    pre reading thoughts?

    i never thought i'd read an adult romance (that wasn't also fantasy) but here we go. i saw this in a book store and saw that it had both sapphic and neurodivergent representation and i bought it not realizing it wasn't young adult.... im reading this for the neurodivergent rep, and as an asexual person, i will be complaining about the smut. you have been warned.

    literally 100 pages of .... love? in every sense of the word. sisters, romantic love, and oh the Proffessors??? Like, Amal, hand me over the love story right now actually i definetely wished it'd been longer, because i was *sucked* into this universe and i want more. but the writing was so so gorgeous and i felt like i was reading a fairytale - which, was kind of what it was - and i ADORED it. it definetely did what it could with the lenght it had, but i just wished there'd been MORE - like, the grammar, the world, i just wanna know more, so i think my main thing is i wished it'd been a little longer so there'd been space for that. apart from that, literally SO good. it reminded me a little bit of "spear" by nicola griffith, with the atmosphere and the world, and i loved that little book so much, so that is a huge compliment. also, the last 30 pages was a sneak peak for Amal's upcoming short story collection, which i can't wait to read, BUT OH I FELT SO CHEATED when i realised it was 100 pages long instead of 130

    Sapphic book sugestions here✨

    I've been getting quite some suggestions for books for this quest, so I thought it might be easier to have a specific place just for suggestions (if you've already commented books, don't worry about it, I've already have them written down and will add them over time 🫶). Please ensure that the book has a sapphic romance/sapphic main characters that are important to the plot! Looking forward to your suggestions :)

  • Calling all haters!!!

    I want to talk about popular/well-liked books that YOU personally hate (and why if you want)! I'm also curious to hear what books you refuse to pick up, no matter how popular/well-liked they are! Popular books I hate are: The Secret History by Donna Tartt (literally the most boring book I've read that I truly believe people only like because it makes them feel smart) Summer Sons by Lee Mandelo (I can't even begin to explain how much I hated every moment reading this book -- everything from racism being a plot point despite it being about white people??? to the way grief is handled pisses me off) My Best Friend's Exorcism by Grady Hendrix (cishet white men need to stop writing stories about young girls and especially should not use a weird school-slave-roleplay plot point) The Troop by Nick Cutter (I refuse to believe that all young boys are perverted little creeps) House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski (This book made me realize anyone could write and get published 700+ pages of trash) Some popular books I will never pick up: ACOTAR/Any SJM book (I have not forgotten about using Breonna Taylor's death in a promo post) Fourth Wing/Tomorrow Tomorrow Tomorrow 🍉 Anything by Nick Cutter but especially The Deep because I hated The Troop THAT much Anything Colleen Hoover because it has not and will never appeal to me personally The Love Hypothesis because I don't like Reylo nor romance Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo because it sounds overly edgy (lmao) No hate to anyone whose favorite book is listed above! Just because I don't like the book doesn't mean I don't like you!
