Yooo nothing like an arranged marriage (kinda) to get me out of my reading slump!!

Want to read this so bad but gotta study up on my Chinese! Grr

It hurts watching Tully just… get hurt again and again

I know this is stupid but I’m just… feeling overwhelmed right now by all the books and shows I’ve started but not finished. And then instead of finishing them I just start more. I don’t want to do that but I think it’s because I’ve just been reading a lot of stuff that’s good but not great, you know? Stuff that’s like, if you keep going it might get good but not anything immediately amazing

Hi everyone,

These are the remaining books I added to my tbr list last year:

Love Like War (Ares x Aphrodite fanfiction)
Draco Malfoy and The Mortifying Ordeal of Being in Love
Things I Wanted to Say
Torment: Part One
Lords of Pain

Worm
Forging Hephaestus
Mother of Learning
Daughters of Eville
All he wants for Christmas is a fingerling
The rape of nanking
The Nevernight Chronicle
Firefly Lane

Minor spoilers: I know I’m supposed to hate Jasmine but I absolutely love her! Like the way she straight up called Rafe daddy when it clearly wasn’t going to work on him? And the way she just continuously embarrasses herself and is stupid like, it’s so silly

I have discovered something dangerous… it is called starting a new book while stopping in the middle of another book. So technically right now I’m reading 10 books but I’m really only reading one out of the ten, I didn’t used to do this since library books usually came of hold a few at a time and were due in 3 weeks, but now with kindle unlimited I can just… dnf wantonly. Again, very dangerous!

I feel like I’ve read too much today, I read a few chapters (I say chapters but they are ridiculously long) of the wandering inn and a lot of the sea witch. I feel like this year I made a dent in my tbr/tbw list but man I keep adding books so it also feels like I didn’t

That feeling when you read too many smut books so now you crave something with an actual plot

It’s Halloween and you know what that means… MONSTER SMUT!!! Woohoo

What?!! Why is this random dude trying to kill the main character? Literally all he did was exist and you’re risking jail time (FOR LIFE) to kill him?

So excited for 2000s ragtag group of supernatural high schoolers! I know it’s the most cliche stuff ever but man it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy and nostalgic inside

Spoiler alert (tw rape):

WHY ARE YOU SAVING THE MAN WHO ALMOST RAPED YOU?!!you could have just let shadow daddy torture him!!! It’s not kindness its not mercy it’s shooting yourself in the foot grrr

This is the bomb!! So excited to read what happens next

It’s complicated

It’s complicated

It’s complicated

It’s strange because technically horrible things have happened in the book but I still feel like I’m waiting for the really bad thing to happen. Feeling disturbed yet excited as I read. Going to put this down for a bit then come back in a few days

Lmao I can’t with this book 🤣here are some lines that made me start uncontrollably laughing:

“So, something is going on, guys. And whatever it is, it’s serious.” No shit 🤣I’m 75% in and I still don’t know what is going on

“There’s some things going on in my life right now. It’s not a good time, believe me.” Me too bestie

Loving it! Also omg do I sense a budding relationship between Della and Miranda?!!

No Miranda don’t keep seeking male validation 😭

You guys this book is so silly and bad I couldn’t stop giggling! So there’s this girl who gets sent to this troubled camp for teens (hint hint it ends up being for supernatural creatures) and you can tell it’s written by someone super old because one night the main character comes back from a party to find pamphlets about contraceptives and pregnancy on the counter and her first thought is

Idk what page or percentage I’m on exactly since it’s a sample, but I’m so excited to start this book! Been in a reading slump and wanted to read this for a while, it’s really dark though with lots of triggers so I probably would not recommend it to most people

Hi everyone,

I am a chronic dnfer who hates commitment but guess what I’m reading? Qiang Jin Jiu, A 282 chapter epic saga bl, not only that but I am reading it in Chinese as I’m learning Chinese (I have over 2000 flashcards to learn RIP 🙃 and I’m only 8 chapters in)

Anyway it’s good but the past few chapters have been pretty exposition heavy, I’m really excited for more violence
