IM SCREAMINGGG I DIDN’T SEE THAT COMING AT ALL!!

Listening to this while playing expedition 33 is so trippy and cool 10/10 would recommend

I haven’t read a fantasy this good in so long I’m like emotional with relief. Every POV is fire and the magic system is cool as hell! I’m so invested!!

This is the first book in a LONG time to be fucked up in a way that feels truly chilling and meaningful rather than for pure shock value. I’m totally hooked

I really like this couple but dear god is this ending DRAGGING. Imo this book should’ve been 5% shorter.

So far, MUCH better duo than Happy Place. A slower read I feel like but there are enough secrets to keep me in it

I think I need to sit with it to determine if it’s 4 or 5 stars, but I did enjoy the ending :) it was soft and cathartic. The whole book was largely very gentle, and I liked that

Im REALLY enjoying the vibes and the parts of the mystery that have unfolded so far. This story is really setting itself up to hinge on the ending. I’m curious to see if it sticks the landing.

The voice of Piranesi is so endearing! Like yeah, this is my pal Piranesi. I love hearing about his house. I’m trying to take his approach of not focusing on puzzling out secrets, but rather just enjoying its beauty.

Man, this book could’ve gone from good to great if the MMC wasn’t so painfully insecure and self sabotaging

Maybe it’s Fern as a protagonist or maybe it’s that I’m also reading a fantasy adventure rn but I’m having a harder time getting into this one. It’s not very cozy so far but its also not as thrilling as The Blue Sword

This story is so incredibly charming. It’s like everything I wanted in a story when I was like 11. A heroine taken from her pseudo regency setting to be the chosen one in a world of magic that she fits into perfectly and instantly becomes OP af in as she travels around with her intelligent and loyal horse and cat. Completely wonderful

If anything bad happens to Noah again I’ll riot

After a brief break I find I’m eager to get back into this series! Where is Glendower?? (But also like how is Chainsaw doing?)

I’ve been avoiding starting this one because its the most recently published and I didn’t want the series to end yet. But now a new book has been announced and I physically MISS murderbot the character so I shall be reading this. I’m so excited, I love mb and friends so much!

Noah is my favorite :) a little slow in the middle but I’m vibing with the world

It’s good but no one told me it was gonna be so spooky 😖

The prose is much better than I was expecting and I’m def interested in the story. The audiobook narrator choice is throwing me though. In a YA with young main characters, why have it read by ?a cowboy?

Okay maybe I overreacted a little in my last update. I’m calmer now. This book is playing with my emotions

Jk f this book and everyone who told me to read it 😭😭😭

Im so bitter because I resisted reading this for so long due to its popularity only to be unable to put it down myself. I hate that everyone who told me to read it was right

I know Ryan Gosling is going to play the protagonist but I’m picturing a cross between RDJ and Glenn Howerton

Note that the cover does not match the book 😂

Ali Hazlewood still on her “no… I shan’t say 🤭” BS but she may have cooked with this one anyways. So far better than Bride imo. We’ll see if it sticks the landing!

Ben and I are buddy reading this one and oh boy do we have thoughts. Very cozy and vibey but falling apart at the end of the second act here. The weaknesses in the prose are really starting to grate and the insta-love now monopolizing the screen time is just not satisfying. The protagonist is presented without flaw or room to grow and now the found family is falling to the wayside .-. I’m hoping it picks back up

I need a light romance rn and this has been on my TBR for too long. Plus it’s spooky!

I was just sorta coasting through while it was slow but Temeraire raising the question of dragons having rights has me sat
