In Romanian we say “library mouse” (șoarece de bibliotecă) when we refer to bookworms and I think this is one of the sweetest things ever because every single time when I like someone who reads, I start to call them “little mouse” (șoricel) and they get instantly an adorable aura.

For anyone who’s ever wondered who they’d be in a 19th century novel, the wait is over: I put together a 19th Century Character Trope Generator!

Favorite post ever.
I love these hard, though I am a tiny bit sad there are no humans in the primate poster. :D

You can always start again. Clean out your social media. Create a new account for your new taste in music. Study or work in a new city. Start socialising with new people. Choose a new signature scent and style and purge the outdated parts of yourself. If you don’t like where you’re at, but you don’t know what to do about it - try starting again.

Books don’t necessarily cure sadness but they are dependable and consoling. They don’t zap away the problems in your life but they take you into another world where your problems become so much lighter. I really think I’d go mad without books.
