book lovers (emily henry) as a netflix original
Maybe it’s possible to have more than one home. Maybe it’s possible to belong in a hundred different ways to a hundred different people and places.

'I know there may be universes out there where I made different choices and they led me somewhere else, led me to someone else. And my heart breaks for every single version of me that didn't end up with you.'

Season 1, Episode 4 | Bridget Jones's Diary (2001)
It's a new year and we're back with the absolute charm bomb that is Bridget Jones's Diary. With a plot knicked from Pride & Prejudice, a perfect cast, and a main character who embodies the complexities and inanities of modern womanhood, this movie reminds you that you're lovable, just as you are.

you are allowed to wholeheartedly enjoy romance and chick-lit and fanfiction. if these types of writing are partly or exclusively what you read, your hobby of reading is still entirely valid. anyone who tries to belittle you because of the genres you enjoy is a total loser

Amar é relativo | Sophie Kinsella
Amar é relativo é um daqueles livros que peguei porque já li muita coisa da Sophie, e como sei o estilo dela quis ler este também, não vou negar que estranhei a capa, já que ela geralmente não escreve comédias românticas e sim chick lits, até que percebi que estava certa. Este livro é sim um chick lit. Ava é uma romântica, teve um término com seu namorado a pouco tempo, e não acha que os…

SURPRISE from data collection week.
I have always believed in the importance of “downtime”.  Prior to the last week, I would have said I just don’t have much, if any at this stage of my life.  But… I would be wrong! 
It turns out that patterns did in fact appear in my data collection!  In addition to rarely getting my act together in time to get my cold-brew situated before going to bed- resulting in a regular stop at WAWA, I found that I look forward to my Audiobook time in the car on the way home from work.  I also found that when there’s a change in my morning routine that allows me to listen on the way TO work, I’m especially happy about it!
I realize the downtime is actually happening more than I thought, and it makes me appreciate it that much more!

NoveList Combos: Funny & Engaging Reads
Did you know NoveList is a database you can access with your library card to find reading recommendations? Find your next favorite read with this fantastic readers tool! Check it out on our website here.
Excavations by Kate Myers
On the Megalopolis archeological site in rural Greece, the mythic home of the first Olympics, an unusual artifact is discovered. It's a relic that shouldn't exist; one that upends long-held beliefs about male achievement - everything their megalomaniacal leader has built his career, and ego, upon. Clearly, something has gone horribly wrong.
Z, Elise, Kara and Patty are all digging on this very site this summer. All four women are at wildly different crossroads in their lives, yet all have somehow ended up on this same mountain. Kara is a polished art historian on the verge of calling off her wedding. Patty is a hapless undergrad with an unfortunate bowl cut. Z, a millennial, just got dumped and fired for what feels like the thousandth time. Elise, their star excavator, is consumed by work and has no time for a personal life.
To figure out what they're really digging for, and what this site really means, these dirt-crusted colleagues will have to become what they've each avoided for years - friends. If they can manage to band together for this one summer, they might just make the discovery of a lifetime.
Holding Pattern by Jenny Xie
Holding Pattern. Noun.
1. A state of suspended progress. 2. The awkward way your mother tries to hug you now that you live with her. Again.
Kathleen Cheng has blown up her life. She’s gone through a humiliating breakup, dropped out of her graduate program, and left everything behind. Now she’s back in her childhood home in Oakland, wondering what’s next.
To her surprise, her mother isn’t the same person Kathleen remembers. No longer depressed or desperate to return to China, the new Marissa Cheng is sporty, perky, and has been transformed by love. Kathleen thought she’d be planning her own wedding, but instead finds herself helping her mother plan hers - to a Silicon Valley tech entrepreneur.
Grasping for direction, Kathleen takes a job at a start-up that specializes in an unconventional form of therapy based on touch. While she negotiates new ideas about intimacy and connection, an unforeseen attachment to someone at work pushes her to rethink her relationships - especially the one with Marissa. Will they succeed in seeing each other anew, adult to adult? As they peel back the layers of their history - the old wounds, cultural barriers, and complex affection - they must come to a new understanding of how they can propel each other forward, and what they’ve done to hold each other back.
Love at First Set by Jennifer Dugan
The gym is Lizzie's life - it's her passion, her job, and the only place that's ever felt like home. Unfortunately, her bosses consider her a glorified check-in girl at best, and the gym punching bag at worst.
When their son, Lizzie's best friend, James, begs her to be his plus one at his perfect sister Cara's wedding, things go wrong immediately, and culminate in Lizzie giving a drunken pep talk to a hot stranger in the women's bathroom - except that stranger is actually the bride-to-be, and Lizzie has accidentally convinced her to ditch her groom.
Now, newly directionless Cara is on a quest to find herself, and Lizzie - desperate to make sure her bosses never find out her role in this fiasco - gets strong-armed by James into "entertaining" her. Cara doesn't have to know it's a setup; it'll just be a quick fling before she sobers up and goes back to her real life. After all, how could someone like Cara fall for someone like Lizzie, with no career and no future?
But the more Lizzie gets to know Cara, the more she likes her, and the bigger the potential disaster if any of her rapidly multiplying secrets get out. Because now it's not just Lizzie's job and entire future on the line, but also the girl of her dreams.
The Second Ending by Michelle Hoffman
Prudence Childs was once the most famous kindergartner on the planet. After teaching herself to play piano at age three, she performed at the White House, appeared on talk shows, and inspired a generation of children to take up lessons. But as adolescence closed in, Prudence began to see that she was just another exploited child star, pushed into fame by her cruel grandmother. Prudence ran away - from both performing and her greedy handler - as soon as she was old enough to vote. Flat broke and alone, she took a job writing commercial jingles, which earned her a fortune, but left her creatively adrift.
Now forty-eight, with her daughters away at school, Prudence is determined to reconnect with the artist she once was and agrees to compete on a wildly popular dueling pianos TV show. Unfortunately, her new spotlight captures the attention of her terrible ex-husband, Bobby, who uses the opportunity to blackmail her over a secret she thought she’d buried in the past. If she doesn’t win, she won’t just be a musical failure; she’ll also be bankrupted and exposed in front of millions.
Her on-air rival, virtuoso Alexei Petrov, a stunning young Internet sensation with a massive audience and a dreamy Russian accent, has problems of his own. His overbearing parents’ domineering ways made him a technically flawless pianist but left him without friends, hobbies, or any kind of life outside his music.
As they prepare to face off on stage, the retired prodigy and the exhausted wunderkind realize that the competition is their chance to prove - to their terrible exes, tyrannical family members, and most importantly, themselves - that it’s never too late to write a new ending.

