sit alone. Right at that same table where she built it all. Her happiness, her courage, her perseverance, but most importantly, where she met all of her friends. Now it's all crumbling down to her fingertips. She closes her eyes and tries to dream herself away into a reality where all of that still exsists, but she can't. It's all blank without the real thing... Without the real them. Complete nothingness. She can't even remember their voices. Everything is fading away from her. And everytime, she blames herself for something that she couldn't control. They've all left now; her friends. The girl lifts her head and stares at them. They're all happy. They all prance around, discussing random topics she used to talk about with them all of the time. She even sees her crush holding hands with her best friend. They don't even notice her. All of them go sit at their new table, completely forgetting about what once was. She weakly smiled as tears fell down her cheeks. Her heart ached for them. For someone. But she had no one. She put her head back down and waited for an escape. She pulled her sketchbook and poetry journal closer to her. They may only be objects, but they are all she has now. She pours her heart out crying. She couldn't hold it in any longer. Her fears were reality, and she somehow had to stay strong in this. But how could she stay strong when she wasn't going to be remembered by any of them? Was it all pointless to make memories in the first place? She just wanted to disappear. She then heard whispers all around her. It sounded like her friends, but that couldn't be. She lifted her head up and rubbed her eyes. A boy with a pretend smile and a sympathetic gaze pulled me into a hug.

"You're going to be okay, we're all going to be okay. I promise."

She cried into his chest until they all gathered around her and tackled her into a group hug.

Her friends.

They were here.

"I'm sorry for the mess I've created," She shyly whispered, "haven't you forgotten me, yet? I would've."

"How could we forget about you?" A raven haired boy asked, "We've been right here the whole time."

Watch pt.1 too!! #qotd : Do you have any among these?!

🖤🦋Romance Book Spread🦋🖤 💞Valentine’s Day Special 💞 #qotd : Which is your fav romance book and author ?

@chetanbhagat & @durjoydatta are my so far read fav romance book authors.

Chetan Bhagat’s One Indian Girl is my fav book among all others! I’m not into YA books but this story inspired me a lot. It’s sort of from a feministic view.

I’ll post it’s review shortly !

Look for the reviews on The Boy Who Loved , The Boy With A Broken Heart and The Girl of My Dreams in the feed

So this is my #RedFebruaryTBR . Apparently I’m not gonna read this two as I’m tempted by other two books. But I prepared this two as tbr because this is RED FEBRUARY and everyone is doing this. See one book have #black #sprayededges !!

Arghhhh! I wanna read this but just can’t take this until I finish the others. And that two dreamcatcher keychains are my DIY. I’m feel so proud of myself when I see those! What do u think about it?

So which are your #RedFebruaryTBR ?

Guys, where do you get your book recs? And do you have recs? (Of books or of bootuber/ig/substack/podcast/...)

Guys, where do you get your book recs? And do you have recs? (Of books or of bootuber/ig/substack/podcast/...)

I'm desperately looking for booktubers (or just youtubers) that are over 30ish and don't speak about YA/Fantasy/Romance 😭

m l rio really said "you can justify anything if you do it poetically enough" and thought it justified making me lose my mind over a bunch of emo theatre kids huh

normal people shuffle.
