All of everybody is suspicious- also Hastings needs to chill about Mary Cavendish

The descriptions are just so beautiful, I love Lin’s attention to detail. Duke Meng is such a wild card, one minute he’s a huge dork, the next he’s a mystery. I can’t blame Xue for having a serious reality check when He told her the truth. I’d be freaking out too. Also who is Ruelin? (Sp??) and also the Ravengers are awful but so cool in an effed up kinda way.

CAM AND TOVA MET- I’m ready for the drama and the reason why cam is even in this book

Every bit warm, just what I need between shifts

Cameron is such a creep, my heart aches for Tova

I have been reading this book since I went to go see Mary and have just simply forgotten to log anything, I’m kind of in a reading slump. I haven’t been reading much, but I’m working on getting back into it. Work keeps me so busy that I barely have time for my own life. That being said so far this book is a magical delight. The visuals are gorgeous and I love the musical addition. Keepin me well fed.

This book is a warm hug on a rainy day, and a bowl of soup with toasted buttered bread.

Goodness I love re-reads

It’s so cheesy but I’m honestly here for the ✨drama✨ Dimitri and Rose have my heart (the age gap isn’t my favorite though- can we maybe stop sexualizing the 17 y/o? It’s 2008? Nevermind I guess.)

Still havin fun and here to say I’m not a Mason fan

Good ol cheesy vampire novel to deal with waiting for the sequel to Flame in The Mist. I’ve been meaning to actually finish this one- it’s all very Veronica Mars meets Buffy and I always have fun with Mead even if she tries to hard write Rose quirky lol.

An easy read, havin fun!

Holy baloney I really like this one. I’m enamored by Ōkami and Mariko and their subconscious trust of each other- the way they push and pull. God Bless low level spice and the graceful beautifully breathed love scene.

Mariko is not a fighter, she’s an inventor and I live for it

I’m getting so sucked in, Ahdieh is so breathtakingly brutal with her world building and I’m caught in the web of it all

Hello so very good- holy crap this book is good

I love this concept and when I have more time I’ll finish it lol

I’ll actually finish this someday

Oh wow. The plot circles. MIRANDA WRITES COMICS. PAPER WEIGHTS. JEEVAN. GAAAAAAAAH.

I’m simply magnetized, the first two chapters are so interesting and haunting.

For my lover, returning to his wife. Floored. Wow. No words.

This book is so strange but so captivating

Oh my gosh I’m already in love with these characters. Hazelwood has such a lively way of writing and I’m here for it- BANTER!!!!

Going through and seeing all my notes now is so magical, annotating is so worth it even if I read slower when I do.

Marcellus and Tova’s friendship has my heart. Also still not 100% sure why Cameron is here but he figured out who his dad is- is that one of the guys married to one of the Knitwits?? Also poor Tova getting hurt and the house key scene made me smile.

Poor Niggle, he just sort of gets swept up by everyone around him and can’t do much to make time stop going

Song for a red nightgown is incredible, I love the thought of an article of clothing carrying “two colors” love and lust?

Sophie is such a great big sister and I love this book so much, we had our first run in with Howl and are officially Granny Sophie

Drunk 11 year olds and some strange but pretty imagery— this book is real weird haha

Is good, totally called it on Ethan, Cam is awful but Brad, dude, timing. Guy just got broken up with. And oh “the bucket”

I’ve heard a lot of mixed reviews for this but so far the writing has been zippy and charming and I definitely could understand Prue’s dread, it’s not everyday your baby brother gets stolen by crows.

Sextons skill in conveying multi-level forms of love, erotic or otherwise, is consistently awe-inspiring. I’m having a lovely time.

This book so far as I’m listening to it, is such a bright (pun not intended but there) and refreshing change of pace from my recent reads, I especially love Marcellus’s inner dialogue and his chapters but I’m excited for more Tova and Marcellus interactions!
