    oooo i hated her family. she's shamelessly used, her aunt and dad were despicable, and even her sister was annoying.

    i didn't understand why nyx was drawn to ignifex. over time, it didn't become that clear, but it became less weird when it became obvious that he was a victim of sorts as well. and i guess he saves her from the horrors of the house, even if it's her own fault.

    i feel like i should have been rooting for her to be with shade, but i didn't appreciate how he saw her as a savior first, person second. and he's kind of a lunatic.

    and then i was like, i bet ignifex is shade and vice versa. guess what?! i was right.

    i wasn't sure how to feel about nyx and ignifex. they weren't good people, but they still felt redeemable and not completely despicable to the point where i couldn't stand either.

    it was kind of slow, and i did find myself skimming some parts at the beginning. it started to pick up in the middle. and then i just got confused at the end.

    My Thorns For Your Roses

    My Thorns For Your Roses

    Kristen Argyres

    True love takes many forms. As one of the few survivors of her generation, Lark wants to live a quiet, peaceful life. All she needs is a tolerable husband. On her 24th birthday, Lark offends the local faerie lord, the shapeshifter Tamlin, who punishes her with a rose rooted in her flesh. In her efforts to convince Tamlin to undo his handiwork, Lark visits the forest daily and discovers the breathtaking and terrifying wonders of his realm. Despite her pragmatic nature tugging her toward a mortal huntsman, Lark falls for Tamlin. After a near-fatal accident exposes Tamlin’s cruel deception, Lark moves to the capital to accept a marriage of convenience. Yet when she learns of Tamlin’s capture, Lark must choose whether to secure her future or risk it all to save the love of her life from his cannibal ex. -- MY THORNS FOR YOUR ROSES is a "Tam Lin" retelling written in the spirit of the Scottish faerie tale and folksong - for readers who enjoyed the fae in Heather Fawcett's EMILY WILDE series, retellings like Naomi Novik's SPINNING SILVER, and the complicated family dynamics of Kell Woods' AFTER THE FOREST and UPON A STARLIT TIDE. Book cover artist: Yinan Sun (Grey)

  • Reading disappointments

    This is a question that may cause some debate...

    What was the last book you read that you were disappointed with? (DNF or Complete)

    Mine was Darkest at Dusk by Eve Silver. It'd been a while since I read Gothic romance. And while I am glad I read it, it proved something I've been thinking about in relation to het romance, it was just so meh. Tropes galore and a frustrating ending.

  • 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
