I am very pleased with you; if only you weren’t too far away for me to show you properly how pleased I am ! Franz Kafka, 1916.

Emily Henry confirms that Alex Nilsen will be reading a Gus Everett novel in the scene that recreates People We Meet on Vacation’s book cover in the movie.

Grooming, and the extent of psychological abuse that results from it, needs to be discussed more because this is essentially victim blaming. Everything that happened in that book is exactly what a groomer would do and how a grooming victim would react in such a situation.

OMG YAY

I AM READY

gonna log out and read I had enough of here for the day 🫡

i am in dire need of some generosity 🙏 i was in the ER for severe heat exhaustion because i don’t have AC & there’s a heatwave where i live. i’m poor, i can’t work for a few days, and i’ve incurred some staggering medical bills :( any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!

hotter take: a reason why romance books constantly get hated on / associated with ‘slop’ / have difficult to please criteria in reading communities is because of (internalized) misogyny

I completely forgot to update my June reads thread the last few days 😭

hi everyone i was just left this and wanted to post it so everyone is aware!

here’s some of the posts btw

How you engage with books WHEN sensitive topics are being discussed IS very important. Victim blaming or shaming a fictional character that’s a victim of abuse just shows your opinions on that matter & how you would react IRL to someone that is experiencing or has experienced it

anywayyyyy I literally said all I had to say on this flawless book discourse…..if any one of you wanna be victim-blamers then go ahead because I’ve lost the energy, go ahead and let everyone know victims aren’t safe with you 🫡🫡🫡 gonna go be productive 🫶🏼🥹
