Loving this so far

Reading the first book for my new book club

Okay... I can't express how much this representation and just feeling seen just made me literally tear up:
"Since being diagnosed with interstitial cystitis two years ago, her life could be boiled down to one phrase. She came, she saw... she realized she needed to pee and quickly stopped whatever she was doing to find a bathroom."
💔 (could also be that I dealt with a really awful doc this week)

Anyone else notice how sometimes GoodReads shows things marked as spoilers anyway? Pissed me off I just got spoiled! (No fault to the reviewer)

I never finished this when I bought it when it first came out, but the movie was enjoyable so I'm giving it another try

I have read multiple books since I picked this up end of August and this never happens to me but I paid for this book and I'm determined to finish it!!! This weekend I will conquer

I am sorry to the many who loved this, but it wasn't for me.
I didn't enjoy the narration (specifically the male voices and accents) or the book itself though I tried to.

It took until the 40% mark for her to take over the role when that is the premise of the book?

So far I'm obsessed

Ok so this isn't a spoiler but rather a warning? I don't like creature romance and in fact avoid it... based on the beautiful cover and blurb I did not realize that in the first chapter they would say the male MC walks around having scales as a merman/fish creature. He gets a tail like a werewolf once a month. He dyes his hair from green to black. I duno but I just got such an ick. Not just witchy romance as marketed

Had to put this on pause bc library books came in

I'M OBSESSED

Fully aware and prepared to hate read the scene I know I will hate but I wanted to see how the author introduced Whistledown, all the siblings, and the side characters. The obsession with netflix season 2 is so real.

So far this isn't giving what the show gave

Yes, my first book of the series and yes, I'm reading them out of order. I just root for Penelope, ok? I need to know she will be protected and what season 3 might have in store.

Shh I'm not proud

She's sitting in his lap during an academic lecture... and her career is on the line...this is the cringiest thing ever

I wanna see if this is worth the hype.
I am trying really hard not to picture Adam Driver and it isn't working.

Happy National Comic Book Day!

Rereading mood but this time the audiobook

This title and cover had me! Reviews aren't stellar but I got it from the library so we'll see...

I just started and I already think this one is going to be my faaaaav

Okay, loving this book - but just an overall comment -
Started off with the audiobook and couldn't handle it and switched to ebook.
What is with narrators (male or female) putting on a ridiculous voice for the love interest? Male narrators will put on a high weird voice to be a woman and female narrators will do a very bizarre dude bro voice to play a man, and it is just weird.

I just want to find out what people are talking about...

"His plan was to seduce her out of her anxiety"
Yeesh not sure I like that at all...

Okay so yeah I might have skipped to the epilogue then went back but I'm reading this super slowly because I'm savoring it, because it's beautiful and because it makes me cry
