Lina is on page 182 of 256 of Sexual Intelligence: What We Really Want from Sex
I feel like this book should have been 100 pages long at most.
It's the same things said over and over and over again.

Sexual Intelligence: What We Really Want from Sex

Lina
Lina is on page 100 of 208 of ファイアパンチ 1 [Fire Punch 1]
'Fire Punch' is dark to its core, but unfortunately not like the brutal 'Berserk' way. It's just revolting and nonsensical. So far this feels like a fever dream that you'd want to forget :/

I really don't understand Elias. To be honest, I don't get Laia's feelings either.
She sees Keenan once and pretty much instantly gets butterflies in her stomach. Then Elias also sees her like 2 times and keeps thinking about her. But then he also sort of likes Helene... I am a bit confused, but probably not nearly as confuseed as the protagonists are.

14 chapters later Elias has finally met Laia. I wonder if the story's pace will pick up soon? 👀

Since my Roman Empire is the Roman Empire, reading a fantasy book inspired by it is just 😩🤌

Lina is starting All Your Perfects (Hopeless, #3)
Amidst all the "It Ends With Us" drama, I am picking up a Colleen Hoover book. Let's see where it gets me.

"It Ends With Us" was the perfect book for the mood I had at the time I read it, so it ended up being a 5 star read. Now my expectations are high, and I have a feeling this might backfire😅.

If I took a shot every time it's mentioned how big Adam is, I would be dead from alcohol poisoning by now.

The Love Hypothesis

Lina is on page 264 of 400 of The Love Hypothesis
Okay, the sex scene is not it :/

Not only did it feel like it came out of nowhere, but also the way it's described is ... slightly weird💀
"He could fit her entire breast in his mouth. All of it." What is this man? A hippo?
This line alone knocked me out of the image I was picturing in my head. Am I the odd one or did anyone feel the same way?

I thought I was being paranoid about Dr. Benton a few chapters in, but now Holden is warning Olive about him...Honestly, I feel like something bad is coming👀

The slow burn is playing with my heart and I’m totally enjoying it.

“The Love Hypothesis” is currently making me feel the very same excitement with a tinge of restlessness that I get in romantic situations irl.
Which could mean only 2 things: I’m up at 4am reading and this is going to be at least a 4 star read.

Oh boy, that whole Dr. Benton situation (him being the only person to consider funding Olive’s research, whilst also knowing about her ties to Dr. Carlsen) - I don’t like it 👀

With my life finally slowing down, I couldn’t be happier to return to reading. And from all the books I could have picked up, I think I picked the right one because omg academia romance?? And *real* academia, not the romanticized college life. I’m hooked!

Lina is on page 70 of 272 of Surrounded by Psychopaths: How to Protect Yourself from Being Manipulated and Exploited in Business (and in Life)
I am saying this 70 pages in: this will be a 2 star read at best. The only reason I'm still reading this book is because it was a gift.

'Surrounded By Psychopaths' is written by a businessman and it shows. I picked it up thinking It would a lot more scientific. I was so wrong.
So far half of it is just the author demonizing this already deeply misunderstood personality disorder & him talking about himself.

Just had a look at the reviews & many are saying that the 2nd half of the book is amazing. I

I just realized what my biggest problem with The Serpent & The Wings of Night is - it's the dialogues. I'm not digging them :/

1) How did I not notice the shadow of the bird on the book cover before? :O
2) Ngl, I kind of forgot how much I used to struggle with changes of POVs. The constant cut offs are starting to irk me. Just let me learn what's going on with at least one of them! T-T

Oh God, WHAT stepped through the portal?? What other wretched thing?😭Didn’t Celaena already see enough?

I should genuinely stop reading Throne Of Glass at night, cause how am I going to be able to sleep?

Finally we are getting some answers!
The Wyrdmarks and the king’s doings (and the mystery surrounding both of them) were starting to drive crazy.

On the same note, I am pleasantly surprised by the world-building and the magic system in Throne of Glass!

- So Dorian closed his eyes, and took another long breath. And when he opened his eyes, he let her go.
NOOOO💔 I mean, YES!?
Ah, what am I supposed to feel?
I’m just as confused as they are😩.
Admittedly, I was not the biggest fan of Dorian/Celaena, because since the beginning I had been subconsciously rooting for her & Chaol. But now… I just don’t know anymore so let’s see how the events unfold.

Wym Dorian "could have sworn he caught a glimpse of a faint ring of frost around where his body had lain on the couch"?
Can Dorian use magic? Or is he being targeted by it?? :O
I am still stuck figuring out why Aelin, the deceased heiress of Terrasen, is being brought up all of a sudden, and what are Wyrdmarks, and where is Arobynn (and whether he is on Celaena's side or not)... So many things are still a mystery.

I have just started adjusting to Celaena's and Dorian's fling and given up shipping her with Chaol, but SARAH J. MAAS, WHAT IN THE WORLD WAS THAT?? My heart's too weak for such love triangles❤️‍🩹

"Are you my present, or is there something in that basket at your feet", she asked.
"If you'd like to unwrap me," he (Dorian) said, lifting the large wicker basket onto the table, "we still have an hour until temple service."

I LIVE for the banter in this book.

''Celaena watched her go. It didn't make sense. Nehemia couldn't read books that advanced, not when she still stumbled through lines of text. And Nehemiah never spoke with that kind of flawless accent, and-''

Huuuuuh?! I just thought things started to clear up with the whole "darkness lurking within the castle walls", but no, another mystery? :O

Things are getting a bit too spooky for 1 a.m. - I think it’s about time I go to sleep. But in all honesty, I am so hooked!

Whaaat, when did Celaena fall for Dorian? :O This seems so sudden and random. This whole time it felt like Celaena was slowly forming some sort of relationship with Chaol. They trained together, shared lunches, starting confiding in each other etc. (also their banter !!)
And then she suddenly is swooning over Dorian?
Or maybe deep down I was just rooting for Celaena & Chaol the whole time, I won't deny that :D
