someone please take me on bookstore dates, and talk with me about books, and our futures and aspirations, and then at the end we exchange our favorite books with each other, and drive home listening to music.
it’s been nearly two weeks since master’s ended and i’ve enjoyed taking things slow and filling my time with bookstores, drinking iced teas in the sun, and being in cafés
I was at the bookstore the other day, staring longingly at the French version of Iron Widow, when my dad came up to me and asked what I was looking at. I made him read the blurb and he asked if I had read it and if it was good. When I said yes he said “okay let’s buy it”
Cut to today, we were talking on the phone and he told me “oh by the way, I finished your book with the Chinese people. It was good, really good actually. Is there more?”. I cannot describe to you how happy that made me
