I got the chance to read The Princss Bride, so I did
Like many people, I grew up with the movie. The quotable lines, the swashbuckling adventure, the perfect romance - it was all burned into my memory. "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya" became a cultural touchstone. "As you wish" was shorthand for true love. And "Inconceivable!" - well, we all know what that means. So when I spotted The Princess Bride at a bookstore, I grabbed it without hesitation, expecting a straightforward novelization of the story I already knew by heart.

Never has a book made me feel so seen
Everyone In This Room Will Someday Be Dead by Emily Austin 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🤯 This truly felt like such a validating and comforting experience, which is so far from what was expected. It was like taking a trip into my mind from an outsider's perspective: so much of what happens in Gilda's mind is so eerily familiar I had to step and check that I was still listening to her thoughts and not my own.

Seven Husbands, One Life
🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵.🤯🤯🤯.💥 Good lord that woman knows how to write. This was possibly the singular exact work that could have reignited my love of reading after so many years. The work was intriguing, well written, romantic and classy, and somehow personal. Taylor weaved together a plot full of twists and surprises and rewards, but at the same time so balanced between indulgence and restraint.

Black Girls Must /Indeed/ Die Exhausted
🩵🩵🩵🩶. A comfortable read with dialogue that made me feel present in everyday life. "The air between us pregnant in the way that I was not. Heavy with the words spoken and the weight of those unspoken."

Hey everyone, welcome back to Han Feizi's Workplace Rules.

Zippers, Jumpscares, and the Burden of Expectation:. AI-Generated.
It feels fitting that Five Nights at Freddy’s 2—a movie about nightmarish animatronics coming alive when they’re not supposed to—would itself arrive under somewhat ominous conditions.

Best Books I Have Read in 2025
With the constant post-prandial somnolence of the festivities, it feels hard to write something that requires energy, work, and effort. Truthfully, anything we hope to be well written takes some form of effort, but one thing is to write solely from my brain and heart (with minimal fact-checking), and another is to research for a full-blown — and at times tedious — essay.
