[devout socket]

oh god, when you said you were starting your collection I thought you had just started as a reader or smt, but it's so cool that you have so many

[devout socket]

ty 😭🫶

[magic patio]

PLS

I've been reading for so long

been at a high reading lvl since i was 12 💪

Didn't start getting books until 2020 tho

[devout socket]

same 😭 but I know so many people who found the joy in reading when they were getting out of high school

[devout socket]

I love that, I don't know when I started exactly but I think being autistic definitely did smtn there, I knew how to read books when I was 4 😭😭😭

[magic patio]

W

I wish my brother liked to read 😭

[devout socket]

and I became absolutely OBSESSED with Harry Potter when I was like 7 yo and read the books around that age, in Spanish tho since it's my first language

[devout socket]

is he younger or older? if you don't mind me asking ofc

[magic patio]

i love harry potter, maybe i'll host a marathon of hp here soon

[magic patio]

older 😭
i'm 17 & he's 22 next month

[devout socket]

because I seriously have met and heard about so many people who just can't seem to pick up a book when they're younger but become readers when they're older

[devout socket]

oh

well

then you're the reader of the family

[magic patio]

ong

my sister and i share books w each other

i'll finish reading one & send it her way

she does the same

i love it

[nocturne rain]

hi everyone

[devout socket]

oh that'd be so cool actually 🫶

[nocturne rain]

oh worng channel 😭

[magic patio]

she has one of mine rn about greek gods, waiting for her to give it back LOL

[magic patio]

yess

[devout socket]

that's so cool, I wish my sister and I liked the same genre of books to do that, but I'm the hopeless romantic and she likes reading about blood and battles and violence so

[magic patio]

Maybe you can find one that has both!!

My fav series since forever is Eve by anna carey, it's got a bit of both in it

i need to reread it

[devout socket]

that's a good idea actually, I never thought of it

[devout socket]

ooh I'll keep that name in mind

[magic patio]

lmk if you read it!

Also a tip

If you rly want a book but it's a bit expensive, find it on amazon and find one in good condition for a cheap price

i just got one for like $2

#hacks

[devout socket]

I will, tysm <33

[magic patio]

ofc!

[devout socket]

do any of you use storygraph? it's like goodreads but I like it better since goodreads is always down for me 😭

[severe fossil]

funny cause I read so many more books when I was younger.. my sisters too, they’re both 12 and they’re reading like crazy, they’re swallowing one book after another XD

[severe fossil]

never heard of story graph tbh I might check that out too !

[devout socket]

I was a bit like that, I read book after book when I was around 8 to 12 and then stopped until 2021 when I started reading again

[severe fossil]

sameee!!!

[severe fossil]

I got out of reading until I found such a great book in 2021 and since then I’ve been reading again :)))

[wooden thicket]

You’re so real for having the chronicles of narnia

[magic patio]

yesss

[valid harbor]

i refuse to believe Harry Potter is still advertised as a kid series

my 13yo did not have much fun when sobbing and screaming in her pillow while reading abt ||freds death||

[hollow shale]

omg there’s a book club

[devout socket]

my 7yo says the same lmao 😭

[devout socket]

the best part of the server tbh 🫶

[hollow shale]

i have sooo many books but i cant focus enough to read recently ]:

[devout socket]

oh I get that :(( I had like three readers blocks last year and I suffered through them, but at some point there'll be a book you'll pick up and can't put down again

[valid harbor]

samee

[hollow shale]

i read daisy jones and evelyn hugo back to back and now im in such a bad readers block but they were both so good it was worth it

[devout socket]

yeahh, that happens, you'll surely get out of it soon <33

[void ore]

ugh i hate that for you. i hope you get out of it soon

[devout socket]

goodnight everyone! i hope u all sleep well 🫶

[regal pier]

[devout socket]

OMG WHSJQBS

[regal pier]

a guy from bridgerton is in it i think

[devout socket]

yeah well.. wattpad is on another level when it comes to smut tbh, I don't think they ever think about what they're writing

