I’m starting to understand why this is horror. Poor Daye can’t even feel angry without being told “Don’t be mad” and then her feelings disappear inexplicably, from her perspective. Also, the thought of things being done to her body without her consent is truly terrifying. I know Rory just wants a girlfriend, but Daye is not capable of consenting.

Finally! Wynne voices all the thoughts that I’ve been feeling. The thoughts that Rory himself had, but let lust overcome as he turned his best friend into a living s*x doll. I personally can’t imagine her ever telling him no, as long as he spends time with her. Also, if he thinks of her as a person, maybe he shouldn’t have experimented on her? I think he’s learned his lesson in regard to that though.

We like our flowers gay. It’s funny listening to books that have old fashioned words that mean completely different things that were definitely unacceptable when they were written.

Three pubs in a village of just over 100 people? Ireland seems crazy! I think we have like 2 bars in a town of 10,000. There are some more lounges and a lot of liquor stores though.

The narrator uses what is seemingly her normal speaking voice for the protagonist and a higher register for the protagonist’s best friend. The result being that when the protagonist feels strongly about something, the author shifts into the voice she uses for the best friend and confuses me. This isn’t one of the better books I’ve listened to.

She nearly died a few chapters ago too, but at least it was to save a person and not a toy. Also, another person had to risk their lives to save her both times. She’s kind of an idiot.

I know it’s sentimental and all that, but running into a burning building to save a stuffed animal is one of the dumbest things ever. Especially in a post apocalyptic situation where there aren’t fire fighters to rescue you or doctors to heal your burns.

As soon as Chapter Three started, the audio quality got way worse. It’s all far away and tinny sounding. It’s unpleasant to listen to, so hopefully it improves. There’s no way I can get a refund after like ten years!

This book is way more emotionally intense than I was expecting!

Never mind. Sherlock is okay. I was worried for a minute there…

No no no not Sherlock! Romance books can’t have pet deaths, much less pet murders! That is NOT okay!

Pride and Prejudice is incredible! I know the protagonist is supposed to be likeable, but I can judge her for not enjoying it.

Seriously, we were just thrown into all this and none of the existing dynamics were explained. I’m so confused.

I still don’t even really know how Taylor and Austen are friends. Is it because she’s an event planner for his parents’ hotel? Why is he so protective of her?

My boyfriend agrees that the narrator’s British accent is “not great”. It’s rather unfortunate given how much she ends up using it.

I don’t understand what’s going on. It seems like Chuck Bigley is supposed to be liked Mr. Bingley in Pride and Prejudice, but Jane Austen exists as an author in this universe. Isn’t that a little on the nose?

This narrator is fine when she speaks in her normal voice, but she keeps putting on these dreadful accents and making anyone the author interviews sound ridiculous. It’s making it hard to take anyone seriously. She really is horrendous!

Somehow, despite his earlier misogyny, I think the author would still hate Donald Trump as president based on his current rants about Western civilization. That, at least, is a relief.

It’s called AMD instead of ASD.

This description of being a wizard sounds a lot like autism in our society. Not gonna lie, being a wizard sounds way cooler.

Oh god. I predicted this twist, but it still hurts. Poor Feyre!

I’m getting “Kids These Days” vibes from the way the author is writing. I agree that lots of capitalism is messed up, but he’s talking as if the downfall of society is about to occur due to technology. He wrote this in the ‘80s and I know for a fact that we’re fine and Eastern society has not overtaken Western society. I want facts, not opinions.

I don’t know what to make of what I just read. Feminists (or Eeyore Amazons) are using Hyper-masculinity to make things confusing and suppress women? What? So what if a woman wants to keep her own last name. Yes, it came from her father, but it’s the name she was born with. Why can’t we have gender neutral terms? I thought I’d be learning about Taoism, not reading rants about the author’s beliefs.

As someone who tends to faint, I have no idea how they can’t tell she’s faking it. She’s basically just lying there with her eyes closed.

All staff serving the family need to be “attractive in appearance”? That’s messed up!

Their apartment is almost $500 a month? That sounds like a steal! Now I understand how they’re surviving on a wage of $15 per hour.

I know this book is kind of old now, but is $12 an hour supposed to be a good wage? The States is crazy!

This is giving me chills. I wasn’t expecting so much psychological horror from this novel. Everyone is absolutely losing it.

Seven hour detention cannot be normal, although I suppose blood quills are not either.

This book is too engaging. I should be sleeping!
