  • Blessed reading streak 📚 ✨

    I realised I've lucked out in 2026, every book I've read so far has been a 4 or 5 star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 👏 Has anyone else been this lucky? What's been your absolute favourite? I think Golden Son (Red Rising #2) takes the top spot for me.

    I'm starting to think that the author is a very hungry person 😂 There are a lot of food descriptions in these books !

  • contributing to the great tomato war

    i have just seen an episode of starfleet academy when one of the characters literally ate a big tomato like an apple. 🤢 🤮

    i am firmly in the tomatoes are really lovely, but i can’t understand people eating it like an apple. but… pizza? pasta? bruschetta? papaya salad? salsa? YES.

    then i realised… how can one judge another if i have never tried it? so i gave it a try today.

    and….

    IT IS NOT RIGHT YOU PEOPLE ARE MAD FOR EATING TOMATOES LIKE APPLES YOU MONSTERS

    edited to add: after 8 years of marriage i have just found out my husband likes to eat tomatoes like apples, what should i do? 😭😭😭

    ETA2: eating a whole cherry tomato is FINE NOT BIG TOMATOES LIKE APPLES GODDAMNIT

    ETA3: SOMEONE JUST STATED THEY EAD RED ONIONS LIKE APPLES THIS INSANITY CANNOT GO ON ANY LONGER

    I still have so many questions about how this book can end with 200 pages to go, but I’m enjoying the ride. I just praying it won’t end the way I think that it might

    Prequel Novellas?

    This book just becomes available on my Libby after holding it for 2 weeks so I am thinking to start today and I just realised there are 3 prequels before this. Do I have to start with 3 novellas before this book? They are not available on my Libby so I’m thinking just to start with main book. Will it significantly affect the reading experience?

    I am struggling with this one. Does the plot pick up soon? Should I hold on a little longer? 😭
