Coming at you from 34 years old… you never feel like a “grown up” - at least I haven’t. I always thought I would have this moment of “arrival” but it has yet to come 😅! I’m also such a home girl, i’m always happiest at home with my parents. Love your reading recs as always. Happy Birthday 🎉

Oh, I would love there to be a 'weird' section of the bookstore!
I'm 41 but honestly I still feel about 16 🤷

Happy belated birthday 😊 I am looking forward to your thoughts on Moon Witch, Spider King! I will be starting Perdido Street Station soon based on your recommendation because I need another book to take a hold of me like Black Leopard Red Wolf did.

Ah, I hope you love Perdido street station!

Happy (belated) birthday!! 25 was fun for me (I’m 26 so not too far off), but I’m like your sister in that I always wanted to be a grown up! But the older I get the more I realize that being a grown up is all a lie hahaha

[@jenniwhatsbookin]

Also I hope you enjoy moon witch, spider king! I read it last fall and liked it but not as much as black leopard, red wolf-still really excited for the final installment though (whenever it may come)

[@pagesofcarolyn]

@@jenniwhatsbookinyes! I can’t wait to read this one. Thank you for the bday wishes ❤

[@beckycanty]

I can't wait to see what you think of the robin hobb books. I've had my eye on them for awhile.
Also, absolutely obsessed with the denim dress! you look lovely in it

[@pagesofcarolyn]

Thank you ❤

That's an adult mistake! Don't get trapped - you can always consider yourself a child. In fact, I believe adulthood is boring and sad because people forget about being a child sometimes, enjoying their time without hypothetical problems, seeing the world with kindness and simplicity, laugh as there were no tomorrow. Please don't grow up 💜

I love this ❤
