dnf-ing everything rn because my english major started english majoring and i need to focus. so much reading to do but i am excited!!

locked in during long car ride and i think i got thru the boring part phew

“i am the dreaming tree. i am every oak with roots digging through rocks. the ley line runs through me… fairy roads. spirit lines. corpse roads. adam parrish is irrelevant, he is a whorl in the fingerprint of a massive being.”

no “wow blue you really can be a raging feminist” from adam. but!! blue still did tell him to go kiss gansey instead so

introducing henry cheng early to replace prokopenko is interesting….

also stick shift joke fire love it

wait i’m acc so pissed why is the fundraiser at aglionby and not at the ganseys’ dc mansion… this has got to be setting up some kind of plot point that differs… right… please tell me we’re not smashing the fourth of july party in right now… and oh my god NO GANSEY ON FIRE FUCK I WILL CRASH OUT

okay cool but actually nothing will ever beat the imagery of the helicopter taking off and gansey watching his whole life getting smaller and smaller beneath him

i love when adaptations add new little details when they can’t depict the whole story. ronan lending adam a suit and he accepts <3333 even though he would’ve denied gansey

actually reading this for fashion inspo. blue’s fork and spoon earrings are precious

r: “shitdamn, it’s hot. oh don’t even, parrish.”
a: “i didn’t say anything.”
r: “whatever, man. i know that face. you were born in hell, youre used to it.”

laying in bed kicking my feet. also i don’t think i realized until i bought this copy that adam’s magician card is on the cover. what a nice little detail!!

k: “oh, don’t look so sour, dick. it ain’t a collar, he’s still your dog.”
r: “what am i supposed to do with them?”
k: “hell if i know. i just thought of you. regift them. white rabbit shit.”
g: “elephant. white elephant.”
k: “don’t bring politics into this, dick. let me know when he lets you off that leash, lynch.”

OHHH ICONIC ALREADY

no matter how many times i read and love stephen king i still can’t get over his perversion 😭 youre telling me that garraty’s first action after watching someone get killed is to look up a woman’s dress?! yeah okay sure. maybe he’s desensitized to violence or whatever but that’s def an interesting way to show it!

i’m trying to hold out on this because it’s supposed to be the most difficult in the series to get through 😖 i had to return my libby copy but i’m hoping i can take a break and come back to this series!!

i feel like i’ve seen a lot of meh reviews of this book? but i found it at a little free library and am loving so far

no way is tucker carlson a character in this series LMAO

all i can think about is how much my mom hates worms. right before i read this part my mom was gagging at a trolli ad. i think i get her now.

lorraine!!! knows what is up

i made a joke to my dad about the reviews making this book sound like blood meridian… but lowkey there are some parallels…

after watching twin peaks the gray man kinda gives me dale cooper vibes 🫶 my special agent and my special hitman

“even though he knew he couldn’t save himself, he couldn’t ever seem to convince himself to stop fighting.”

“‘it’s only you. why do you hate you?’
‘i don’t,’ he said.
and he woke up.”

AHHHH MY FAVORITE SCENE EVER HAPPY PRIDE MONTH RONAN LYNCH

“‘what’s here, k? nothing! no one!’
‘just us.’
there was a heavy understanding in that statement, amplified by the dream. i know what you are, kavinsky had said.
‘that’s not enough,’ ronan replied.
‘don’t say dick gansey, man. do not say it. he is never going to be with you’

then the passage about ronan considering gansey his brother AGHHH i love. k didn’t even know what he was jealous of

oh the horror of getting into a fight with your best friend and immediately calling said best friend’s girl for comfort.

i feel like every time i read this book i understand adam more. will always back him. but also i get gansey more too, the constant overthinking and regret of every word that slips out of your mouth

“gansey’ll forgive you, man. he doesn’t want to sleep alone.”

fuck kavinsky but he kinda ate with that one 💀

chapter 33 always makes me SO emotional with gansey and adam at the party 😭 adam slowly losing his grip on reality and hearing the voices and his eyes locking on gansey’s in the crowd UGHHH can we just pretend they’re not going to get into their biggest argument after this!!!!

“adam remembered all at once what it felt like to be real, to be adam, instead of my friend, adam parrish…” (264).

me when ronan-and-gansey had been a two-headed creature for so long, but he couldn’t say it, there were a thousand reasons he couldn’t say it 🥲

but yeah sure totally normally to lose your mind when your best friend leaves for approximately three days. nothing to see here.

“he wished summer was over. at least when he was at aglionby he could turn over his papers to see the grades, concrete proof of his success at something” (85).

also blue basically saying adam would benefit from smoking weed LOL real

“if adam was stupid about his pride, gansey was stupid about adam” 😭😭😭😭

my favorite book ever. genuinely every page makes me giggle and kick my feet. hands shaking as i turn each page. my PERFECT summer read. super gay and horny and sticky and repulsive. best read on a humid night.
