The Wolf Den by Elodie Harper
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ stars
"Amara looks up at Venus. It's the closest she has been to the statue. Those painted eyes, so black and wide apart, don't just look watchful but angry. She is not only the goddess of love, Amara thinks, this is a deity who drives man to madness, a destroyer of warriors, author of the fall of Troy".

My Best Friend's Exorcism by Grady Hendrix
★ ★ ★ stars
"But she remembers when the word 'friend' could draw blood. She and Gretchen spent hours ranking their friendships, trying to determine who was a best friend and who was an everyday friend, debating whether anyone could have two best friends at the same time, writing each other's names over and over in purple ink, buzzed on the dopamine high of belonging to someone else, having a total stranger choose you, someone who wanted to know you, another person who cared that you were alive."

"'Staying here won't make me happy. It will make you happy because you are insipid and boring, and an insipid, boring life is enough for you. It will never be enough for me. So I'm leaving.'"

I just read In The Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado and it was so powerful and well written and raw that I don’t know what to read next
i read things have gotten worst since we last spoke in one sitting and picking it up right after lunch was like. my worst decision ever
LMAOO I adore their relationship?? So much?? It’s so refreshing to see a blossoming friendship instead of a romance for once, maybe I should find more books like these
In this house we RESPECT Raine Segupta

The Secret History by Donna Tartt

“If we are strong enough in our souls we can rip away the veil and look that naked, terrible beauty right in the face; let God consume us, devour us, unstring our bones. Then spit us out reborn.”

I finished reading The Secret History. And oh boy, that was an emotional ride.
I’m not quite sure how to describe this, but I put the book aside as soon as I’d finished reading, as if it would burn my hand if I held it any longer. I’ve looked into a bittersweet (leaning more into the bitter side) story, which could only result in drama as soon as Bunny found out about what happened. Maybe they would’ve been fine if not for that.
Still, I hoped that things would turn out fine. Even though the characters did evil things, they felt intimate, human.
The most puzzling character to me was Henry. For the most part of the book I had mixed thoughts: he was a monster, and yet was inconsolably alone within his own self; he did not care much about others, but to those who he did care he was gentle and loyal. Julian broke his heart and we could clearly see the grief in him, so he was no psychopath. At the end, his death was one of the most impactful things of the story.
All in all, The Secret History kept me wondering about relationships, and how easily they can crumble in face of tragedy.
“Forgive me, for all the things I did but mostly for the ones that I did not.”
ok i started the secret history and the murder has already been shown, so far so good
I’m going feral over this passage
To sing, to scream, to dance barefoot in the woods in the dead of night, with no more awareness of mortality than an animal!
Let God consume us, devour us, unstring our bones. Then spit us out reborn.
I cannot deal with Henry Winter rn
bro wtf are they doing in Argentina?
oh so that’s when the bacchanal comes in
It’s amazing how in the span of 200 pages Bunny has managed to be antisemitic, homophobic and sexist
You guys charles and camilla guys charles and camilla no
No
Just why
WHAT THE FUCK-
So, I’ve finished the book. I’ll do a follow up post with my review, but in short, I enjoyed it. It’s a 4/5 stars for me.
