Come bookstagram with me

No filter. No workout clothes. No list of rounds. No rest. No wraps. Not even a sports bra. Just gloves and a bag — a playlist and punching until my heart is pounding and I can't breathe. Until my arms burn and anxiety and sensory issues are beat down and I have a split lip that didn't even register in the 30 minutes of whaling. ⁣ ⁣ It's not pretty, but it's real. ⁣ It's not perfect, and it's always messy.⁣ It's not strength — it's work. ⁣ It's not a battle. ⁣ It's a war.⁣ ⁣ How do you fight yours?⁣ ⁣ #anxiety #sensoryoverload #personaldemons #amwriting #work #boxing
"You see, the land of Grimm can be a harrowing place. But it is worth exploring. For, in life, it is in the darkest zones one finds the brightest beauty and the most luminous wisdom.⁣ ⁣ And, of course, the most blood." (A Tale Dark and Grimm by Adam Gidwitz)⁣ ⁣ Fairytales are the most dangerous of tales. ⁣ ⁣ What fairytale retellings have you enjoyed? I love this middle-grade novel by Gidwitz. It's the perfect balance of deep darkness and sarcasm and hope and speckles of light.⁣ ⁣ Other favorites include Beauty and Spindle's End by Robin McKinley. I have not Lunar Chronicled yet (shocking, I realize). I tried Cinder a while back, and for whatever reason didn't get into it enough before it was time to return to the library, so it's on my list to try again.⁣ ⁣ #amreading #amwriting #amreadingfantasy #fairytail #grimm #adamgidwitz #RobinMcKinley
