Readerly?

An ethical, independent alternative to Goodreads.

- They make book discovery better for readers and fairer for authors by challenging the ever-growing influence Amazon has over our reading choices.

- Their mission is to help readers discover great books and support the creators, publishers, and booksellers who nourish the writer-to-reader chain.

Ending the generic 5-star rating system

It’s 2021, and the world is still using a 5-star rating system to grade highly subjective work. Too many excellent books go undiscovered because they weren’t written for the majority and received below the dreaded 3.5 star average. 

They treat readers as individuals, tailoring the platform to your unique tastes. Instead of giving books a single rating, we show the percentage of people similar to you who recommended the book.

hey. just fyi. i know dark academia is pretentious and that’s part of the point but. just because someone isn’t passing their classes doesn’t mean they don’t like academia. some people are just bad in school. some people have to work. college just doesn’t work for some people. some people are disabled. that doesn’t mean they don’t care about or enjoy learning. that’s classist, ableist, and elitist.

When Eric Forman said, "If you can see a future without me and that doesn't break your heart, then we're not doing what I thought we were doing here." I felt that shit.

As much as I am a academic, sometimes I just need to read fairysmut and just not classics with deep meanings but these unrealistic mythical worlds where I feel like me soul belongs. Where I can fight all the important fights I never finde in reality. I can escape the fact, that I am an ordinary human and belive that I was born to safe the world.

this could be us but you playin🙄

Leda and the Swan, by Jean-Léon Gérôme (1895).

My essay tip

Write as much nonsense about the text and make it all link. But make the nonsense link, then start getting off topic before jumping back to your point and expanding again. There, you have a page of writing. Now do that more times with different points and eventually you’ll have an essay.

I literally love when people stalk my blog, I just think, “Damn. Some people actually care about my little sprees of bullshit.”