[regal pier]

i dont think they ever even know what theyre writing

[devout socket]

even tho I've read actually good stuff on wattpad but they're like a few exceptions 😭

[radiant crypt]

KNOWING THOSE TERMS WERE ACTUALLY USED IM 😭😭😭

[devout socket]

tbh

[regal pier]

i was heavy on dreamnotfound fanfiction during my time at wattpad

😭

[radiant crypt]

i’ve only read wattpad a few years ago now i’ve stopped😭

[warm pagoda]

[devout socket]

oh god 😭

[devout socket]

[regal pier]

[warm pagoda]

[regal pier]

[devout socket]

GOD THAT MOVIE MAKES ME WANG TO THROW UP

[warm pagoda]

[radiant crypt]

oohh ive heard abt that but i havent read it

wasnt that like problematic

[warm pagoda]

oh no is it smut too

[radiant crypt]

or was it a diff author

[regal pier]

this is my classmates fault she acts like one of the characters

[regal pier]

im not sure

[warm pagoda]

and it was written ab harry styles like.

😭

[regal pier]

imagine harry going to a bookstore and seeing that

[radiant crypt]

the love hypothesis be like 😭😭

[devout socket]

I think I've read like ONE actually good fanfic, it was in spanish and from the beggining the author noted that she didn't feel comfortable writing smut so it was just a bittersweet story abt the victorian age

[warm pagoda]

wait how is that book

ao3 is sm better than wattpad tbh

[devout socket]

what the

[radiant crypt]

i didnt like it lmao 😭 but so many ppl do

[regal pier]

looking back the only truly good dream not found fanfic i've read was this one sad one called rooftops and this other 80s dark poets society-ish one called sparks

[radiant crypt]

tlh didnt rlly live up to the hype (in my opinion) but i love stem girlies so

[warm pagoda]

ive seen sm people on booktok going crazy about it bye the only reason i wanted to read it was bcs theyre scientists (i think)

[regal pier]

i read an epub of love on the brain and my mind just said no

[warm pagoda]

dar are u desi by any chance

[devout socket]

and the fact that it's not the kind of story that gets turned into a real book, compared to the ones that do, just made me lose faith in humanity once more

[regal pier]

i think it was cus of women in stem and we all know booktoks type, tall muscular have good hands men

[radiant crypt]

yes they’re scientists! and booktok loves the book but i rlly dont see why lmao

[regal pier]

no i'm filipino

[radiant crypt]

i want to read love on the brain but only bc it has women in stem 😭😭

[warm pagoda]

ohh ur name sounded desi

[radiant crypt]

i love women in stem 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

[warm pagoda]

YEAH igwym

[regal pier]

my full names darcy dar is just a nickname

[warm pagoda]

its the same w spanish love deception

[regal pier]

istg booktok hypes up any book w smut and hot guys

[warm pagoda]

THE URGE TO THROW UP

[radiant crypt]

i kind of like spanish love deception prob bc it’s fake dating lmaoo😭

but it isnt rlly my top fav yk

[regal pier]

[radiant crypt]

[warm pagoda]

ive never seen actual books w good smut

[warm pagoda]

HELP

[regal pier]

the reason why she wrote it ends with us is good but the book is just bad 😭

i am never touching another colleen hoover book in my life ever

[regal pier]

it was a dedication to her mom i think ??

[radiant crypt]

i havent even read one coho book and i wanted to but when i saw how problematic coho was..

[warm pagoda]

this also i just dont like her

[warm pagoda]

RIGHT

[regal pier]

im actually so proud of my mom since shes on booktok cause of me and she only reads tjr and emily henry

[radiant crypt]

the way everyone is so obsessed with coho is insane like there’s so much good books to read😭😭

[regal pier]

RIGHT

[devout socket]

I'm just always uncomfortable reading smut, I like the tension before it starts in some books but the smut is just always like a skip for me 😭

[regal pier]

the woman STAYS AWAY from coho

[radiant crypt]

omg ur mom is so real and emily henry🫂

[regal pier]

i saw someone like ugly love but get bored from malibu rising like ???

