Ok this tracking method is getting messy cos I’m reading 3 fics simultaneously. 2 for book club and 1 for fun. Almost forgetting that’s what fics are for T_T why am I reading sad fics out of obligation??
- dreamland is fantastic! Unhinged. But fantastic.
- manacled (chrono). Flashback is so sweet if you don’t know what’s coming after. Already heart wrenching and it’s not even the heart wrenching part yet

Celia is an extremely unbelievable character lol. Not unlike any of Kate Quin’s heroines in her stories and I’m a sucker for these historical fictions. Septimus is such a tragic character I wish he had a better ending. :(

The Jeannie chapters are so much more interesting than the Celia chapters

Pre simulation consultation is my favorite story so far. Very black mirror-esque.

The six deaths of the saint was.. wild.. and dark. Reminds me some good and dark star crossed lover senlinyu. Alix e harrow is the only author on here I know and no surprise she’s soo good.

Ok I should’ve seen the twist coming. Book is redeemed.

What are these Mickey Mouse characters!!

Oh my god this lady is being so obvious!! How’s every other character blind!? Was Mr. Ripley this obvious?!

Celia and Daphne’s friendship reminds me of the rose code

Green light - Not sure if my love for purple prose is diminishing or the writing here is just too on the nose. I def understand why people say it’s poetic and beautiful but it’s just not hitting for me

How can Carissa and I have such different tastes!! Green light is kinda butt and at 45% I don’t see how it could be better.. 400k words and not even hea 😭

I freaking guessed right in a mystery novel for once!! still loving the book! One of my first non fanfic reads in a while

Thank god for fanfic audiobook. The first 20 chapters are slow and the angst is hard to read.

Reading green light. Very slow start and very weird characterization.. better be worth this non-HEA read >_<

Love the writing and love the audiobook narrator’s voice! Interesting story so far! My theory is that the brother, not the dad, was the murder!

Oops I joined the good guys was so delightful!!!!!!! A funny dramione instead of a dark one?! Unheard of. Super fun to read!

Trudging through the rereads!! The goobers are even gooberer during reread.

For book club - oops I joined the good guys. High hopes for this book to be funny so :D

IWMYP

really promising premise but unfortunately rather poorly executed. I think the broad strokes of the plot were really interesting but the details just don’t hold up and I couldn’t suspend disbelief for most of the book.

The romance was made too convoluted and segmented by the time travel so I never bought it. The only gripping part for me was original timeline Draco. And he never got his happy ending. :(

I cannot wait for this this book (iwmyp) to end T_T

Trying to speed run the GAs for both books as well - gotta get ready for onyx storm release!
