A Berkley debut slam dunk is very gratifying

Sevro ❤️‍🔥 I love a runt lowk

There is nothing in this world that can match the feeling of reading a book like this

This book is incredible and long which is the best combo

Liz told me at the Christmas party I had to read this book she acquired but jfc the content warning list has me reeling already HAHSHSA

This is the best romantasy series ever written zero contest. Tahereh Mafi brings me to tears of awe and fifteen minutes later I’m laughing my ass off.

Do 🤔 you 🫵 mean 🙀 to tell 🗣️ me 🫷the king 🤴 is NAKED 🍆 in your room 🧼 splashing 💦about 💦 in a TUB? 🛀

They had us in the first half ngl I am not embarrassed to share that Rowan’s return brought a tear to my eye. I’ve always liked that freak!

Haven’t read this in eleven years and the first sentence gave me whiplash 💀 why are THESE the books from my childhood that got famous let’s see if this reread helps me remember the hype

“Life cannot be experienced one emotion at a time. It is a tapestry of sensation, a braided rope of feeling. We must allow for reflection even when we suffer. We must reach for compassion even when we triumph. If you spend your days waiting for your sorrows to end so that you might finally live, you will die an impatient man.”

I think it’s an allegory about evolution. I’m speechless bro I’m SO gagged and jealous of the girlies who read this as a child!

Lowk shocked we haven’t sold this in Italian yet. Another Ali pub under my belt can’t believe I started at PRH when LOVE THEORETICALLY was the latest time flies.
Also Ali only writes about academia and W-2 people falling in love and it’s like girl tradies are so much fucking hotter

It is absolutely mind boggling how good Kuang is at writing

This book my grandpa gave me has this anecdote about how the military was the only industry in the US interested in airplanes when they were first invented and how a lot of our major innovations in our country’s history are thanks to the military, i.e., inspired by desperation and necessity. I suppose it makes sense to see this perspective in a book given to me by general O’Roark…

LETS FUCKING GO we are so back babyyyy I am giggling on my walk to the train

The scathing review of Christianity and white supremacy in this book is exquisite!

This is what I want all the fantasy I read to be like. Utterly scrumptious & romance without sex scenes? Sign me up! Why can’t I be mortal queen of faerie smfh so jealous of protag.
This is what ACOTAR series would be like if it was good, yeah I said it! (I haven’t read those books since I was 15 so pls don’t get too offended ladies)

It’s so funny that this is my job.

All I can say is if you’re a Rebecca Yarros reader and a Sarah J Maas reader but you haven’t read Cassandra Clare’s entire body of work wtf are you doing. This book is so dark Jace coded I am feeling like I’m 13 all over again :D

“The great privilege of great power is an incuriosity about those who lack it.”

I wish this was required reading for all humans

Oh THIS is a good book

“The pandemic continues, and the supposed ‘light at the end of the tunnel’ is a return to normalcy concocted by a government eager to restore the status quo that delivered us to this moment. In the interest of capital, we are being sold a narrative of recovery that ignores the structural failings that have magnified the impacts of this catastrophe.”

It’s like I always say, only take book recs from the person you read SJM and Cassie Clare alongside when you were 14!

This might be one of the best books I’ve ever read

I love when a book is good

This book is absolutely bonkers and I kinda like that.

Wait but guys what if this is actually a really good book or am I just high

2 minutes in and I’m already cringing I am so excited

I am really interested in the commentary being made about the value people see in one another—heathcliff being disrespected and growing up to value hareton over linton. Hareton being technical nobility but being unable to read or write, Linton having no status, better education, and being physically weak. Heathcliff valuing hareton over linton even though hareton is his enemy’s son. MESSY!!
