    I am absolutely going mad over here because I feel like nothing has happened and somehow I have more questions than when I started the book?? The writing is terribly choppy imo, the characters are so flat, and nothing is ever actually explained. Never once. Where did the hype for this book come from???

    I really liked this book. Nice world building, character building. I love me some greek mythology lore (has me wanting to dive back into that). As far as spicy stories go, I've had my share, and this goes in my top 10 definitely. Most of the schmexy stuff I'm used to was there, but I usually don't get it in a very consensual way, and so that was a breath of fresh air to me. Consent is sexy, yes !! The ending felt a bit rushed, which is too bad, because the start made it feel like a well thought out story, and although the end ties everything up pretty properly, it felt like "oh okay, we got the sex scenes out, now let's just info dump and be done with it", which is a shame, but oh well. Still a good read ^^

  • Reading slump help!!

    Ever since the end of last year and the beginning of this year, I feel like I’m slacking on reading. I used to read so much and pretty fast but now?? I have started books here and there but never feel compelled to pick them up and continue. I am still in school plus being on a sports team I have already little free time and then when I do I pick up my phone and doomscroll. Anyone got ideas or book recommendations that’ll help me get out of this please spill!! đŸ˜©

    Add book to plan twice

    I thought this was already a request but couldn't find it with the search button or some very long scrolling, so if it's already here I'm sorry but : Would it be possible to allow us to add a book multiple times to our plan ? Like I want to read it in January, but then reread it in june, because I really loved it, or I'm planning a buddy read or something else. So I would like to be able to add it to march, with it not being removed from January. Thank you in advance for the time spent on this request !