[warm pagoda]

[warm pagoda]

everyone read red white & royal blue

[regal pier]

i feel so bad for this girl i used to be friends with though she hates any form of smut whatsoever and bought evelyn hugo 😭 and according to google that has smut

[warm pagoda]

its one of the only booktok books i like

[regal pier]

same and i dont think reading 4 books all at once is gonna help me

[radiant crypt]

this is on my tbr too and a friend of mine loves it

[warm pagoda]

READ IT PLSPLSPLS

[regal pier]

the only booktok book i liked was beach read and a good girls guide to murder

[devout socket]

I loved it but compared to the other Casey McQuiston books I think it's the one I liked the least

[warm pagoda]

i do this bc i have one book on every device

[devout socket]

but that's probably just because I wanted to read more books with sapphic representation

[radiant crypt]

i have like 5 books on my cr bc i keep starting a new one when one book starts to get boring..

[sharp vapor]

@radiant crypt has leveled up! (8 ➜ 9)

[radiant crypt]

i’m trying so hard to not get my fav books on booktok 😭😭

[warm pagoda]

ur so valid for this

gimme sapphic recs if u have them

[radiant crypt]

so reall

[regal pier]

u guys should read the light we lost by jill santopolo its one of my current reads and i love it 🫶

[radiant crypt]

i need more sapphic books

[warm pagoda]

i havent read their other books but theyre on the top of my tbr!!

[regal pier]

sadly a good girls guide is my favorite book

[warm pagoda]

her name in the sky & far from u are some of my favs

[regal pier]

i kissed shara wheeler

[warm pagoda]

READING THIS NEXT LMFAO

[regal pier]

theres wlw rep in malibu rising but i wouldnt rlly say that its a sapphic book

[radiant crypt]

added to my tbr!

do yall have goodreads

[devout socket]

I read three books last year, two by Casey McQuiston: One Last Stop & I kissed Shara Wheeler and The falling in love montage by Ciara Smyth

[radiant crypt]

there’s also sapphics on foolish hearts!

[regal pier]

everytime i try to access my goodreads it keeps logging me out the next day 😭

[radiant crypt]

so scared for when booktok finds out abt thomas cresswell and jamie watson bc my friend said they’re all basically the same person😭

[devout socket]

and I bought some more last christmas; she drives me crazy by kelly quindlen and crier's war by nina varela

[radiant crypt]

i need to read them asap😭😭

[radiant crypt]

nooo omg😭

[regal pier]

imo the elle kennedy the deal the mistake whatever that books are called are so overhyped

[devout socket]

I haven't read them yet tho

[regal pier]

theyre all just smut.

[devout socket]

SAME, it doesn't work for me at all, but I use Storygraph which I really like

[radiant crypt]

i love she drives me crazy !! scottieirene are so cute

[radiant crypt]

i read them and ngl they’re basically like fanfics

[devout socket]

that's the one I'm reading next then 🫡

[sharp vapor]

@devout socket has earned the long sleeves role!

[devout socket]

omg yay

[radiant crypt]

yayyy

[radiant crypt]

so real!!

[regal pier]

congrats !!

[regal pier]

and every boy from that series is fancasted with the same guy like

[devout socket]

ty 😭🫶

[radiant crypt]

the writing isnt even good😭

[warm pagoda]

yes omg send urs in the self promo channel

[radiant crypt]

but they are fast reads so 😭

[radiant crypt]

just sent mine!!

[warm pagoda]

oo im adding the last one to my list ty

[regal pier]

this might be a bit controversial but 2021-early 2022 booktok was so much better than whatever it is we have now

[devout socket]

ofc ❤️

[regal pier]

now we just have men obsessed girls wanting to read about those men doing stuff to other girls

[warm pagoda]

real

[regal pier]

so many of the books i read when i started reading was from "old booktok" since tbh the recs from then are just better

[radiant crypt]

i’m not on booktok but i agree based in what ive heard

i’m more on booktwt

[devout socket]

YES, when it comes to english booktok, but my first language is spanish and I absolutely hated early spanish booktok

[regal pier]

booksta > booktok tbh

booksta doesnt just repeat the same recs over and over again

[radiant crypt]

booksta and booktwt have the best recs

[warm pagoda]

tiktoks banned here i feel so blessed

[barren needle]

turtles all the way down by john green is a MASTERPIECE

poetry wise anything by rupi kaur

colleen hoover IS good. no one can convince me otherwise.

