I did not care for Nolan’s Odyssey (too bland) and so I’m coming back to Madeline Miller for a Homer retelling that actually has some flavor 🩰✨

weird to not even mention sex work and gentlemen’s clubs at all when talking about Degas-era ballet. like we went into detail about dancer quality of life in other periods, but just skipped the exploitation of "les petits rats de l'opéra" entirely. huh.

the amount of lady knight books I’ve read this year is actually concerning. like what could it mean.

due to The Horrors™ i will now be defaulting to my comfort series. it’s brainrot time 🩷🐀👁️😭🎀🫵🏻🦇✅❤️🌸🎂🦬🍥🪲🩰✨🤠👄

if you are leaving secret letters to your sworn enemy, painstakingly carved into the rings of a tree over the course of a century, comprised of poetry and philosophical jokes that only she will get… i have some news for you girlie that is not your enemy. good luck, babe!

V.E. Schwab writes different time periods so effortlessly it’s as if she has lived them herself. It is truly remarkable. I’m reading Maria’s chapters like “yeah this is exactly how 1500s spain was” despite knowing nothing about it, purely because I just feels so natural and authentic lol.

I’m sorry but Kaladin is way too articulate for a man who literally can’t read. He shouldn’t know the word ‘neurosis.’ No one in a FANTASY NOVEL should know this word.

miss butler you are a PROPHET

it’s brain rot time 💅🏻🤠🎀💖👑🚨🦅🎂👄💫🤰🏻🦋🍒💔

in almost every single book of his that I’ve read, Brandon Sanderson will write a teenage girl and go “you know what? we need to constantly mention the size of her breasts (they’re small).” I don’t care how good Tress was, I REMEMBER YOUR SINS BRANDON

“why do you keep going back to the same three comfort reads” girl I NEVER LEFT

Brandon Sanderson has never been able to write natural dialogue. Why does everyone talk like a therapist. No one in a FANTASY BOOK says stuff like “I need time to process this trauma before I can start to emotionally self-regulate” GIRL WHAT THE HELL!!!!

I cannot handle miscommunication as a plot device. it only works as humor. girl don’t do this to me.

ladies, what’s gayer than trying to kill each other?

due to the election results I retreated into my comfort series, do not try to contact me

I’M A SIMPLE WOMAN

one thing about me is I’m always gonna be on Declan Lynch’s side. his beef with Ronan? completely justified. his toxic relationships? literally not his fault he’s just trying to survive. “he’s a bad brother” no YOU’RE bad at reading. I do not care he can do no wrong in my eyes.

it’s brain rot time ✨💋💅🏻🥹🤠🦅👁🩷😤💦🌸⭐️🥵🐀🍌🏅💎🎀❣️🏳️‍🌈

what can I say. I’m a sucker for epic/high fantasy written for the female gaze (and female gays!). this series is my Game of Thrones. my Lord of the Rings. my Witcher.

absolutely CHILLING fight scene??? M.L. Wang really said “what if airbenders were EVIL” afsgfkslgkbsbf I’m so scared

I can tell this author never went to college. there are very few things you could do that are bad enough to get you a one-on-one with THE LITERAL DEAN to discuss your possible expulsion. you would need to have done something extremely serious, not go to a party off campus. literally what.

if Muntadhir has zero haters I’m dead. if I see this man it’s HANDS

I love plots and schemes!!!! give me an evil advisor!!!

this is a Small Bob stan account!!!!!

FEARSOME PIRATE LADY!!!!!!

if you are using multiple narrators for an audiobook, I am BEGGING you to make sure they all pronounce the names the same way. ESPECIALLY if it’s a main character. wtf.

Kaz Brekker could mug me in a dark alley and I would thank him.

this entire series should be from percy’s perspective full stop.

noooo I thought Hilo was going to be my new book boyfriend but he gives me the ick :(
