pure book

see this is how you write stories involving fandoms that aren't cringeworthy and terrible

Eric Thorn is actually a complete dickhead. Really.

also, this is completely unrealistic. If you're a pop star and you tweeted a link to your single and then a picture of your abs, I guarantee you would not get TEN TIMES the amount of retweets on the abs. people follow pop stars for their music! if they don't, where's the explanation for girl groups having mostly-girl followings without a disproportionate amount of gay/bi girls?

I heavily dislike both these characters already

if u listen in the distance you can hear me screaming

they're... in love

how dare you?? meet me in the pit @ laini taylor

listen I KNOW this is kind of instalove but I could not care less? I fucking love this book

my best friend loves all my least favorite fantasy books and it's terrible

for once, I think I understand the hype! I'm reading this literally only because she's coming to my local bookstore tonight :')

IM CRYING WITH LAUGHTER AT THIS

okay the fact that leigh bardugo and emily skrustkie interact on tumblr? added twenty years to my life

i just *clenches fist* love and would die for both of them but also want to be both of them

okay so are we ignoring that Iko deserves way better than this asshole who keeps calling her emotionless??? How is this remotely romantic

THIS IS SO GOOD PRAGYA WHY

I don't actually own a copy of this so I'll finish it off tomorrow

“I don't mind being objectified” THORNE OH MY GOD

listen, we are all entitled to our own opinions on books, and I try to be nice to people even when I disagree with them about problematic content. that being said, if you're going to write a review that calls a same-sex relationship and nonwhite characters a “forced push for diversity” why on earth do you want to friend me??

this is really great!

So the first story made me tear up a little. I think I should raise my rating of this collection from 4 stars to 5.

nice quote

Idk how I feel about this yet I love the writing but it's boring

this is ADORABLE

@Marie Lu just fuck me up

it's good but it's almost entirely about horses and I'm kind of tired of it? don't drag me

my mother and I had a forty-minute argument today over whether these horses are dog-eating or man-eating
