"I would much rather my death was a surprise"

Kit is just 😻

I am so so excited to read about Lundry for I loved her in Every Heart a Doorway.

I have my trust issues regarding Goblin Market though.

Why don't I still know whats going on?!

For very personal reason I don't want Sam and Penny to end up together.. as in romantically.

Does he wish he were part of the first (intentionally) gay season of Ever After? Of course, he does


SIGN ME UP ALREADY!!!

"He tries to refocus on things that calm him: Excel spreadsheets, quiet libraries, one-thousand-piece jigsaw puzzles, 90-degree angles."

This is where I knew I'd fall

“I’m not sure there’s any way to spin what just happened. I can’t believe you said puzzing.”
“So you admit this entire thing was your fault, then? For the bastardization of the word puzzle?”
“I admit to no such thing.”

THEY'RE SO CUTEEEE!

The clumsy anxious gorgeous mess that Charlie is!
Pretty sure I'd be pissed if I knew someone like that irl but its fun to read so far.

Little Ram as an easily influenced, conservative child with progressive parents and Ravan as ever powerful, knowledgeable and modern benevolent king.

Will you trust me it doesn't as sound misplaced in the story Vaishnavi has woven. It all fits perfectly.

I am enjoying the way this book is written. The tarot characters' bg history & origin stories and the relevance it has with the protagonist's life has made me look forward to whats there in the upcoming pages.

I love the predictability of this one. Just something warm, corny and exactly what I needed right now

"People place so much value on thought, but feeling is as essential. I want to read books that make me laugh and cry and fear and hope and punch the air in triumph. I want a book to hug me or grab me by the scruff of my neck. I don’t even mind if it punches me in the gut. Because we are here to feel"

RIGHT IN THE FEELS!!

"... he had more important things to deal with than my shit."

This chapter is enough to convince me its a 5 star read!
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 The whole "shit/demon/pray episode" is HILARIOUS.

Ughwuwiphhgh
I should have had some idea about who to trust by now!
Wth why is everyone either too sus to be real culprit or too good to be trusted

"intends to help business organizations understand their obligations under law, share best practices that organizations can follow and provide answers to their various queries questions related to the topic. Whilst it explains the provisions of law, it also describes certain scenarios, reproduces case laws etc. with the intention of helping the reader understand how sexual harassment happens and How to prevent it."

The amount of things that are going wrong at this moment is making me wanna throw the book at every host's body at the same time.

Gosh the repetition of stories in the series!

Chapter 4 - 'Durga's secret' is easily the most controversial chapter here

(Hope there isn't any more of such crap in coming chapters)

"We assume that wise brahmins came up with these ideas and passed them on. But the more one studies Indian rituals and texts, the more one realises that the wisdom of India comes from ‘simple rural folk’, simply articulated in Sanskrit. The brahmins are scribes, compilers and organisers, not sources, of Vedic wisdom"

Now we're talking!

"In Hindu tradition, the dead are first burned in a funeral pyre and then their ashes are thrown in a river. Fire consumes death but water helps in rebirth. If Sati embraces death, Parvati brings forth life. She rejuvenates and revitalises Shiva, and the world."

The shiva stories are definitely my favorite part.

LOVE how it went from
"two faults. My Race and my Gender."
To
"One by one, she and the others bend, kneeling to their king. Kneeling to me."

Thanks Tracy Deonn for letting the world know being a king has nothing to do with Gender✊👑

“Wow. You’re a peach.”
“No,” he retorts, pulling a spinning ball of blue aether into his palm. “I’m part demon.”


Me * before starting a book*:
I wonder who gonna be my fav in this one

*Notices the grumpiest character*
Oh look! Myyy person😍 (part demon here)

"Devi is divinity in her own right, independent as the earth, responding to the gaze of Brahma who seeks to control her, Vishnu who enjoys her and Shiva who withdraws from her. She is their mother, daughter, sister and wife. She allows them to dominate but never lets them have dominion over her. She enables everyone to outgrow the anxiety that creates patriarchy as well as the anxiety created by patriarchy"

There is so much going on, I am overwhelmed just by reading Can't even imagine how Bree is holding up

Omfg why am I so happy that "I believe" got a mention in the book.
This is a successful read. M done
