    What would drive a woman to not call 911 as her husband dies of a heart attack? Willie tries to unravel that question while moving forward with her newfound freedom, but she soon realizes it wasn’t only her husband who has an interest in keeping her down.

    The more I learn about the 'craft' of writing, the harder it is to actually write 😭😬🤔

    I think I just found my new favourite first line in a book “The river flowed both ways.” 💙

    I wish people were more upset about police brutality than they are about curse words 🤷🏽‍♀️

    This book! What an emotional, gripping read. I was invested in every single character. Perfectly executed.

    I hate when people say 'shitty first drafts.' I love my first drafts because.... they exist. That's it. A first draft is such an accomplishment. It may lack polish and refinement, but by no means is it shitty.

    Ok I had to cheat and use a screenshot because my B & W kindle doesn’t do this cover justice. What a emotional roller coaster of a novel. Utterly breathtaking. 5 big stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    I love it when the right book comes along at the right time. I’d been in a reading slump and this story yanked me right out of it. A propulsive, engrossing read. Can’t wait for next book!

    “We don’t need another novel about [x]” might be the most infuriating, idiotic, and anti-intellectual idea about writing that crosses my TL on the regular. Just—stop.

    Funny because, as woman, I am 100% confident I know exactly where the line is between acceptable and inappropriate behaviour towards men. I don't know whether to laugh or cry that they can't figure this out.

    Even before COVID, we were staring at a black hole of data. What we do know tells us it's misunderstood: 56% of men aged 18 to 34 agree that “it’s hard to tell where ‘the line’ is these days” between acceptable & inappropriate behaviour. The older the men, the higher the number.

    A stunning, perfectly executed, manipulative little book. As a mother, the book got to me on so many levels. What a way to end the reading year!! Can’t wait to read what has in store for me next.

    😳😳😳

    The Queen's Gambit has been viewed by 62 million people. The producer, Allan Scott, is on BBC News talking about how it took 30 years, with 9 rewrites, and every studio he showed it to said that no one would be interested in chess. PLEASE PERSEVERE WITH THAT THING YOU'RE MAKING
