Goodreads took down my review for an arc that I received because someone reported my review and that person claimed I didn’t say I received the arc for free?? I just went back to read my review and my review had made it clear that I received a free arc directly from the author. Can y’all please not report my reviews just because you disagree with me. 🙄

Chaol 🥵

I want a whole spin-off series following Penélope

Cirri was so boring to me that after I finished reading it, I ended up taking a nap instead of reading more tonight. Oops-

GO JIAN SLAY GIRL

This book so far has been 50% cheating drama and 50% boring house renovation talk. I hate it here 🙄

Gotta love how my least favorite character who is the definition harmful gay rep is on the cover 🙄

BRO WHAT

I rarely do updates in the middle of a reading session and pardon my language, but what the actual fuck is happening. Why did all the characters turn into shitty human beings and (spoiler) why is one girl recruiting a grown man to basically be a breeder for a colony of all women? I’m in shock and I’m so angry that I’m on the verge of crying

So many things happened in the section I read tonight and I almost cried so it was a very eventful reading session 🤍

//talk of sex


Real talk for a sec: why are the scientists in this book having more sex than the sex workers?? The mass orgy thing that happened with the scientists is actually wild

This is interesting but I am really not vibing with the writing style

I was so excited to start this one but I’ve been reading the reviews and now I’m scared that it’ll be a flop 😩

Why has there been so much book drama over the past few days? Yikes! I keep seeing stuff about Freydis Moon and Readers Take Denver. It's a mess!

I can’t add comments to the books I added to my no thanks shelf because Goodreads takes down any comments on specific books addressing an authors’ behavior (love how they protect authors’ terrible behavior 🙄) but all those books I just added are by one singular author who uses multiple pen names and pretends to be Latinx even though they’re white. Why do so many authors do problematic things??

I had to reread that fae stuff over and over to understand it. I was so confused at first 💀

Massive red flag for Dorian for the way he talked about killing that puppy 😡

“The pants, mercifully, were light gray, though his chestnut suede boots looked too new for masculine pride.”

What the heck does that even mean

Why is ACOTAR the most hyped SJM series? This book is already soooooo much better than ACOTAR

Celaena is going to have character development and not be this annoying throughout the whole series, right??

Also, I can barely spell these characters name so don’t mind me if I just start calling them things that are easier to spell. Like yessss Coal go slay, put Claritin in her place

I was not expecting to start a huge, chunky fantasy series this month but here we are ;-;

This might be my most disappointing read of the year so far 😭

If you notice any typos in my recent reviews, just ignore them. I'm on day nine of being really sick and I wanted to post my reviews before I forgot about them :(

I have a physical arc of a Veronica Roth book that Veronica herself gave me when I met her. Someone pinch me to make sure I’m not dreaming 😭🩶

Going from reading Kristen’s YA books to this is wild 🫣 That’s the longest I’ve ever seen one of those scenes and that’s assuming it doesn’t continue in the next chapter