[devout socket]

well

I didn't hate it ends with us..? but I also didn't like it and coho as an individual is a terrible person 😭

[tame linden]

but those aesthetics tiktoks about books are soo good

[regal pier]

iewu feels so neutral its actually hard to decide how u feel abt it

[tame linden]

it is because i didn’t love it but also didnt hate it i don’t know how to feel about it

[velvet tapir]

im scared of you

[bitter ravine]

circe by madeline miller is great too, better

[void ore]

omg i read this for school

[simple temple]

You didn't like it ends with us?

I mean I found it deep and tough

I think it's the perfect mix of total cliche and disgusting reality

[devout socket]

I just found it pretty disturbing ig, it didn't feel like other books I've read, the ones that transport me into other realities, I was just so aware of it being a book that I couldn't like it that much

[orchid hull]

NO WAY

[regal pier]

anything like abuse or homophobia or smut in books just makes me feel disgusted

[regal pier]

right like cohos books is just the real world on paper

[devout socket]

exactly

and not even in a way which I can still enjoy it bc it just disturbs me

[glossy hawk]

so slay?

[jade warren]

[regal pier]

some booktokers just make them to appear sm more than they are

[glossy hawk]

but i‘ma be honest if she releases a book i‘ll buy it

[glossy hawk]

yea

it‘s not a the secret history or babel read but it entertains me

when i‘m in the mood for fantasy i‘ll read that if i want dark academia i‘m not gonna @choose a coho book? easy as that

[jade warren]

OOH YEAH THIS

[lofty kestrel]

💤 @regal pier is AFK: nap - 51 minutes and 52 seconds ago

[fossil stratus]

have you guys seen the it ends with us colouring book 😭

[radiant crypt]

someone tweeted this and i was so confused why it exists 😭😭

[fossil stratus]

i saw it through a tik tok and was flabbergasted. i don't ever intend to read any colleen books but from what i've heard of iewu, i don't think it should be a colouring book

[radiant crypt]

fr i know it was abt violence and abuse and why does it have to be in a coloring book?😭

[fossil stratus]

not only why, but who would buy it? LIKE IT DOESNT MAKE SENSE

[rancid wraith]

ofc colleen is being a weirdo again

[fossil stratus]

colleen is so problematic, i don't know why she has such a dedicated fanbase

[rancid wraith]

literally 😭 ppl r sooo weird acting like there aren’t betters authors out there

[fossil stratus]

i can't trust people who praise any of her novels 😭 i read all your perfects and ugly love years ago and they were just like any other romance novel tbh

[rancid wraith]

omg right like her books r nothing special sorry….

[fast kayak]

omg the colouring book 😭

[warm pagoda]

[cerulean surge]

I'm reading throne of glass

[fossil stratus]

i just finished reading the little friend by donna tartt! i don’t know what to read next but i keep seeing people talk about richard siken so maybe some of his poems

[simple temple]

I'm reading everything we never were, by alice kellen

[fossil stratus]

anyone have any good recs atm?

[summer junco]

what genre are you looking for?

[fossil stratus]

anything other than romance 😭 i read too much romance a few years ago and i just stopped tbh. i lean more towards shorter classics and more non-fiction but fiction is fine

[summer junco]

oooo okok, for shorter classics maybe "the little prince", "of mice and men", and "animal farm"

[summer junco]

also you def should read some richard siken poems 😩 try some poems from mary oliver and ocean vuong too!

