My husband noticed i have a bit of baby blues, and because I didn’t stop talking to him about Heated Rivalry decided to get me some ‘hockey filth’ to get me to go back to reading. It is just what I expected from this book so far, will keep you updated.

So far so meh

I guess Chloe Gong thought naming the main male character who is Russian for some reason (?) Romeo would be too on the nose that this is a retelling of Romeo and Juliete, so now he is called Roma.

There is something very eerie about being away in another country and reading a line 'Hell is a campus', while the college you got your degree on is being occupied by a police and corrupt professors and a horrible dean.

Once again, I'm also underwhelmed by TJR and her writing. Her concepts are always so strong, but then it just dissolves into cliches and 'not like other girls' characters. I will finish this because it is my monthly audiobook on Spotify, but it's just meh.

You know the bar for writing characters from ex Yugoslavia is so low that I got excited Batuman wrote Svetlana who is not a prostitute with a good heart or a criminal and actually studies at Harward with the rest of them. And also that she knew that Russian and Serbo-Croatian are NOT the same language, but that they are similiar enough they could understand each other.

Only found out about this because Eric Bana did an excellent movie adaptation and I have had a crush on that man since his days as Hector in Troy.

In theory, I should be all over this, but it is not gripping enough unfortunately.

Reading these books kind of brings me back to my Tumblr days where I would stay up all night because I was too hyped to put them down. Kind of nice to have that feeling

As I told Nina in messages 'Paige is turning my hair gray' and also 'Samantha Shannon said you want diversity, I will give you diversity, now deal with it'

Trend balkanskih spisateljica koje mi vade srce na zivo i istovremeno lece sve bolesti se nastavlja i sa ovom zbirkom.

Oh this is getting intense, we're so back!

You know the bar for Eastern European characters (especially female ones) is truly in hell when I got excited Shannon actually wrote them so they are..get this PEOPLE!

Danica Panić, my love.
