Poor, poor sweet Elain. So pretty, so painfully clueless.

Finally some action! While I’ve been thoroughly enjoying the book, I was definitely getting a little over all the dilly-dallying. But listen—I may have known the name Rhysand going in, but that man knows how to stir things up and make a reader yell, “The plot is plotting!!”

Okay, I LOVE the idea of sharing thoughts on a forum while reading — It sounds perfect. I always have so many reactions while I read — comments, emotions, tiny rants, questions, wild predictions, the occasional breakdown 😮‍💨 — and the thought of posting them, discussing them with other readers, just letting them out?? Dreamy. ✨ But here's the thing: The motivation to organize my thoughts, translate them into words (in English, which isn’t even my first language 💀), and post them?? Absolutely nowhere to be found. It’s not that I don’t want to share — I really do! I want to scream into the void or have someone scream back “I KNOW RIGHT??” — but suddenly it all feels like work 🧠➡️✍️ And my brain’s like “nah, let’s just stare at the wall instead.” (I have made posts before — just lately it takes so much effort that it honestly feels like a job 😵‍💫) Plus, I don’t love the idea of constantly pausing my reading just to post a comment — It pulls me out of the story 🫠 And half the time I lose the vibe I was in just for the sake of writing something down. So yeah. I adore the concept of being super active in reading forums… I’m just not very good at actually doing it. 😂 Anyone else feel this way?? Or is my brain just being dramatic again 🙃📖

As the title suggest, I rate what I call a good book at a 3.0 and wanted to clarify that a 3.0 is a good book in my opinion, an enjoyable book, that does what it does well but doesn't do anything spectacular and might have some minor issues. Wanted to share my rating system here in case anyone was interested in what I consider each level to be rated at overall. Disclaimer I rate on a . 25 system and will round for the half points Overall Score The final rating is based on all the other scores used as well as the overall delivery, character work, and plot ⭐ 1.00-1.75 - Not recommended for most readers, objective issues around writing, editing, pacing etc. ⭐⭐ 2.00-2.75 - May appeal to dedicated fans of the subgenre, usually also has some objective issues ⭐⭐⭐ 3.00-3.75 - Solid read with strengths that outweigh weaknesses, a good read that might have some minor flaws ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.00-4.75 - Excellent book that stands out in the genre, usually also has objectively good writing ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.00 - Exceptional work that sets a new standard, good writing, character work, really transcends or redefines the genre By no means do I expect people to rate on the same scale I do, but did want to clarify 3 stars is a good book in my personal opinion. Would love to hear what you think about my scale and how you work out your own personal scale 😊

why is it that everytime I finish a book i have to immediately fall into a 6 month reading slump 🤨🤨🤨. Like it’s either read an entire 500 book in two days and then struggle to read 2 chapters half of the year like HELLO????

You guys… the illiterate woman memes finally make sense and I feel like I’ve unlocked a new level of the fandom. I totally misjudged her based on those alone—I seriously thought she was just dumb, but nope. The internet did her dirty. Context is everything 😂 Justice for Feyre!

I just finished reading a fabulous book and now I'm staring at all the books I own and wondering what to read next, if not buy a new one (rip my wallet) and read that. How do y'all manage your TBR paralysis and choose what to read next? I know that if I don't start now, I'll have a hard time starting up again after reading something so good, so I need to pick quickly lol