Hi,
I'm Alex and it's very nice to meet you all. I originally come from Poland but have been living in the UK for over three years now. I graduated from the university and decided to do my master's in Creative Writing. This is my first huge project in English I publish online on Wattpad so feel free to leave comments and tips how I could improve. <3
Have a great evening!
Synopsis:
Emily Jenkins grew up among music. People loved the sound of her voice and how she played the piano. However, it was her best friend - Adam Williams - who got the opportunity they could only dream of. Then, a misunderstanding completely destroyed their long, close relationship.
Now, Adam is a talented musician, a beyond-handsome idol of millions of young women and a favourite of the press. He performs around the world, attends the most prestigious parties, and sells his albums at light speed. Emily, however, only dreams of one thing - to go back to the worst day of her life and change what was broken. Since then, she keeps away from the ivory keys and the microphone. All her time is spent studying and listening to Adam's songs in the comfort of her room.
Fate wants to reconnect them but for two very different reasons this time. One party, one incident, one glance, and an explosive mix of emotions. Nothing will be the same.

Tired tropes
Tropes I am over:
1. She's so beautiful and she doesn't even realize it and that makes her even more beautiful.
2. "I'm not like other girls".
3. Piggybacking on #2: I'm weird because I have a wide spectrum of interests that don't include clothes and makeup and;
4. I'm different than other girls because I like comic books.
5. She's not like other girls because she watches sports.
6. Hot man walks in bar, and all the women in the bar are vying for his attention.
7. Enemies-to-lovers where one of them has actually always been attracted to the other person.
8. She knows how to fight so automatically she's a. not like other girls and b. a better than a woman who doesn't.
9. Women fighting over a man.
10. The friends of main characters who are way too invested in the love life of the main characters.
11. It's inconceivable that a main character has gone more than a month without sex. Friend of main character now has made it their mission to fix that.
12. The broody bad boy treats the heroine like crap, but she still finds him irresistible. And conversely;
13. The broody bad boy is mean to everyone else, but not to the heroine.
14. Manic Pixie Dream Girl and also;
15. The feisty heroine who is really just insufferable.
16. TRIANGLES
17. The miscommunication that breaks a couple apart when a simple conversation could have solved it.
18. The twist at the end. (I don't mind them if they are well done, but some of them have plot holes you could drive semi's through).
What are some tropes that drive you nutty?
(Also, I can say I am so guilty of some of these in my fanfic!)