[fossil stratus]

yess i've read on earth we're briefly gorgeous and night sky with exit wounds!! i'll def check out some mary oliver poems

[fossil stratus]

i read the little prince towards the end of last year and it was really cute oml. i'll definitely look into of mice and men but maybe not animal farm cause i hear it's a bit brutal 😭

[summer junco]

from what i remember, of mice and men is quite depressing so be warned 😭 and yeaa animal farm reflects tragic real life events

[tame linden]

omg i love poems

[tame linden]

omg i really wanna read that

[simple temple]

I'm loving it

But it has summer vibes and now it's winter so I'm not enjoying that much

[tame linden]

i hope i can buy it soon

[tame linden]

i love reading summer books

[simple temple]

Yeah, they're like super happy and positive

[fossil stratus]

one of my fav summer books that i read recently was breathless by jennifer niven! i dont usually like romances but this was such a good book if you like outerbanks x the summer i turned pretty (without the love triangle) vibes!

[velvet tapir]

same I find that romance is rarely written well

I dont dislike it as a genre just all the hyped ones r bad srry

[fossil stratus]

yess!! i love jennifer niven, both books of hers that i've read, i really enjoyed. i need to read holding up the universe now

[velvet tapir]

adding to my tbr thank you

[fossil stratus]

wait sorry i read ur response wrong BUT READ JENNIFER NIVEN I THINK SHES PRETTY WELL WRITTEN!!

[velvet tapir]

I will the description for the summer book sounds so good

[fossil stratus]

trueee - another reason i lean away from it tho is just that the romance i read was always really smutty for some reason 😭 and idk they all become the same once you read smutty romance enough

[velvet tapir]

so true oh mygod I cant stand smut

[fossil stratus]

the hyped ones are never good and authors like penelope douglous and colleen hoover who have high hyped romance books are problematic authors

[fossil stratus]

if i'm being so honest, fanfiction smut is usually written better than published book smut 😭

[velvet tapir]

I like books w a storyline where it delves into the characters most r just marketed towards smut no shade to anyone who likes those though

[fossil stratus]

omg so true. i think if the plotline is just setting them up to sleep w each other, the story usually lacks a bit. but if you don't care ab plot and you just want something like a smut book then its fine too bc they can be pretty entertaining

[velvet tapir]

idk if ur looking for recs I read this book called the upside of falling by alex light and it was so cute it delved into the characters and had a storyline so id def tell u to read

[fossil stratus]

yes i am looking for recs! i'll def add that to my storygraph tbr

[simple temple]

Omg outerbanks is amazing

[summer junco]

omggg you have storygraph? mostly everyone ik uses goodreads but im not a fan of the user interface for it 😭

[fossil stratus]

i never really got into goodreads 😭 i mean i have an acc but i don't use it at all. i found storygraph through jack edwards last year and it's just so nice!! you can tell a book reader made it in comparison to goodreads thats just a bit too outdated

[devout socket]

@summer junco @fossil stratus I'll post my storygraph user on the self promo channel so you can add me if you'd like to 😭

[fossil stratus]

omg yess! i'll def add you

[sharp vapor]

@fossil stratus has leveled up! (4 ➜ 5)

[fossil stratus]

just added you!

[devout socket]

yayy, it's great to find other peopke who use the app, I love it sm 😭

[devout socket]

okayy I'll add you back rn

[devout socket]

done!

[fossil stratus]

it's sooo helpful! and even w/o the premium feature its really good

[fossil stratus]

yayy!!!

[devout socket]

ikr, it's the best

[fossil stratus]

i'm surprised not many book readers know ab it compared to goodreads 😭 i feel like it's just a lot better in general and not just bc its features are more modern

[void ore]

do we get to color the stairs 💀

[fossil stratus]

OMG UNHINGED STOP😭

[void ore]

ugly love by coho was too much i couldn't even deal with it

i swear every other chapter was smut

i stopped reading those scenes i would just skip forward

[devout socket]

FR, goodreads is always down for me, idk why 😭

[void ore]

coho seems problematic and i don't like her fanbase after zlibrary was taken down

[devout socket]

NO WAY 😭

[void ore]

was i too out of pocket??

