Last night I managed to strain my right wrist while on a desperate midnight snack hunt (don’t ask, it’s tragic). Now it hurts like hell, but instead of resting like a sensible human, I’m here typing out a long-ass review for a book I finished at dawn—a book that left me more confused than impressed.

“What’d you wish for?” Pippa asks.
“If you tell us, it won’t come t—” I start, but Luke interrupts me.
“I wished Mr. Thorne would be my daddy!”

Simon! Dude! Guy! Man! I'm more shocked than you, lmao.

Mr. Thorne stands, hesitantly reaching out his hand. “I’m Mr. Thorne,” he says. “How do you do?”
Luke giggles. “Do what?”
“It means hi,” I explain.

Honestly, I’m stealing Luke’s response for my future interactions. The plot’s not it, but this cute little pookie won’t let me dnf.

Alchemised is everywhere and my feed is out here making me feel like a Muggle. I don’t even care about Harry Potter or Dramione… but that hardcover? I want it like a cat wants attention at 3 AM. Somebody, anyone, tell me it’s fine to read it without knowing all the Hogwarts tea!

Today I met this super sweet lady, but my heart feels so heavy because she told me her parents and husband are no more. When I asked about her children, she started crying. She was all alone and sick. My heart has been aching ever since I came back from the hospital. Why is life so unfair?

Omg y’all, I NEED to know—what book/show/movie made you ugly cry (like, snort-and-all ugly)?
I’d never cried over a book before but Til Def by Jodie King almost got me 😩 I ugly cried so hard watching Goblin 😭 and don’t even get me started on Man in Love (2021)… my heart literally aches every time I watch it 💔

As if wading through books with random incest (and not a single TW in sight, because apparently common decency is extinct 🙃) wasn’t enough, my brain woke up and chose chaos. This morning’s nightmare? Two sisters + the elder one’s boyfriend + deserted island = incest island edition. WITH a backstory, because chaos needs lore. Lmao 😭

Wow, just perfect. I accidentally deleted one of my all-time, top-tier favorite books from my shelf while attempting my very first favorites shelf on GRS—because apparently my bad day needed an upgrade. And now, the universe has blessed me with the joy of writing the review all over again. My lazy, forgetful ass is living the absolute dream, truly 😭😭

Manifesting...

read with full filmy background music, while my soulmate manifestation cries in the rain somewhere.

I’m so bored I could cry. I had two close friends, and then over the span of just a couple of months both of them ghosted me 💀
And now? I’m left clutching my loneliness like it’s a designer bag, distracting myself with sloppy, trashy Bollywood movies. If that isn’t peak tragic-heroine energy, I don’t know what is. Honestly, my life has become a masterpiece of loneliness… with a generous side of melodrama.

The writing isn’t good and the plot is boring, but I’m still reading it. It’s almost 6 in the morning, and I’ve been reading since 4 a.m. I wonder why—insomnia must really be messing with me again 🤪😭👀💀🤦‍♂️

She tilts her face, grabs my collar, and pulls me down. I might not be a bright man, but I ain’t slow. I cup both her cheeks and kiss her.

Oh my lord. She kissed him, oh my lord. I’m actually screaming 🥹😱🥵🫠🔥🤸‍♀️🧘‍♀️

Here I am, waiting for a 5-star book to magically fall into my lap ’cause apparently my tbr only serves me premium-grade trash these days 🙃
If you’re sitting on a romance gem, don’t be stingy 😔 hand it over or just force-feed me a good book already 😩
Until then, I’ll be draped across my bed like a sack of potatoes 🫡

Guess who’s in a reading slump and facing an artistic block again? Me 😔

Hey guys, I'm reorganizing my bookshelf and coming across some truly horrendous stuff I read in the past, so sorry for the back-to-back review updates, but I can't help it. I have to write the reviews! 🤸‍♀️😔

This isn't some wild guess. I'm sure that the mansion she's about to enter is the same place where Ty killed his parents 👀

With one last look at the man and the church that helped shaped the demon I’ve become, I toss the lighter onto his remains.
The fire catches instantly, spreading like greedy tongues of flames that lick at his broken body, consuming it piece by piece.

— Yesss, I'm so fucking proud of you 😭👏

How the fuck am I supposed to function when she’s not beside me? When she’s not fucking mine? Every second away from her feels like sandpaper against my nerves, grating to the bone. I don’t want air if it’s not fucking laced with her. I don’t want life if it’s not created around her.

- I like how obsessed he is 🤭

Call me basic 🤭 but I melt faster than ice cream in a heatwave when the mmc calls the fmc 'baby' or 'love'—but only when it feels natural and isn’t overused 😌

Now for the real talk: What are your top-tier, heart-melting nicknames? 🩷✨

“Be very careful, Little Kitten,” he murmurs, the space between us shrinking until there’s none left. “I can smell your fear,” he continues, “and I fucking like it.”
The growl that rumbles from his chest makes my head spin.

Ignoring the nickname...

As soon as I lift my eyes, I see him. Ty is laid out on his narrow bed, leaning against the white wall, a book in hand with one leg hanging off the edge.

- Guys, if this is how his present self is introduced… I’m done. He’s already my fave, no competition 👀

He stands, a soft smile gracing his aging features. “He’s definitely one of our calmer patients.”

Hmm, I'm suspicious 😒😏

Fmc's kitten is named Midnight (🥺 🩷) — this girl is definitely a dark romance heroine, lol.

“I listen,” I shout, moving even closer to the bed. “I’m here waiting and ready all the fucking time and you give me crumbs, at best.”

Oh Jesse 😭😭

Jude's cravings meter is at a 2.

Goodness, their flashback scenes are truly adorable.

Please stop saying 'good girl.' I get that you're a good girl—there’s no need to mention it in every paragraph.

He’s the grumpiest of all grumps. The most antisocial of them all. The kind of guy who’d just grunt if you said good morning—and I’d still say it again.

Hey everyone 🩷💐 I was wondering—if fictional couples were real, who would be your ultimate pick to befriend? You can name two if they're from a show or movie, but at least one must be from a book.

Mine would be Charlotte and Tate from Darling Venom, and Mi Joo and Kang Ho from The Good Bad Mother 😭💌

I've become addicted to Goodreads while being hospitalized! Even my cannula-ridden, aching hand doesn't stop me—oh boy! It's become my little escape. Every book review feels like a conversation, and each new title offers a tiny spark of joy. Pain or not, I keep scrolling!
