Just going through all the shortest books I have in in a (futile) attempt to lower my TBR count before the year ends.

Each touch feels like he’s dancing with fire. He’s standing between heaven and hell. Just jump. We can die in each other’s arms.

"Xia Xiqing, I’ve said this before, and I'll say it again. I will kill you if you mess around with other people." (...) "You only have me. Do you get it? No matter if you want to see me or not, you only have me."

I love it when a goody two-shoes turns into a psychotic alpha. 😏

The only way for him to start loving himself is to accept who he is.

”What is your ideal type, Xia Xiqing?”
(…)
Xia Xiqing speaks softly, “It’s someone luminous.”
Compared to the boundless night sky, the light of one star is very faint. But as long as the star continues to shine, it is not pure darkness.

Zhou Ziheng glares at the picture for a long while. Then, he backs out of the image and, teeth gritted, he changes Xia Xiqing’s alias to something more fitting:
Terrorist

Zhou Ziheng doesn’t stand a chance at all.
Now things are getting interesting. *evil laugh*

I miss Dom and Kempthorne!

When you enter a new chapter expecting a smut scene only to be hit by a very graphic description of a woman’s bloody delivery and other unsavory things. 😳😫

(The smut did come, but I’m already traumatized.)

.

You realize you’re in a niche segment when you’ve read 150+ books this year and none of them are in the Goodreads Choice Awards.

So I still don’t get it even until now. The older brother is called Sean Bailey, and the younger one is… Bailey Bailey? 🤔😬

After Becoming the Protagonist’s Inner Demon - ch 63

He raised his chin, pointing: “That kind of magical robe he’s wearing, I can give him eight or ten. If he wants spirit pets, I can catch higher-grade ones. No need to raise such a shabby third-grade one.”

Qiuqiu was angry: “Chirp!”

You’re shabby, your whole family is shabby!

Qiuqiu the spirit pet can curse. 🤭
Loving this book, btw.

After Becoming the Protagonist’s Inner Demon - Ch 8

Chu Jinglan’s fingers clenched and unclenched repeatedly. He looked like he wanted to find a block of tofu to knock himself unconscious with—if he couldn’t hear, all would be peaceful.

The day you can knock yourself out with tofu, Chu Jinglan, is the day you’re freed from your inner demon. 😂

He knelt amidst it all, and kissed the world of mortals.

🥲❤️🔪
.

These glimpses to their past are why I’m reading this. ♥️

Are they going to be solving cages till the end? It feels a bit repetitive now that they enter it for the third time.

Sawyer laughed. After the night-and-day difference between his first and second day on the job, he had to admit he was a believer too.

Yeah, I’d get a whiplash too with how fast Locke changes. Meanwhile on Sawyer’s side:

Day 1: lusting after Locke
Day 2: more lusting after Locke

😏

3rd arc done. Not sure how far my friend is with her buddy read.. lol… it’s radio silence. 🤭😂

But this book… I didn’t expect it to be on the spooky side like this.

On-hold for a buddy read next week.

In essence, when entering a place that had an owner, they needed an invitation to enter in order to display their respect and to also differentiate themselves from those monsters and demons.

So, he’s like a Chinese vampire? 🤭🧛

Last day of my Kindle Unlimited subscription! It’s been a great variety of (mainly) MM reading!

(And yea, I downloaded my last 20 books and am gonna keep my Kindle offline till I read all of them. 🤭)

On another note, I miss my danmei too, so I’ll start catching up with all those completed tl soon!

”You know what a PhD is?”
Katie nodded. “A lot of college. Like, a lot.”

🤣 I like this kid already.

.

Ugh, this is one of the worst audiobook narrators I’ve listened to. He sounds so robotic.

I guess I have to use my (tired) eyes for this one.

Tal Bauer really has talent in writing characters.

Kevin Trampoline??? 😩😂

His voice was rough and raspy when he spoke. “Serves you right.”

“Thank you.” I scowled. “By the by, how’s that Sympathy for Dummies class going?”

“I do have sympathy for one dummy in particular,” he said patiently.

Smashwords is having a BIG SALE, y'all.
It's a bit overwhelming to sift through the pile, but there are some interesting books there.
