have never been happier to like sort of unpopular book series where every single volume is immediately available to borrow on libby

whenever i see people log their books as read for their english degree i get so jealous. that should be me

so far still more vibes than plot but that’s okay. got vampire rick rolled for the second time this year by not reading the blurb (first time was sinners)… pleasant surprise tho

nobody told me this was 800 pages

just now coming to terms with the lack of jon snow/dany/tyrion pov… this is my fate for the next 900 pages???!!!

actually surprised i liked all of her past books

re-reading every single emily henry book one after the other is really effective if you actually want to appreciate the little crossover references to the larger literary universe she’s created because personally i did not catch a single reference during my first reads….

i’m on limited social media time so i have to get my dopamine fix somewhere

i couldn’t help myself

what an interesting choice to write one of your povs in first and the other in third person does ali hazelwood always do this??

i’m having a hard time imagining her green high backed long sleeved dress with pockets to be anything close to sexy or classy like how can that look good i’m sorry

after nine hour shifts my brain can’t take anything intellectually more demanding than this i’m sorry

(proof for that is the fact that i wrote nine hour shits first…)

i keep getting lost in the narration. as in losing the plot. in a bad way i can’t focus

‘On Sunday Gus came to my house looking like he’d started going through a trash compactor only for it to spit him back up halfway through. I felt at least as bad as he looked.’

love how half of the description of gus are how hot and dark he is and the rest is just how he looks like shit

He bit into it. “You try writing bleak literary fiction, see if that’s who you are now, if you’re capable of being that person”—I rolled my eyes and snatched the last bite of donut from his hand. He went on, unbothered—“and I’ll write a Happily Ever After.”

stealing deep fried dough from your secret lover is so challengers coded

to be seen is to be loved

on vacation and i’ve read all the TJR and emily henry books available to me so what else is there to do but reread one ??? (very much open to suggestions!!!!!)

might devour this in one night which feels a little wasteful (i bought my own copy for once)

impulsive overpriced shakespeare and sons buy

starting this during finals was a big mistake

jane eyre the inventor of boundary setting??

everything’s rosy and romantic rn but i still have 200 pages left……not a big fan of this

we’re soooooo back‼️‼️‼️

whartons dialogue is so delicious

leave it to sarah waters to make up the most niche and slightly bizarre historical late 19th century setting and then turn it lesbian (filling the marktlücke in a way we’ve all been waiting for)

i have to read this and write a paper on it until tomorrow 2pm and me being absolutely delusional i have now decided to read this front to back tonight and write the paper in the morning

“Proserpina says, “You might need your claws.” I wonder if she thinks of my nose as a snout, my hair as fur, my feet as paws.”

because animalization and consequently dehumanization then justifies and legitimizes all kinds of injustices! love how this has nothing to do with reality whatsoever! very much just fiction haha!!

thank god for the cover cause i could not imagine his C necklace for the life of me

praying i will not get bored of this bc the first few pages have been genuinely hilarious - tell me why authors being funny 200 years ago hits different

“but my name, auntie - my names regina dallas”
i said : “it was beaufort when he covered you with jewels and it’s got to stay beaufort now that he’s covered you with shame”

the DRAMA !!!!!! speechless
