Yeah, I’m totally getting some Eowyn merch in New Zealand. So glad to see that Peter Jackson didn’t “girlbossify” her but that she’s just always been ~that~ cool 😌

God, I love the Fool so much. I could read half a dozen more books about him. Oh wait... 😁

Why do most of my comfort media just have some guy who’s having the worst day of his life — every day? 🥲 So happy to be back in this world 🫶🏼

What a treat this reading year has been so far. This gorgeous amalgamation of history, memoir, poetry and womanhood is just another example of it. Flying through this and loving every second!

I forgot just how much I detested how over-crowded this book is and how repetitive. A slow burn romance is fine. But a slow burn everything is grating. I'm mostly just here for the friendships – and the House. The "plot" and magic are whack in this one.

A bit over a month to go until “I’m going on an adventure”, so now felt like the right time to finally, finally (!) finish this series (especially considering that I literally wrote my dissertation about LotR without having fully read the whole thing — oopsie) 🍃

Picking this one back up ☀️

Christ, this woman can write dialogue. It’s like I’m in a pub back in Ireland 🥹

Sometimes a romance just barrels into you and sweeps you off your feet 🥹 This is SO wholesome! I’m enjoying this so much more than HR and also a bit more than The Long Game. Harris has my whole heart (pun intended).

Oh, this is exactly what I needed ahaha

Evie: I can’t believe you told my little sister your name before me, while I’ve been referring to you as “boss” or “villain” all this time
Tristan *completely confused*: wdym? I literally have a sign in my office with my name on it!?

Something more lighthearted while I wait for my nonfiction hold to come in 👀

Me in the first third of this book: yeah, it’s good, but I can’t see myself getting attached enough to read the entire Elderling Realm stuff

Me now: well, shit 😭

Hillary, you’re testing me.

Oh, Hillary, you’re full of shit 🫠 But an excellent political memoir writer, even if this is so absolutely scrubbed clean of any critical thinking about US involvement in global affairs or any sort of admission of shortcomings.

Might as well continue the reread, especially seeing how this is my favourite in the series. Makes for good summer reading 🤷🏼‍♀️

PRK, my beloved! Finally got to the front of the queue. Curious to see what he’s got in store. I know next to nothing about this book.

While waiting for my holds to come in, this seemed like an easy pick, since it was available on audio 😅 I won’t deny that I find these books entertaining (at least the OG trilogy) despite Feyre being annoying & the writing being… not that great 😅 This is my third time reading it, so jot that down as “guilty pleasure” I guess

I have a growing suspicion that Erdrich is going to end up on my list of favourite authors ♥️

Love love love this tender story so far ♥️
