What I’m reading rn:

One of the best books 💙 REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Anyone else obsessed with her new song "Free" or just me? 💃🎶 REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Autumn gang, raise your 🙋‍♀️ REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 This is referencing a Mark Twain quote, but I hadn't heard of it until I read this sequel to The Handmaid's Tale ❤️ I need to read more of both authors! REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This applies to, like, everything you learn as a kid... Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, the fantasy that someday you'll be able to buy a house and raise a family on one salary... 😬
