I know this fandom has so many Nesta haters vs. Nesta apologists but I am just a fan. I think she is easily the most fleshed out character in the series and I love a protagonist that is genuinely flawed. (Feyre was next to perfect which is not relatable) Her redemption arc is so well handled and the spice is hot. and CASSIAN 🥰🥰 WHAT A MALE

I would give anything to read this for the first time again 😩

A really fun read, with a great twist. I found that I really appreciated the historical context, which is surprising for me because i usually steer clear of historical fiction. Anyway, I was afraid it was overhyped, but it's definitely not!

Back after so long!! Finally getting back into reading after months without 😅 Crazy since you'd think lockdown would've had me reading more but nope! So much going on - I graduated college!!! 🥳 Starting grad school in the Spring and made a promise to myself to read more and retrain my brain away from my phone and back to my books!! So excited to be back hopefully 2022 will be better weather for us all.

Read this for a gender class wanting to know more about how women are coerced into beauty practices everyday that hurt us... but this author is transphobic. For a lesbian, she has no empathy for the oppression of anyone different from her. As Audre Lorde said, "There is no hierarchy of oppressions" When trans women are hurt, all women are hurt. When anyone in the LGBT community is oppressed, we are all oppressed. Wildly offensive. Don't read.

"what need have we of repose when our minds and bodies continue to delight in activity? of consolation, when we have soma?" Finally finished ! I freaking love this book. Its so Bentham/John Stuart Mill-esque utilitarian it's scary. I couldn't find one likable character in the whole book, but the philosophy and the moral lessons kept me going. One of my new faves ! ?

let me know why i ordered 2 more #BOTM books when i am not even halfway through august's??? it's an addiction y'all

Seeing some long distance friends today ! NJ✈️CA with a FOUR HOUR layover in Las Vegas that has me feeling like I should've just paid the extra money for a nonstop lol. But I'm already on my second book for the trip and hoping to finish the 3 I brought for the weekend 🤞

Found this super hard to start and get into bc I thought I just didn't like the authors writing style, but it has 3 POVs and I realized it was just for that particular character and by the end I was shook. So good. Several plot twists and you never really know whats going down lol🤷‍♀️

AHHHHH as of my last book, I have officially finished 100 books!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 I know it's not a lot compared to some people on here but between my heavy school schedule and job and finding the motivation to prioritize reading, I'm really proud of myself. Here's to many more! Number 101 will be a nearly normal family from my #BOTM ✨✨✨🎉💛

Ended up liking this book by the end, I feel there was a good lesson to be learned and an interesting plot line. I know the defining feature of the book is the nadsat language but I think that's why I found it so hard to get into. The big reason I give it a so so is because it took me SO long to read and that rarely happens to me because I was so bored in the middle. Still, glad I finished 😬

Been on hiatus a while because it is taking me FOREVER to finish this book. I cannot for the life of me get into it. I figured out the nadsat language pretty quick but I just don't care about the characters or storyline so idk if I'll enjoy it much. A few good quotes are sticking with me though. Fingers crossed I finish soon 🤞

Can't believe this is the first time I've read this book... I don't even have words to describe how this made me feel. Scared, paranoid, enlightened, none of these are enough. I feel like I've learned a lot but almost wish I haven't.. but I guess that's the point - ignorance is bliss and "Ignorance is Strength"

You ever read a book but feel like you're not even close to finished with it? That's how I'm feeling now. Gotta read some HG Wells next!

"In the end the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it. Not merely the validity of experience, but the very existence of external reality, was tacitly denied by their philosophy" Reading this and handmaids tale today makes them a lot scarier.. also everyone should listen to 2+2=5 by Radiohead :)

"It had been easy to do nothing, say nothing. And once the moment passed, she couldn't come forward later. That was the thing about lies: they demanded commitment." This book is all over the place and so so good!! I suspect everyone and am sure of nothing. #botm

Such a fun book!! Easy to read, a page turner, likable characters, and important topics of class and ethics. #botm I should be moving on to my last April book soon, miracle creek :)

decided to skip this month 😔Nothing really stood out to me and I already have about 20 books from #thriftbooks I've been meaning to read and 2 from last months #botm . i'm determined to catch up by next month though bc school is winding down! 🤞

why..just why. Now I love Flynn and loved this book but at the end of it i'm just like?? what the fuck did i just read and why?? I had it mostly predicted from the start but i still can't believe some of the stuff she came up with.. just why ?????? god i'm shook

finally starting this one while I procrastinate an overdue paper and all my other books 😅 Mason is not as excited as I am, clearly

officially done! This book was a slow start for me and i was unsure about it but around halfway through i couldn't put it down! Let me tell you I almost always guess the endings and twists for books like these but this one totally got me ! I haven't read a thriller mystery as good as this one since gone girl. Onto the next #BOTM i got in march lol

*not a spoiler don't worry!* this book is uncomfortable to read, but so good. There's some gross stuff that made me concerned the author was some creep, but it turns out he is actually pretty woke. I love creepy books and anything about murder (watching criminal minds has changed me) and i can't stop reading this one. Should finish tonight☺️

"What if some males are ladies, some ladies are butch, some butches are women, some women are gay, some gays are feminine, some femmes are straight, and some straight people don't know what the hell is going on?" Loving this book for my gender and sexuality class ??

mail day! the best feeling 😋📚#botm

"All men are free and equal in the grave, if it comes to that, Mr. Wilson." Everyone should read this book. it's assigned for my early american literature class, and i'm glad we got such an important book to focus on.

i considered skipping this month because of huge class reading load and the fact that i didn't read last months yet, but i can't resist legal thrillers oops #botm

Have yet to read my picks from the March #botm and it's already time to pick my next one 😩 Might have to skip a month because school has been so busy and I really want to get around to these.. 🤷‍♀️
If anyone has read/enjoyed these lmk which I should start first! 🎉📚✨

Currently reading! It's an easy, quick read, but I never read this when I was in school and always meant to. Sitting with a glass of cranberry vodka and purple fingers from dying my hair and ready to finish this baby :) Finally checking one off the classics list !
