toronto mention 🫵

my french profs: your only job this week is to introduce yourselves and make new friends!

my english profs: read this whole book by next tuesday.

i understand the sanderson hype this book is freaking awesome

HANNAH GOT ME A KOBO

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL

me in my car listening to this on 1.5x speed before book club

have to return this to the library but i will finish it someday

oh my god i hate this book so bad there’s no way i’m gonna finish it

why have multiple people recommended this to me??? the world building holds a lot of promise but the main characters are so persistently miserable i wish we were exploring it from anybody else’s pov

BOOOOOOO 🍅🍅🍅

avery cheating on her wife with a MAN 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

can’t wait for the book club meeting :O

stupid nick from work (catholic) was bothering me with his political bullshit and was saying some racist nonsense and it felt SO GOOD to whip out THE POPE’S AUTOBIOGRAPHY and point to a quote about diversity being good

i’ve gotta stop reading books about sad people being sad and making bad decisions

how far can i read while pretending to do work at my job

surely this would be a good time to announce the villain’s evil scheme to the crowd???

the romance parts of this book are definitely way stronger than the action sequences

lowkey the evil professor is my fave character so far

i like all the different magic murder birds, but they feel so random. i wish the author would mention them and give a brief description before they actually show up. maybe between each chapter she could have put a field notes section with little descriptions of the birds, their appearances and their behaviours.

okayyy i’m vibing with this book now actually. its not a work of literary genius but its pretty fun and silly. i’m along for the ride, i’m here for the adventure

i’m having a great time actually

once again the main character is stupid

“ i thought you were a nice girl”
“that doesn’t mean i’m weak”

did we publish the first thing we wrote down??? hello??

okay i like the murder bird

i hate when old timey books establish bridgerton-esque etiquette only to completely ignore it. the only time this book mentions a social rule is when someone flaunts it. why even pretend anyone cares

the fact that there could have been a fun heist scene but instead the author just wrote “she slipped past the museum staff” and called it a day

i’m trying hard to rock with the faux old-timey way of speaking but i can’t deal with the characters being so stupid

this woman is 24 years old and she’s never experienced attraction before??? get a grip

“Ivan stopped.” THANK GOD

ivan shut up challenge (FAILED) (seven pages of one nonsensical monologue about god)

my man alexey can’t get a break huh… they just keep sending him on some task

lesbians???????????
