old prince b my BELOATHED!!!

look. i hate to say it and you hate to hear it but anatole is gender. he's gender. no thoughts in that head just pretty boy swag

marya is a lesbian and also has never done anything wrong. ever. in her life. also i don't like how lev writes women

my family listened to this as an audiobook during a car ride but i have shit baby attention span disorder and i perceived like. half of it, tops. so. reading it as a book let's go

BRUV. BOOK SIX IS THE PEAK. BOOK SIX FUCKING HITS DIFFERENT. HIM SEEING DIDO? THE POLITICAL IMPLICATIONS OF THIS THING ABOUT HIS DESCENDENTS (AND THE MACBETH VIBES FOR THAT MATTER)? HIM SEEING HIS FATHER AND THE CREUSA PARALLELS OF TRYING TO HOLD HIM THREE TIMES? FUCK MAN

one of the ONLY issues i have with this book is that this scene w molly and the mermaids REEKS of written by man... molly literally just almost died why does she care if she looks pretty.

WHY DOES LEV HAVE TO DESCRIBE WOMEN IN THIS WAY.

do i. add my own book that i wrote that elena made a goodreads page for. to my own shelves. do i put it on my lgbt and mental illness shelves. do i give it a genre tag. do i add it to my reading challenge?????????????????

"Can we move this conversation along, old chap? I'm getting frightfully tired of 'How.'" yeah this may be my favorite line in this entire book

finished v1 p2 and you know what? i've decided i'll take "rich people talking for 100 pages" any day over lev tolstoy describing battle machinations i simply cannot parse <3 i like your funny words magic man but when does the andrei/tushin victory sex scene drop

I COMPLETELY FUCKING FORGOT VALENTINE [REDACTED] I MAY HAVE TO KEEP MY COPY OF THIS BOOK JUST FOR VALENTINE SIMMONS SDHFLKDSGKBDSFBSBFSDBBF,

nevermind the cisheterophobia claire lombardi actually makes my blood boil

did i hate claire this much the first time i read this book?? i cannot imagine i liked her but i do not remember her making me feel this uniquely cisheterophobic

less embarrassed by the fact that i am adding ANOTHER book to my currently-reading shelf and it's fucking warrior cats. more embarrassed by my total shock at the fact that THEY CHANGED THE MAP??

"First of all, she's salutatorian if anything. I'M valedictorian." at THIS moment... valentine simmons my fucking beloved!

adding 10-20 books in one sitting to my tbr with heedless abandon bc adding to and then pruning my tbr is genuinely calming to me IS therapy... it HELPS

the prison abolition in this latest chapter... we LOVE to see it

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOO we popping the BIGGEST bottles when caesar becomes emperor tomorrow

when i say the lore in this book rocked my eight-year-old MIND...

GUESS WHAT I JUST FOUND IN MY FUCKING HOUSE. GUESS.

cleaning out my basement so im marking down all the old childrens' books i vaguely remember but not enough to reread. enjoy

ippolit showing up literally EXPRESSLY for the purpose of being the dumbest person in the room will never not be funny to me. his opera glasses

THE PORPOISES! ALL OF THIS IS COMING BACK TO ME SO CLEARLY HOW MANY TIMES DID I READ THIS AS A KID

leo tolstoy :handshake: victor hugo
telling a story with a lot of characters&battles that isn't rlly the story of any one man but of a whole country & a whole cultural movement/period of change, however, this means it is really really fucking LONG and feels at points like slice of life fiction about random dudes in [insert european country]
"the difference is that one is abt poor ppl and one is abt rich ppl" - elena

VALENTINE PEACOAT. i said let me pick the one nd character and get attached

i know it's the neurodivergency + my having an oc named valentine but like. valentine simmons i kiss you on the head

GOD HELP ME I FORGOT HOW FUNNY THIS BOOK IS
