During extremely cold weather, insta-love provides the perfect heat. As irritating as it is. :3

After half of the novel was devoted to world building, I'm happy that things are finally happening. :D

I hope that I get to finally finish this at midnight. The plot is actually fun, but I'm struggling to comprehend how Snow can fall for so many boys at once. She really needs a lesson on romantic loyalty. :3

It's very intriguing how this book combines elements of YA contemporary and fantasy. The ambiguity is actually quite beautiful. :)

It's about time I continue this amazing book. :)

I wonder what I should read first? :(

1. An Ember in the Ashes
2. The Raven Boys
3. Shadow and Bone (reread in preparation for Six of Crows)

The bookish struggle is real.

I love how Julian keeps on referring to Scarlett as "Crimson." The latter is such a clever pet name. :3

There is so much more good in him than bad, and I'll do whatever I can to convince him of that until he can see it, too. —Lily

This is giving me a lot of Beauty and the Beast feels. Speaking of which, I can hardly wait for March 2017! :D

Things with Ryle are still fairly new, but I feel that same depth with him that I used to feel with Atlas. He loves me just like Atlas did.

Please, Lily. You must know better than that. I'm not giving up on my ship. ;)

I like Joey Graceffa, so why I am I surprised that this book features a queer relationship? Still, I do not want to assume that queer authors will always write about similarly queer characters. That would be discriminatory. :3

And so that happened. Sometimes, "sorry" can the shallowest word of all.

The English essays of my Korean students have been all about their idea of a utopia these past weeks, so I can't help but think of my own definition.

utopia: a place where people are paid handsomely to read books.

Work in real life sucks because it steals 8 hours of reading time every day. :p

Just keep swimming. —Dory

Now that Lily and Atlas are reunited, I want Ryle to disappear. I'm not sorry that I don't really care about him.

This book has the potential to be addictive.

Atlas is an example of how you can't always judge people by their...body odor. Even though I haven't "met" his adult self, I can tell he's a genuinely good person. :D

Julian's smile turned seductive, all shameless curves and immoral promises.

Oh man, boys who act like this never fail to make me think of Rhysand. XD #ManCrush

What the heck is wrong with you, Ryle? Your "requests" ain't funny. :l

I'm finally continuing my first CoHo read. I'm liking it so far, but I'm keeping my expectations as realistic as possible. ^_^

The short chapters have sped up my reading process. Hopefully, I'll finish this book before midnight. :D

Except for the instalove, I'm enjoying everything, everything about this book. It's been so long since I've laughed this much. :D

If parabatai were real, I would love to have a super clingy one. Boy or girl, as long as I would have one. Gimme gimme! :3

102 pages left. After so many uneventful chapters, I'm glad complications are finally arising. May the odds be ever in your favor, Mallory and Rider. ;)

This book is quite creepy and surprisingly violent. Still, I'm excited to learn more about Zoe and X.

There was a complete set of Harry Potter, all in hardcover...

I'm so happy Rider is a fellow Potterhead! #Fanboy :D

I wonder why the boys in YA literature are so fond of...growling. We're not dogs, for goodness's sake. :p

As a guy, I know exactly why Julian is acting differently around Emma. Tee-hee. #Sparks

Dreams that come true can be beautiful, but they can also turn into nightmares when people don't wake up.

The fun is about to start. :D

I sense that something scary is about to happen.

The Law is annoying, but it is flexible. —Emma Carstairs

I finally started this book after having it for 8 months. It's good to be back in the Shadowhunter world. :D

I really love the characters in this series. As many as they are, I am not overwhelmed at all because they are hecka interesting.
