Really enjoying this. It's fun. If I didn't have kids/dog/work I would be reading more of it more quickly lol

This is genuinely creepy, I can only imagine how it felt reading it when it was first published.

This is aggressively FINE but like. Why is Ginger Spice here like. Name dropped her real name multiple times lmao what

nothing has sounded very appealing lately, not even the rest of my kjc stack. can't believe I let jared get ahead of my in reading le guin :'(

I was annoyed they got rid of the picture book category, but the middle grade too? gca has generally been bad but like come ON.

Wanted something a little mindless to read while kiddo plays video games but idk if i can do the alpha and omega stuff lol

I have three more KJC books to read but I think i need to start weaning myself off

Maybe it's just me or the amount of irl stuff is distracting me but helene is just kinda dumb lol. I think if this wasn't ya and they weren't all late teens I'd enjoy it more.

going through KJC withdrawals

i think the pining is already going to kill me why the fuck do I have to work fuck capitalism.

Maybe it's age or this series specifically but im enjoying the fun of the romantic entanglements much more than I ever liked Edward vs jacob or any shojo love triangle

I'm actually really digging this - it could be because I just LOVE Fiona Hardingham has a narrator or I let enough of the book riot hype rub off.

Someone tell me if Tahir is somehow a z*onist or a cyberbully before I get too invested lol

This is really good tbh! Makes me wonder if it weren't YA would it be more well known?

But those letters Mary wrote got me choked up🥲

Random swipe at Drag Queens for some reason 😒

Okay they're FINALLY TRAINING AND FIGHTING

This isn't terrible but...I'm honestly rereading Comfort Me, Daddy too and this is so bland in comparison. The voice and characters just aren't as strong and feel more like flat caricatures.

Really struggled to get into this one and then I was and now it's a different character lol

God i know Quentin is like seventeen but the way women are described is abysmal. He sounds like an incel who just doesn't hate women lol

Only have Tortilla Flat and The Red Pony left. Might wait for the audios or I might just give in and read print.

Okay, he's Black so that makes a lot more sense lmao.

I know this was written in the 60's but what is this magical time where women's accusations against men are taken super seriously and men face consequences lol (and his speculation is about a false one!)

Finished book one.

this has been aggressively okay, which is kinda funny bc I put off reading it for so long. Instead of nightmares, I dreamed about rereading Morning Glory Milk Farm so that's probably what I'll do as soon as I finish this lol

I'm finishing on audio bc I do not care what happens lol

Last book

Kind of want to skip the short stories and just move on to the last book, but Le Guin thinks they're important so I'll just chug on! But man, Tehanu makes me really fucking side-eye Ms. Terf bc man, what a novel that was.

Finished book three.

Finished book two!
