  • Meeting authors you admire!!

    Do you have any authors you would like to meet?? I just wanted to share that I just met Lynn Painter a few hours ago in an autograph session! She's so sweet 🥹. It's really hot here and she was asking if it was worth the wait in the sun and all I could think was: "Of course it was worth the wait!!!" 😅.

  • In need of some book recommendations

    Hello!

    I have an itch to scratch, I really want to read a book that gives the same vibe as Vicious by V.E. Schwab.

    I have seen the community recs for it and I have read some of them and plan to read others. But they dont seem to be what im looking for.

    I want to read a book thats dark and explores the concept of morality. And/or has an MC that is morally grey. There are a bit too many books on my tbr about being in academia. I want something that isnt so focused on collage/school.

    Any genre would be fine, except romance. But it could have a romance subplot. I know Frankenstein would suit what im looking for and while I would give that one a try I want to wait because I dont think my brain is ready for a classic.

    Thank you in advance 😊

  • Till Summer Do Us Part
    Authors Naming Characters After Themselves (Thoughts from 27% (page 118))

    Anyone else vehemently hate when authors so obviously name a character in their novel after themselves?

    Maybe this one’s too obvious to me because Meghan Quinn is the first time I’ve come across that particular spelling, but her calling the cute waitress her exact name is just so 🤢. I get that an author’s prerogative is to write whatever they want and name their characters whatever they chose, but giving a character your own name with the same spelling just screams immaturity to me. Like all those fan fictions kids write when they’re thirteen and name their characters after themselves because they want to insert themselves into the story.

    I know there’s a bunch of other stuff wrong with this novel (which other people have been pointing out in the forum and I have very much been enjoying reading other people’s thoughts & knowing that I’m not on my own in thinking these things) but this was one of these things that completely pulled me out of the story, made me roll my eyes and put the book down.

  • Twilight (The Twilight Saga, #1)
    Thoughts from 58% (page 167)

    I cannot imagine Kristen and Robert while reading this. They do not fit what I'm reading. Book Edward and book Bella are... Kinda adorable?? 😳

    I'm rereading at a 33 yo and obviously I can now see all the issues I didn't see at 17, but still. I can totally see why I loved them.

    I loved this book so much it has now ended up on My Taste list 😂 it's genuinely one of my new favorite queer romances. This is actually the first time I've read about a poly relationship, and in the future any similar books I read will have to live up to the "Triple Sec" standard. 😂

    I loved how slow and (relatively) easy the romance built up in this. It was nice to watch Mel learn new things about herself with Bebe and Kade, and to also have support as she processed some of her past hurt from her divorce. Also, there are just so many peak scenes, most of them spicy 👀

    This is also the first time I feel like I've been really, truly seen in a queer fiction. I saw myself in a mix of Mel and Kade to a startling degree, and it was a representation I didn't know I needed, but am so happy to have. I definitely hope that there are other similar books out there where I can see myself in them in the same way.

    This is barely a gripe, but I do wish the back of the book had some of the recipes for the cocktails Mel was making 😭😭 Maybe/hopefully if the book gets a special printing, something like that will be added to the back as a special feature. I'm no mixologist, but I'd love to give these drinks a shot!
