“…the ornate snow leopanaire makes my stomach clench…” “…with the speed of a cheetanaire…” “…tail me like a lionaire cub…” “…rumble by like rhinomes…” “Even as the pathenaires crouch…”
Anyone else find these suffix-added animal names cringey? I would rather the book use normal names rather than weak Pokémon-esque approximations 😅

For a book that seems to emphasise the subject of colorism, the choice to use lightskin actors is...um....a choice.
Also, it's ironic to me that the mother would give her own daughter such a hard time to a complexion SHE WAS BORN WITH. THAT CAME OUT OF YOUUU😭. Like why are you mad at me for??? I know it happens but its so weird.

So bc I still haven't fixed my attention span, every time I pick up a book and get somewhere, all of a sudden, EVERY other book looks like the fruit of knowledge of good and evil. For example, I'm reading 1984. I'm halfway. Not bad, actually. But all of a sudden I'm craving popular Tiktok books. I READ ONE CLASSIC, AND NOW I NEED YA romance y'all😭😭😭. I even narrowed them down (sorta): Shatter me or (rereading) Once Upon a Broken Heart.
The thing is, idk if I should drop 1984, bc I fear I may not pick it up again. But also, the urge to read these books is wild, guys. It's like... addiction-type bad, and I'm not normally a tiktok reader (even though tiktok recommendations got me back into reading). I'm afraid if I give in now, I'll just get addicted to dropping a book for another one, basically replicating the same high as doomscrolling.
Does anyone else feel this sometimes? How do I fix it, or is it ok to give in evey now and then? Is so which one should I read: Shatter me or Once upon a broken heart?
