Keep Calm with Books and Coffee

I like books and coffee. I read a lot of YA especially fantasy of the epic and urban varieties. Also some adult fiction and non-fiction because I love history. Check out my blog, youtube or Goodreads for more. This is NOT a spoiler free blog.

The funniest and greatest part of trc was going from blue’s pov (poly and raised in a commune) to ronan’s pov (catholic and insane). One chapter blue is like me and the boys are all in love with each other, the concept of having one true love is limiting because loving someone now doesn’t negate the love you might feel for someone else in the future, i can kiss my friends and be attracted to them without anything changing between us and next chapter you have ronan going if after i die my boyfriend likes someone else more than me or even the same amount as me i’m dreaming a bomb and blowing us all up.

the dream thieves is the most perfect book ever because adam and gansey are going through a divorce, blue is breaking up with adam, ronan lets go of his crush on gansey in favor of perusing his para-religious devotion to adam full time, kavinsky is obsessed with having a threesome with gansey and ronan and sends gansey a dick pic from ronan’s phone, gansey starts dating blue behind adam's back the second they're freshly divorced and adam and blue have broken up, ronan turns kavinsky down and as a reaction to that kavinsky kidnaps ronans brother and then kills himself in front of their whole group. everyone is completely unfazed by this except for gansey who seems to care a little bit which adam thinks is cute. it's also in this book that the hitman who killed ronan’s dad starts hitting on blue’s mom. sound off in the comments if you know of any other ya books similar to this

A Mid Year Stats and Goals Update

Howdy, 

Welcome to a mid year goals update and some stats. I’m adjusting my reading goals from the beginning of the year since...things have gone differently than I planned. In some ways things are better and some not so much.

A June Wrap Up

Hey friends. I’m going to try to be more active on this blog. Its been a long long time since I did anything more than reblog on this site so I’m a bit rusty. I mostly post on IG and Youtube these days so you can find me there as well. Today I’m wrapping up my June reading

It was a good reading month and I enjoyed all the books I finished. Full thoughts in the video.

books read in 2021 - [3/?] Plain Bad Heroines by Emily M. Danforth ↳ This world where they’d spread their blanket, this moment beneath the heavy apple boughs, in the golden light, was too beautiful by half. And it would not last. And our three heroines knew this.

Just one sting will make us smart. With two, we might be brave.

Three will buzz inside our hearts. With more, we’re in the grave.

Ophelia: I'm engaged to a stranger on the other side of the world, who's family hates him, who's family's rivals hate him - both of which would like to hurt me just to fuck with him - all for some political gain I don't understand and no one will explain

Ophelia: but hey, at least the guy isn't interested in me either!

Thorn: *falls in love with Ophelia*

Ophelia: ... ok actually fuck this

The Crows at the beginning of Six of Crows and at the end of Crooked Kingdom. I wanted to draw hands and it grew into something more. The designs are inspired by both the show and the books.

BLUSEY WEDDING DAY (incorrect quote from this is us):

ronan: she's just going over her vows.

gansey: she's probably getting nervous 'cause she knows mine are gonna be epic. been perfecting these bad boys all week.

adam: *about the vows* how-how long are those?

gansey: i don't know. like, five, six minutes?

adam: okay? but this is, uh, 12-point, single-spaced.

ronan: she's gonna die of old age before you finish it if you read that to her.

gansey: i guess they could use some cuts.

adam: we'll start from the beginning, okay, and we'll see what we can trim.

gansey: "greek philosopher plato defined marriage as a conceptual agreement between two. a prominent institution regulating..."

ronan: don't care. cut it.

gansey: okay. um, how about this? Um... "a deconstruction of prince's 1991 album diamonds and pearls reveals that this will be the day that you..."

ronan: oh, cut that. cut that.

adam: just go to the time where you start talking about blue. start from there.

gansey: okay. um... okay, guys, i... i don't think i wrote vows. i think i wrote a deeply boring dissertation on marriage.
