threads from the society
reader brainrot, smutty confessions, and unhinged kindle devotion in real time.
sundays are for letting fiction ruin me a little & pretending it’s self care.
i don’t “wake up early” – i simply regain consciousness and reach for my kindle.
decorating my kindle like it’s an altar to all the fictional men who will never text back.
“just one more chapter” is how i time travel from 9pm to 2am in a single blink.
reader chemistry
for the reader who loves one book boyfriend too much
the lead obsession, then two more books with dangerously similar energy.
