Intersectional feminist, mom of two. I love dogs, food, animation, and well crafted stories with interestingly imperfect characters.

Kip, why not let him pay off your student loans.
Writing wasn't very good, especially the dialogue. Just kind of stilted and unnatural. Also the crux of the conflict just felt really shallow. Like, i like when there is some amount of friction, but they were just so super in love so quickly that the conflict then didn't feel believable.
Idk the show did a better job of conveying Scott's interiority tbh. I skimmed the epilogue. This happened with heated rivalry as well, once family was introduced it was so cheesy. So I'm learning that i prefer when Reid writes established relationships and when one of them is going through a devastating mental health crisis lol.

Very disappointed and jump scared to see the forward by John Lasseter. Reading him praise Miyazaki’s stories of brave, wonderful, complex heroines knowing how Lasseter treated the women creatives he worked with in real life makes me feel physically ill.

I’m just looking for more people to follow who hold this belief. I recently made a comment on here on a quest that we as a community shouldn’t platform HP because of the harm JKR is doing to trans people like me and I’m being called a book burner for this when I never called for book burning. JKR enacts politically violence and has assaulted a trans woman (took upskirt photos of this woman) and I’m tired of being told I’m a book burner when I ask people not to platform for that. Her money she earns from HP is being used to hurt trans people like me. I just need other people to follow on here with the same beliefs because I’m tired and feeling ostracized in the book community for believing Trans lives matter more than a stupid book

my husband and I will be welcoming a little one early 2027, and since she'll be our first I'm on the hunt for book recs 📚
We've gotten a few board books so far, but with so many options out there I'm slightly overwhelmed - so if you have any children's books you've come across and enjoyed, I'd happily take their titles 🥰 I'd love to raise a diverse little reader!
edit: THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!! This is such a fantastic collection of recommendations, I'm writing them all down for either now or the future. PB is truly the best community 🥰💕

1moving books around months in monthly plan
I was hoping the monthly plan feature could be modified so books could be dragged to different months if there's no hope in hell of them getting read in such and such month (kind of like pins on pinterest). I saw that moving them around in the month is being added, but I'm thinking of dragging a book from the aug month to oct, etc.

I didn't even like the first book (loved the show tho) and I stayed up almost all night to read this whole thing (kept getting caught by my kids).
The fandom is nuts and I'm only a little bit aware of various discourse going on, but aside from how crazy it is to attack the author for how she writes her own characters, I still don't understand the uproar over Shane in this. He felt the same, a little clueless but not like a horrible person. I really appreciated having more of Ilya's perspective and I did find it to be so heartbreaking but a really good portrayal of depression. It all felt very believable and a natural progression of their characters.
Idk, it was the perfect mix of anguish and resolution for me! I actually legit wanna buy this to reread and now I'm like maybe I need to reread Heated Rivalry? And the rest of the series? Maybe my heart grew three sizes, idk.
