I know this is a kids book, but this starting immediately with describing Homer as a blind man is losing me... I know this is not the book to go into the Homer question, and if he even existed as the figure who wrote this stories, bc these were oral traditions, and you cannot be sure of anything... but to state that so factually kind of bothered me...

The book breaking the fourth wall to talk to the reader directly!!!

I'm almost sure of a twist that's about to happen, and it's so good for the book it is!! If it's right, it makes so much sense for the story and message they're telling!!!

Last few bits have been connecting with Invisible, I think, so I think I'll watch the show... but you can also do without it... but so far this book is really good!!!

Ela acabou de ser raptada por um Viking, a familia dela e o Tristan possivelmente mortos, e ela já se quer atirar este homem!!! Este é o predecessor da romantasy dos dias de hoje!!!

So confused about this All Might person showing up!!! This is so crossover heavy!!! Not a bad thing, I'm having a lot of fun here!!!

Não!!! Quinn!!! Por outro lado, a relação da Catelyn e da Melody tem o meu completo coração - o desenvolvimento é a aproximação delas é tão boa!!!

There’s two different vibes to MMF romances, and I don’t think this is it… it could still change, but ahhh, it still feels so straight. I want the exploration of queerness and not heteronormative relationships, and so far this is just two guys like the same girl (without any angst or conflict that could make this emotionally interesting…)

Ainda a ponderar se há mais sobre a Myrna, ou ela é o que parece (o que a Cat acha...)... ao mesmo tempo, tendo em conta o que aconteceu ao filho da Melody, eu tendo a acreditar na Cat...

The way I wondered for a second if this was where the “if I was a worm” meme started… vet then I remember my best friend asked me this and it was way before 2022 (we used to laugh about it, bc my answer is no, bc worms freak me out a lot, so no worms or snails or slugs)

Jem being protective of Kit over someone calling him a "beast", and Kit just being excited the working out is giving results!!! And then Jem and Tessa just talking of how words have changed over time...

They're talking about a second Jace and I don't remember this at all... I checked the wiki page, and very few memories of this - I remember the existence of Ash, that was familiar, but I did not remember the other dimension...

This is on me being bad either way dates, but the shock seeing Robert, I thought this story was a bit later… but also I really love him, and trying to build a relationship with his kids

Insane ending to the first part!!! But also parts of it were so relatable and I wanted to beat up/argue with a few people!!!

Baby Izzy, Jace and Alec are the sweetest thing!!! And the way they become family from their first moment!!!

Ahhh, the Circle and Valentine are such good "characters" - the way Valentine has a grasp on people and holds so much power over everyone!!! I really enjoy reading about the Circle, so many interesting characters!!!

Céline is going to break my heart!!!! Knowing what Valentine is going to do to her!!! And I don't think I knew about her parents before...

This story is my least favorite so far, but Tessa, Will and Jem are always something special, and the way Will ages on his own, sees the people he loves as young as they ever were, and he's growing older and older...

Cecily loving and seeing Anna!!! My heart!!!

Fuck, the ending of Act 1... this is so brutal... no wonder considering the themes, but fuck!!!

I'm not saying this as a bad thing, it's not, but this book makes me think it is a more serious version of All Systems Red!!!

The introduction/establishment of the characters is just so excellent!!! So well done!!! Also I LOVE a large cast and I'm so curious how they will all connect!!!

I really love the relationship between Enid and her sisters so much, and I like the difference it makes to talk about thing outloud!!!

This is taking me back to reading the Infernal Devices, because I also read that as an ebook when I was a kid, and I love the ability to underline things!!! I'm really liking having gotten this kobo!!!

This is one of the recommendations I got from watching "A Friend of Dorothy" - very much recommend the short!!! - and I had been waiting to be able to read on my kobo to borrow it from the openlibrary... it doesn't work there, but I still really want to read it!!! It's been awhile since I read a play but I really love it as a format so much!!!

Não estava a adorar os pontos de vista e depois chegamos aqui e ele faz o mesmo argumento, que eu faço desde que era miúda - as vezes que eu defendi esta ideia à minha mãe - mas sim, eu concordo apanhar o transporte que demora mais tempo, pois dá-me tempo para ler interrompida, e não tenho de estar a fazer transbordos.

I was pondering if I would read this now or leave it for a later time, but picking it up now, because it just makes sense after Sailor Moon!!! I'm so excited for this!!! Magical Girls have been a part of my life since my childhood, and this character being 29 and still figuring out her life is very much fitting!!!

Agradeço tanto este ultimo bocado ter permitido um olhar ao lesbianismo no tempo de Salazar... por múltiplas razões, não temos tanta informação sobre relações entre mulheres, parte da história está mais perdida, por isso foi bastante interessante ler estes relatos da prisão de Tires

Joana is here!!! AHHHH!!! But also I don’t remember this storyline from the anime, so curious about this entire deal with her saying she’s the Princess!!!
