The Beholder by Anna Bright

Do I love that the ship mates are like....fairy-tale/story tellers.... Anderson (Hans Christian Anderson)... Homer...Lang (Lang's fairy tales)
And that like...the characters are of the countries mythologies...so like...Arthur and the Round Table, the Norse Gods (I see you Loki).
Is desperately waiting for the Beauty and the Beast part of the story because she's mentioned it twice.
Also I have two ships. One that I want more than the other....and one that makes more logical sense.

Beasts and Beauty: Dangerous Tales by Soman Chainani

Ok but I love this. It's a collection of fairy tales in short story form, rather than like....a whole book-full.
Soman Chainani making me feel things, and crying. Did one scene remind me of the episode of The Twilight Zone that attacks me on a personal level. Yes.

Forest Born by Shannon Hale

"She watched the world like most people breathed air." SAME. SAME. SAME.
Youngest child. SAME.
My friend loves this series and it was her childhood series, and I'm just like...pointing out all of the ways that Rin was traumatized (lowercase t) and her attachment style with her mother and fjdskafljdsa
I feel personally victimized by this entire book. I feel seen and I do not like it.
All of my ships. All of my babies. 
Why is she here. She doesn't even go here.

The Princess Game by Melanie Cellier

I really liked the way that the curse was used in this story. I loved the secret identities (which gave me love square flashbacks-Miraculous Ladybug) and the angst (light angst). I loved how Celeste manipulated her curse and still found a way to be hecka smart.
Cute people being cute and fighting together.

Blood Spell by C.J. Redwine

Sign language...YAAAAAAS
Protective older brothers. Heart eyes. Everything I've ever wanted. I'm fine. I'm dying. I can't.
I love Keenan. I love Keenan. I love Keenan. (For some reason he reminds me of Soren from the Dragon Prince).
You can't just name someone Nessa and expect me to not make Wicked References.... "What Is This Feeling?", anyone?
I repeat as I always repeat.... WHERE IS THE FANART AND FANFICTION.
Emotional vulnerability. Heart eyes
I love Grandmere. She sassy. *Grabs wand and starts throwing random threats* Samesies.
When two people can be themselves and they bring out the best in each other and see each other for who they are, and not who they pretend to be. Showing each other that they matter. Your girl loves it when someone is like "You matter; keep on living"
...Are books the reason I'm single?
*You can't kill me vine*
