I'm measuring expectations, because I'm 100% not a sports person, but Wrexham show used to be one of my favorites (not so much last season) for a reason... and it's because the love for sports is so similar to more media related fandom!!! I just love how people can love something so strongly, so I was curious and excited about this book!!!

Fuck no!!! The pain... I had not expected this at all... this comes from definitely expecting this to be a romance...

Now a bit afraid the book/relationship is going to drop Nati!!! Because I LOVE how nuanced she is, but I fear the book is just painting her in a bad light, I hope not... bc I really appreciate Ana calling her out on how she was treated when they went out, but how Nati is honestly so afraid of how she feels about women, how the fact she likes men makes it easier to pretend, and not face it - the shame within her!!!

Considering the book started with a sex scene immediately, and we've had one each chapter, I was thinking may this is not for me and just purely erotica!!!! But nooo, we're actually working on relationships, and they just mentioned the Ethical Slut - which is one of the best non fiction books I've ever read - which means we're actually talking about polyamory here!!!

My brain being Marvel/MCU at all times right now means while it's the second time someone yelled "Language" to swearing, my brain can't stop thinking about Steve Rogers, and Tony and Natasha teasing him!!!

The last issue is a Young Avengers one, which I'm not loving as much, but is really perfect for the times, because Billy and Tommy show up!!! Billy is very close to his MCU look!!! But also Cassie, who I'm assuming is Cassie Lang, is dating Vision?!! Relationships in the comics are so freaking confusing?!!!

Am I suppose to believe the story about the tape or not?? I'm not familiar with comic!Hawkeye, so I'm coming from the MCU and STRIKE Team: Delta has definitely killed some people for S.H.I.E.L.D.!!! Also the art for these couple issues was really not my type!!

I think this easily becoming one of my favorite books of the year!!

Just rereading the first issue, I read it Saturday night and I really loved it and I ended up ordering this on Vinted for a 1,5€, and now I can read the whole thing!!!

But also this cover is so ugly!!! The cover is such a different style from the art, and tbh if it had the original cover, I may have gotten it when it came out, bc I wasn't thinking of Hawkeye 24/7 like now, but this comic was a tumblr darling!!!

This book has the same flaw I've pointed out with some other books of hers, it lacks focus, it tries to tell you of too many characters and you lose interest

This book taking a break to do a funeral for a fallen soldier, one that in the history of Marvel seemed to be a villain, is why this is the best superhero comic ever written!!!

The completely different style in the interlude is just so GOOD, and I’m going into part 2 now!!! YES!!! I LOVE this book so much!!!

I was thinking I was going to finish this book, and then I ended up not reading on my way home (my dad picked me up), but not AO3 is down and may still finish this up tonight!!!

It doesn’t happen super often, but I really like talking with someone buying the exact book I’m currently reading!!! And since she was going into the book blank like I was, I did tell her the start was nothing like I expected!!!

I'm rereading this and I'm very slowly going through it, because my brain takes longer with Spanish... but also Kang mention - I had no idea who this person was when I first read it

I'm really loving the world and the characters so much, but the competition type arc and now a murder mystery are not my thing...

You're reading the book, and Lucas is stressing about the money being spent here, wondering if he'll lose everything, when you know this is gonna be one of the biggest movies ever!!!

This one is having more information I didn’t know or remember, but I really appreciate Lucas worrying about the decision of Vader being Luke’s father and how it would affect kids, and also him worrying about his mental health and his home life!!!

Some kind of games are happening, and that's not my favorite trope in a Fantasy book... But I'm liking the world so far, and I like Gideon and Harlow!!! (Also someone I follow on twitter is reading book 2 and it made me even more excited!!)

Less than 13 pages, and we already have Clint realizing there’s a hit on both his ex-wife and ex-lover!!! Lovingly looking at Natasha and questioning why they’re trying to kill Bobbi!!! The power of a good trio!!!

Couldn’t you guess I would be picking some comics next!!! Also I know it’s Bobbi and not Laura, but considering Bobbi was one of my favorites in AOS, I’m not mad!!! Also Natasha jumping in Clint’s arms, and then toxic relationship talk already!!!

I’m back!!! And this last chapter was so good, I really love the exploration of couples who work in the same space - the mending of ideas, the way they shared so much of their words… and also Siri’s words about how the media saw them…

My goal to finish this book over the weekend was completely sidetracked by my current obsession with ClintNatLaura (MCU), and this may go on a break while I read this incredible fic that's more than 200k words long... I cannot stop reading it!!!

First thing, I love the structure of this book, which is zero structure... because fucking grief comes in waves, memories and moments come in pieces and bits... so I like that...

Secondly, reading the same reality you went through, down to the exact same disease is a fucked experience. But it's sharing something with someone who gets it

Very meta this ending!!!

The book giving me scenes like this and expecting me to not consider this a romance!!! If the show dares to cut this scene out I’ll riot!!! I’m ready for my twitter timeline to be gifs of Rebecca Hall “Violet Bridgerton style” only, also still wondering are they keeping Morgan Spector’s dragon tattoo!!!

I know I'm just starting too many books at once, and maybe it's worth it, because this is so good!!! This is up there with the best of Edouard Louis!!! The last two I had read, I had enjoyed and not absolutely loved like the first ones I read, but this one is so excellent!!!

Putting a break on this book, since it's not working for me right now... I'm very particular about historical fiction, and I'm not in the mood. I thought being pirates, and a pirate I know, would make it good!!! Also now need a new book for the magical readathon with punctuation in the title!!!

They're so adorable!!! They're killing me!!! The soft kisses and touches is just the cutest thing!!! This is a romance novel in disguise!!!

The reference to "The Men Who Stare at Goats" (2009) as a reference to this kind of science really doesn't bode well, because I don't remember liking this movie... (Also said, this is one of the movies I watched when I want to the theaters three days on a row - a record - the joy of still paying student tickets, probably around 4€...)