[fossil stratus]

her fanbase is so dedicated to her but she's done a lot of shady stuff 😭

[fossil stratus]

yes i but i loved it

[void ore]

yeah and why would you make your book into a coloring book

how does that even work

[fossil stratus]

not just that, it's the contents of the book thats worrisome 😭

[void ore]

yeah it's a coloring book for a book about domestic abuse

[velvet tapir]

my introduction to reading was all your perfects

never read a book off an edit

[sharp vapor]

@velvet tapir has earned the rockland role!

[void ore]

i'm actually scared to read any more of her books, especially this one

the only book by her i like (i've read ugly love, november 9, and it ends with us) was november 9

but i hated it after the plot twist

[devout socket]

I'd get a colouring book for like the secret garden or idk some pretty aesthetic gardening book... but it ends with us???? 💀

[void ore]

LITERALLY

[velvet tapir]

I read the whole thing bc I was like this is the first book ive ever read by choice I have to finish at least one book

[fossil stratus]

all your perfects was one of the first books i read when i was getting into reading and i remember it being pretty okay at the time 😭 i think that;s one of her few more bearable books

[sharp vapor]

@fossil stratus has earned the long sleeves role!

[void ore]

i hate not finishing books bc i just wanna know how it ends

but all her books take forever for me to read

[fossil stratus]

stop same, i also feel like its a waste not to finish in a way

[void ore]

i'm using every piece of my will power to finish her books

[void ore]

yeah! mainly bc i'm super competitve with my goodreads reading challenge but not finishing it feels like a waste of my time

[fossil stratus]

i'm just so confused as to why so many people enjoy her books? especially the ones that aren't very good ...

[fossil stratus]

TRUEE i was so competitive w my storygraph reading challenge last year cause i set the goal too high 😭

[velvet tapir]

I think ellie kennedy is also a threat

[summer junco]

omg on the topic of colleen hoover, she actually took down the post for the colouring book and said she told her publisher that they will not be going forward with it 💀

[velvet tapir]

please leave us alone we do not care abt the desl

[summer junco]

yes will be adding you!!

[devout socket]

PLS

[fossil stratus]

i read the whole deal series years ago and it was so unmemorable ...

[fossil stratus]

THE PUSHBACK WAS BADD SO IM NOT SURPRISED

[void ore]

i kinda wanna read the deal

but it's mainly bc gracie was fan cast

[fossil stratus]

elle kennedy isnt as bad as coho but there's def better romance writers out there

[void ore]

like i'm not even gonna lie if gracie is in the fan cast i will read it

[velvet tapir]

theyre fatphobic for that fc

Bc why did I see the girl is described as curvy

[void ore]

i actually really liked the love hypothesis

[void ore]

wait seriously

[velvet tapir]

yeah which is like... why u cast gracie then

^would

[fossil stratus]

i havent read that but my friend made me read the traumatising smut scene towards the end

[velvet tapir]

the defence for her is what gets me

[fossil stratus]

truee - so many people who fc book characters to be skinny even when they're described to not be and its so frustrating

[velvet tapir]

that steph boher girl or whatever saying anyone wjo doesnt like colleen is a pick me

[fossil stratus]

BYEE

i'll be a pick me if it means that i can stay as far away from colleen hoover as i physically can

[void ore]

yeah that was actually mildly traumatising but the fluff is cute

[velvet tapir]

book twitter book tiktok whoevers fancasting is something else esp w characters of colour theyll use fcs who arent even the right race

[void ore]

and that was the only smut scene so i just skipped past it

i didn't like the portrayal of her being tiny though

she was like "his hand was so much larger than me. i wondered what else was large"

[fossil stratus]

omg true - and then people will get mad when they use the correct fc for a character 😭

[void ore]

and i was like uh no. but there were only 2 references to that

[void ore]

that's just so argh

that makes me mad

[fossil stratus]

all smut books are like that ... thats such a weird trope

[void ore]

it truly is

[fossil stratus]

it's giving infantilisation

[void ore]

DID STEPH SAY THIS

[velvet tapir]

she did

[void ore]

i was gonna buy her hopeless romantic shirt but not anymore

[void ore]

valid

[velvet tapir]

this is why when everyone raves abvher im like ?

need more books from black/ women of colour authors too I never see anyone hyping any so I guess ill have to do some research

[fossil stratus]

wait also i know iewu is an autobiography of colleen's mother but i feel like.. it's kinda iffy in a way? like, it's kinda set up so that you can't talk bad about it because it's suppose to be based on a real story

[velvet tapir]

oh wow?

