If so (or even if you haven't), could you please recommend any similar books with themes of consumerism, the detrimental effects of technology, fear (particularly a fear of death), mortality, & obsession with appearances (physical & otherwise - more like obsession with how one is perceived by others)? I have been searching to no...
Ask Box!
I promise I will be getting around to all requests/questions tonight! I’ve been pretty shaken up due to a shooting at work (I’m fine, promise!) But I haven’t done really… anything. And thank God it was my last weekend working there anyway.
Also, a new theme should be coming! I miss making my own and I have some organizational ideas for this place! Also, I’m still...

I’m curious as to how it works and/or how simple it is to do so. My siblings are getting kindle fires for their birthdays and I’m sure library reads would be more simple than alternatives for finding them books.

Sorry for my absence!
