THANK YOU. omg the movie not only had bloody racist undertones but they felt for some reason they had to add DAMN ROMANTIC TENSION TO IT??? JUST WHY???

i love this and a thousand splendid suns so much but i will never ever be able to read them both ever again because both antagonists of both novels enraged me so much 💔

alice hoffman, neil gaiman, and haruki murakami.

the 1st because she always finds magic and mystery in every tale she spins, the 2nd because he understands that good triumphs over evil and nothing is ever straightforward, and the 3rd because in his world, anything and everything can happen.

anne of green gables 😭❤️ those books are like a damn warm hug omg. years later they’re still the ones i revisit frequently
