halfway through this damn book and theyve only just gotten to their first class at magic school. i have a headache

in this exciting world where greek gods are real, if you chew a magic gumball a guy will climb through your window on the 7th floor and help u with ur homework. dont ask me what myth that's related to. thank you tracy wolff <3

what they did to bunny is so fucked up you guys im serious. my first readthru i was sympathetic to richard and really got lost in his perspective, but it's so striking to me now how fucking scary the greek class is

sorry for having a surface level engagement with the text but bunny and richard have so many parallels it's really striking me this time around. also lmfao richards fav book is the great gatsby and he "relates to gatsby" girl you are NICK (smacking him over the head)

the concept of bunny casually mentioning he bought a pink bathing suit with flowers on it for his trip to jamaica. in the same damn scene he’s making homophobic jokes about the waiter. while he’s dining alone with richard AND drinking a cocktail with a little umbrella in it

im listening to the audiobook and its driving me crazy because im noticing so many things on this reread and i can't annotate like i want to. just some really delightful foreshadowing!! richard talking abt how he would have joined a cult in california- then does just that in hampden. julian saying his students are boring bc he knows exactly what they will do- he's culpable. his influence over henry is v scary, too!!

im back in the fucking building !!

my boy siegfried got offered a job in the british intelligence service and wrote them back a rejection letter saying that his only qualification for the job was having been shot in the head. now hes joining the socialist movement. what a guy

i neeeeeed to have a beer with this guy

i'm trying but god damn, short stories are still not working out for me

i finished this two days ago and am writing my review + i need you all to know that it's approaching 2k words

words cant even describe my loathing for this book

gansey is about to kill himself and im at work this is SICK and TWISTED

ronan/adam kiss... (running around in circles) (fist pumping) (hollering) (no survivors)
thanks maggie girl . you are crazy <3

teenage boys will literally rather go put bugs on each other in a dark basement hole rather than go to therapy

ADAM PARRISH the CHARACTER that you ARE

i just want to be in this book i don't want to be anywhere else

i can't believe maggie is giving me ronan/adam romantic tension just like that!!! it feels like christmas i'm literally jumping for joy!!!
also colin greenmantle panstless eating his charcuterie crackers while his wife is at gunpoint you will always be famous

harry styles and jake gyllenhaal are in this book and theyre both DEAD

fuck my whole life

this is dense but soooo good. it's like rebecca by dumaurier almost; very gothic and uneasy. what if you were a ghost haunting yourself? what's more real, a past you dont remember or a new life you feel you have no claim to? and the fetishization of memory in this... fascinating

why did adam call ronan "savagely handsome" and why did ronan describe adam as "elegant" i know what you both are

girl did declan just get beaten up by slenderman

the framed picture of steve martin is so iconic

this chapter just ended with the line "Father... I am the new White King." im on the fucking floor

thomas jefferson just showed up

bookclub with my dad lmfao. sorry raven boys, glenn comes first

gay people drama has been- and will always be- the messiest thing ever. i feel like im watching a soap opera in the best way possible

listening to the audiobook and hooolllyy shittt
