I need more reader friends! If you're a diehard reader, comment with a book rec and your favorite Star Wars gif.
That feeling when it's 11 pm and you've filled your online shopping carts with books you've wanted to read since you were a child but were forbidden to touch-

- The Nevermoor series, which I read in secret and still adore.
- The Land of Elyon, which taunted me from the bookshelf every week I went to the library.
- Scarlet and Ivy. Another secretly-read series (didn't finish, desperately want to).
- Darkbeast. Saw these in a magazine and was enchanted by the covers.
Plus random books by Claire Legrand (who I discovered a few days ago) because her covers are pretty.

This is why Frank Herbert is such a classic writer.

Dune Messiah has that hangover in one scene. Paul has Stilgar read up on Genghis Khan and Hitler and Stilgar looks at the totals and calls them not very impressive next to Pauls. Thats your point said out loud by the man who followed him into the jihad.

"They sell pieces of etched marble... They set the pieces out in the desert to be etched by stormsands. Sometimes they find interesting patterns in the stone... It's beautiful, but it's not art. Humans create art by their own violence, by their own volition."

My sister crocheted me a scarf and sent it in a package with a thank-you note and a sticker and everything, as if she were an Etsy seller.
It's a lovely scarf, by the way.

Celebrimbor and Narvi were best friends, change my mind.
I mean, look at the hijinks Legolas and Gimli got up to. Now imagine Tyelpë and Narvi, two crafty guys.
Imagine the sleepless nights, the hours spent in the forge losing track of time, until they drop dead and wake up a few days later to continue the same project.
Or maybe on their own, they kept jumping to the bright shiny ideas and had a bunch of unfinished projects, so together they were able to keep each other on track.
Now imagine the day they finished the Doors of Durin.
"BRO, WE DID IT."
"WE ACTUALLY DID IT, BRO."
"WE FINISHED SOMETHING."
"LOOK AT US."

Giving yourself limited screentime goes a long way to beating doomscrolling.
I'm a big fan of the Beluga YouTube channel (@Beluga1000). So, when I get home tired from school or work, I'll make myself change my clothes, eat dinner, and do a chore, then I'll sit on the couch and watch five @Beluga1000 videos.
