Authors stop making Michelangelo attracted to women challenge.

I am obsessed with him and Vittoria being cute but they don’t need to have sex!!! That’s why their relationship is so interesting and intense, that they weren’t into each other sexually!!!

IM SCREAMING THIS IS SO GOOD, DAPHNE I LOVE YOU AND SAM IS SUCH A GOOD GIRLFRIEND

Oh to be able to block books so I don’t have to see them on my feed.

This book is so bad but I’m reading 1) to find out how much they bring up Faust and 2) to find out how unhinged the narration can get.

Dang this is really good.

The word bubbles are just all over the place on the page and it’s really hard to read.

So far I’m enjoying this, especially the dynamic between the two leads but then of course there’s the sudden sex that OF COURSE they have to have. Can literature not be predictable for one minute please.

Probably going to DNF this one. It’s insanely dense and I’m just not smart enough for this one apparently.

It’s a good book but I’m still not getting the Faust vibes it’s supposed to have.

Who asked for all this Wagner porn?

Very 2009 of this to say “[otaku culture] at its worst spawns and almost autistic, inward-looking possessiveness” on page one.

Really slow going for me. I like the fantasy/horror moments but there aren’t many of them.

OH THANK GOD THEY GOT LITTLE SATAN BACK

NOOOO THEY CANT FORGET LITTLE SATAN

"The apartments you rented us were near the city central ... I wish I could remember more about them, but we weren't in Russia for very long."

Or you don't want to be bothered with describing them. This book doesn't give us any cultural detail, despite taking place in so many cultures.

So far it's okay but the detail is incredibly lacking (like we're told about a city being lively but we don't get anything specific that makes it so, and there's almost no historical detail except a few vague dates). I hate saying this but the way the theme of abuse is being handled is boring. I'll have more thoughts when I'm done but that's it for now.

Time to read this absolute masterpiece of a series

Claimed to be the scariest book/movie ever let's gooooooo

Goodreads gives a different # of pages than the kindle edition so I'm going by percentage. Hoooooo boy I do not like romance books but I'm sticking it out to see what happens with the non romance plot. Apparently Hotspur is going to be in it.

Omg two characters are named for Weird Fiction authors. As if I couldn't love this book enough already.

Found this on archive.org and reading it for guano and giggles. Basically nothing is right but the illustrations are cool. More nonfiction needs full-color illustrations.,

I must have read this book a hundred times as a kid, I'm remembering every page as I see it and it's bringing back memories. This was definitely one of my main Monster Kid media.

WHYYYYY does Elizabeth Mortimer Percy (aka Kate Percy in the plays) have to be such a brat in this? I hate her characterization.

This is lurching between great and shockingly horrible in an "Oh God why would you write that" way (of course we needed more homophobic treatment of Richard II). I'm also not sure I'm liking how Elizabeth Mortimer Percy is being characterized. But honestly, Hotspur is done really well, with ADHD, chronic anxiety, and PTSD, my favorite way of playing him, so I'm actually enjoying it despite some bad spots.

Hooooooo boy I'm only two chapters in and there's a lot to unpack here already. Needless to say I'm not a huge fan of Gaunt, Richard, and Henry bullying young Harry.

Abby's first mistake is to take the blame for the acid, rather than ratting out Margaret. How did she not think she was going to be blamed for what happened to Gretchen. Though also kids are stupid and in 10th grade you don't really think consequences through then so probably that's it but dangit I'm mad at Abby.

So far not as bad as the previous book in Richard's era that I've read from this author, a less annoying MC, but I'm about halfway through and I was promised Anne of Bohemia would be in this and she hasn't even gotten to England!!
