THE CHOSEN ONE Barrington University is home of the Lords, a secret society that requires their blood in payment. They are above allโthe most powerful men in the world. They devote their lives to violence in exchange for power. And during their senior year, they are offered a chosen one. I VOW. YOU VOW. WE VOW. People think growing up with money is freeing, but I promise you, itโs not. My entire life has been planned out for me. I never got the chance to do what I wanted until Ryat Alexander Archer came along and gave me an option for a better life. He offered me what no one else ever hadโfreedom. I chose to be his. He made me believe that anyway, but it was just another lie. A way that the Lords manipulate you into doing what they want. After being sucked into the dark, twisted world of the Lords, I embraced my new role and allowed Ryat to parade me around like the trophy I was to him. But like all things, what started out as a game soon became a fight for survival. And the only way out was death.
i dont consider myself a 'fashion guru' by any means but one thing i will say is guys you dont need to know the specific brand an item you like is - you need to know what the item is called. very rarely does a brand matter, but knowing that pair of pants is called 'cargo' vs 'boot cut' or the names of dress styles is going to help you find clothes you like WAAAYYYY faster than brand shopping
this also goes for aesthetic or -core titles. 'y2k tank top' is going to get you resellers and fast fashion brands advertising to people looking to meet a current trend. 'thin strap crop tank top' is going to get you a diverse group of results and not upcharge you to hell and back
additionally, shop second hand when you can, second hand and thrift sites typically organize clothes by the cut and color. theyll be more affordable than a depop seller curating you a style to sell you
useful terminology for different kinds of clothing shapes :)
JOMP BPC - 1st January - Reading Goals
My reading goals for the year are few and flexible:
- Read regularly (most days)
- Read some physical books as well as listening to audiobooks
- Reduce my tbr pile a little
- Read with an emphasis on pleasure - it's not school homework! (I can turn anything into work/duty/responsibility/burden, so point 4 is the most important one!)

Last year I got The Haunting Season, this year I got the second book, with MORE ghostly tales. Equally pretty as the first one, it will with no doubt be equally good.
