I wanted to start reading Master of Djinn and realised I don't remember these prequel stories so on a reread we go :D

Okay, so this is basically like the "Bedazzled" movie, but with lesbians? Well, alright then :D

"Curving her fingers, [redacted] put her hands to the wall and began to climb. She looked completely human, yet her movements were reptilian" LMAOOO OH MY BOY JONNY HARKER WOULD HATE THIS LIZARD FASHION!!!

This scene feels very Twilight-like lmao

"She looked between Yoo Joonghyuk's black coat and my white coat before opening her mouth. "By the way the way, are you a couple?" "…It is just a coincidence. It is a common design." [The constellation 'Demon-like Judge of Fire' is delighted for an unknown reason.] [A constellation who likes to change gender has shining eyes.]"

- LMAOOO everyone ships them so hard?? I'm SO here for this!!

okay I Know it's hard to accomplish in a dangerous world where the resources are scarce but the fact that some of the requirements for this one scenario are 3 meals a day and at least 6 hours of sleep is hilarious like??? you WILL keep up a healthy routine or your WILL die

lmao

it's unreal how much I'm enjoying reading this??? NO WAY it's a 4000+ pages long novel that takes me out of reading slump lmaooo

Me: *struggles to finish any book for months*
Also me: hmmm... I'm in the mood to pick up a bit of light reading of a 4000+pages long novel, that seems like a good idea :)

so how i understand this story so far is that this girl is running around lying to herself and everyone around her saying that all she cares about is her sister but actually all she does is being horny for every good looking man is her vicinity?? which is also clear to every single character in this book but her?? ngl it's kinda hilarious

Scarlett, honey, sit down and be fcking for real rn you're fooling no one

I'M FEW DAYS LATE BUT IT'S DRACULA SEASON BABYYYY!!!

"[...] this was what it meant to be holy"

OH THAT'S FINE DON'T MIND ME I'LL JUST BE ABSOLUTELY SCREAMING FROM ROOFTOPS OVER HERE

oh i have an absolutely horrible feeling about thissss

"[...] ingestion of this substance should create a state that appears like death for three hours. When it wears off…” [...] “The organism awakes, like it was never dead.” - oh right. i actually forgot i was reading a Romeo & Juliet retelling lmaooo

funny story. I picked up the sequel and immediately realized I remember almost nothing of the actual plot (I just remember the romance huhu), so here I am on a reread :D

ah yes. with reading this book come the consequences of my actions (have never read jane eyre)

The Six Families did not discriminate by skin color, so neither did [...]. But the inherent racism and bawdiness of these Flashman books had always struck him as flavorful and fascinating all the same. Self-hate was intrinsic to the entire human race. [...] When they could not find enough their own selves, human folk went looking for flaws in their neighbors. Delicious, that tendency.

- racism? flavorful?? bro what.

so,,, i found out i'm no longer motion sick when i try to read in the car??? i have no idea what kind of sorcery that is or how it possibly could have happened but this is Life-changing Discovery oh wow?? I have become a New Man for sure!

i'm so excited to see how many horror books i can manage to read this october!!

yeah i'm absolutely Not Ready for this book but i don't think I ever will be so here we goooo

alright, let's see what the mxtx hype is about lmao

no offence but it's been a While since i've encountered a character that annoyed me as much as gregor dandolo. i just wat to punch him in the face so badly!!! why can't he just stfu?? please, i'm in tears on my knees begging!!

ugh this month i've got myself into a huge reading slump and reading's been a chore buuuut I AM enjoying this book a lot and would Love to finish it this weekend (ideally) so let's do this, shall we?

Unwritten books yearn, and unwritten books change. Yet we expect them to remain timeless. I would say that’s an accurate description of Hell.

People see queerness as such an anomaly, as if there aren’t that many of us. But what if we’re actually the norm, and we’re all just in hiding?

- oh. okay,,, listen-- Listen!!! This book!!! I swear!!!

AHA!! I knew it!! I wish I could say it was bc I'm so clever but tbh the foreshadowing for this was just *chef's kiss*

“Some people are born with sensitive skin! So what if they end up liking certain types of wool better than others? It’s not a choice, now, is it? Meela has her own wool preference and you need to accept that! I, for one, love Meela the same no matter what kind of wool she prefers!”

- love this part bc it's obvs Not about wool, but it's so funny? Is she... you know. Born with too sensitive skin to wear itchy wool?

"Who’s Amathia?” I said. “A girl back home. She’s not my girlfriend. Yet. But I’m working on it by sending messages to the universe.” “Is it working?” “I think so. Yesterday I saw a chunk of moss shaped like boobs. I think it’s her, sending messages back.”

- I'm????

I’m telling you . . . queer people . . . we’re everywhere! The industry—this country!—just doesn’t know it yet.

- why is this part punching me in the stomach pls

“Wow” is all I can say. I drop down to a crouch, falling into what can only be described as a contemplative ahjumma sitting pose, since it’s how a lot of Korean aunties at the market sit while they sell their crops.

- lmaooo stealing the 'contemplative ahjumma sitting pose' phrase Immediately

I know why I’m supposed to have feelings for him, but in the end, what really gets my heart racing is the thought of Korean fried chicken. 'Yummy and crispy and fried to a golden brown', I think while staring into my costar’s eyes. 'Just the right amount of greasy, perfect with some pickled white radish and a can of Diet Coke.'

- LMAOOO i'm already loving thisdbdhajajd
