“You have a nice voice.”
He pauses. “You must be tired.”
“What?”
“When you’re tired,” he says, “you forget to hate me.”

haven't read a book in a good while but of course, I will always revive myself from the dead to read ann liang's latest work.

"We're only ever playing fifty percent of a character. The rest is us, and we're afraid to show people who we really are."

reading this at snail's pace thanks to all the group assignments I have this semester ugh

in my dark academia mood currently.
borrowed a physical copy of this from my uni library and my god, I have not touched a physical book in ages, I'm so used to the epub life

“Because I don’t want a quiet life, I want a brilliant one,” I say at last. “Because I need to know what it’s like to win. To be the best.”

the way I'm breezing through this so fast (though I'm trying my hardest to go slower !!) ann liang's writing has something in it, I swear.

HAPPY RELEASE DAY TO ONE OF MY MOST ANTICIPATED READS THIS YEAR OMG !!! can't wait to devour thisss

what will it take for me to find a 5-star read this year, my god.

reading this is really making the words dissertation and disorientation blur into each other and I'd say that's pretty fitting of the story.

I have many thoughts about Fitzwilliam Darcy. Namely that if he proposed marriage to me, I would say yes, aromanticism be damned.

lmao I can see where she's coming from

reading a couple chapters every now and then when the house is asleep and after I'm done with all my work feels nice :')

rereading ihtdfy cause why not :D

might just reread 'I hope this doesn't find you' soon even though it's been literally only two weeks since I first read it pls- is it time to go on my ann liang books reread session >>

“Dibs on having you on my team for the apocalypse,” I tell him.
Tom finally loosens up at that. “Like there’s anyone else I’d bother with at the end of the world.”

friends to lovers trope is troping >> on another note, god I've been so slow with reading the last few months ;-;

“Have you ever heard of a diary, Sadie? It might be a worthy investment.”
“Don’t disgust me. I would never write diary entries about you—”
He cocks his head. Smiles with his lips but not his eyes. “And yet it’s clear I’m all you ever think about.”

devouring this currently.

"You won’t be a footnote in history, you will be erased from it. It will be as if you had never lived.”

“I can see how that would be a horrifying thought for you,” Rowan told Goddard. “But I don’t have a burning need to make my existence the center of the universe. Disappearing is fine with me.”

'Let humankind be the saviors and the silencers. Let them be the heroes. Let them be the monsters.'

quick question: do I need to read the full caraval series to start 'once upon a broken heart' ㅜㅜ

"For all we know, we accidentally prevented someone from meeting their one true love.”
Aaron was disgusted enough to stop writing. “Their one true love?”

don't know if the book is short or it's just me breezing through the chapters.

this book just gets more interesting as it progresses, love how different the concept is and how everything is executed (no pun intended)

a friend let me borrow this one from the local library, thank god- I haven't read a book properly in ages, not to mention a physical copy

going to reread some of my favourites because I really can't seem to start any new books especially now that uni has been going on

For months they flirted and pretended and toed the line between enemy and friend, both knowing who the other was but neither admitting to it, both trying to gain something from this friendship but being uncareful, falling too deep without knowing.

ah, young love.

so there's a love triangle but I'm not exactly rooting for emory and baz to end up together,, baz deserves so much better.

"We are born of the moon and tides, and to them we return."

curiouser and curiouser, really interesting so far.

nearly forgot that my most anticipated read released today- two days into uni and I'm already thrown off track with my reading agenda,,

rereading one of my favourite books ever! the starting just brings this story to a full circle and I still remember everything so vivdly oml

“I’m afraid I have little use for things that have no purpose.”
“Why not have something just because it brings you joy?”

the dynamic between the love interests is amusing, to say the least.

why do I feel like dnfing this suddenly- the first half was pretty alright but I'm not feeling it so far in the second half,,
