Would vikings call themselves vikings? Would people in the viking era say "there's a viking raid coming?" or would they just say "there's a raid coming"? 🤨

Why am I unable to enjoy a book lately lmao 😩

”What kind of man would put a known criminal in charge of a major branch of government? Apart from, say, the average voter.”

"People were strange like that. Steal five dollars and you were a petty thief. Steal thousands of dollars and you were either a government or a hero."

If Dracula, Twilight and Wuthering Heights had a baby, I think it would be this book. Idk if that’s a good thing or not

“There were plenty of girls in the parish with dark hair, or flaxen, and faces not covered in freckles. With easy smiles, soft eyes, and blunter tongues.”

Why do authors always act like having auburn hair and freckles is ugly or something 😭

i love the narrators of these audiobooks!!

"She shoves me off her, and I think she’s finally come to her senses, only for her to slap me across the face. The shock of it is short-lived as fire spreads across my cheek, into my blood, and straight to my cock."

no i'm seriously losing my mind, why did grenadine's name change WITH NO EXPLANATION!!! can someone who read this book please tell me if it's explained later, my brain is rotting. i've been calling her genevieve this entire time, which is proof of this book KILLING MY BRAIN CELLS

this book is gaslighting me at this point. imagine you're reading twilight and bella goes "carlisle—SORRY, i mean cornelius" and then continues to call him cornelius with absolutely no explanation. that is quite literally what just happened

what the fuck is happening 😂 acker just accepts his role as a cuck??

acker is a bitch. that’s all

i literally read 1.5 chapters and i'm like yes. this is amazing. i've recommended it to two friends already 😭😭

“Nocturnal insects chirp in unison, creating a hum of noise.” do other countries have insects during winter?? Is it only in Sweden that they seem to completely disappear whenever it gets cold? The book has said in basically every chapter that it’s so cold, but there are insects?

things are happening but i feel like nothing is happening

ok i folded under literally zero pressure and made a booksta 😭 @marginally.critical

might post, might just use it to yap about books, who knows!! follow me or drop yours in the comments and i'll follow you 🫶🏻

i'll probably delete this after getting exactly 0 responses lmaoo 🙈 does everyone mostly use instagram for buddy reads/group chats and stuff or is anyone on discord too?

WHAT IS THIS?? WHAT IS HAPPENING (complimentary)

me when Tristane

only 3% in and i’m already coming up with theories 🕵🏻

hamlet scholars look away now because i know literally nothing. i am going into this retelling armed only with the knowledge that elsinore is a place

poor Lily 😔😔 ugh i feel for her. fucking teenagers are so cruel (is she even a teenager?? surely she is) life as a teenager is chaotic enough and then you're also surrounded by other teens

I literally can't tell if I like this or not 😂😭😭 i'm so confused

this book was very clearly not written with me as the intended audience. maybe that much should have been obvious, but it's definitely obvious now

what?? you’re asking if i just bought this book so i could have an excuse to read it again?? nooo… not at all

OSRIC 😭😭😭 the character development!!! he really did all that omgg

I FINISHED A BOOK 😌😌😌😌
