3 things you're grateful for 🫶🏻✨

hey boundlings! i used to do this every week here but i fell off the wagon coz life got in the way and now im back again!

there are moments where we'd feel despair and nothing seems to be going our way. i hope that this thread will give you a little something to think about, and how even during the toughest times, there'll be something you can still feel grateful for. if there isn't, im sending love and hugs your way and pray that things start to look up for you. 🫶🏻

ill go first!

been struggling a lot at work and decided to throw the towel one day without securing a job. thankfully, i managed to find one during my notice period. i'm almost done with my notice and will be taking a really short break before i begin my new role! 😇
my marriage with my husband - we've went through worst times but i'm just grateful that we're in an awesome place right now 🙂‍↔️ there isn't grand gestures or big surprises, just doing life together.
my parents - they're my absolute rock and i've been feeling guilty of not spending as much time as i'd like to. this will serve as a reminder that as we're navigating and building a life of our own, our parents are also aging.

Vengeful

Victoria Schwab

Magneto and Professor X. Superman and Lex Luthor. Victor Vale and Eli Ever. Sydney and Serena Clarke. Great partnerships, now soured on the vine. But Marcella Riggins needs no one. Flush from her brush with death, she’s finally gained the control she’s always sought—and will use her new-found power to bring the city of Merit to its knees. She’ll do whatever it takes, collecting her own sidekicks, and leveraging the two most infamous EOs, Victor Vale and Eli Ever, against each other. With Marcella's rise, new enmities create opportunity--and the stage of Merit City will once again be set for a final, terrible reckoning. A super-powered collision of extraordinary minds and vengeful intentions—#1 New York Times bestselling author V. E. Schwab returns with the thrilling follow-up to Vicious.

A Tender Age

Chang-rae Lee

“Who is a greater novelist than Chang-rae Lee?”—The Los Angeles Times"He has redefined not only what it means to be American, but the fabric of the Great American Novel itself." —Jhumpa Lahiri From the Pulitzer Prize finalist, a story of guilt, innocence, and a boy on the cusp of adolescence.A spellbinding exploration of American masculinity and family dynamics as seen through the confused eyes of a prepubescent child of immigrants, A Tender Age joins the rich tradition of the American bildungsroman. The natural descendent of characters like Huckleberry Finn and Holden Caufield, Korean-American Jeon-Gi is torn between competing ideas of himself. At home, his working-class parents dote on him. Outside, he is part of a roving pack of kids with dominion over a derelict baseball field, weedy parking lot, and rusty jungle gym. Getting into and out of trouble is all-consuming. But the summer he turns eleven, he becomes embroiled in a staggering series of events reverberating far beyond himself and his family.Devastating in its emotional precision, A Tender Age captures a family and community in striking distance of the American dream, and a young person on the precipice of adult knowledge, looking at his own culpability and looking away—then thinking about it for the rest of his life.

Simon Jimenez

Two warriors shepherd an ancient god across a broken land to end the tyrannical reign of a royal family in this new epic fantasy from the author of The Vanished Birds.The people suffer under the centuries-long rule of the Moon Throne. The royal family—the despotic emperor and his monstrous sons, the Three Terrors—hold the countryside in their choking grip. They bleed the land and oppress the citizens with the frightful powers they inherited from the god locked under their palace.But that god cannot be contained forever.With the aid of Jun, a guard broken by his guilt-stricken past, and Keema, an outcast fighting for his future, the god escapes from her royal captivity and flees from her own children, the triplet Terrors who would drag her back to her unholy prison. And so it is that she embarks with her young companions on a five-day pilgrimage in search of freedom—and a way to end the Moon Throne forever. The journey ahead will be more dangerous than any of them could have imagined.Both a sweeping adventure story and an intimate exploration of identity, legacy, and belonging, The Spear Cuts Through Water is an ambitious and profound saga that will transport and transform you—and is like nothing you’ve ever read before.
