"It was spring of Lower Sixth, and Ellwood was so in love with Gaunt that his thoughts ran wild with anger. Gaunt was woven into everything he read, saw, wrote, did, dreamt. Every poem had been written about him, every song composed for him, and Ellwood could not scrape his mind clean of him no matter how he tried."

I'm gonna SCREAM!

I've already shed a couple of tears and I've only read chapter 1 🙃 Perhaps reading my annotated copy was a mistake as past me is making my current pain worse

Me going from "I'm not sure i really get this book" to crying because it's so real lol

Finished chapter 1! And the intro that was 40% of the book lol

This is for you, Cody!

This is the second time in just a few pages "littles" are mentioned and I'm a little (hah) worried this is age play? But neither the blurb not content info mentions anything about it, so I'm going to keep going. Maybe it's just those side characters who are into age play

Heyyyy, another guiche piercing 🤣🤣

"You’re such an eager little tart—”

!!!! Kink in historical romance always feels so filthy, I'm over here loving it and fanning myself

“You are beautiful,” he said, voice so low it vibrated. “Beautiful as ever, you scruffy, ridiculous stray cat of a man."

Heeee, that's the perfect description of Zeb ❤️

He really needs to pull apart the wicker cage of his ribs and see if he can find the reason he’s so obsessed with that boy hidden amidst the rot."

The language in this book is as gorgeous as in Don't Let the Forest In, and my mind is already spinning in the most amazing (and crazy-making) ways!

"Everything inside Cas has gone very still.
Because the reflection doesn’t show Miss Cassandra Sterling.
It’s Cas. Mirrored there for possibly the first time in his life.
“Well,” Cas says.
His throat feels thick. He can’t stop looking at the mirror."

The way the book seamlessly shifts from using she/her to he/him from this scene on, including during the other POVs makes me emotional in the best way

My 10 year Captive Prince anniversary reread has begun!

For two people who won't even stand close in public for fear of being found out, these guys sure do like fucking up against a window. Being an exhibitionist in ye olden times must've been tough

"[I] know for a fact you’re as gay as a spoon.”

Nic stared at her. “A spoon? Are spoons particularly gay then?”

Lady Leaf rolled her eyes. “It was just the first thing that came to mind.”

“You can’t know much about men then. Or spoons.”

😂😂

This is so bad that it's actually really funny. Can't stop reading for even 5 secs though because whenever my brain has time to kick in I'm horrified by what I'm reading lol

"His lips pinch into such a small, tight O that they look like an asshole. One that's clenching"

This is what I get for trying another book by the knotty asshole author. Chelsea did warn me.

Since I'm doing the audio I'm almost tempted to continue just to see how many more wild choices will be made lol

Ohh, something interesting finally happened and it's sandwiched in-between descriptions of defecating and the MC's teen sister throwing yet another tantrum and basically assaulting her supposed friend :((

I don't think this will end up being a fave but if I don't see at least a handful of mpreg fics for it on ao3 a year from now, I'll be so disappointed. And I don't even like mpreg!

Why would you do this to me, book? A chapter and a half in, and 70% of the key places/people start with an A? My brain hurts

Anslian = uncle + army leader
Alelune (adj: Alelunean) = enemy country
Adalei = cousin
Altas = nearest big city
Alenée = enemy queen.

This is too slow!! But I can't find any spoilers about what happens so I'm forced to keep listening arghhhh

I am STRESSED!! This book goes between hilarious, soft, and anxiety-inducing seamlessly and it's so good!!

This book makes me so insanely happy, I have tears in my eyes just from grinning so much!

Hmm... so when will I start liking Adam?

"I have two big things in my life that make me happy. Christmas and murder" yeah yeah, we get it, you're a weirdo. I was promised smut, where is it??

Okay so when do I stop crying? This is not sustainable

Read Palestine Week is November 29 - December 5!

Simon's jealousy is so funny, I can't even deal
