I'd forgotten that half the Cullens are just like "the solution to Edward wanting to drink Bella's blood is clearly to just murder her" they're so insane I'm obsessed

The chapters where all the vampires from various different countires arrive is a real test of this narrator's talent (or lack thereof) for accents. Endlessly entertaining.

It is objectively quite funny to give someone a house for their birthday just so they can go have sex away from you.

We're on the final stretch!!! Looking forward to this love triangle being resolved by Jacob falling in love with a baby <3

Have to say though, absolutely detest Ilyana Kadushin as this audiobook narrator. Every emotion is wrong!! The way she says "Belll-lla" drives me insane!!

Yes, I'm listening to all the Twilight books. No I do not want anyone's opinion on this.
Edward's gaslighting is particularly impressive in this one. A master of the form.

It's important to re-read Twilight sometimes. As an enrichment activity.

Lydia
Lydia is 40% done with The Silence Factory
I'd been concerned that this book didn't realise it's characters were gay but I'm happy to confirm that it does in fact realise it. I don't think it will end well though.
I'm being Very brave about the spiders. Didn't know there were spiders in this. Don't love the spiders. Hate listening to the scene where there was a spider crawling on someone's face. I am so exceptionally brave.

I first read this book over a decade ago and didn't like it, so thought I'd give it another go seeing as so many of my friends rate it highly. Also I've read two other Ishiguro books in the last year and liked both of them so maybe my tastes have changed!

It's been a hot minute since I read a poorly written book. How do I tell the author that I don't care about the exact clothing every single character is wearing?

Also how do I tell the author that I don't care about an American ex-army dude and his trauma from when he was in Iraq <3

I feel like I'm not meant to like his wife, but like, if I was repeatedly raped by my husband I think that I too would become miserable and depressed and kind of hate him. Maybe I'll start an Edith Defense Club.

Lydia is starting Housekeeping
I had to pause reading this because my brain wasn't working :( Starting again from the beginning in the hope that I have a functional brain again that has capacity to read literature!

Was given this book by a friend and informed that it is terrible and trash, but also that it's enjoyable trash. So yay for another book that will hopefully require zero brain power.
So far I've enjoyed a noblewoman from the early 17th century saying the words "you do know how to make a woman feel special". Felt really authentic. Loved it.

I'm like halfway through and there are essentially only two female characters, both of whom have only functioned as love interests so far. Will this be explained? Will it improve? Is it just that it is a book written by a man? Time will tell.

"Not visitors. Only Albert. I want Albert."
"The old comfortable silence settled down between them... and they were at one."
"Albert was so modest, so brave, so clever"
"Mike's honest face brightened as it always did at the mention of Albert."

Sorry but I think these guys are in love with each other. Not with women they've never even met.

Is there a play about Heracles that's actually interesting?
Anyway justice for unnamed daughter who sacrifices herself. I'd have let everyone die tbh.

I'm not saying that killing your children is the correct course of action when your husband marries another woman and exiles you. I'm just saying that Jason is a rotten piece of old chewing gum that's stuck to the underside of a desk <3

I've been putting this off for ages, because I didn't want to live in a world where i didnt have another Sarah Waters book to read. But the time has come where I don't want to put it off any longer! Now she just needs to publish another novel.

I might give up on this. Might be too slow and boring even for me, which is saying something. If anyone thinks I should continue though let me know
