i just wanted to come on & say thank you to PB + its creators + the wonderful community on here. i joined PB in early august because (1) discussion-based book space sounded amazing & (2) i desperately needed a distraction while waiting for my bar exam results 😵‍💫

during bar prep i only got through 2 books in three months, i couldn’t listen to music for months because i was scared that lyrics would take up “too much space” in my head, i didn’t dare do anything that wasn’t prep-work. i took the exam in july & then curled up & cried about it for a week before i decided i needed to do something to pass the time until results released, so i decided to start reading again

yesterday, 9/22, i got my results: i passed the bar!!!!!!!!!! i am officially baileyisbooked, esquire 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 (obligatory nothing-i-say-on-here-is-associated-with-my-job-or-license-and-is-my-own-opinion blah blah blah) 👩‍⚖️⚖️🍾🤍

i am getting sworn in on friday & i am just so grateful & relieved. i am a first gen student for both college & law school, so this really was a crazy push for me & my family is thrilled 😭🫶

i just wanted to say thank you to everyone, especially jennifer & lucy for creating a space like this. PB really saved my sanity for the last 8ish weeks while i waited. everyone has been wonderful, i have been reading books out of my normal range & loving them, & getting to talk to fantastic people about excellent books. it’s just been such a bright spot in what has otherwise been a high anxiety / dread period.

so yeah, that’s kind of it. thank yall for the work you put in & thank you everyone for the discussions & posts & recs & comments & quests & everything else. i hope everyone is having a great week & reading a 5-star read ❤️‍🩹🫂📖🥹
