Something brushed his hand, soft and cold.
He reached out again, and this time, a hand closed around his and pulled.

“Then, once James's body was gone, Lee had mopped the stairs just to be sure he hadn't missed a spot. Lee Turner never would have left a stain like this behind.

Perhaps it was morbid, but Lee found it easier to picture James as a rotting corpse than as his roommate.”

Kylie, we are two pages in…

“Where will the end of the world take you?”

TJ, pls. This is going to be devastating isn’t it…

If I had a nickel for the number of books I’ve read where someone has been possessed by a “nightmare”…

I love the Sarmodel and Sebastian duo.

I remember reading this in either grade 7 or 8…or maybe in high school? I still randomly think about this book all these years later. Time for a reread (and be emotionally devastated in the process).

The audible narrator needs to learn how to pronounce “toque” 🙄

Someone’s review said “welcome back Brave Little Toaster” and as someone who loved this movie (and still gets nightmares from the A/C blowing itself up) I’m hoping this book gives off the same nostalgia vibes (hopefully without another appliance death though, I don’t think I could handle it)

This dumb little octopus is going to ruin my day and heal me all at the same time, isn’t he…

"Stop! In the name of the law!"
"What's the law's name, then?"
"How should I know!"
"Why we chasing him?"
"Because he's running away!"

Trauma doesn’t decrease with company, but it does grow easier to work through when you know someone else understands.

He looked up. “Who’s there?”
Death
“Death who?”
I wonder…can we start that again? I don’t seem to have the hang of this. It’s just that it has been suggested that I should be more of a people person

I'm reading a romance written by a MAN?! In 2026? It's Brando Sando though, so does is really count?

So far lots of world building and character intros. Already seeing some connections to the greater Cosmere story.

He hired a stylist to buy her new clothes AND UNDERWEAR without her knowing/consenting. “You don’t have much of a professional wardrobe”. The romance reader in me loooooves that but the hyper independent man-hater in me thinks he’s overstepping. They don’t even *like* each other at this point in the book.

So far it’s a *touch* on the over dramatic side for me…

85% of Darrow’s wins is because Severo is insane and likes to pop up out of random places.

There’s a lot of “this is my plan…oh no, enemies! We’re done for… Syke! *I* was the one who tricked *you* THIS was my plan all along!” In this book and it’s starting to annoy me, I can’t lie.

I don't know why this book isn't in more "Stephen King - where to start" lists.

Golden Son is stressing me out and honestly I just missed reading about dragons.

Might fa and reread Eragon next, who knows.

“No. Don’t speak. It’s not your turn just because I pause.”

GET ‘EM, MUSTANG

Pierce, can you take your foot off of your characters’ necks for JUST A SECOND?!!

I’ve been stressed for 20 chapters because you don’t give them a moment’s peace 😬😭

Darrow, Babe, 5 chapters in and we are not having a good time.

Rulers tend to dislike those who break rules.

I can totally see the Red Rising/ Will Of The Many comparisons everyone has been making.

We want you to make our boy here into a Gold.

Then it moved.
What I thought was a blanket was actually a thick ribbon of flesh that crawled, undulating with the too-fast ripple of a centipede's legs, as the thing went slithering across the ground, engulfed in bloody light.

Oh, I don’t like that.

On Mars there is not much gravity. So you have to pull the feet to break the neck. They let the loved ones do it

Hell of a first paragraph.
