maybe the reason i’m single is because deep down i’m holding out hope that one day scientists will find a way to make book characters real and i can finally marry carrot

ohhh here we go lads

i’m sorry but why can’t you call it a day and a night? ‘dae’ and ‘slumber’ feel so stupid and forced.
aurora rise and aurora fall and aurora cycle instead of sun?? if you’re gonna do that give us something of an actual aurora to make it worthwhile otherwise it’s just different for different’s sake

tis the season ❄️

RIP terry pratchett you would’ve loved ‘anything for you obama - then perish’

sure every other time i’ve reread a discworld book at random i’ve been in a suboptimal mental state… but i promise this entire series reread is different. i’m doing great 🙂🙂🙂

i understand this bit is meant to be scary and everything but all i can picture is going through a nether portal in minecraft, complete with the whooshing sound effects and wobbles 😭😭

i am truly no better than a man overlooking somewhat lackluster characterisation for an intriguing world and what is clearly a long lost prince

maybe it’s the delirium, maybe it’s the headache, maybe it’s maybelline but ‘none of this lasts but all of it matters’ is my kryptonite. tears.

this most definitely eats

i might throw up

does this… kinda eat?

been like 6 months since i read the second book in the series i wonder how long it’s going to take for me to remember what’s going on here

listen if welsh mythology has no fans, im dead.

i was so excited!! deeply welsh!! set in north wales!! Yr Wyddfa!! Gwynedd!! Ynys Môn!!

however… this is so dense with metaphors it is physically difficult to read. not slow, but the metal equivalent of wading through chest deep muddy water.

i put this down a week ago and have not had a single thought about it since

you can’t name her ‘convict 8561’ and not expect me to starting singing les mis in my head

i have read what feels like a billion retellings or accounts of the trojan war. i know how it ends. in blood and fire and anguish.

AND YET

i cannot shake the hope that maybe this time will turn out different. pandora’s box. yet again.

at the risk of speaking too soon i am finding this style fascinating at the minute

i’d carry you with me either way

even on reread 8? 9? i am fundamentally unwell. i am undone by camilla next.

3.3 parents per child?
WRONG.
spiders-beautiful ruby, who lives in a cave and eats parents for breakfast is an outlier adn should never have been counted.

id bet good money that this was written by an american author with a thing for a british accent. not saying its good or bad, just… identifiable.

published books are deeply letting me down rn so maybe an ARC can save me from this slump

the more i read this the more i like ianthe 😔😔😔

‘the world had been ended’
FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU you know what you did

orpheus doesn’t look back at his eurydice and STILL doesn’t get to keep her 😭😭😭

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HERE WE GO AGAIN LADS

can i not quite bring myself to care because we’re not getting enough time with the characters to truly truly understand them and the forced mystery is just a little much or is it just because i am having a Weird Time rn… i want to give benefit of the doubt and say the latter but idk man… it’s all a little flat for me.

@ joe if this doesn’t eat im going to make you eat it. all 1200 pages

don’t worry about it guys i’m so fine

ouch

not only does it have some lovely exploration of the insanity of splitting every single human activity along a gender binary that i personally feel is perfectly calibrated to the YA target audience… but the FLIRTING. GOD I LOVE THIS. SO MUCH GIGGLING. HEHEHEHEHHEHEEEEEEEE

I LOVE LOVE 🗣️🗣️🗣️
