"I’m sorry that you were not truly loved and that made you cruel. I’m sorry that no one saw how guilty you felt and only saw your guilt. I’m sorry that no one saw the pain you’re in but only saw the pain you caused. I’m sorry that no one realized that you hated yourself more than anyone ever hated you. And I’m sorry that I could not help you."

celaena and chaol (taylor's version)

Chaol: never learned to read your mind Celaena: never learned to read my mind Chaol: I couldn't turn things around Celaena: you never turned things around Chaol: you never gave a warning sign Celeana: I gave so many signs. You didn't even see the signs.

Rereading SJM books

And that's foreshadowing.

And so is that.

And that.

And that.

And that.

And that.

AnD ThAt.

AND THAT.

just me feeling philisophical

y'all rmb you shit on bad books too before shitting on people who shit on books you like

and yet i somehow still read them and complain that they're absolute shit afterwards 🫤

is it just me, or does the marketing tactic of "booktok fave!" or "hot on booktok!" or whatever... do the literal opposite of what it's intended to do?

Oh, it's popular on booktok? Guess I won't touch that one with a 20-foot pole.

"Arobynn once told me that second place was just a nice name for first loser."

-Celaena Sardothien

Me: I have no fears!

The fandom: Hunt could be the next “Tamlin”

Me: ...I have one fear.

book recs nobody asked for PART 2 (contemp ver.)

*minor spoilers* along with quotes I couldn't help but add in no specific order (actually yes, the order that my brain thought of):

Series

Off Campus Series by Elle Kennedy

🌶️🌶️🌶️/5

Book 1- Fake Dating

Standalones

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jekins Reid

(NA CONTEMPT/ HISTORICAL FICTION/ ROMANCE)

'I’m under absolutely no obligation to make sense to you.'

'When you're given an opportunity to change your life, be ready to do whatever it takes to make it happen. The world doesn't give things, you take things. If you learn one thing from me, it should probably be that.'

'I spent half my time loving her and the other half hiding how much I loved her.'

All Your Perfects by Colleen Hoover

(NA CONTEMPT / ROMANCE)

🌶️🌶️/5

'If you only shine light on your flaws, all your perfects will dim.'

'Until then, I will continue to love you more and more with every struggle we face than I loved you when all was perfect.'

'I used to be fine when I was alone. But now that I have you, I’m lonely when I’m alone.'

The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas

(NA CONTEMPT/ ENEMIES TO LOVES/ SLOWBURN FAKE DATING)

🌶️🌶️/5

'Because it was all you were willing to give me. And I’d rather have you hating me than not have you at all.'

'Because when I finally take those lips in mine, it will be the furthest thing from pretending. I will not be showing you what it would be like if you were mine. I’ll show you what it is. And I sure as hell won’t be showing how good I could make you feel if you called me yours. You’ll already know that I am. When I finally kiss you, there won’t be any doubt in your mind that it is real.'

The Love Hyphothesis by Ali Hazelwood

(NA CONTEMPT/ ENEMIES TO LOVERS/ SLOWBURN FAKE DATING)

🌶️🌶️/5

'"I’m going to kill you,” he gritted out, little more than a growl. “If you say another word about the woman I love, if you look at her, if you even think about her - I’m going to fucking kill you.”'

'I'm starting to wonder if this is what being in love is. Being okay with ripping yourself to shreds, so the other person can stay whole.'

'You can fall in love: someone will catch you.'

Thinking about how "No one is ever the villain of their own story" and "We are all someone's monster" are opposites but the same.
