I hate dnf'ing books, especially ARCs ... but I might have to put this down :(

I feel the need to remind everyone who read fourth wing and fell in love with dragons that tonssss of asian-inspired fantasy books have dragons :)

NOOO

no YA book should contain the word cock

i fear this will be put in children's libraries

jesus christ HOW was this published as young adult

This is a young adult book. Why is the first chapter just (poorly written) smut

lmao so I said I was going to join booktok a few months ago, but then immediately got overwhelmed lol. I'm trying again and this time committing to joining the community :) if anyone has a booktok account and wants to be friends over there my account is @jenasbookshelf

i am having a downright wretched time :(

hey guys :) i thought it would be fun to start a booktok, so if anyone wants to be friends on there it’s @jenasbookshelf

(2/2)
i didnt expect a perfect adaptation, but i don’t understand why they did just SO MUCH. i’m being so serious when i ask were they trying to get the show renewed by adding more plot of expecting it to fail and cramming EVERYTHING in?

nothing in the world could have prepared me for how far they strayed from source material in shadow and bone season 2. they had 7 books to pull from, and were supposed to be on book two. they smushed two books together, put stuff from books 5-7 in the season, and after that just made shit up. characters literally switched jobs and ships with one another from what they had in the book (1/2)

this book is you are in love by taylor swift and i mean that in the best way

maybe im just toxic … but like , jealousy 👌🏻🥰

1 chapter in and hoziers been name dropped :) things r already going well

I feel like part of the reason I loved It Happened One Summer so much is because it was one of the first romances I read and when I picked it up I knew nothing about the author or genre, so I'm trying to go into this with low expectations and not set myself up for failure, but ahhhhhhhhh this might be my most anticipated read ever and my expectations r thru the roof

i shall not spoil what just happened but ugh this should not be making me cry rn

gowrl … i know that rose likes submission and connor’s narcism is like his main personality trait … but like … i cannot get over her literally calling him a god during sex 🤡

All I want to do is eat my dinner while listening to this audiobook but they wont stop talking about her spinal fluid dripping out of her nose 😭

Hi friends! I've decided it would be fun to create a bookstagram. If anyone wants to check it out the @ is @candlesandcontemporaries or the link is https://www.instagram.com/candlesandc... . If any of you have bookish instagram accounts feel free to comment them so we can interact over there :) :)

Went into this with high spirits (maybe not expectations, but I was manifesting it'd be good), and on the literal first page the main character is knowingly hooking up with a guy who has a girlfriend. Awesome.

i forgot how painfully slow romance books are when you dont like the love interest 😭

WTF HAPPENED TO MATTHEWS CHARACTER

i cant get thru this goddamn book because matthew went from being perfectly protective in the first book to a secret keeping sexist in this one. + you mean to tell me they dont go back to the future until the next book. im so bored of the only conflict being diana not fitting into the past. im starting to regret recomending this series cause this is such a decline in quality damn

this book has some really strong messages and super cute romantic moments, but i just dont love the writing style so its really hard to get thru :/ i’ve been 1/3 through it for like a week

listen, it’s objectively good, but the story just isnt grabbing me the way i thought it would

I'm pretty sure this commentary is supposed to be making fun of the idea that "capitalism breeds innovation," but the way it's executed it just sounds like an angry out of touch boomer is mad at millennial/gen z culture. I feel like they should be making fun of dumb tv products or like mass corporations, not "self care spas" and similar businesses that are made for and by women

"I love my murderer - but yours! How can I?"

I'm in love with this fucking book

is snuck not a word? I was 100% sure it was but now idk. im listening to the audiobook and they say "sneaked" at least once a chapter and it always sounds wrong. I feel like im losing my mind.

yalllll im getting nervous about this ending
