    Just in case you're wondering, the genre of each book is in the brackets. I also put some trigger warnings for two of the books - "The Girl With the Louding Voice" by Abi Daré and "Yolk" by Mary H.K. Choi - as these books contain heavy themes such as rape and eating disorders. Hopefully, this helps

    The study found that 58 percent of readers were very satisfied when both parties read books, compared to 39 percent when neither party reads. Although attractiveness is subjective, the study also found that 81% of women and 77% of men believed that being a reader was attractive.

    i just finished reading ‘everything i never told you’ and it was absolutely brilliant! it pulled me out of a reading slump because it was so gripping. the descriptions of family and grief moved me to tears by the end, and it improved my understanding of what it’s like to be alienated due to your race. plus it has such a beautiful cover so it feels like a treasure to own.

I don't know if that even makes sense", hear me say that anything that you find that leads you to books that almost seem to talk to you always makes sense. And thus, it absolutely does.

I ended up finishing it in two days! You're the only CZcamsr whose videos I genuinely laugh out loud at and that translates effortlessly into your writing - you're so bloody entertaining.
