So rude to not make this a full-length novel

I identify as the gargoyle tbh

This is so fun! I’m having a great time. This whole family is so interesting. Lots of secrets, I’m sure. I kinda like meeting a whole group of new characters at once.

If anyone likes this book and hasn’t seen the movie Ready or Not, well you should 😆

This year has been really tough in my personal life (although Pagebound has been a joy amidst the bs) and one of the things I've had to grapple with is my relationship to anger. As women, we're socialized to be understating, empathetic, and forgiving, often to our own detriment. Instead of feeling angry, many of us (myself very much included) tend to feel hurt or sad. I've found so much inspiration from women in literature who embrace their anger and act on it, even if it's in "unhinged" ways.

My therapist asked me to read "The Dance of Anger: A Woman's Guide to Changing the Patterns of Intimate Relationships" and I HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking to tap into their anger and use it in healthy ways. Anger is such an important emotion to be in tune with; it lets us know when our boundaries have been crossed and when we're being treated unfairly.

This quest means so much to me and really feels like a personal quest as well; I hope others find just as much inspiration from these books as I have.

as always i finish an Ali book wishing it was longer😩

HOW did she manage to make me blush giggle and swoon all in less than 100 pages???

I am so excited to read this! It's advertised as ACOTAR meets Caraval, and I liked both of them, so expectations are high 👏👏👏

Perfect for getting me out of my academic reading and into something easy and relaxing
