every time i download a pdf to put on my ereader i take bread straight from the author's mouth. for dessert i eat the moths that fly out of their empty wallets. i saw stephen king walking around wearing a barrel and suspenders today. i don't even read the things
a friend is planning to read tlt and I need to resist the urge to say shit like “yeah idk Gideon’s relationship with Harrow is pretty fraught at the beginning and by the end of the first book she’s still kind of on the fence about it”
