Very fair. I was in school when he was at the height of popularity(?!) so watching the paperclip dance and do stuff instead of writing my essays was absolutely the only real thing I remember about it 😹 I imagine if you were a adult with an actual job to do, he would have been awful 😹

I just miss the talking paperclip. Does that make me old?

Wait… I thought they were talking about a biopic film (which I would say bi-O-pic). But if it’s a photo for your socials showing your face then it’s a bio-pic…

Can you tell how hard I’m avoiding doing my actual job today? 😹

I already own a copy of The Lost Story and I am now THRILLED to read and promote the hell out of it 😈

I, for one, am very excited to see The Lost Story and The Lions of Fifth Avenue soar to the top of the bestseller lists off the back of that homophobic review 💅🏻🏳️‍🌈

Okay so I know SJM and ACOTAR can be a divisive topic, HOWEVER if you read the books and thought ‘damn I wish this were gayer’ then let me offer to you my #ACOTAR #azris fanfiction:

archiveofourown.org/works/590631...

It’s an Azriel/Eris main paring, plus a host of LGBTQ+ side characters 🏳️‍🌈

Can I be added please? 🙏🏻 💕

Heartbreaking, mysterious and full of complex characters - I absolutely loved ‘Lavender House’ 💜

Perfect for fans of murder mystery and queer historical fiction ✨

Until I work out what I’m doing on here I’m gonna try mirror what I do on insta, review & images wise. Obvs the word count isn’t as high here, but you can post links, so might link through to my goodreads/storygraph for the full review part 🤔 Ugh damn Zuck for ruining everything…
