I don’t want to discuss the correlation between my recent hyperfixation on high fantasy novels and the fact that I am studying the most boring & tedious qualification imaginable. it is like a (less cringe) circa 2023 when I exclusively read paranormal gay romance.

in hindsight, reading this at night in a tiny cabin in the woods in the middle of NOWHERE where I have to go outside to pee was not my brightest idea

right so I’ve decided to listen to every audiobook that Moira Quirk has ever narrated

the implication that God himself attended Otago University literally never fails to delight

just purchased this with Maeve for $55 (collaboration) and we are about to be SO annoying 🤞

canonical implication of Hades being the father of Adolf Hitler is beyond my imaginings

super glad I’ve never actually had a conversation about this series in real life because listening to the audiobook has revealed that some of my pronunciations are very creative, I don’t want to talk about Harrow’s last name or Aiglamene

phenomenal audiobook narration by Moira Quirk. I am so excited for them to get to Canaan House so that she has to do more voices

this is my current audiobook fixation, everyone be so glad I didn’t read these as a 12 year old. I would’ve been on fanfiction dot net like you would not believe

me and this 500,000 word book are in a constant battle of wills mostly because, as much as I know I should, I do NOT care about Dalinar

❤️ peace and love

known mormon Brandon Sanderson beginning to sprinkle a little of the LGBT into his books as a treat is crazy to witness

i am currently reading 3 books at once. pivoting from Brando Sando to historical vampire romance is jarring etc but i am very brave

how much, as a white author, should one be leaning into the inherent racial issues of the late 1970s in Mississippi within a book published in 2002? I am forming my own conclusions

locked in

lowkey me

bisexuality? in my YA novel?

slow start but fine. I’m yearning.

WHAT IS HAPPENING

ok I am all in on this heterosexual romance

ok fine what if I’m really invested?

honestly a braver author would be implementing a throuple. but that’s none of my business

me when all the seperate POV characters begin to cross paths with each other 😻😻😻

[hozier voice] I’LL TELL ‘EM PUT ME BACK IN IT

experiencing unprecedented levels of stress

my favourite part in this incredibly well-written and emotive series is simply:

“That’s right. He is Charls. I am Charls. We are cousins,” said Charls, gamely. “Named after our grandfather. Charls.”

I am not one for posting reading updates but I finally reached Freddy Kassab’s footnotes in the testimony and ohhhh my god. what an incredible man.
