last library haul of the year! poetry and welsh-language fiction ^__^

(plus a kitty notebook I got in waterstones...)

#booksky
The spines of four books. The top is white and gold with black text and says Leonard Cohen. The second is white and light green with black text and reads Sylvia Plath: Ariel. The third is red with white text and reads Heiddwen Tomos: O'r Cysgodion. The bottom one is dark with white text and reads Heiddwen Tomos: Dŵr yn yr Afon. A notebook whose cover is made up of black and white cartoon cats.

this is the first time in YEARS she's settled down on me 😭😭😭 angelangelangelangel
In the centre, in focus, is a head-on view of a black and white tuxedo cat with green eyes. She is lying down but only her head and chest are visible. In the background, out of focus slightly, is a living room - you can see a brown sofa and a light wall on the left and dark furniture and a window on the right

This year's Wrapped... that's the most music I've listened to since like 2019 😅
A screenshot from Spotify Wrapped showing my yearly overview. The top half has a picture of a band, five men standing together in dark clothes. The bottom half lists the stats. The top artists are Kids In Glass Houses, Lady Gaga, Marina, L S Dunes, and The Amity Affliction. The top songs are Abracadabra, Caramel, Butterfly, Little White Lies, and Holy Hell. It says I listened to 16,452 minutes of music and that my top genre was emo.

About halfway through Feminisms: A Global History (Lucy Delap) (the references take up a good 50 pages at the end so the % is off ). Pretty informative and very accessibly written for a noob but it's a bit more UK/America/western world centred than I was expecting #booksky
A screenshot from the website Storygraph. The background is black. On the left is an image of a book cover: Feminisms - A Global History by Lucy Delap. The book cover's top half is light blue and the bottom half has dark green, white, purple, and pink stripes with an effect like paint dripping. On the right is some white text providing information about the book such as its title, author, page length, and publication date.

I'm thinking about lifestyle-related goals to work on next year, things that have been limited by my mental health. I have a rough list and I'm actually looking forward to the future :)
A screenshot of text listing tasks/goals to work on. They involve restarting therapy, getting a worker to help with housing and accessible employment, going to the pool, taking the train, starting violin lessons, and going to the library

A meme. The main picture is of two men shaking hands, and there are two crossed-out photos of a third man in the lower corners. The text at the top reads: Friendship ended with Mudasir. Now Salman is my best friend

A neat Internet Archive find: Anna Karenina in Russian, adapted for learners! I'm looking forward to going through this, even with my poor Russian it should be easier than reading the full thing in English lol

My family's copy of Crime and Punishment has a nice cover + it's got some illustrations! I started reading it last night :)

I've never read Dostoyevsky + I'm surprised how easy the language is (tho it may be bc of the translation). For comparison I'm struggling with Sense + Sensibility 😅

A large hardback book in held in someone's left hand. The cover is mostly black and white, aside from a red stripe on the left, and shows a man in a hat and coat holding an axe.

in the name of Fun and Whimsy I've been using a fluffy pusheen backpack for the last few years, but I've finally decided to replace it w/ something more age appropriate (....and waterproof). I'll give it to a charity shop down the road ^-^

(bag pictured)
A stock photo of a light brown fluffy backpack. On the front pocket are fluffy ears and dark brown details in the shape of a cat's face and whiskers.

SHE'S SO GENTLE AND SWEET I WANT TO CRY WITH LOVE 😭😭🥰🥰😭😭🥰🥰
Slightly blurry because of the camera quality. A closeup photo of a cat's face and shoulders. She is a tuxedo cat with a black face with white whiskers and a white front. Her eyes are open and light green. In the background is a light grey wall and a little bit of a dark bed headboard is visible on the right, as well as a black LED lamp on the left.
