“Well, that was definitely not vanilla!”

Yeah, girl. That penetrative missionary sex was really crazy and out there 😐

"He yeeted the stone at it"

I don't think I've ever been taken out of a story so violently. Literally why would you write this 😭

chat, i am so uncomfortable

ruh-roh guys, I think I don't like this

yeesh this guy is forward, it's been like two days dude

Natasha Pulley how could you do this to me

oh my god

Full disclosure: I'm so scared to read this. Like I'm super excited but also terrified, but I have faith in Natasha Pulley's ability to bring the magic. Also, she's touring in the US and I'm seeing her in Portland in a few weeks!

“Safa says they have nice beef dip, and we’re watching the Britney Spears drag queen. She’s not good so she does lunch crowd, but I feel like she can get better with encouragement, so I clapped a lot. I’m very supportive.”

LMAO I would say leave Derrick alone but I don't like her either

"Please have no fear. I do not intend to pursue you, my lord. I’d promise you that I have no desire to end your chastity, but as you’ve assured me, that dursan flew long ago.”

LMAO GET HIS ASS

"He was filled with power and so controlled, he probably calculated his breaths. Imagining him obsessed with me to the point where all his chains snapped was intoxicating."

*high-pitched squealing*

I have a new (slightly inflammatory) essay out on my blog!
Enjoy "In Defense of Anti-Intellectualism":

yes girl! follow the creepy child into the woods! not like you literally work for a company that hunts cryptids and should definitely know better!

It is objectively funny to literally work for a company that tracks down and catalogues cryptids and still be like "but fortune telling is ridiculous nonsense!"

Big news! I have a blog now! I've wanted to start one up for a while so I finally bit the bullet. I'll be cross-posting my reviews there along with essays and booklists. It'll be linked on my reviews and in my bio in addition to being linked on this update. Hope you check it out!

Finally rereading this after...what, four years or something? I love it sm

'“This reminds me of how Steve Jobs took that calligraphy class,” Christopher went on. “Bet that seemed like a real waste of time to a lot of people. But now look at how beautiful the fonts are on all our computers.'

REED COLLEGE VAGUELY ALLUDED TO‼️ For the record I have not taken the calligraphy class lol, maybe one day.

I hate this so much (in a good way), I'm actually crawling out of my skin

“If it is a curse, I do not deserve it. If it is a gift, I do not deserve it.”

Tell me why this line goes so hard when it’s from a book about Lucy Grey marrying a man who uncontrollably transforms into a horse.

guys. i am inconsolable

comparing livor mortis to vitiligo is so ick oh my god

This is pretty fun but the depiction of kink made me cringe so hard, holy hell.

Just about done with the semester and rushing to catch up with ARCs lol, can you tell?

originally read an eARC of this but i heard the audiobook is full cast and it’s worth a reread just for that

Sometimes you gotta ignore your 418 book TBR and read a random supremely hyped book just to see what people are yelling about (very mid so far and not really what I was expecting)

rereading before I read my ARC of the sequel!

The problem with generally only liking super depressing books is that when you need something to cheer you up you don’t have a lot of rereads to choose from 😭 so this is what we’re going with

the tonal shift between book 2 and 3 is actually insane

rereading because I have an phonetics exam today (keep me in your prayers) and if I have to expend a single brain cell on anything else I will explode
