Add that one to 'bear tree' and the 'keys' (not quays).INSTED... and you are all talking about her doing a Masters...
There's zero chance she'll read as much as a single page, let alone the full book.I see on Ruby's goodreads, she wants to read The Transgender Issue: An Argument for Justice, I have never read this book but in the summary the writer talks about a "wide-ranging analysis of trans lives from youth to old age, exploring work, family, housing, healthcare, the prison system, and trans participation in the LGBTQ+ and feminist communities, in contemporary Britain and beyond." It will be interesting to see if she will like this book, if she reads it, or if she will just put it as a 1 star because it doesn't relate to her life.
What does the sign say? I'm getting 'I maid a NEW MAID That cement and SUCKS Also she (???) ME'You don't know how right you are:

This one's handmade (by Ruby judging by how half-assed it looks), so the family's clearly aware of the house always being a mess but it's just so fun and quirky!

When your most interesting personality trait is your biggest hardship (which is already pretty suspect), which is getting » bullied » for a few years in middle school. Ok.There's zero chance she'll read as much as a single page, let alone the full book.
As someone else noted, the books she's added most recently are all books that Jack Edwards has recommended or advertised in the past couple of weeks (and it's highly likely he didn't or won't read them, either).
Ruby's probably just visibly adding books outside her comfort zone because she believes that adding a wider variety of literature to her 'want to read' list constitutes the total necessary requirements to having an interest in a wider variety of literature. She won't read them.
She can't even summon the motivation to read books that are in her wheelhouse or the assigned uni texts, she just skims them and lies about it. She's been stupidly vocal in the past about skipping past sections and subplots of books when they contain things that don't interest her or don't reflect her own life (things like romance, teen relationships, realistic drama). She's definitely not going to start reading books by/about trans people or people of colour.
The books she'll actually read fall into a select few categories:
Everything else, she only pretends to read.
- Books about rich white children experiencing fantastical adventures in the Victorian era.
- Middle-grade books about rich white children being bullied for being too smart.
- Middle-grade books about rich white children going to boarding school (where they're probably being bullied for being too smart, possibly in the Victorian era).
- Letter-writing and etiquette guides aimed at rich white girls in the Victorian era.
- Very short children's books with a max page count of 30 pages.
It also doesn't help that all those middle-grade school bully books she read are based entirely in a world of fictional clichés and overworn tropes.When your most interesting personality trait is your biggest hardship (which is already pretty suspect), which is getting » bullied » for a few years in middle school. Ok.
This is just a theory but a lot of books aimed at middle-grade girls are about navigating school hierarchies/ social life/ friend groups. And a lot of the main characters are targeted for being different or “quirky” somehow- mostly being not like other girls and nerdy and bookish. And Ruby, with her narcissism and self-obsession, needed to become a Main Character, the Chosen One in her own stupid story. Except it didn’t play out how she meant it to bc real people in her life weren’t interested in being her supporting characters, and she didn’t get her big AHA revenge comeback story because Oxford rejected her, so she wrote Erimenthol to relive those weird fantasies of hers.
Slightly embarrassed to admit to watching Mallory Towers as I was having breakfast (I couldn’t face the news and it was the next channel). Anyway, all I could think was “this is Ruby”. The one who on the surface level appears “perfect” but is a know it all, better than everyone else, sucks up to teachers: Gwendolyn. Who underneath is actually mean, deceitful, nasty, controlling and a bully. Hmmmmm.
She'll read the first five pages, write some waffle and count it towards her 'read' total despite never finishing itI honestly can’t wait to see her thoughts on The Transgender Issue
Probably. It's a double standard. On the other hand, we all find it strange that she collects these things.but Honestly if Ruby were a man I don't think anyone would find that acceptable. There would be so many posts about how strange it is that he is reading books about kids, has Pinterests of young girls, has young children on his wall etc.
''The Transgender Issue is an important book because transgender issues are so important and relevant to today's world. It is very informative and educational in its assessment of transgender rights. The writing features things that are thought-provoking. (I will not mention these, but can assure you that the writing does indeed feature them!). I experienced many thoughts and observations whilst reading this book (I will not mention these, but can assure you that my brain did indeed experience them!). I am now a trans advocate. 4 out of 5 stars.''She'll read the first five pages, write some waffle and count it towards her 'read' total despite never finishing it
I’ve read this book, and to be honest it’s pretty light on facts and analysis! Mostly just dogma and slogans brewed with a shedload of queer theory (which as an academic discipline is pretty flimsy).I see on Ruby's goodreads, she wants to read The Transgender Issue: An Argument for Justice, I have never read this book but in the summary the writer talks about a "wide-ranging analysis of trans lives from youth to old age, exploring work, family, housing, healthcare, the prison system, and trans participation in the LGBTQ+ and feminist communities, in contemporary Britain and beyond."

Yeah sorry to go OT but speaking of ADs, is anyone else getting the most bizarre ones on tattle atm??? Here is a selection of a few I’ve had over the last couple of daysI'm sorry that this is so off topic, but seeing as mental health has been discussed here I think it's important to mention. I got this ad featuring The Speakmans at the bottom of the page and just want everyone who sees it to know that they are charlatans who don't know the first thing about anxiety and to avoid them like the plague. (Even though certain TV shows keep promoting them) Sorry guys *end PSA, back on topic*
