That frustrating and facepalm moment when certain line/incident in a book seemed familiar to you(that made you think of smth) and you planned to ask a friend about it after finishing a chapter. But then that thought evaporates completely from your mind and when you remember to ask your friend, you can't really recall WHICH line made you remember WHAT, even after having rechecked the lines! Ugh!!
😀
Many books are going to be released this month. I'm excited for Wayward son and The tyrant's tomb.
Look, I know a good number of you are from the US and things aren't amazing there either, but my country is literally on the brink of collapse. So I'd love it if we could talk about that for a minute.
If you can't do anything else, please just read and reblog.
A second COVID wave has taken out the healthcare system. There are no more hospital beds. There's an oxygen shortage. There's a critical vaccine shortage. The Central Government has thrown its hands up and is passing the baton to the State Governments to do what they can.
There are over 16 million covid cases. A record 330,000 new cases reported yesterday - comparable to the US at its peak. 187,000 dead as of today.
There is no plan.
Mass cremations are taking place. The cremation grounds are running day and night and they are short on wood. People are watching their loved ones die while waiting for a hospital bed, and then they're unable to give them the proper burial rights.
Hospitals are overwhelmed. Patients are being confined, two to a bed. They're the lucky ones.
We are on the verge of people dying in the streets.
This is the second-most populous country in the world. The largest democracy. A country that encapsulates over 15,000 years of recorded human history and has endured everything from famine to invasion to colonisation.
We might be at the end. This might be the thing that does us in.
People are dying.
People are dying.
People are dying and there is no plan.
More good news? Variants are popping up. A double mutation strain has shown up. It is resistant to current vaccines. This will not go away. This is the devastation they warned of when the anti-maskers were out protesting the minor inconvenience of covering their face in public.
My country is on the verge of an emergency state. Our government has failed us. This is as dire a situation as it ever could be.
Look. I don't do much with my life. I write fics, some of you have read them and that's pretty much it. I spend my days with my head in the clouds because that's where I like to be.
But two days ago, my grandmother tested positive, had to be taken to hospital and the ambulance caught fire.
She barely made it to the urgent care she needs.
So, here I am, using whatever meager platform I have to cobble this request together. Because I have to do something.
If you can, donate.
Or spread the word.
Help. Please.
Simon: How art thou, Oh Lord Thyme!?
Baz: WHAT! I'm Basil. Not Thyme.
Simon: ah Ha! Got you! Lord Basil.
Baz: *facepalms*
Penny: "laughs and shakes her head*

Nostalgia. Sometimes fills you with happiness and sometimes with immense sadness. In both cases, you get the urge to share or scream about it to the whole world and explain how those moments can never be brought back. Unless we've a time machine!
*sighs* Let's just live the moment and move on.
I completed reading this book today and I liked it.
It's a love story between 2 boys who are paired by the English teacher to write letters to each other for a writing class assignment.
The friendship between Adam Karlansky and Jonathan Hopkirk develops little by little into love.
This book is much more than a love story. It also deals with bullying, homophobia, physical abuse and drugs.
I loved the writing and the writer's deep thoughts that has the power to evoke your emotions.
Kurl and Jo's love story was so cute and hot and had ups and downs.
There are some parts that I didn't like. Other than that it's a heartwarming, emotional and lovely book.
I liked so many quotes and the interpretation of Walt Whitman's poems. And I'm happy with the ending.
And Mark kurlansky is my favourite character.
The friendship in the girl group was shown so beautifully in the Skam italia season 1. One can't help but wish to be a part of that group. 💗

I just finished reading the House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J Maas.
And It was mind-blowing. With so many twists and jaw dropping and heart-wrenching moments. What a great fantasy-mystery-thriller it was!
CAN'T wait for the next book.
It's about to get more interesting.
