This space is a dump for my reading thoughts. 📕 ✨
Read Mccurdy’s #HalfHisAge in two days. Laid in bed explaining the period-on-his-d-***-slapping-her-face-with-it scene to my boyfriend.

Made sure to end with “…I don’t wanna do that, but isn’t that wild to read!? There was blood everywhere!”😂

32/221 #Frostlines by Neil Shea. Just went over the observations of arctic wolves having no male alpha. Packs tend to follow the stronger, experienced female and upon her death, the core of the pack becomes discombobulated.
NO MALE ALPHA.
This will ruin the modern smuts, thus we don’t discuss it.

So I finished #twilight. All I can say is I’m glad I read this in my 20s because it hits so different as a lady in her upper 30s. Not bad but.. I absolutely feel like Charlie. Like, is my daughter insane and why is she so secretive? This is how your kids become vampires.

After a brief hiatus I have returned! Re-reading #Twilight which I haven’t touched since the late 2000’s. Thought I’d have more feelings than “if the Cullen’s house is over 100 years old.. I bet they never bothered to install modern toilets. Where will Bella put her piss when she’s over!?”

I’m going to try and be better on here. I started #CoramHouse by Bailey Seybold and went totally off of vibes.
A Vermont orphanage run by sadistic nuns waaay back in the day and they were apparently murdering kids. So a ghostwriter who just lost her husband is packing up her life and moving to

I am so far behind. Yesterday I started #TheStalker by Paula Bomer (stop autocorrecting to Boner..) and I hope this is not based on her experiences.

The MMC Doughty is a professional fuckboy, con-man, narcissistic, asshole… it’s just amazing the lack of self awareness (or he is overly aware).

So this is about a popular author that gets her work hijacked by a fan who uses AI to basically strip and repackage it as her own.

I am enjoying the commentary/criticisms on the publishing industry. What’s lacking is a realistic response from readers who feel

DNF - #MarkTwain

Honestly I should know better. It’s not like it’s not interesting but looking at this book feels like homework. After about 200 pages.. I’m not really learning anything substantial. Eh.

I am reading this one real slow. Like three chapters a day slow. On today’s adventures of MT~

DNF. If this book was half the length, it would’ve been better. It’s 500 pages and getting more incoherent as time goes on.

My gripe is that they just went through a super strenuous mating ritual so Tem would be accepted by the basilisks.

Story time. I’m walking on my treadmill and I have a mount for my kindle (so I can walk hands free and read. Firming up minds and asses.) Tem is having sex with her basilisk teacher Caspian like.. madly. And the scenes are so well executed and written, that I’ve been

Finished #CellarRat and it does a great job of explaining why the restaurant business is not for the faint of heart.

Not I’m on to #KissOfTheBasilisk

So she got fired for trying to cover for a manager that was stealing alcohol.. and then that same manager told everyone they mutually knew to not give her a job?

I also stopped reading this book because my petty would NEVER. If I’m going down, you can get fucked.

I am roughly 25% into #CellarRat and she talk about her time working with Bobby Flay.

Dude had some banging ass burgers and a restaurant roughly 20 minutes from where I used to live. It was EXPONSIVE so the burger was a tiny little treat. Occasionally I think about them because I haven’t had

I’m like six books past Nocturne (which I didn’t even finish.)

Onto #CellarRat, about working in the NYC restaurant scene.

If serving weren’t so chaotic and shitty, I would do it as a part time job. My job already requires me to listen to people talk.. why not do it for the tipssss.

Finished #BloodOnHerTongue and I wanted it a little more fleshed out in the end. Of course they kill everyone in the way and escape, but I just wanted… more. More explanation of the parasite. It’s such a fascinating angle to vampires, mental illness, etc.

Now starting #Nocturne by Karina Halle.

So it’s a parasite that infects a person and eats part of their brain.. like a bacteria vampire. Her sister is “dead” but the parasite can use her memories to think, act, and speak like a person. Now she’s asking Lucy (her sister) to help her live by murdering someone cause

Lucy has a sister named Sarah. Sarah is acting odd. Seeing people who aren’t there. Saying it feels like her brain is being scooped out with a hot spoon.

I’m going to say the moment her family pulled out a big bodice and her knuckles got cut on it and some fluid was

Finished #Claire,Darling and she was the unreliable narrator. Was never with him. We just went on a four hour journey of her psychosis.

Okay so she discovered her cheating fiancée actually lived an upgraded life. She found their address and noted a gingery boi (cat) in the window. Plot hole: ginger cats shed like a motherfucker. No way he has a cat and was going between two households and she never noticed.

Finished #TheWayUpIsDeath and it delivered on its promise. Death, everywhere. Like Hunger Games, but vertical.

I’m now starting #Claire,Darling which has me questioning. If you have a lover that travels for work - automatically assume they have a hotter lover than you, have a high end executive

Okay I’ve been really lazy.

And all I can say is yes, the higher you go the more death there is.
