the last 3 paragraphs 🫠 as someone who just graduated college and is currently back at home…. this post sent me into a spiral LMAOOOO 😭

but this was great!!! i (opposite to you) read a lot of YA, i just love a good fantasy book i fear… but im very very open to the recs that you included in this newsletter ! i just stumbled across your writing recently and have had a great time so far relating to the topics you’ve been covering :)

this was a great post and I found myself reflecting while reading this post. Very relatable for myself currently, since I felt like I am going through similar experiences but as a 26 year old instead. I also placed a hold via the library on some of the books you recommended! I also notice myself that lately I've been seeking out for more mature themes in books in the fiction world, books that are relatable, but didn't know how to put that into words.

I definitely feel like our 20s are just a constant process of reminding ourselves (and those around us) that despite the fact that we’re no longer children, we’re so slightly new at the whole adulting thing. It’s all about giving grace to ourselves, I think! Thank you so much for reading and I hope you enjoy the books I recommended <3
