![]() This story is built around Kallia: a fiercely intelligent woman it was a joy to read about such an unapologetic protagonist who took on her world with red lipstick and an arsenal of confidence. (Characters are my number one favorite part of any novel). She writes such delicious characters who will steal your heart as they did mine. Inspired by The Night Circus and The Phantom of the Opera, Angeles crafted a ”spectaculore” show-stopping debut novel. I am absolutely ecstatic and honored to have been an ARC reader of #WhereDreamsDescend (thanks again Goodreads and Wednesday Book s!!). ![]() ![]() ![]() Where Dreams Descend by Janella Angeles will make your heart dance and swim in the magic on the page, even if you have two left feet like I do.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ![]()

This is the story of Jim Dixon, a hapless lecturer in medieval history at a provincial university who knows better than most that “there was no end to the ways in which nice things are nicer than nasty ones.” Amis’s scabrous debut leads the reader through a gallery of emphatically English bores, cranks, frauds, and neurotics, with each of whom Dixon must contend in one way or another in order to hold on to his cushy academic perch and win the girl of his fancy. Regarded by many as the finest, and funniest, comic novel of the twentieth century, Lucky Jim remains as trenchant, withering, and eloquently misanthropic as when it first scandalized readers in 1954. A hilarious satire about college life and high class manners, this is a classic of postwar English literature. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() There’s a lot of buzz going around that being a business generalist is the better career move.
