WARNING: there is some talk about zodiac academy in this but it doesnât really spoil anything but stillâŚ..warning
ok but seriously⌠can we talk about how every magical school in books is just â¨UNHINGED, too much trauma, and casual child endangermentâ¨???
like⌠WHO is accrediting these institutions??? where is the board of education??? what is the curriculum, exactly?? how are you gonna tell me your âschoolâ includes death mazes, forbidden forests, live combat, dark magic, inter-species bullying, and then act like itâs normal because they have a dining hall and a headmaster with mysterious trauma. errrmmmm. that's not a school. that's a lawsuit waiting to happen đ
đđŞ and don't even get me STARTED on Zodiac Academy (no backlash on the series cuz it is one of my favourite seriesâLANCE MOTHERFREAKING ORIAN đ§ââď¸). that place is not a school, itâs a supernatural version of The Hunger Games run by â¨horny professors⨠and â¨emotionally unstable princes⨠with jawlines sharp enough to slice through the plot holes. like: â the professors? perverts. Iâm acc scared đł . â the students? literal sociopaths with abs. â the vibe? âwelcome to our elite academy! hereâs your uniform and a personalized trauma arc đ â â the twins? got intensely bullied AND mentally tormented in the first week and still showed up to class like âhuh that was weird đâ EXCUSE ME?? GIRL. TRANSFER. GO TO COMMUNITY COLLEGE. IDC THAT U CANâT GIVE THEM WHAT THEY WANT AND GIVE UP.
and like why is the whole school built around who has the biggest magical bloodline + who can throw the best enchanted punch?? not a single career fair in sight. no financial aid office. just â¨ancient propheciesâ¨, â¨sexy enemiesâ¨, and â¨weird power dynamics with teachers⨠like HELLO?? this is not Hogwarts this is a psychological experiment.
also. everyone in these schools is either: â emotionally dead inside â ď¸ â an alpha male with daddy issues đş â a fairy đ§ââď¸ â or all of the above and yet somehow thereâs still time for romance subplots in between FIGHTING FOR THEIR LIVES during extracurriculars. like âI was almost murdered during elemental combat class but now Iâm kissing my enemy on a rooftop under three moons while an assassin watches us from the shadows đâ¨â girl. what?? GET. A. GUIDANCE. COUNSELOR.
also why do the libraries always have forbidden sections where if you check the wrong book out you get cursed by the souls of the damned??? Iâm just trying to pass Ancient Magic 101, not unlock the seventh seal of hell.
iâm sorry but if I ever got admitted to a magical academy and on day one someone tried to drown me in a fountain for âcharacter development,â Iâm calling my mom, dropping out, and becoming a barista in the human realm. âď¸

I just used the Plan feature which is SO neat, and I think is a nice balance between having a TBR and mood reading. Plus it just â¨looks goodâ¨
I'm so much more of a mood reader, but sometimes it's nice having a few books that I know I want to read in a general time frame, so I have a selection to look at first when trying to pick my next book.
Of course, the quests and readalongs here are going to dictate some of my reading, but I'm finding that a fun project to look forward to.

Hello, I always thought I was a fast reader but I realised that itâs almost slow compared to some people (less than a day for sole of you, what ??). So I was wondering, how are you doing ? Are you reading fully or a word out of two ? How do you have so much time to read that fast ? đ

As we know, the list feature on here is for curating a collection for the community - but I thought it might be fun to hear about what people have put on their library shelves for themselves, too! Beyond TBRs, favorites, and personal reading tracking/planning, what have you used the library feature on here for?
For me, I made a shelf called "Friend recs I trust" which is basically what it says on the tin. It's an ever-growing collection of books I really want to get to & that I heard about from friends, some of whom I have known since I was a teen, and whose existence has touched and shaped my life in a way where I truly don't think I am the same person I was before I met them. (It also includes recs from newer friends who I think are having this effect on me, of course!)
I'm also considering starting a series of shelves labeled "the year of [insert something fun/nice/memorable that happened in that year]" to sort through my fave reads annually haha. How about you all?

80 pages into this thing and I have no idea what the setting is. Is it dystopian with magic? Is this fantasy with semi-modern, post apocalyptic but also Roman Empire vibes? I couldn't tell you if my life depended on it.
