I forgot to update this at the start.

This is for my Goodreads Award challenge: it won the best poetry book in 2015.

"My girl
always talks about herself
like she's a graveyard,
a place for other people to come and bury what they've lost.
As much as I want to tell her that she's wrong,
I still find myself crouching in her earth
with flowers I've brought for someone else."

This fits a lot of NA books I know.🙃

And now I know, but still, WHY?

Okay but like why is this title in the LGBTQIA section of netgalley I DON'T GET IT.

I am loving how this book shows the different ways people deal with grief.

"No." She said it lightly, still kissing him.
He pushed the fly button out of its hole and pulled down the zipper. Daphne jumped back, zipped up and buttoned.
"Whats wrong?" Legitimate confusion paraded across Brandon's face.
Daphne didn't need to explain the meaning of the word No to someone who spoke English."

"he finally realized that no meant the opposite of yes and gave up."

no means no

I am glad to say I am getting to know awesome women in this book I had never heard about before.

The first book for my readthon this week!

Challenge: Read a book with less than 1,000 reviews. Considering this has 5 reviews it fits.

Can someone write a pirate book based on Ching Shih? I WILL READ IT thank you.

I mean Asian, Badaas, Lady Pirate who was the most successful pirate ever? WHAT DON'T I KNOW THIS. When you tell me, pirates, I immediately go to Johny deep. I am ashamed.

"There is something about a woman who can twist a man's head off in the heat of a battle that inspired everyone to remark loudly and frequently about her beauty and grace."

IF THIS ISN'T ACCURATE FOR EVERY FANTASY WITH A FEMALE LEAD, I don't know what it is.

This is not serious at all just putting that out there, so you don't get dissapointed if you were expecting well searched and deep historically accurate stuff.

I am taking this more as a humor book that came to be a bit informative.

"...one Christian critic called her " a sex-crazed whore who sings of her own wantonness", which also happens to be my Tinder bio."

HOLY CRAP I AM NOT GONNA SURVIVE TO THE END OF THE BOOK. I AM LAUGHING TOO MUCH.

"It can be hard to work who did or didn't bone thousand of years ago, or indeed last weekend, but for now let's say it happened. This is my book, and everyone gets laid."

"There will be no more mentions of Donald Trump in this book, because, frankly, I can't be bothered. So just forget he exists for a while. It will be like a nice little vacation. His tweets can't find you here. Unless you are reading this on an iPad. In which case, you can't be helped."

"When you hear a story of a woman who lived her life that was 100 percent pure and good, you're probably missing the best bits. The nasty bits."

Me: hmm interesting.

"Maybe she got her tits out. Maybe she slept around. Maybe she stole. Maybe she betrayed someone, or maybe she was betrayed. Maybe she was pure and good but made a few mistakes..."

Me: YEAH I NEED THIS.

I am trying to organize my shelves. So I was wondering which type of shelves you usually click on/ are interested in, in others people's profiles.

For example, I will always go to shelves like favorite books, tear-jerking ones, new adult.

THAT JUST BECAME ONE OF MY FAVORITE BOOK SCENES EVER.

1. I NEED TAG'S STORY LIKE RIGHT NOW.

2. WHY is this so emotional? LIKE MY HEART CAN ONLY TAKE SOME.

"I'd never needed anyone. Not really. And I'd never said those words to anyone. "I need you" felt like "I love you", and it scared me. I felt like breaking one fo my laws."

So. i just finished a heartbreaking book and I am continuing another book that is already breaking my heart.

CONCLUSION:

I LOVE BREAKING MY HEART.

RIP

and I will probably need cpr soon.

MY
HEART
IS
SHATTERING.

AUGUST.

💔

I wanna cry of how unhealthy this is. Like is breaking my heart. At the same time I can relate but is frustrating me.

I would recommend this to people who love the foxhole court books. It has somewhat of a similar feeling, although better writing for sure.

By giving this recommendation you can already deduce how I am feeling about this.💔

I FEEL I AM GOING INSANE. and i am still so confused.

This me trying to protect Moses for all the bad things:

Did you hear that?
That was the sound of my heart falling for yet another fictional character. Moses is so precious. 💘💘

I tell you. When a prologue makes an impression on me is because is gonna be good.

Have you ever felt secretly happy about the death of a well-loved character? (Don't spoil me though hahaha)
