tired of female characters being written as self proclaimed geniuses then doing the dumbest stuff you've ever seen. fmc is stubborn to the point she'd rather die than make a logical decision and that's not an exaggeration. might have to DNF🫠

Pierce or Islington? That is the question.

please let the rusalka eat the priest and stepmom asap

the priest wanting to destroy a free spirited girl and make her into a woman of god while being in love with her bc of her free spirit is 10/10 realism.

huge fan of maggie o'farrell's work. absolutely entranced by this story so far.

very strange to read a book that sounds like you during the worst times of your life. gilda is anxious and depressed but has no idea how to identify her feelings so it comes out in hilariously strange ways.

It always takes ages to finish non-fiction but this one also happens to be depressing and I'm sensitive so I gotta take breaks lol

i fear there's no actual plot here besides rune and gideon pretending to hate each other but make it boring and add instalove. i miss serpent and dove.

ugh i hate a love triangle especially with brothers (ㅜ.ㅜ)

need something not serious/heavy rn

ch. 7 talking about the British torturing the Irish until they literally lost their minds and then the geneva convention trying to make that type of torture illegal but being overruled bc the US wanted to use it during bush's administration. vile.

this is a rec from a librarian in my system. she said it's the rise of the guardians source material. dont sleep on juvenile books. they're so whimsical.

wu king is hot, mean and only nice to xi shi :D i want them to actually like each other so bad ㅜ.ㅜ

finally! a retelling of xi shi. praying liang doesnt take the route of her ending up with fan li tho. i want her to end up with the enemy king for maximum drama.

ngl, i'm not getting the hype. the main character is kinda cringe.

stressed tf out rn

lord of the flies meets the handmaid's tale. insanely good from the start. predicting my first 5 star read of the year.

DNFing bc i dont like scifi, there's no world building and i genuinely dont know what's going on.

i went through all this for a why choose. you're joking.

literally have no idea what's going on. lesbian robots? communicating across time? enemies on different sides of a war? in love? SURE!

i did NOT agree to being subjected to nick and joan saying they love each other. this was supposed to be an aaron oliver comeback book. wth.

emily is so me. accidentally offending everyone without knowing because she's independent and hates feeling like she owes anyone. bless us.

The inspiration for one of my favorite Disney movies. I wish they'd included Gwydion in The Black Cauldron.

Listened to over half the book in one sitting while fighting with polymer clay.

a palette cleanser! makes me want to reread the first book. hating the lack of communication between effy and preston but also love them. what's a poor girl to do?

i can't tell if i'm in a reading slump or if i keep picking shit books. i LOVED dowry of blood but this one isn't hitting.

schwab challenge: write moderately linear plot. impossible. flashbacks have flashbacks have flashbacks. im about to DNF for real

omfg this is addie la rue all over again and i HATED that stupid book. im sick to death of hearing about maria/sabine. please where is the plotttttt?

Maria is so deeply unlikable. I hate to see her chapters coming.
