I wish there was a way to see which users’ posts you like most often. There are some days when I look at what I’ve liked and it’s predominantly from one poster or another. They are like my Tumblr soulmates in a way.

Finally reading the books! Is it wrong that I'm so looking forward to reading the sex scenes? (a byproduct of watching the television series first) 

I mainly read YA because I have a PhD in literature and I need the complexity and emotion to remain intellectually engaged, but sometimes I do like to relax with an adult book. It’s nice to rest my mind with long descriptions and philosophical digressions and to read about feelings like ambivalence and activities like elder care. I really enjoy Tom Robbins’ Jitterbug Perfume because he writes so well about vegetables before he gets to the sexy bits.

My dream day:

my guinea pigs’ vet just posted this and it is extremely Important

On the Shelves in Oxford this week you can either go Backpacking with the Saints or spend your time Living with the Stars - or both! Living with the Stars tells the fascinating story of what truly makes the human body. We are quite literally not who we were years, weeks, or even days ago. Backpacking with the Saints is an intimate narrative of backpacking alone through the wilderness as a spiritual practice.
