This is set in a University. Olive is getting her phd and her friend really likes her ex but won’t go for him because Olive dated him. So Olive decided to fake date Adam. Shenanigans ensue and you can guess what happens. I really do loved this book. Adam was grumpy but I loved him. Olive was funny and sweet. Highly recommend it

I needed a pick me up after the last couple books I’ve read and this was perfect! It gave me all the feels!! It was nice to learn more about Professor McGonagall and Lupin. J.K. Rowling gives us a more in-depth look, a mini-history if you will, of a few of the beloved characters from the Harry Potter stories. This Is Such a short book that I am not sure if it can be added to the number of the books read in the year, or to a challenge.
From my childhood, I’ve been an avid reader and so, last year when I started struggling with a few health issues, my grandfather gifted me a copy of #HealYourBody by #LouiseHay. Yet, the book languished on my shelf until a few months ago, when I was hospitalized for medical supervision after suffering from an anxiety attack. Eventually, I was diagnosed with a set of medical issues, all of which have established links to human stress levels.
Coincidentally, this book too is based on a similar premise and reads, as a kind of encyclopedia where you can look up any specific health problem and its probable mental cause alongwith a suggested “healing affirmation” to use as a remedy. But what gives it that sensitive human touch is the description of the author’s personal battle against cancer, including her reliance on alternative medicines in the form of affirmations for holistic healing.
After I came back home from the hospital,I ensured, I read the entire book and could find many parallels between my own illness and it’s probable psychological reasoning. Luckily for me, I actually implemented the author’ suggestions and remodelled my thought process to the extent, that in the last 3- 4 months, I have repeated a few affirmations every day without fail.
Today, I am in a much better space both mentally and physically, as this book helped me deal with psychological factors that triggered my illnesses. But every medical condition may not necessarily be linked to stress levels and therefore, one must refrain from considering it as the ultimate solution for a patient in pain. At the same time, it can be of help to anyone suffering through any physical ailments and looking for adjunctive treatment options.

Chilling books for a dark rainy days
I live in the UK, and it’s been raining every day this week. If you’re anything like me, you’ll enjoy these atmospheric books to read while you’re curled up in your warm bed, it’s dark outside, and the rain and wind are tapping against your window. (ig: @allie.writes)
hookup culture has men enjoying 100% orgasms while women only manage to orgasm 7% of the time
Relevant quotes from the full study:
“Research suggests that women may set the bar for satisfactory sex quite low - specifically, the absence of pain and degradation rather than the presence of pleasure and orgasm.”
[Regarding men being more likely to engage in manual clitoral stimulation and oral sex when in a relationship, while fellatio was prevalent among hook-ups and relationships] “According to the authors, these findings suggest the orgasm gap is larger in casual sex because women are less likely to feel entitled to seek their own sexual pleasure and men are less motivated to provide their partners with pleasure…”
so what do women gain from sexual liberation and hookup culture? they get no orgasms, no emotional support and still get judged and slutshamed by society.
it seems to me that sexual liberation is a misnomer and hookup culture which is marketed to women as a way of expressing their sexual freedom and overcoming the unfair patriarchal standards women were supposed to live up to is actually a way to get women to accept less commitment and emotional investment.
“I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want & live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live & feel all the shades, tones & variations of mental & physical experience possible in my life. And I am horribly limited.“ - Sylvia Plath
Doing research for a thing everyone reblog or reply and tell me what you would do with your time if you didn’t have to work. Like if you suddenly got enough passive income to live a comfortable middle class life and you didn’t have to do a single thing to get it, what would you do all day?
If you think your answer is embaraseing anon it to me.
