This space is a dump for my reading thoughts. Instead of yelling at the book, I yell here. [sighs in dismay] 📕 ✨

You eat cat food. It’s official.
Vermont so she can write this book that a lawyer/investigator of the victims wants. Thought I was here for the murder but stayed for the picturesque scenery vibes of Vermont.
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
This should be your bible. Your handbook of what to look out for. And when you tell someone to leave your home - they better fucking GO.

(He likes to sit there and pretend he can’t hear you.)
He isn’t grounded in any kind of logical reality beyond hoping back and forth between vulnerable women’s apartments. He strategizes exactly to the degree he needs to be an asshole for them to want him. He is the worst character ever but I can’t stop reading this book. All women who are lonely -
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).
It’s called “suspending disbelief”
Also the weather is tits.
tricked when they read work generated by AI. As books are revealed to have AI assists, they are not as accepting as this book claims and I don’t think would ever support an “author” who clearly had AI change words around but kept essentially the same story. I need to suspend more disbelief. Maybe?

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

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~

•he’s very racist although he tries not to be, until he gets to Europe and realizes it’s not all populated by white people and made dwarf jokes about an entire country.
because they can be so good but you have to balance world building, character building, sexual tension.. and this book starts out there. But it reveals just how flat the male characters are and I am moving on. Needs an editor.
talking about the next thing they need to do. She’s basically going through a whole ass trial for him and then also competing for the hand of the human prince with THOSE trials. It’s exhausting. Neither one is redeeming or worthy enough for her to be doing all this. I hate this thing with smuts
She had to have sex with his father, then him, and do it for hours in front of everyone. It’s supposed to be the end all, be all. Except once she passes (he bangs her so hard her pelvis breaks but don’t worry they have instant heal powers they can bestow upon you) he’s all distant and weird again

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.
slowing down my reading to really enjoy them. As I’m walking, they are going at it and he tells her to lean her head back. He moves his face over hers and what I can only describe as “oil sludge” comes out of his mouth and goes in to hers. It’s nasty. I trip over my feet. Still 10/10.

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
They don’t have penises but ARE a penis.
princess who everyone in the kingdom knows can fuck well.
penis goes. Unsuccessful. But they take a human form (convenient) in order to teach young village girls how to seduce so the best seductress can secure the prince and have his heirs. That’s seriously the prize for putting in SO much effort.. financial security. Not love. You just get to be a

Or known as “a spit or swallow novel” was pointed out by a friend and then started trending on TikTok everyone. Someone online said “I just read 500 pages of snake smut and I want more??”

My first thought was to google a basilisk because I’m trying to figure out where the
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
Aka snake smuts.
*almost stopped reading.

I won’t, because I want her to find her lady balls.

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.
