Yes: George Orwell wrote more than just Animal Farm and 1984, in fact.
My very first PKD. A rite of passage, perhaps? That was really… weird, but interesting.
George Orwell manages to articulate why people using political buzzword salad is so annoying in one essay.
My friend told me to read this seven years ago. I should have listened.
Looking for an adorable picture book to read to that one toddler in your life who never wants to take a nap? Well, I have just the book for you…
Sooooo….. I have a lot of thoughts. So many thoughts that I wrote a 1,600+ word Goodreads review immediately upon finishing this book, and that’s why today is my first-ever SPOILER REVIEW.
If you stick to one genre, reading can get boring. Why? Because the book world is not immune to trend-hopping. Publishers want to sell books, so they publish what sells, leading to a myriad of interesting– but sometimes repetitive– trends.

I’ve been obsessed with YA mystery/thrillers for a while… there’s something about the easy-to-read yet suspenseful writing style, plentiful plot twists, and shock endings. They’re just so readable, and I can’t just enough!
I am ashamed of myself.
First because I failed to read this book sooner, and second because I’ve been complaining about quarantine nonstop without truly realizing that my life is NOT that bad.
Is this a discussion post?
I was recently thinking about how I want to expand the kinds of books I read, and that gave me this idea.
I NEED to meet Holly Jackson. Right now. This woman is a genius.
It is a truth universally acknowledged that every evil dictator was once an ambitious, self-centered and clueless teen who really, truly hated cabbage.
