Open Science Got nothing to do? I got you some new reading. Enjoy. Bloom, P. The Pleasures of Pain and the Pains of Pleasure
Here comes the vocab for this one.

Btw, please make sure that you prepare similar lists when you do the reading. I do these ones for myself while reading, and sharing here to help you out if needed, but if you do want to advance your reading, make sure that you don't read on the go, sit down and highlight the grammar and the vocabulary you want to practice, otherwise it will just be some reading for pure pleasure 🤷‍♀️

Vocabulary:
shriek
It was a loaner from the hotel, an ugly thing with metal prongs
tear up
sniffled along with
depict = show
scowling
ambiguous
nibble on
gnaw on
gobble up
through gritted teeth
to outweigh
blissful contentment

Grammar:
