Picked up Want by Gillian Anderson—I didn’t realize how many of you are just out there, thinking the same things I’m thinking ❤️; what an amazing collection. The temptation is there to take them face value, but the feeling of wanting to be loved, seen and adored is universal in the essays

Finished up Station Eleven last night and what a read it was. A wonderful blend of the bleak and hopeful, I wish I’d discovered it during the Pandemic.
Now on to Kingdom of Copper, even if I’m still reeling from a certain character death from book 1 😭

Moving on to Blood Over Bright Haven by M. L. Wang 🔮 today and somehow I managed to read half of it in one sitting 🙃
