  • Bad books deserve consequences

    Does anyone chuck there books when they suck? I hated this one book soooo much i threw it at a wall while sitting in a little nook type area, mind you i was in a semi public place so a couple people have asked if it was my book and i would say ā€œyes it isā€ some picked it up for me and gave it to me i said ā€œthank you so muchā€ then chucked it again once they left. Ive thrown books and punched books and once drop kicked a book. I hate hurting books but these ones deserved it. Am i crazy or do other people do this too?

  • Reading is Pain, am I right?

    What's some weird boom related pain you get?

    Idk if that happens to others but my left hand, which holds one side of the book open, gets sore and tense after a while. I think I bend my wrist in a way it doesn't like and even my fingers feel tense. Anyone else?

    Any other books related pain?

  • Hard covers vs soft covers

    I need to ask does anyone actually like hard covers? I love soft covers because there easier to read and comfier in my opinion, however hard covers look good on shelves and decorations. Still rather soft personally, what do you think?

    So far this kinda reads as a someone trying to be really edgy and cool and aloof in their writing and i don’t know if that was on purpose or if that’s just Jennette’s writing style.

    For the most part, this is what it says it is supposed to be. It's not quite a murder mystery, and not quite a heist either. If you want a quick read about women scamming society during the Gilded Age, then this fits the bill. I think the premise and setting are more interesting than the plot itself. Something about the way the plot unfolded left a lot to be desired, and I think it was mainly because of the characters. They're not as fleshed out as I was hoping them to be. I did enjoy the side characters and the found family formed. The book touches on topics such as greed, feminine rage, social justice, societal divisions and class distinctions, but it doesn't really go beyond surface level. I think it would have made for a stronger read had it explored such themes in depth (and also not in a somewhat hypocritical way, specifically what happens in the end re Alice). Overall, it's an easy, uncomplicated read to pass time.
