Dolly is a parent-ified protagonist to rival an Emily Henry novel

Damn they hate women.

If I took a shot every time he said “when morning-born dawn touched the sky with her fingertips of rose” I would have alcohol poisoning.

Kageyama hitting them right back with that setter dump!!! Yeahhhh!!!

“But even if it was only for a short while… we were there too.” Haikyuu is the best series ever because it constantly reminds you that everyone, no matter how small a role, has a story. Ughhhhh the epic highs and lows of high school volleyball !!!!

The way the audiobook narrator (who is also the translator) says Nausicaa gives me hives. I refuse to believe that my Greek professor led me astray in pronouncing her name all these years.

Calypso just showed up let me actually pay attention now

Karasuno and Nekoma meeting for the first time, not knowing they’re about to form life changing friendships… God it’s so good !!!!!

I do find it interesting that they immediately show Noya’s face in the manga when talking about Karasuno’s Guardian Diety, whereas in the anime he remains shrouded in mystery until you actually meet him. Dare I say I like the anime better for this change?

I need to find the original Greek to see if it calls Telemachus “sensible lad” as often as the translation I’m reading does because Oh! My! God!

50 pages in and he’s already reminding me why he’s one of my favorite authors of all time

I think it’s so funny that one review said the first half of this was so good and the second half was meh, because I feel like I am finally super invested and I’m almost done

Ohohoho I hope this is turning into working with your ex (who is also still magically bound to you as your husband and wants to kill you) because the man you thought you could trust ALSO wants to kill you, and also your current husband’s sister.

Do you ever stop and think about how, prior to Karasuno, Hinata had friends, but not a team, and Kageyama had a team, but not friends? Kind of life changing stuff tbh.

Something came over me idk

I cannot tell if I am too stupid to understand the magic system, or if the author doesn't understand their own magic system and that's why everything comes across as vague.

As soon as the first rain drop was mentioned I was like “they’re going to have to close the roof…” I love being right.

Austin saying he was 10 when One Direction released Drag Me Down. I’m geriatric, apparently.

I love that this book creates all of these fictional tennis players to avoid becoming rpf but then Billie Jean King still gets to be there. Good for her.

The writing might not be great but I am eating this uppppppp

If it takes 77% in for me to finally feel interested in something happening, then your book is bad. Sorry.

"I had to subscribe to ESPN Plus." LMAOOOOO this means nothing to anyone who does not regularly watch the US Open, but it means everything to me. Edward Schmit knows ball.

“But Esther, don’t you remember what day it is today?”
“No.”
I thought it might be Saint Valentine’s day.
“It’s your birthday.”
And that was when I had dumped the roses in the wastebasket.
/ Fuck…… /

Between “Welcome to the defense of the British Empire” and the characters immediately suspecting the crew of non-English people as responsible for the crime…… genuinely said “NO?????” aloud to myself.

Listening to a One Direction playlist before his match… I understand him

I fear I am unbelievably bored.

“I don’t really care about Formula One, but maybe I’m becoming a fan.” 😭😭😭😭😭

Cleveland mention !
