— much loved book, pouring my heart into its pages
— filling my days with books
[the girl who reads on the metro was such a beautiful book! I’m now starting one of alice oseman’s novels because I fell in love with their heartstopper comic! also, a lot of people have messaged me asking for my Goodreads! here is the link -> https://www.goodreads.com/marcifulI would love to have more friends on there haha!]
tell me about your favourite books. tell me about the characters that made you swoon for days even after they’ve said their goodbyes. tell me about the storyline that changed your point of view regarding the real world. tell me about the sentences that you had to read multiple times as they felt so precious. tell me about the emotions you went through while living in a different reality. tell me about the experiences you gained after reading the last word at the last chapter. tell me what made you fall in love again and maybe i can understand you better after knowing what your imagination looks like.
“They know that tragedy is not glamorous. They know it doesn’t play out in life as it does on a stage or between the pages of a book. It is neither a punishment meted out nor a lesson conferred. Its horrors are not attributable to one single person. Tragedy is ugly and tangled, stupid and confusing.”
E. Lockhart, We Were Liars(2014).
Hey y'all
Today I wanted to share something really cool.
This is Christine de Pizan, the coolest lady in the middle ages and proto feminist.
Here are some of her accomplishments:
- She was the first woman to live off her own work as a writer
- Was the first woman to write a history book
- Wrote several books and treaties against the stereotipation of women
- Had her own “publishing agency”, where she employed at least one other woman as her miniaturist
- Was all around really cool
I hope you all go learn more about her and share it with as many people as possible
Btw, the woman in the picture is Christine herself, as in every one of her books there were some illustrations where she was depicted while writing
Love y'all
