Reblog and put in the tags the book that is physically nearest to you at this moment.

I think we need more Dracula media that includes the slow, growing horror of both the sailors being picked off one by one until the captain is left on the ship and the unsettling moments of Mina watching her sweet Lucy stare vacantly at her while sleep waking. They both unnerve me and I think it would do well to terrify others with other aspects beyond the Count terrorizing Jonathan. Perhaps I’m not looking in the right places though. Please correct me if otherwise

A crucial part of the bookstore experience is saying hi to all the books you’ve already read

saw a post letting people know that your ao3 bookmarks are viewable on your account unless you make them private, which suggests that the median ao3 user does not use ao3 in what i will call 'the optimum fic-finding treadmill' where you find a fic author you like and look through their bookmarks to find more fics that are good and then look through that author's bookmarks for even more good fics. like a conga line of great but extremely specific tastes. or one of those chessboard rice doubling analogies and oh no that is a LOT of ao3 tabs.

yeah, OP there are heathens out there using things like kudos numbers and even hit counts to find fic to read, it’s so wild

Can we please go back to putting summaries on the back of books?? Idc what Susan thought. I want to know what the book is about.
