I know this is a ya novel and I’m being hypercritical and I should be expecting this but I feel like it’s going a little bit overboard like I am a baby bird and this book is a momma bird chewing its themes up before spitting them right into my mouth

risas pretty, but not like other girls she doesn’t wear makeup, Connor is strong and could overpower risa but doesn’t use his strength against her cause he’s such a good guy

I know I’m being extra critical of this slight misogyny in this book, but I’m not in the mood to deal with it. Everybody be normal, please

I know he like has to, but he’s pushing so much and moving so fast like I think he needs to take a cold shower. But I’m also worried because while he does kind of mean it, he doesn’t mean it and that’s just messed up.

the forbidden romance is her being 22 and him being 28… (like that’s so normal??). he is the most confusing ever he will go from ignoring her for weeks and being like i can’t be with you im emotionally unavailable to wanting to make out with her crazy style and cornering her after she hangs out with her male friends. like i need him to lock in and be normal

you know the book is going to be good when the mc is more gagged abt a 5th year senior phd student teaching freshman then a girl jumping off the roof last year.

respect her boundaries challenge FAILED

“you promised” to “tell me to stop” LILE SHE DID ONE SECOND AGO DONT PMO
but wtv makes her happy i guess

The way the servants do so much with so little appreciation like they have the whole house running lots to think about

The way she’s fighting. Her brother is really starting to piss me off. He’s complaining about something valid and her responses. Well I’ve been dealing with this for longer than you should shut the fuck up but like hello shouldn’t you who has been dealing with it be more empathetic to him because you know what it’s like???

all their parallel lines that are opposites kill me wow i need them

i like him don’t get me wrong but his insults need work and i don’t understand why he needs to act like he’s misogynistic right before insulting people who are hating on the female main character. What are we doing??

her ability to write stories that are so unique and engaging is so fun wow i am HOOKED

enjoying this magic system

i didn’t realize this wasn’t a standalone i don’t have the second please don’t end on a crazy cliff hanger

graham just because you have daddy issues does not give you the right to act like that oh lord

if i wanted to watch a misogynistic man play hockey i would just watch the playoffs PLEASE fix your attitude

slight spoiler ig

is stratt sending grace to space a form of biopolitics? in this essay i will argue that stratt choosing grace for the mission and deeming his life less important than others because he does not have biological children and example of foucaults concept of biopolitics

my greys anatomy knowledge is shockingly carrying

it’s such a quick interesting read i’m flying through

« we’ll just- keep an eye out for the bees, hm? » there is gansey everywhere for those with eyes to see (me)

god i love how thoughtful wendell is

“also in raissa, city of sadness, there runs an invisible thread that binds one living being to another for a moment, then unravels, then is stretched again between moving points as it draws new and rapid patterns so that every second the unhappy city contains a happy city unaware of its own existence”

making the second male lead have a man bun PLEASE at least try to convince me to root for him

“perhaps this garden exists only in the shadowof our loweredeyelids and u have never stopped frm raising dust on the fields of battle, and I frm bargaining for sacks of pepper in far bazaars. But eachtime we halfclose our eyes in the midst of the din and the throng we’re allowed to withdraw here dressed in silk kimonos to ponder what we are seeing and living to draw conclusions to contemplate frm the distance.”

“ your cities do not exist. Perhaps they’ve never existed and assure they will never exist again. Why do you amuse yourself with consolatory fables? I know well that my empire is rotting like a corpse in a swamp who’s contagion infects the crows that peck it as well as the bamboo that grows fertilized by its humors. Why do you not speak to me of this?”

just watch hadestown (shoutout jack wolfe) and OMG THIS IS GIVING THAT. the last song abt singing it again and again even though we know it’s a sad song in the hopes that it’s better oh im sniffing hope on the horizon

i have very suspicious and forming many theories wow i love reincarnation

reading for class and really like this writing style

i am not liking the way women are written. why was the only woman with any depth (don’t you worry tho she was still a stereotype) murdered to further the plot of a man right right right sure

switched to the audiobook i fear i am suffering bad. the dialogue between the golds is peeving me off bad genuinely imagine several british people being backhanded towards each other and calling each other “goblin” and “ogre”. i can’t wait for the school arc to be over i fear that’s what dragging me so bad

he has the worst case of i’m-like-other-girlsitis i have ever seen in a man oh my god girl pls lock in
