Mom, I'm scared
(My mom's dead so it's not like she can do anything idk why I felt the need to include the detail)

Going through something like this irl pray for me y'all

Everyone here sucks

The start was so fun and now it's an absolute nothing burger I hate quest side plots so much DO SOMETHING

Friends/Familiars to Lovers trope finally being done right? Am I dreaming?

Finally, some good fucking food

I need to finish this before Sunday AKDHSKDHDKSHDKSJSK I DONT WANT TO BE SPOILED BY THE SHOW AGAIN

The writing is so trite. The first person pov narrative style is NOT working in the story's favor, and it doesn't help that Viktor is simply so bland. Maybe I went in expecting too much. This is supposed to be seminal work, but apart from a handful of inspiring passages this book is giving me nothing.

Justine, the poor girl.

Yeah, these parts were definitely very heavily edited because the amount of ecomiums about Christianity and the anti-islam rhetoric coming from the Creature of all people is glaringly obvious lol. How much is Shelley, how much an external editor, a censor? I guess we'll never know.

Yk you're an uncultured little boring twat when a creature you animated 2 years ago speaks more eloquently than you. Viktor, you're a fucking disappointment.

VIKTOR. SHUT THE FUCK UP. SHUT UP. JUST SHUT UP. OH MY GOD. I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE YELLED AT A WOMAN LIKE THIS. YOU'RE SUCH A RAT. YAPPA YAPPA YAPPA. JUST SHUT UP FOR A MOMENT.

Hamlet is the one cousin at the family function who's too woke

Can't wait to finish this and the next book until I reach a feast for crows and watch Jaime's redemption in real time. This man's arc is very important to me.

Gotta love a book that starts with the MC turning her brother into a pig

DNFed this a long time ago because it's just sex sex sex sex sex and more sex talk in these 20 pages alone. I'm pretty sure "Normal People" don't think about sex 24/7. Maybe it's a British thing.
Soldiering on because I spent money on this and I can't let it go to waste in THIS economy.

The book's sitting at solid 4 stars for now. Let's see if the ending is visceral enough to bump it to a full 5.

The primary question the story poses so far seems to be whether the defining trait of a human is their intelligence or their ability to feel. It's an interesting debate especially in the larger context of Charlie's character, seeing as now that his IQ has skyrocketed he seems to be less of the understanding man he was at the start of the book. Eager to see how this debate further unfolds.

Started this while I'm on my period and I've cried like 3 times so far. That's once for every ten pages. This book will devastate me.

My indifference towards Austen's writing makes so much sense now that I've found out that Charlotte Brontë, although greatly admired Austen, was not particularly fond of her work. Mother knows best.

Why am I not feeling this book on a visceral level?

James Thorpe, you conniving little cunt! Ahhh I hate this man so much.

Austen seems to have a habit of using lengthy sentences where concise sentences would flow more naturally. I hope this stylistic choice is limited to this particular book of hers.

I cannot determine how good of an idea it was to choose Northanger Abbey as my first Jane Austen novel, especially since I'm still riding the absolutely magnificent high of Jane Eyre (I will never stop thinking about that book, EVER) but I'm hoping to marry my literary senses into the groove of Austen's style gradually.

I miss my OG Day one Yapper Mr Rochester 😓 St John's yapping doesn't hit the same

Also ROACHester was low-key pissing me off he better get his shit together when they reunite like be done with your sob story we all got problems mf

Jane really said fuck it we ball when she left Thornfield like she had no prospects lined up and I low-key respect that wish I could run off into the wild with a bonnet, some bread and a pitcher of water

Mr. Rochester out here being an even better gaslighter than my mom; a feat I thought insurmountable.

This is the calm before the storm, isn't it? I can feel it in the marrow of my bones.

I'm laughing so hard right now Charlotte Brontë you absolute gem of a woman I wish I could kiss you right now
