Mostly thoughts on books. And Magic the Gathering. And food. And cute animals. Oh and gay things.
I don’t think I’ve ever been this excited for a book. So excited that I actually paid full price which I never EVER do lol #TheStrengthoftheFew #booksky

If you loved the first book, be prepared to be have your expectations flipped. This mostly a growing love story that you can’t help but cheer on. The last 20% had me furiously page-turning - left slightly breathless in anticipation of things to come. 4.5/5 ⭐️

A fairy tale in many ways but offers the adult reader much more than whimsy and magic. #ACourtofThornsandRoses offers a deeply satisfying look at human frailty and emotional bonds that stretch beyond fae or human-all of this wrapped in exquisitely penned, poetically elegant prose.4.5/5 ⭐️ #booksky

If you were to ask me what this book is about, I'd stare at you blankly - I have no idea. There was very little plot to chew on. The character development was sparse. The prose felt oddly staccato. An overall laborious experience. 3/5 ⭐️ #booksky #thebladeitself

Please tell me #thebladeitself gets better as you read more. I'm 15% in, and I'm really not vibing with this book. It feels so slow. 😐 #booksky
16.10.2025 02:14 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0That’s a good question. I can understand if there is a large story arc, and epic that can’t be told in a single book. However, I still believe a single book in said arc doesn’t need to be 1000 pages. If this is a multi book epic, that only makes me feel that shorter books are very doable.
13.10.2025 01:16 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0#booksky hot take: books shouldn't be more than 500-600 pages long. If you need 1000+ pages to tell a story, there's simply too much. Less is more.

Ok starting my first #joeabercrombie novel - #thebladeitself. He has been very hyped up on my reading feeds. I hope I like it #booksky

If you want a page-turning, high stakes space opera, #LeviathanWakes is your book. It was entertaining throughout with decent character development that made me care about the MMCs. Miller was tragic but oddly compelling. Not deep by means but a fun ride nonetheless. 4/5 ⭐️ #booksky

Ok so 15% in on #leviathanwakes and this thing slaps. A lit page-turner. They should make a TV show out of this 🤔😉

I’m been craving a space opera, and this might scratch that itch? #booksky #leviathanwakes

The prose. The story. The sorrow. The humanity. All of it can be simply summed in a single word: “beautiful.” 4.25/5 ⭐️

I decided to give #gilmoregirls a shot. Let me tell you - the cozy vibes are off the charts. But I have a hot take - I don’t think Emily Gilmore is THAT bad. And Lorelai is cray. If my parents were rich, my child can stay with them as much as possible. As 👏much👏as👏possible👏

Ok. Against my better judgement, I’ve decided to get my heart broken. Wish me luck 🤞🏼 #songofachilles #booksky

Actually, a better palate cleanser would be #impossiblecreatures ? I think something fun and whimsical might be what I need after reading about an apocalypse. 🤔#booksky

This was simply too long. 900 pages 😳 A word of warning - this book is very bleak. You’ll need a palate cleanser after this. Also, this book leaned very political and hit too close to home. The last 10% was worth the long trudge of the other 90%. Almost.
3.75/5 ⭐️ #wanderers #booksky
