Not to be a bitch but tamlin begging on his knees to Rhysand is some whimp ass shit. Cannot wait for more of this Rhysand guy tho he is so dramatic and intense. Like a pop punk album in a guy lmao

I find this tamlin dude very boring and this book is like tamlin city

Know that I tried the graphic audio, got overwhelmed by all the sound, and now am reading the regular audiobook lmao

Need something to make me feel alive

I’m 30% in and I’m saying this bc I mostly am enjoying it but fuck me I wish someone had told this author to cut the Meredith plotline. There is truely no need!!

Reading this to prep for my baby, my diva, my most anticipated book of the year - Headlights!!

Reading my teenage memoir ❤️

I am disconnected from YA fantasy but I am wondering why these people, in the circumstances they are in need to be so young? I’m like 30% in and keep having to remind myself that these are teens on the page and not 20 somethings.

I guess maybe the shape of the world isn’t clear to me!

Needed himbo fiction in between historicals

I think I hate this fuckass blond man!!!

Girl…get up! He’s just some guy I beg of you to get a grip

It must be known I’m having the time of my life! This book is spiritually the omegaverse

I’m like 2 chapters in and the set up is this:
- they see each other at the world fair and don’t really speak but know they have to fuck. They fuck behind a screen. In public! It’s Victorian era England!
- He is surprised the fuck is so good bc he has an enormous cock. Like really massive! Defies the laws of physics huge! And she has a magical cervix. The best cervix he’s experienced. He must have her!

I need to adjust my expectations a bit. I do not think this was written for queers. It’s about us sure, written by one of us, but for us? Nah.

“I need this” I whisper to myself as I pull up my next teen slasher with poor reviews

This has gone in an incredibly wacky direction? Like when I picked this up I had a very different idea of what this would be

I think I like it??? I can’t tell!!

Why I start books the week of my performance is beyond me!! This is on the soft DNF pile

A DNF by force bc I have run out of audiobook time :(

Honestly I’m forever at the whims of my library holds! Do I want to read another sports romance? Idk

It’s time. Been saving this one for a rainy day!

It is so unfortunate and I mean so unfortunate that this book came out after the movie heart eyes. Not only am I finding myself comparing it to a scarier and more romantic slasher, she has named her killer heart eyes in this which will invite comparison. Comparison this book cannot compete with!!

Not the fucking Taylor swift lyric come ON now

Also to my bookclub I don’t hate this I just love slashers and am insane about them if they are meta. I’m having fun ngl

So far we have the name Jamie Prescott (after scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis), the red room (twin peaks), the bar is called craven (Wes craven) and the slasher rules are the same as they were in Scream and as established by Men Women and Chainsaws. Rules that have been fucked with since - mostly recently by Stephen Graham Jones. I want HER slant on the slasher not an iteration of what has worked before!!

I think a meta slasher is really hard to pull off. You have to know more than scream, your touchstones gave to extend past the 90s. I’m wondering as I start this what the point of making this referential is? Banking on nostalgia is not inherently interesting if you don’t do anything with it!

It’s slasher season apparently (this is the third I’m reading right now lol)

Fucking. Finally.

This book is built for a bitch like me. I literally cannot put it down!!

Dual timeline slasher, dead mean girls literally haunting the narrative, satanic forest cult, sinister loser men - it’s catnip for me!

Lmao forgot the first book had that fuckass misogynistic group chat! Could really do without it!!

God this is pissing me OFF.

“Feminism apparently lives and dies with white women! Horror is feminist bc I like it and seek it out for comfort!” Is terrible cultural criticism!!

Fucking Mamamia feminist nonsense my GOD

Also would it kill you to just be honest and say you are uninterested in horror as it intersects with all feminism? This is only about white women. The scope doesn’t extend beyond that!

It also props up liberalism as the be all end all - an annoying stance to take given what liberalism has let slide (war crimes, deportation etc etc.)
