Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas

.....Ok so my best friend loves this series and I have been talked into reading it (also BookTok)
I would screenshot my live reactions that I sent to her...but spoilers.
Celaena has my eyes--as in they're blue with a ring of gold in the middle....  She is so fierce, and I love her.
....Ohhhhh so many innuendos
I love Chaol. I would die for him.
Dorian is a diva, and he is a Disney princess.
The doggos. Heart eyes.
......I am obssessed with Chaol. I just. I can't.
Aaaaaand I ordered the entire box set because I'm not patient and can't wait in line for things, and yeah.
I JUST NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS. AND I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS TO MY BABY CHAOL AND HOW EVERYTHING ENDS. NO ONE SPOIL ANYTHING. I IS AFRAID.

Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo

The intrigue. The mystery. The Ivy Leagues. The secret societies. Beautiful.
When I think of Yale, I think of Gilmore Girls...but I love the grittier side with all of the magic and darkness.
Also someone hug Darlington and his overachieving butt... He's such a nerd

Ok but I love super elite private schools and the vibes they give off--with the old buildings made out of stone.
I always wanted to be tapped and part of a secret society.....

I need to know all of the secrets
All of the fall vibes. The found family, and the living in the dorms, and the shenanigans.
.....WHY ISN'T THE SECOND BOOK OUT.... 2020 IS TOO ROUGH...

Trollhunters by Guillermo del Toro and Daniel Kraus

So I loved the Netflix series. Anton my baby, I miss him. NO ONE TALK TO ME ABOUT THE ENDING OF THE NETFLIX TROLLHUNTERS. I HAVE ANALYZED THE CRAP OUT OF IT AND I HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS
And I loved this version too.  This version had less fantasy elements, and was a little more down to life and gritty. But it was still super cool.

I love Claire. She perfect. I stan. I love her accent. I love how much Jim loves her.
I just want to hug Jim. He tries so hard. Just let my boy have a nap.
Tub!!!
Blinky!!! I love Blinky. The little big chatterbox. I love the nerd.
AAARGH!!!
I love that the family situation is different (like I love that the TV series covers Jim and his mom), so it's interesting to see Jim interact with his Dad.
Jack deserves the world.... I kind of wish there was like.....more...because I like closed endings...
Steve.... why am I not surprised.

Kingsbane by Claire Legrand

Audric's mom really do be like Lady Catherine from Pride and Prejudice.... Also my boy gonna need therapy or something...

,,,,,so that was spicy....
Also my brain is getting Wicked and Phantom of the Opera vibes. Except my cinnamon boy is too good to even be compared to Raoul....ugh..cringe.. even though he make stupid decisions....he's doing his best.
I did not sign up for this bamboozling...
Me watching characters do things....because.....yeah....why can't they just use their brains.....

History by C.L. Lynch

When you find a book on ebook, and you don't realize until you're like 1/3 of the way through that the book is twice as long as the first one, but you're not upset.
So I love that you can see the plot line of New Moon, but like....better...
HOWIE HOWIE HOWIE HOWIE HOWIE HOWIE. I love him. I love him so much. He is too pure. Too good for this world.
Me @ Stella:

also I'm really tempted to go off about Dean and literally all of the things that are wrong...."Babe".....like....come on....Also....Love is willing the good of the other over yourself, sooooo no..no Dean. Like I want to pull out my Catechism and Theology of the Body and throw them at his head and explain how he is not loving correctly... and yeah I mean THAT kind of loving. Because he's being super selfish and isn't thinking about her.
I love me a man who knows how to love his woman. Howie drinks respect women juice and I am here for it.

WHY ISN'T BIOLOGY OUT YET. WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY

The Heart of Betrayal by Mary E Pearson

My babies. Like..... Help me.
My girl. My queen. She fierce. She nice. She deserves the world, but the world doesn't deserve her.
Everyone protect my cinnamon roll that could kill anyone. yes. I'm leaving it that vague.
My angsty heart-broken babies.
Also I finally put together everyone, so I know how everything ends (like not in the details, but in broad strokes sooooooo) (because the Dance of Thieves/Vow of Thieves is like a sequel series but not soooooo cameos happen)
I live for devotion. I live for men who love fiercely and want to protect and honor and show devotion, but also like....let someone be their own person... OH respect. That's what I was looking for... Human dignity...that's a thing.
Curse my high expectations.
I JUST WANT THEM TO BE HAPPY AND HAVE TIME FOR A NAP. THEY ALL DESERVE ALL THE NAPS.
Like....the last few pages.... Stressed.

Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi

Ok, but magic and siblings and commentary on racism and senseless violence, and prejudice.
