I saw an author write about how âeverybody hates opening a second hand book and seeing scribblesâ and I canNOT relate. I adore that shit. Absolutely nothing sexier than opening a book and seeing someone elseâs thoughts outlined in ink.
I have an 1890s copy of The Merchant of Venice with someoneâs ENTIRE ESSAY handwritten in the back

I'll never understand why in library apps, where all there is is data and no physical copy, there's a wait list for the books.
It's because your library needs to pay for an ebook, whichever can only be used by one user at a time. Publishers have begun to limit the number of copies of an ebook (or audio book) a library can own and how many times they can be checked out, too.
Taking this opportunity to signal boost the ALA (American Library Association) petition to Macmillan Publishers, who are restricting library access to ebooks even more.

They have limited libraries of all sizes to one ebook for the first 8 weeks of a bookâs release. Itâs awful and profit-grabbing and limits access to people who rely on libraries for content they need or want. Please sign!

itâs just me and my four hundred unread books against the world i guess
Sparknotes does social media a bit too well
When the author describes a characterâs appearance way too late and you have to quickly redesign the image you already have for them in your head:

So the subplot of Holes is that Kate Barlow deals with the politically-sanctioned execution of her black boyfriendâwho unlawfully kissed a white woman who was in love with him!!!âby becoming a serial killer who targets racist/sexist white dudes who harassed her, were rejected, then went after her boyfriend as revenge from the depths of the âfriend zoneâ.
Go off Louis Sachar, let em know!
Donât forget the main plot was a damning satire of the brokenness and inherent racism of the American justice and prison systems! Louis Sachar does not fuck about
It always fuck me up that older people donât understand how this story is as essential to most american children as Gone with the Wind or Mary Poppins was.
unironically, this is one of the best books/movies for young people that exists
Kissing Kate Did Nothing Wrong
And the technical writing of Holes is perfect. Like, itâs one of the most technically-perfect books ever written. Basically any plotting or pacing or characterization issue youâre having, read Holes and really study how Sachar did it. THE LIZARDS! THE LIZARDS.
the twisty prophecies! the lizards! the lipstick! the humor! this book doesnât play. a true classic.
me, begging, tears in my eyes: please. please just tell me what the book is about. the plot. please

older lotr illustrations sometimes depict Ă©owyn wearing ridiculously small armour. apart from the problem general sexualisation of the only female character (who really does anything), thereâs another hilarious thought:
Ă©owyn pretended to be dernhelm, a man. to fit in, she must have worn menâs armor. so the armor in the illustrations is normal for rohirrim.
therefore, all the rohirrim rode to war just like that:
thereâs a thundering sound in the distance as the rohirrim ride into war but rather than hoofbeats itâs the collective sound of all their cheeks clapping
the artist for this particular piece is Frank Frazetta and to be fair to him this is how he drew the orcs armorÂ
so the rohirrim comment is probably not that far off
Thatâs a man who just straight up had a problem with the concept of wearing pants into battle, and I respect that
male or female
hero or villain
sea or land
even in the snow
I guarantee you Frazettaâs Rohirrim were 100% pants-free
Good Old Frank. That man loved bodies and hated clothes so much
Matilda (1996), dir. Danny DeVito
hold up Danny DeVito directed the most influential film of my childhood?
Not only directed it but starred in it, took care of Mara Wilson (Matilda) while her mother was in hospital with cancer and even managed to get an advanced copy of the movie for her to watch before she succumbed to her illness. The man is a treasure.
The best story Iâve heard about the production of Matilda was:Â
The scene where Matilda was dancing around her living room making things fly around to the song âLittle Bitty Pretty Oneâ was very nerve-wracking for Mara. She told Danny that she was anxious to do the scene, and he said, âYou know why? Because youâre the only one dancing! We just have to have everyone else dance too! Then it wonât be scary!âÂ
So everyoneâthe crew, the rest of the cast, the people at the craft services table, everyoneâdanced along with the song, at Dannyâs insistence. Apparently the only one who wasnât doing the full on dance was the camera man, who just did a foot shuffle so the camera wouldnât jiggle.Â
If thatâs not the sweetest thing ever I donât know what is.Â
a few pages from the 19th century diary of miss elizabeth aveling. i donât know who she was or where she was from, but holding her diary of sketches and daydreams was transcendent.Â
