I Don't Believe In Superstitions But When I Saw The Moon Spilling Its Bloody Light Over The Water, I

I don't believe in superstitions but when I saw the moon spilling its bloody light over the water, I could almost understand what the ancients must've felt like to see a blood-soaked pearl watching their every move

I've been thinking about books a lot. I always tell people I don't have a favorite, or even a handful of favorites, but now I think that my favorites must be the ones I continue to think about the most. So here are the 10 books that have stuck with me the most, in no particular order:

The Song of Achilles by Madeleine Miller

The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

Uprooted by Naomi Novik

Kindred by Octavia Butler

Wolf Hall & Bring up the Bodies by Hilary Mantel

Doomsday Book by Connie Willis

Tell the Wolves I'm Home by Carol Rifka Brunt

Salvage the Bones by Jesmyn Ward

The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones

Books that explore the intricacies of the human psyche are my jam. I love reading books that contain passages so deep and understanding of the way you tick that you have to put the book down and breathe for a moment because mere ink from the pen of a person who lived and died centuries before you just ripped your innards out for all the world to gaze at

Places That I've Seen Several Times in My Dreams

-A creepy old hotel that gives me The Backrooms vibes with a fancy red carpet and dim lighting + I'm always accompanied by a dog for some reason

-A cramped wooden house/cabin with harsh yellow lights and the creepy feeling that you are being watched

-A park where it always seems like it had been raining a few moments ago

-A place that seems like a combination of a dilapidated building and Hogwarts that gives off gothic and dark academia vibes

-My old school during Christmastime

-A dilapidated mall with a working cinema

"Love is what makes us human" Wrong, my ability to write poetry about the moon is what makes me human

Sometimes I wish that people would learn the difference between sex-repulsion and sex-negativity
