Next on my list of silliest books I’ve found at the library sale.

This is so cute. Harriet is a relatable kid

Harriet sure is a mean kid.

This book is literally what it’s like to have a stepdad who sucks and a little sister who’s annoying as shit

Emily has been bothering me to read this since like 2008; finally getting around to it.

Why is the cover a cockroach instead of a mountain goat?

“An Atreides daughter could’ve been wed to a Harlingen heir and sealed the breach.” To think, if Paul and Feyd were gay we might not have a book.

I just can’t get over how much I hate Frank

Frank is such a fucking tool

This book makes me want to scream in how depressingly realistic it is.

I like what an awful detective Luella is

This book is so funny

A werewolf named Chaney—give me a break.

An entire book about how werewolves can practically read each other’s minds and half a book about how shitty it was for Joe abandon the pack and not consult them properly about it—and now Ox is successfully hiding things from them and is planning to bail? Way to undermine the previous 90% of what you’ve written, TJ.

Em and I are hate reading till 50% and then we’ll see if we want to keep going. It’s still bad but now there’s actual drama happening, which is more boring than the gross romance, if you can believe it. I’m just not at all emotionally invested.

Called it with the mom. Also, I often complain that gay romances tend to be by women for women, so it’s nice to get one by a dude—unfortunately, he’s going for issue male writers have where women are only worth anything as moms, if they’re dead, or both.

“‘Is it bad to be 21 and not have had sex?’

“‘Uh . . . no? Why are you asking me?’

“‘He stared at me. ‘You’re the future mate of the future Alpha. You have to answer questions like this.’

“‘I do?’

“‘Yeah. It’s, like, your job.’”

Okay I hate this book but the idea of a werewolf rebbetzin is really funny.

I must be reading a different book for everyone else here because this is not good. The writing itself isn’t bad, but I’m not exactly squeamish and I’m still getting creeped out by this thing with Ox and Joe.

Emily is reading this and thinks she doesn’t like it, but she asked me to catch up to where she is so we can decide together if it’s worth finishing. So far I do not like it; it’s creepy and I can see so many ways it could have been tweaked to be less uncomfortable.

What I love is that, as a nineteen-year-old who hates Western civilization, even though he spent years at Camp Half-Blood, he’s on par with many of his peers who just finished their freshman year of college.

I forgot how much fun this series was.

Holds up so far! And I was right in thinking book Percy is nowhere near as emo as he’s being portrayed in the show.

Haven’t read this one since I was maybe fifteen, so it’ll be fun to see how it holds up and how it compares to the new show.
