Misconceptions drive Persuasion. In one telling use of the title word near the novel's end, 'persuasion' becomes a synonym for misunderstanding. Meeting Captain Wentworth at the White Hart, Anne recalls how, at the previous day's encounter, "the same unfortunate persuasion, which had hastened him away from the concert room, still governed".

Trying to diversify my reading and bring some non-fiction in, and figured a deep dive into Jane Austen would be the best way to do it 🤷‍♀️

for reasons wretched and divine by penny_loaf

Okay so I really love time loop fics and I absolutely adored this Kanthony themed take on the trope. It's the way there's such a big range in emotion for both of them that makes the happily ever after feel so deserved.

Also, this is the new Bridgerton fanfiction quote background that I'll be sticking with. I wanted to stick with the Bridgerton blue idea as a good mnemonic.

Mrs.Totham was such a nice old thing, even if she was a necromancer engaged in dread communion with some ancient wizarding demon trapped within the skeleton of a mouse.

Hippogriff Homewrecking by mightbewriting

The devil works hard, but Dramione writers work harder. What else can explain the breadth and depth of scenarios that they dream up for the Draco/Hermione pair - including in this case, a story where Hermione is a Hippogriff homewrecker.

I honestly love fluffier fanfics like these because the Harry Potter fandom just lends itself so well to the more absurd premises.

Last- Fix Her Up by Tessa Bailey

Current- Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens

Next - The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner

Just wanted to try a new way to post about the books I read. Going through these three, I'm covering the main three genres I tend to read.

Q. What genres do you like to read?

"I need money.

That's it.

I don't think these girls belong at a fat camp. Nobody does."

Okay so, Eat Your Heart Out is a horror satire book set at a fat camp.

The premise of this book, where the fat camp is creating zombies - was pretty much perfect. I loved how the book handled the conversation about weight and how it never made their characters be defined by being a fat character(?).

That said, a lot of this book was pure action, and a lot of the characters arc's suffers from this? The characters don't have much time to be fleshed out before they either die - the characters never subvert the tropes that they're defined as in the beginning of the book.

Q: Have you read books that take place in treatment centres/camps? How do you feel about those settings?
