Elle (ellexamines on TT & Substack) > Recent Status Updates

i was going to sleep at a normal hour but right now i'm lying on my bed crying to the audiobook. so that plan was a failure

god this is the best book i have read all year

....I am simply bored

OBSESSED with this

still kind of not sure how to feel about this one, but improving!

aaaaaaand i am officially obsessed with this

oh no. this is not as good.

fellas is it gay to confess your deepest secret to your wife and then step in close to her and stare deeply into her eyes

so far I’m absolutely loving this.

I am FULL of anxiety

this book is so good, it’s infuriating

um WHAT

this is excellent so far!

Hi! This is just to let anyone who follows me on Goodreads know that I've started going by Elle, instead of Elise! In case you're wondering who the hell you're following <3

absolutely loving the intro to this

I think I let myself forget just how utterly obsessed I am with this book??

the way that Katsa is such a developed and interesting character. the way that this romance is so dynamic and excellent. the FORESHADOWING. the way I’ve reread this book probably upwards of ten times and I still am so obsessed with everything about it. also oh my god I missed Katsa

okay I don’t know what page of the normal version this would be (I’m reading the trilogy compilation) but there’s a romantic scene in this book that is so well-written it is actually going to make me go nuts. Holly Black thank you for the rights

what if we were both assigned to the same household to work, after having a fallout four years previously over the politics of class...... and we were both girls

okay this is really really incredible

this is SO good.

I don't understand how some of you aren't on Goodreads all the time. What are you doing? Working? Writing your papers on time? As I am supposed to be doing? I simply don't believe it

this is really. um. brutal?

this is messing me up.

update: basically none of my opinion has changed since my last update

interesting so far. i have a very strong favorite in terms of characters and it's weirdly enough the only man. (although i like margot a lot too.)

okay like the setup and premise of this... you have my attention!

well, it’s been a year. how’s everyone doing on lockdown?
