THE WEDDING PEOPLE x THE PAPER PALACE

THIS ENDS NOW: Matrimonial escape artist Lainey is ready to stop running from good men. But 1st she must disarm the cruel, brilliant ex who programmed her to bolt from love—and whose poisonous ghost still sabotages her chances at happiness. #UP #Q #A #bluepit 📖
A collage of photos: a classic red Vermont farmhouse in autumn, with a low stone wall in the foreground; the title of the novel, “This Ends Now”; a dark-haired woman floating face upwards in water, surrounded by white flowers, her eyes open; a blazing bonfire at nightfall; an old map showing a portion of Northern Vermont, the book’s setting; the interior of Yale University’s Sterling Memorial Library, showing a Gothic cathedral-like entrance with a phrase from the novel superimposed, stating: “Not all safety is safe. Sometimes the world is being kept safe from you.”; a man’s hand clasping a woman’s hand showing her wedding ring, with a snow-covered fir tree in the background. The pitch for the book “This Ends Now”: A serial husband-ditcher must confront her toxic first love who wrote her escape-artist playbook before she can finally embrace herself within the relationship she deserves. These words are superimposed upon a picture of a woman with dark hair in quarter-profile, looking out a window. Light from the window illuminates what we see of her profile. There is a dream-like quality to the image, as if the woman is caught in deep thought. A collage of three book covers which are presented as comparative titles to This Ends Now: “The Paper Palace,” by Miranda Cowley Heller; “The Wedding People,” by Alison Espach; and “Sandwich,” by Catherine Newman. If you’re a woman, you’re probably intimately familiar with this predicament. You are too much simply by being a woman in the world with a brain in your skull and a mouth in your face, and you can make the former twist and form the latter to say all sorts of words that make people squirm, even if you don’t mean to. Even if all you intend is to speak your truth or tell a joke or—swelling full with any of life’s grave injustices—rage at some horror, you will remind those people you are a woman who is taking up space, maybe even entitled to take up space. And by people, I’m talking about men. Sure, there’s always some woman primed to kneecap you for wearing a skirt that’s too short or too tight, for wanting and reaching for more and more and more. But let’s be real. They’re only foot soldiers, collaborators who hope that by selling out the female faction, they’ll be treated better by those with true power. Nah. Men will shit on these quislings just the same as they will you, given half a chance, once their usefulness expires. A woman’s usefulness—as an ally, a foe, a muse or fantasy or servant—always expires, because there’s forever some new way that a woman can be not right. The goalposts shift swiftly and without much notice, rarely with any true rationality. One day you are immaculate, the perfect creature, spotless. You cannot be improved upon; change is superfluous, maybe a little greedy to ask for. Freeze, don’t move, put your hands in the air. Stay right as you are. But you do move, and you do change, because you are not a fucking statue. You are human, you are an animal, even before you are a woman. Change is knit into our existence from the moment one cell cleaves into two, into four, and on and on until hey look here you are, in all your messy, bloody glory, growing and shifting because that is what you are meant to do. Men know this. They know that change is power. Gregory knew this, which is why he told me I was perfect just the way I was. I changed anyway.

When marine biologist Josie Lark returns home temporarily to support her pregnant little sister and save Pelican Cove's coastline, unfinished business with her first love – Will Mercer – threatens to turn her carefully planned escape into a reason to stay.
#BluePit #BluePit📖 #W #A #R
At the center of the image is a blurb that reads: As a marine biologist specializing in sea turtle conservation, Josie Lark has spent her entire life chasing the next coastline, the next job, determined to put as much distance as possible between this version of herself and the grief of her childhood. But when a call from her pregnant little sister drags her home to the sleepy island town of Pelican Cove, Josie returns with a set itinerary: pack up their late mother’s house, put together her restoration proposal for the Gulf Conservation Center, greet her baby niece, and board a flight to her dream job in Australia eight weeks later. Will Mercer is not part of that plan. Will is the boy she once loved. He’s her childhood best friend, her first kiss and her first heartbreak, and the one person Josie never quite stopped regretting. While she ran off to college, Will stayed, tied to his family marina and a life Josie didn’t want for herself. With Pelican Cove’s fragile ecosystem and coastal economy in crisis, Josie’s project at the Conservation Center puts her directly in Will’s orbit. The electric chemistry is still there, but so are the ghosts of who they used to be—and the reality that Josie is leaving. Again. As summer stretches into fall, between long days on the water and a storm that changes everything, Josie begins to question where she truly belongs—and what it would mean to stay. The background is a pale blue to darker blue gradient from left to right. The bottom of the image reads “@indesii”.

OFFICE SPACE × THANK YOU FOR SMOKING

Dying with a smile is a luxury for the rich and Wren is the rising top salesman for HAPPY DEATH INC.—until a spiteful coworker and a depressed billionaire force him to rethink his talents and what a “happy ending” means.

#BluePit 📖 #A #D #SpecFic #Hu #W #Dis
This image is a book cover design for a novel titled "Happy Death Inc." by B. Van Bodegom. The cover is divided into three distinct horizontal sections: 1. Top Section: Features a cartoonish blue sky with white clouds and a bright sun. At the top, a tagline reads: "How much would you pay to die with a smile?" The word "HAPPY" appears in large, playful, hand-drawn-style font, partially overlapping the sky background. 2. Middle Section: A photograph of a deceased man in a suit, lying in a casket. He has an exaggerated smile on his face, almost unnaturally wide and clean, suggesting artificial enhancement or post-mortem alteration. Overlaid on this image is the word "DEATH" in the same large font as the previous word. 3. Bottom Section: A cartoon city skyline in pastel tones, similar in style to the top sky background. The word "INC." is overlaid prominently in the same large font. At the very bottom, in smaller capital letters, it says: "A Novel by B VAN BODEGOM" The overall design juxtaposes a bright, cheerful aesthetic with dark subject matter (death), emphasizing irony and possibly satire. The smiling corpse and corporate branding imply a dystopian or darkly comedic tone.
