i am more willing to believe in the mermaids than i am that this guy’s saying te quiero to the other after two weeks

yet again picked up a mlm book thinking it was about lesbians. ah well this audiobook bangs

How are you writing a book on pirates for your phd and getting the guy who killed blackbeard wrong

as an asexual there comes a point where a sex scene every two chapters in an audiobook is juuust a bit much please I am trying to chop tomatoes stop telling me his mouth is full

it’s chapter 4 put your fucking top back on

going on an expedition to find the endurance shipwreck and repeatedly getting stuck in the ice is very funny to me

this book gets better when I imagine it’s being narrated by an old hollywood detective with a transatlantic accent

my fave part of this is every time he does something heinous he distracts himself by ranting about his favourite bands for a page. yes thank you for the echo and the bunnymen interlude mid-murder, much appreciated

Im crying is this an endurance retelling. “he named his ship fortitude after his family motto” okayyyy we have shackleton at home

another reread. get bunny again for me

every time i read a book about terra nova i think hey maybe this will be the one where scott survives

I love polar books written by polar explorers cause they’ll be like “Scott did something insane during which everyone nearly died. Naturally I did the same thing five years ago”. Or they will casually drop that they tried to get their whole teams appendixes removed just in case

fuck you huntford

Spending pages criticising Scott, Britain and the Navy’s rigid class ideas (rightfully so) and then referring to PO Evans as possessing “crude working class animal muscularity” is INSANE 😭

“Scott left Vernon with a tiny question mark hanging over him … Although he was by now 30 years old, Scott still seemed somehow uncertain and immature.” sure blame the guy who’s fault it is

her gay awakening was not the love interest it was a stripper called raven. ok

sally ride did it first and did it better

I knew huntford hated scott but Jesus Christ. Also there are three times this book described Amundsen’s underwear in detail, which three times more than I expected to hear about it

oh wow i have never seen a polar bear before! i am sure rowing my little boat up and trying to take this one as a pet will go well for me

oh yes em, no that’s a fantastic idea em, we should definitely both get a copy of this for £4 and annotate it em, we can swap them after em, this will be enjoyable i swear

all of you take the piss out of the mortal instruments for the incest plotline when all of you should take the piss out of it for simon’s cheater plotline. heinous. egregious. get in the bin

bee farseer i am very fond of you

what if I published an autobiography with a 90 page chapter on how fucking annoying you are and then a year later set out to find you and disappear forever

not the first series ive read to randomly decide to stick everyone on a boat in book 2 but unfortunately none of you are cool enough to do it like maud blyth

rereading that part twelve years later is like getting shot in the chest

IN YOUR MOM’S BED??

“In response to my entrance, Tallman was already hobbling toward me. His son, Tallerman”

they’re unironically using “enemies to lovers” and “second chance romance” in this old timey fantasy book
