The book is referencing women needing their husband’s APPROVAL 🤢 to get birth control + open their own bank account, then to the suffragette movement, stating “Had we waited for men to give us the vote, it never would have happened. We had to demand it for ourselves and do the work to see it through.” So many points in this book are making me realize how little we’ve actually progressed since then…

“So was their reverence for the written word. Babcock’s was less a bookstore, Margaret decided, than a highly curated collection of books that Helen and Edwin passionately wanted others to read.”

If I owned a bookstore, this is how I’d want it to be described 🥹

Beautiful weather and reading outside is the best way to spend today 💕

The girls and their antics are bringing me so much joy right now 🥰😂

This is so stinkin cute so far and is the perfect pallet cleanser ☺️

About halfway through the tandem read of the Ruinous Love Trilogy, and I’m having a great time! I highly recommend reading this series this way 🤭

My favorite part tbh 😍🥹😭

Stopping here to go back to Butcher & Blackbird for chapters 13-15!

Doing the tandem read for the whole trilogy, so stopping here to read chapters 1-11 of Scythe & Sparrow then I’ll be back!

I want to finish this soooo bad but real life is forcing me to pause here 😭 I’m finishing this tonight!

One character states he’s “almost thirty years old” but earlier in the book, page 19 to be exact, the main character describes him as “32 and graying at the temples.” It’s such a small error but how many eyes does a book cross before it’s published, and no one catches things like this? 🙄

I fear I’m so bored and this is a challenge to finish 😬🫣

Starting this literally just to try anything to get out of my mood reading slump

Stepping out of my usual genres to switch things up, and so far I’m enjoying this. It’s been a quick and easy read so far, and tbh I have no idea where the twists and turns are going so I’m just along for the ride 🙂‍↔️