[fossil stratus]

it's such a niche section to see poc books hyped up

[fossil stratus]

yeah - i've seen reviewers be really hesitant to fully review it bc of that reason

[void ore]

yeah

i feel like it didn't need to be a romance though

like the book would've been more impactful without atlas

atlas just made it a romance and that was it

[velvet tapir]

I completely agree

mixing abuse and romance is very complicated to do and most dont do it correctly

[fossil stratus]

i def think there was a better way to write it bc i think the reason it's been popularised is bc its been marketed as a romance when it's not and then people are just left shocked at the end...

[fossil stratus]

even then, if this is about your parent why are you trying to turn it into a romance?

[velvet tapir]

nightfall by penelope douglas is another one where abuse and romance was mixed and man

[fossil stratus]

omg stop penelope douglous is also super problematic espeically w credence i think?

[velvet tapir]

my friend read it and I was like if another author who had a better input wrote this it could be very good

[void ore]

i'm debating reading it starts with us, but i just despise her books so why should i

[fossil stratus]

at least that's what ive seen people say

[void ore]

ISN'T SHE THE AUTHOR OF BIRTHDAY GIRL OR WHATEVER

the one where the girl gets with her ex's dad

i read the summary and was like WHAT

[fossil stratus]

BRO WHAT

[fossil stratus]

stunned

[void ore]

ANGIE PLEASE GOOGLE THIS I CAN'T EVEN EXPLAIN IT

[fossil stratus]

IM SCARED BUT ILL BRB 😭

[void ore]

she's 19 and he's 38 like hello?

[fossil stratus]

From New York Times Bestselling author Penelope Douglas comes a new forbidden love story...

JORDAN
He took me in when I had nowhere else to go.

He doesn't use me, hurt me, or forget about me. He doesn't treat me like I'm nothing, take me for granted, or make me feel unsafe.

He remembers me, laughs with me, and looks at me. He listens to me, protects me, and sees me. I can feel his eyes on me over the breakfast table, and my heart pumps so hard when I hear him pull in the driveway after work.

I have to stop this. It can't happen.

My sister once told me there are no good men, and if you find one, he's probably unavailable.

Only Pike Lawson isn't the unavailable one.

I am.

PIKE
I took her in, because I thought I was helping.

She'd cook a few meals and clean up a little. It was an easy arrangement.

As the days go by, though, it's becoming anything but easy. I have to stop my mind from drifting to her and stop holding my breath every time I bump into her in the house. I can't touch her, and I shouldn't want to.

The more I find my path crossing hers, though, the more she's becoming a part of me.

But we're not free to give into this. She's nineteen, and I'm thirty-eight.

And her boyfriend's father.

Unfortunately, they both just moved into my house.

*BIRTHDAY GIRL is a stand-alone, contemporary romance suitable for ages 18+.

[void ore]

maybe that age difference would be acceptable if they were 69 and 88 but she's a TEEN

[fossil stratus]

sorry its huge but thats the goodreads synopsis ...

[void ore]

i just cringed

[velvet tapir]

like thats what annoyed me this character emmy was really socially and politically aware then she defends this other character damon for being w a like 13 year old when he was 16 like????

[fossil stratus]

omg that sounds kinda familiar? i've read one penelope douglous series and it was ...interesting to say the least

[fossil stratus]

the elderly lovestory we were all waiting for

[void ore]

pls i'm sure there is one

i may read the plot summary

OKAY WAIT WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT A MILLION KISSES IN YOUR LIFETIME

[fossil stratus]

theres a lumberjack quarantine lovestory out there yk

[void ore]

since we're discussing disturbing smut

[fossil stratus]

i just needed u to know

[void ore]

the blowpop scene made me scream

[fossil stratus]
