Controversial for some, but I'm not a fan.

Mostly because Vis is the BIGGEST DAMN GARY STU I HAVE EVER SEEN. Not a flaw or consequence in sight, zero character development, he's magically good at everything he does, oh and did I mention he's an orphan who is secretly a prince??

About to start book number 26 for 2025!

I started keeping track of what I'm reading this year as a way to disconnect from mindlessly consuming tv and social media. Trying to read as many books as I can has helped me remember to put down my phone and do something I genuinely enjoy.

💙📚 💙🪐

She's beauty, she's grace....

Getting stuck into this classic. I love political fantasy and am in awe of writers who can do this genre justice.

💙📚 💙🪐

Funny how the prevalent use of SA as a plot device and/or torture 🌽 is vigorously defended in genres such as Crime, Thriller, and Fantasy but as soon as people are reminded that Romance exists and *gasp* WOMEN enjoy it, the presence of SA is quickly used to condemn the whole genre.

For every author that has a summary at the start of books in a series - may your tea always be hot, your pillow cool, and your favourite song play on the radio when you start your car 🥰😇

If the answer is anyone other than Tobias, you're wrong.

I can't get this Onyx Storm special edition debacle out of my head, when did we start calling scalpers 'resellers'?? This feels like the time vanity-scam publishers rebranded themselves as hybrid publishers.

💙🪐 💙📚

It never even crossed my mind, like, romance is right there!!!!

HEK I was wondering whether this was going to be limited stock 😭

It's a tie between The Sword of Kaigen by M L Wang and Babel by R F Kuang.

I squealed when I saw their announcement!! 🤩

The Expanse series by James S A Corey.
The Culture series by Ian M Banks.
Theirs Not To Reason Why series by Jean Johnson.

I've heard there's quite a few alpha/beta/ARC groups on Facebook, but I'm not yet at the stage where I'm using them.

They'll just let anyone in here these days.

Babel crushed me, I love it so much.

It was a shock to me too!

After the fiasco last year, I would have thought the publisher would get their act together and be prepared for this release (apparently not).

I never would have thought 'scalpers are bad' would be a controversial stance, but once again the book side of social media is out here proving me wrong.

💙📚 💙🪐

To paraphrase Team Rocket: I was prepared for trauma, but not for this.

💙📚

Why are people letting Rin decide things, Rin makes TERRIBLE decisions

I knew going into this series not to hold onto hope, and now I'm at the final book I'm eager to see the new ways R F Kuang is going to traumatise me 🫠

Predictions: Rin and Kitay are going to die, the Viper is going to come back and stay back, and prettyboy Nehza is going to become Emperor 💙📚 💙🪐

I started with Babel and am partway through the Poppy War trilogy. Personally I think it's just down to what you feel like reading first - epic war fantasy or dark academia fantasy.

New nightmare level of Hell unlocked.

I bet it’s okay to eat a little bit of lava

In today's Garbage Takes, a specific section of society is upset at calls to stop including child marriage+SA in fantasy books, because:

- they got bullied and those stories are comforting 🥹👉👈
- they want to read about societies with different morals 🤓
- censorship is bad 🤬
- rEaLiaSm 😈

I got up to pee and this THIEF moved in.

My pet peeve for 2024 has been people miscategorising adult books as YA.

And then arguing that the industry standard term doesn't personally make sense to them, therefore it's ok to market/promote/review books with adult content under a YA label.
