i hope this year will be a good year.

one of my resolutions is to stay off of social media this year. i’m tired of how damaging it is for my mental health & i want to start to limit my screen time. i spend hours on this device and it’s draining me. so, yes. i will have deleted my social media’s. i’ve kept this & substack as my main uses. at least then i will be somewhat productive.

we went to waterstones today (me & my boyfriend), and we bought two books. well, we got three. sam has had his eye on one he spotted in w. h. smith for a while now, so he got that as soon as we got to the train stations. we dashed down liverpool one & headed straight for waterstones. as soon as we got there, we were welcomed with the warm smell of fresh, new books & the hum of coffee from the upstairs cafe. i had taken my time trying to look for a book i’d wanted. originally, my plan was to get one of the listed below. however i couldn’t find the one i wanted the most & grabbed virgin suicides instead. i don’t mind, i’ve been meaning to read it for a while. i’m super excited to read it! anyways, we came home, watched football & i took a nap. splendid day. i cannot complain.

i read twenty-seven books last year. i’m proud of myself. i read books i enjoyed, i read some books that i did not enjoy as well. i have found my ultimate taste in books, as well as some of my new all-time favourites that i still think about. i’ve added the pictures of my reading data for 2025 if anyone’s interested.
