i've tried to start so many other books, but all i really wanted was more Temeraire 🫰🏼

so far this is just 200 pages of a navy captain and a dragon being platonic soulmates (complimentary) (i’m loving it)

at this rate I might just finish the Realm of the Elderlings before I’m 50

back at it again starting books 48 hours before book club 🤡

no pressure to this book but i did specifically save it to be my first read of 2026 so...

once again ending the year with Adam and Olive the way god intended 🫰🏼

good thing I have 3 other unread Jane Austen books on my shelf so I can ignore them and read P&P again instead 🤠

I’m getting ice skates this weekend so naturally I am only capable of reading books that feed the hyper fixation 🤪

oh the things I do for book club 🙃

no pressure or anything but i do think rereading this book may fix me

if their name weren't printed in big blue letters on the cover you would have a hard time convincing me that this was written by the same author who wrote the masterpiece that is A Dowry of Blood

yet another book where the first 100 pages are absolutely eating. remaining ~400pgs pls pls pls don’t let me down 🧎‍♀️

oh this is positively scrumptious

it’s officially dark academia season babyyyy😌

leave it to me to schedule my work’s book club for next week knowing damn well I hadn’t even started reading this yet 🥲

Alice and Peter are reminding me of Nico and Libby from TA6 in all the best ways 🥹

I am chronically incapable of finishing books right now so let’s see if Miss Kate Goldbeck can fix me

ugh I forgot just how much I missed these characters 🥺

it's giving Ready Player One if Ready Player One didn't spend every page reminding you that it was written exclusively by & for Straight White Men

”The whole sky makes sense to me now, because of you” Houston I’m gaggeD 😭

maybe after another 200 pages I'll finally be able to remember which years are supposed to be the past and which are supposed to be the present rather than only realizing halfway through the chapter that we're in a flashback

I pretty universally dislike age gap & brother's best friend romances, but I also pretty universally love everything Ali Hazelwood writes, so here we are!

there was definitely an echo of pride & prejudice in that section and you can't convince me otherwise

ugh I've missed these characters so much

might as well scratch the itch to reread this series since I’m between audiobooks 😌

delectable

every time I reread this book I find new things to love about it 🥹

I'm vibing with the writing style generally, but it is definitely kinda exhausting being in these characters' heads

I fear my work book club is gonna hate this though lmao

this is your warning that reading this book in public means you will probably get weird looks from strangers wondering why you're giggling at your ereader like a maniac

imagine trying to explain this feeling to a non reader
