Wait, I’m a lot more excited and hooked than I thought I’d be. And it’s entirely because there’s a romance

Wow I am so excited to see this in movie form, it’s so cinematic. Devastating of course, but also cinematic.

I’m so sad for him

African American Perceptions (David Walker, Fredrick Douglass, Harriet Jacobs)

Yall I am damn near about to read this entire text book, which when I got it I thought that can’t possibly be the case because it’s huge. Even if we don’t read the entire thing by the end of the year I’m counting this because I’ll have at least read 85% and that’s crazy.

Lanyer, Salve Deus Rex Judaeorum, II. 745-840

I’ve always wanted to read this so I’m happy we’re reading excerpts for class.
Read parts from: Book 1, 2, 4, 5
Going to be reading all of book 9

I can’t take all the mentions of alcohol and water like it’s making me crazy because why is she our generations Orwell. Like she’s a genius.

I don’t like it here and I wanna be picked up

Let me get up bro

Damn they’re not even giving me a chance to adjust before another blow

Wow so I’m about ready to throw up and I’ve already cried.

“I can’t help it, I should be a good example, but I struggle to get free.”

Missed her writing and the absolute dread it invokes.

Currently reading:
Wroth (“Pamphilia to Amphilanthus” 1, 40, and 68), Donne (“The Flea”, “Holy Sonnet XIV”, and “Batter My Heart”)

Have read:
Jonson (“On Court Worm”, “On Something that Walks Somewhere”, “To Penshurst”), Lanyer (“Description of Cooke-Ham”)
In class we discussed how the latter is gay and I was the first to speak up and was rewarded for it by my professor. Lesbians are loud and that’s how it’s meant to be.

Have read so far:
Ben Franklin (Address), Native American Removal and Resistance (Tecumseh, Apess), Women’s perspectives (Child, Grimke), Ralph Waldo Emerson (Transcendentalism)
This book is so big I thought surely we are not reading all of that. My professor laughed in my face. It’s like I’m in an English degree or something

Okay I have to dnf. I can’t do this rn with school and I’m going through a crisis where I’m noticing the effects of capitalism in my home because of my greedy, greedy heart. I have to read books I haven’t yet. Maybe I’ll reread in the summer.
To cope, I did read all my fav parts of Kingdom of Ash and sobbed for about 2 hours. Wow. She’s just always in my heart.

Wind has been used since the start to highlight important moments and I just love that.

Of course Summer had to take the second with her to the other side of the world. Girls. What am I gonna do.

I kinda can’t believe I haven’t reread before? Like this is crazy, it still feels new in some ways.
My lil baby Dorian, forgive me, I forgot he was such a main part since the beginning.
I also really think Chaol is just meant to be there to fill the void of Sam and kinda be another Sam figure tbh, but also like not as good. I’m sorry I still can’t stand him

WAIT.
The traits that Dorian first notices in Celeana is everything he loves about Manon. Swoon.
Also mention that Erilea can’t conquer Wendlyn because of the naval forces. The Whitethorns been holding it down.
So emo reading this

Have read so far:
Indigenous North American Cultures and Literatures (Mohegan and Haudenosaunee focus: baskets, creation story, thanksgiving address)
Civilizations in Contact (Columbus’ journals, Pueblo Revolt, Otermín, Hopi Mesa, Mary Rowaldson, J. Hector St. John de Crèvecœur)

Will Shakes loved his drama let me tell you, he cranks that 180

Wow her and Sam were so mates I think like genuinely, I think it just got muddled with her form and suppression and stuff but yeah.
The first time they kiss she describes it as lightning moving through her tho, so idk I think it’s a good detail and foreshadowing of Rowan.
I’m not really ready to read the last novella again. Throw up.

“I have no name. I am whoever the keepers of my fate tell me to be.”

RAAHHHHHHHHHHH I LOVE THESE BOOKS SO BAD I NEED TO CRAWL OUT OF MY SKIN

The assassin and the desert is my fav. It’s so foundational to the story and her character. I’m a mess.

Can’t stop reading.
Celeana #1 manifester

Sob. She’s a genius.

Somehow this keeps finding me (says the English major)

Surely. Surely it can’t get any more traumatic

😀😆😀
