After sitting on my TBR for 2 whole years...
Will I cry?

This is the kind of book I’ve been searching for to fill the void in my heart

End of chapter 27. Holy sh*t!!! WHAT THE

I’m quite enjoying this so far. Loving the audiobook too.

“Every year since sophomore year—freshmen can’t be prefects—I’ve been Head Prefect. It’s not luck, it’s science. I deserve it, no matter what anyone says.”

😂😂 love it

I love L but I also love H. Help 🥺

Holy cow, again? Where has this book been all my life. Yes, on my shelf.. but.. DAMN????? Sabaa Tahir is HELLA TALENTED

After many years of occupying space in my shelf, and after multiple failed attempts at making progress with this book.. I’m finally a few chapters in and holy cow??????

“I saw the latent danger in the storytelling, the caricature we were becoming, two billion Muslims quickly solidifying into a faceless, terrifying mass. We were being stripped of gradation, of complexity. The news was turning us into monsters, which made us so much easier to murder.”
,

I am really happy that I never read the synopsis. This is such a brilliant concept? I’m so curious to know why and what’s going on!
I never expected to get dragged into a mystery and I am low key loving it

“And she can’t believe Jane had the nerve, the audacity, to become the one thing August can’t resist: a mystery.”

How did I completely forget that there’s magical realism in this book!

Okay this is cute. This is very cute, very funny. I can’t stop reading 🥺

Being part of the minority that didn’t love RWARB, HERE GOES NOTHING!!!! Wishing lots of luck to myself for this

So far I’m really enjoying it

SOMEONES DEAD BUT THIS BOOK IS SO CUTE LIKE WHATT 🥴💀

Sudden change of thoughts from this point onwards.... idk how I feel now about this book

🔥🔥 this book is on fire, literally

Ingesting this book in slow doses. Impatiently waiting for more brutality

I like it, but i am having a hard time making progress just as I always have been with middle grade stories

Well, this has been going well so far. 💕

I am so so excited for this one!

About time I picked this up!

The pace has slowed down a bit.
I don’t want to say I’m not invested, but l definitely missing the vibes I got the first few chapters.

“As a man of the cloth, Hephaestus, I can’t condone your methods, much as I admire your handiwork. ‘If you love something, you must set it free.’”
“Bet that’s not what you told Persephone.” Ares thinks he’s even funnier the second time.


Lmfao, savage!!!!

The question is, WHO IS ABOUT TO DIE!!

Apollo has entered the chat!!!
❗️❗️

“Evening, sis.”
“Good evening, Apollo,” she says. “A spectacular sunset tonight.”
“Nice of you to notice.” He bounces on the bed a few times, testing its springs. “So what’s going on, anyway?”
“A jealous husband’s tribunal,” declares Ares. “His wife chose the better man.”
“Go dunk your head,” adds Hephaestus.”

LOVES IT 🥺🥰

Aphrodite narrating two of her best works?
Historical fiction x Greek Mythology? That’s a rare sweet spot!
I’m hoping that this book will help me get out of this god awful reading slump I’ve been in since the start of the pandemic. One chapter in and I must say, I do love two prideful gods fighting and bickering over the goddess of love. & holding a court trial inside a hotel room? 😅 🌶

I’ve been re-reading this book for 2 weeks now. What is wrong with me, or is it the book? :((((

My opinion stays the same, still a snooze fest.
