i LOVED this. Very cute, very fun. Really having a good time reading these children’s classics that I never read as an adult. It’s really fun for me. Love the BFG. Sophie is so cute I love her. I’m so glad

emotional reflective sad medium-paced
she really was just a young girl …  with a complicated relationship with her mother and her body and her sexuality. She was so articulate and well spoken, I was nothing like that at 13. 

happy late pride month, Anne Frank

what a rare thing in this world to get to read the book before watching the movie adaptation! I’d never seen the movie before and wanted to read it before I did, and boy was it fun. Also really fun to read after finishing Alice Madness Returns! I understand some of the references now :’)

This was cute and fun :)
