#booksandtea
Books and tea! What else do you need to bring home from vacation? Super excited that I was finally able to track down We Don’t Eat Our Classmates. Also that mix and match book on the left is gorgeous and fun and amazing. Add two Abby Howard Earth Before Us books, two used romance novels, and a pile of different teas, and I’m a super happy reader.

Whenever I asked my sister to create a character for a story I was writing when we were kids, they always ended up obsessed with dragons.
Can’t say I blame her!

The tea we got with the #CapturingTheDevil hangover crate from @faecrate smells divine Haven’t dared to make a cup yet - there’s a high risk I’ll drink all of it in a day!

Well this book is amazing. Everybody missing that British magical otherworld that is almost our world vibe, this book is the one. Such a great literary bridge between reason and imagination, science and magic. It’s gorgeous. ☕️

Funky 1974 edition of Brideshead Revisited, a British and Catholic classic from 1944 that I have never gotten around to reading. I’m excited for some right snobbery and parlor politics. I hope it doesn’t disappoint. Also, the picture makes it look dark as night, but that there is a gorgeous cup of @stdalfourukofficialu peppermint tea. A perfect nightcap.

Day 31 of #modernlessmarch Friendship: I think I’m very blessed that no matter where I go I’ve always made the most amazing friends. Something we started last year was our Wednesday night book study and tea party.
We meet once a week to discuss the book we’re reading, make dinner and drink tea. It’s been so special spending every week with these ladies.
On a personal note earlier this week I lost a friend. It’s been very hard but I know he’s in a better place. It also serves as a reminder to remember my friends, make time for them, and cherish them. None of us are long for this world so we must do our best with the time we have.
.

.P.S. I made all these capes.

What makes you the happiest in your life? ☺️
Lately, I haven’t been the happiest I could be but I’m trying to find a thing a day, or if it’s too much, a thing a week that makes me happy. BTS is one of them, with their sunshine personalities and uplifting music, listening to audiobooks, doing a little decorating, meeting with or talking to friends or eating something good, these are some that I try to do more of. And thankfully, my love for taking pictures is coming back. I guess the summer time for me is the worst, I somehow always seem to be uninspired come hot and sweaty. So my goal is for the next summer, to take enough pictures until so I won’t feel unproductive here. Like take this picture for example, I took it last December when I was home and now found a perfect use for it.
So what makes YOU the happiest?

Book on Goodreads: A South Afri(K)an Psycho http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/40853875-a-south-afri-k-an-psycho
Book Therapy
“If there’s a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.”- Toni Morrison
A South Afri(K)an Psycho
“I killed the boy because I was afraid that the man was going to be born. The quickest way to kill someone: the Michael Meyers way, the Thomas Hewitt way. I had to delete him. The box cutter. I calmly stabbed him in the larynx and sang a lullaby in his ear as I held his head on my chest. The muscles around his larynx were collapsing as my fingertips were held against the bloodied skin on his neck. There’s a lot of calamity as I describe this very moment. I am in control and as I recall the moment in such detail the words are not difficult to put on paper.
The most fascinating thing that I can recall are those muscles collapsing. I was as calm as a bumblebee. The creatures in my mind were still playing on their merry-go-round. I’m beginning to think there is a see-saw somewhere. Some fucking where…
The snake and leopard don’t mate in the hours of the full moon and in winter. But all the same, they hunt for their prey.” - A South Afri(K)an Psycho ♥️

Writing as a Utopia
“There is something delicious about writing the first words of a story. You never quite know where they’ll take you.” - Beatrix Potter
A South Afri(K)an Psycho
The post-apocalyptic mind decays and the dead crows sing.
“I remember slitting her tender wrist nicely…blood playing a little game of drip drop while those happy tears drank themselves to sleep. I remember watching over my little shadow self - dull looking, sad looking, bony and petite looking little migraine chanting in her own little sea of shadows. Despair, Despair, Despair. Happy despair.”
Available on Amazon and Kindle!

“I spent my life folded between the pages of books.
In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived love and loss through stories threaded in history; I experienced adolescence by association. My world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb, bone to sinew, thoughts and images all together. I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction.” - Tahereh Mafi,
Literature is my Utopia
“Sanity is found at the centre of convulsion, where madness is scorched from the bisected soul.” - Sarah Kane
#Kindle edition. Our minds are powerful yet fragile at the same time. Our own words decay as the post-apocalyptic mind reaches a new plateau on its own with its dark twisted entities. We live in the shadow realm of our own thoughts that morph into dark wings that flap into the sphere of the death gods that enter and voraciously penetrate our mind. Sometimes, even in the midst of our loathsome and sometimes boring utopia we cling on to a madness that morphs into chains - chains that mindlessly bind themselves into dark, fragile, infutile, seamless thoughts until we are consumed by the shadow realm itself while peacefully singing like a deranged mockingbird.

Book therapy is incredibly serene ♥️

“Books are not something that you just read words in. They’re also a tool to adjust your senses. When I’m not feeling well there are times that I can’t take in what I read. When that happens, I try to think about what could be hindering my reading. There are books that I can take in smoothly even when I’m not feeling well. I try to think why. It might be something like mental tuning. What’s important when you tune is the feeling of the paper that you’re touching with your fingers and the momentary stimulation your brain receives when you turn pages…” - Makishima Shougo
