Trivia Tuesday #1

My biggest bookworm pet peeve is when other people open their books way too wide. I weep over white lines in the book's spine.

Hi, my name's Reige! I'm an avid reader, aspiring writer and atypical high school student from the Philippines. When I'm not updating my blog, I'm scribbling half-finished story plots, immersing myself in a mystery novel, or fantasizing outlandish dreams.

About me:

she/her

heterosexual

socially awkward and nerdy 15 y/o

Filipina

Scorpio

Interests:

books – especially mystery and sci-fi

writing – mostly short stories, fanfiction and poems. I also engage in journalistic writing, mostly opinion articles.

languages – I'm bilingual; in my home country, our native language is Filipino (Tagalog). I'm currently learning French and Latin.

social and humanities issues – I'm a feminist, LGBTQ+ supporter and Black Lives Matter ally. I'm an advocate for global equality, and I find international relations interesting.

2000s punk rock/emo music

Fandoms/other likes:

Star Wars

Harry Potter (proud Ravenclaw here)

The Umbrella Academy

Fall Out Boy

Panic! at the Disco

My Chemical Romance

Twenty One Pilots

I sometimes listen to other bands and artists to add to my music taste, such as Green Day, Queen, Travie McCoy, AC/DC, All Time Low, You Me at Six, Paramore, and many more.

What will I be blogging about?

It's my first time putting my hands into blogging and stepping into the Tumblr community. As an avid reader, I hope to be posting about books and reading topics. This includes book and character analysis, book recommendations, book quotes, tips and trivia, etc. My blogging content will be mainly focused on literary fiction, but I try to reach out to nonfiction too.

Other blogging FAQs:

I'll try to post as much as possible. I hope to post about two to three times a week when I'm available. Once the school year hits, I'll most probably be posting less. I accept direct messages and questions. I hope to deliver content that will inform and make you smile. If you want to know more about my blog, click here.

My dear, I will read your book.

Best believe I will not criticise the flow of words for I know they are born out of the heart. I will read despite the timeskips and flawed main couples, I will memorize your difficult pages despite their jaggedy flow.

But my dear, first you must bring me the book.

Write, my darling. The hypothetical reader in your mind is as inaccurate as one can be— for the reader that I am, all I need is words.

But you must write first, my darling. Do it for me

I'm your reader

I pretend to be ever so reserved and cold. But god; how he only told me it was okay to be human- and now I've allowed his lips to find themselves on my wounds. Goodness; how I find myself to be so easily melted.

💋

If you are so keen on hating me,

Please hate me only in the mornings.

For I know you dream of me every night,

And I would rather slit my throat every single day

than to be a nightmare to you.

Just finished this book, needless to say, I cried -a lot.
