Hi, I’m Grace. Just wanted to introduce myself. I am a total book nerd, and I will talk about it for hours if you let me. I am a tea enthusiast as I’ll only drink coffee if it is mostly cream and milk. I’m a psych major so I care a lot about mental health, and I love to help others sort through their problems. I am a fan of all things fantasy, and Bridgerton as of late. 😂 I have a bookstagram as well, which I do most of my posting on, but I was intrigued by this platform and so I am trying it out as well.

Thank you for reading a little bit about me!

I have been working on this, being okay with not always having constant productivity. It’s a struggle for sure, but I want to try and practice this kind of self love.

I keep seeing this culture of “making sure i don’t waste time and be as productive as possible all the time every day” and i think it’s so incredibly toxic

what’s wrong with spending time watching silly videos on youtube or napping or just even staring outside the window? doing something considered  “unproductive” isn’t a bad thing. just because you don’t see a tangible result after something doesn’t make it meaningless. and even if it *were* meaningless, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that

we put too much pressure on ourselves to show results, be productive, do do do do do all the time. and a lot of times we forget that it’s okay to stop. take a breath, take a break, just be

Review: They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera - 🌟🌟🌟🌟

These last few days I read They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera. This book was a little different from my usual reads, as the ending comes even before you get to the first page.

I was suspended in a belief of hope about how the ending may have been predetermined but would somehow change in the end. This was obviously moot, but I still had a hope, a hope that I hold for any of the characters in books I read. You always want to hope for the good ending, but I'm not so sure this was a bad ending.

We always want to believe that death is the ultimate bad ending, that our main characters lose everything they worked so hard to obtain. However, with our main characters here, I really felt like they made a difference in their lives, and others. They fell in love, and while that wasn't really the point of being last friends, they still lived just a little bit more by finding each other. It was easy to see they were meant to be.

While death was the inevitable end, we are left to wonder whether they will be the exceptions, even though their lives meant more because they lived that last day to the fullest with the knowledge of what is on the cover of their book.

I loved Mateo's character, and how we saw that even though in some ways he had been a hermit, we also saw that he was caring about everyone, even those who had wronged him. He was the sort of selfless we see from young people that die unexpectedly, the reason we ask "why?" whenever it comes to those deaths.

Death is something we all have a hard time with, even if just a little bit. Even acceptance comes at a cost, so for a book to so plainly display death on the cover is commendable. Death becomes a common theme here, and somehow that makes it mean so much more.
