  • Why is roasting so much easier than praising?? 😭😭

    I hate that I struggle So hard to write reviews of books I loved. When I hate a book, I can write An Whole Essay. Does anyone else have this problem? 😭😭

  • What's your aesthetic? Does it match what you read

    I'm curious — considering a lot of us readers are collectors, have lots of cozy hobbies, and take care of curating a space that feels like our own — what's your aesthetic?

    I'm a pink and glitter lover, which means my kindle and Kobo are decorated with pink, and I like pink and glittery things in my cozy gaming and reading space. I think mine matches my fave genres, which is romance.

    I'm curious how everyone else is curating or decorating their shelves/reading space/ hobby space.

    And does it match what you read?

    Another great entry in the series 👏 Trains, political intrigue, tense boss battles, anarchy, and found family. What else could you need? I am loving how much we get of other crawlers and the character growth we see in everyone. Carl and Donut are so endearing to me.

    I will say, the setting of this book is confusing. The author acknowledges this directly to the audience via and authors note and cheekily in the text. I was very confused for most of the book 😅 but I didn’t feel that my confusion took any enjoyment out of my reading.

    Contrary to what's stated by the author, there were horses in America before the arrival of the Europeans

    I absolutely abhor Hekla. And I don't even think I have even scraped the surface of the madness that she and Eva may cause.
