Sometimes I worry that I give too many books four and five star ratings (because I've genuinely enjoyed them), but then I remember that I DNF a lot of books.
Life is too short. Sorry, not sorry.

Why I annotate as I read
I used to be someone who never, ever wrote in my books. I didn't bend the spine of my most beloved volumes and made absolutely no doggy ears. While I still stick to my no goddy ear policy, I recently started to enjoy annotations.
Here are some reasons why I started annotating my books, both digital and physical.
Digital books can be a bit boring - so I started annotating them
I can capture fleeting thoughts as I read. Helps me write reviews later.
Color-coding different themes can be quite insightful
When I re-read, I can see how my thoughts changed
Especially for non-fiction, helps me read faster on a 2nd or 3rd re-read.
Because it looks pretty and the book screams, "read!"
Do you annotate your books? Why or why not?

“Most people see me as a rake, womanizer, boozer & purchaser of large baubles. But mostly I'm a reader. Give me Agatha Christie for an hour & I'm happy as a clam.” ~ Richard Burton

I don't care if you are Elizabeth Taylor, if you interupt me while I'm reading you are going to get the glare.

Tengo muchas cosas que decir sobre Llámame por tu nombre de André Aciman que estoy abrumada. Por lo mismo me he tardado en darle una reseña.
El libro, en general, me gustó, en especial su prosa. Elio cuenta LA historia de amor de un verano que lo cambió. Lo hace ya con años de separación pero no por eso sus sentimientos y su pasión es menor. Su estilo de narrar es mucho de ‘enséñame, no me digas’. Nos muestra lo mucho que ha pensado sobre esto en sus largos párrafos llenos de preguntas y en cómo se detiene y expande hasta en los más pequeños detalles. También sus descripciones evocan a los sentidos de manera que encaja muy bien con las emociones del narrador.
Otra cosa que me gustó mucho es la cantidad de referencias literarias y culturales que hacen los personajes. Aprendí varias cosas investigándolas cuando estaba anotando el libro. Además que no se sienten de que están ahí nada más, si no que quedan con los personajes.
La mera razón por la que no le pongo un 5/5 es la cuestión del age gap. Más que nada porque el hecho de que uno de 17 años se involucre con uno de 24 no parece tener importancia para los personajes. El centro del libro es ese amor que te marcó para toda la vida y por más que se sienta como el correcto, nunca lo será. Pero yo no puedo dejar de pensar que Oliver está trabajando en su maestría y Elio va a empezar su último año de prepa.
Pos bueno, me encantó esta frase:
Encontramos a Cupido en todos los lugares de Roma, pues cortamos una de sus alas para forzarle a volar en círculos.

reblog not for a “bigger sample size” but because polls like this are a fun way to help people reinforce their own self-concept and passing it along so that other people can also have the opportunity to strengthen their sense of self by pressing a button is a cool and nice thing to do

are you telling me people are actually silent when they read ? like they don't make dead squirrels noises as they read a really good fanfiction ? they don't cackle as if they were Macbeth's witches ?
no way. they lie.

A Husband Duty (GN, NSFW)
Instead of another normal love making session, you ask him to do more to you (FIC, junkie reader, IMG., more in Husband...)
—𝒀𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒐𝒃𝒆𝒓 - 𝑳𝑰𝒇𝑬 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒋𝒆𝒄𝒕 𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒕
Yan! Husband who just loves you so much that it turns into another worshipping session instead of fucking you raw without any condom on.
Yan! Husband who just eats you out / gives you head nonstop until you are overstimulated, the whole bed is wet with your cum and drool, his boxer drenched in cum as he ruts himself against the bed sheet.
Yan! Husband whose fingers teased the insides of your clenching hole, hitting that spot that makes your toes curl and eyes roll to the back. Yes, just loll out your tongue and he'll take it for granted with his mouth, sucking and licking it while he relishes in the way you whine.
Yan! Husband who will actually cum undone just from lapping up your sweet nectar, drinking it all like a thirsty man who is lost in the Sahara desert.
Yan! Husband who refuses any of your attempts in giving him head, nuh-uh, he wants to focus on you and you only. He is already wetting his boxer with his cum, what more do you want? Splatter it all over your face and hair? He'd be so fine with just your hole ♡
Yan! Husband whose cock twitches so much when it is only the tip that enters you, imagine the whole thing filling you full and deep, he is already shaking from the ejaculation, cumming deep inside you. Do you think he is done as a '5 second, take it or leave it?'
Yan! Husband who has a questionable way of ejaculating but his stamina is not to be doubted. He will pound himself deep into you while his sperm paints your insides white. Every time he pulls out, the cum would immediately pool out from your hole only to be refilled with another. (Honestly, as expected from someone inhumane)
Yan! Husband who will not stop kissing you, be it your face, lip, body, or anything as long as it's you. Can you imagine the amount of hickeys you'll be waking up to? These will surely show the servants and others just how cherished you are in his hand.
Yan! Husband who will coax more of your sweet moans, pushing your limit further with every session you have with him, yes, he will fuck you till the sun rises if you can accommodate to him. The idea of it makes his cock twitches again, he needs to be clamped tight by you.
Yan! Husband who will not stop abusing your sex, pleasuring you with his fingers as he gives you a second stimulation while he is still hammering his cock into you.
"W-why, why do you have so much c-cum, in you-!?"
"I don't know dear, maybe it's because of you. You are driving me nuts every day!"
Yulian is such a healthy man ^^ how much litter does he have left to fill you up? Ah, the bulge... it's so arousing to see your stomach bulging with his cock and cum.
Yan! Husband, the King of Aftercare, bathing you with the finest body care, roses floating while his face nuzzled up in your neck. Please, don't do anything you will regret, you don't want him to hammer his cock into you again, the whole bathtub might be his cum instead!
Yan! Husband who kisses you to sleep, letting you rest after hours of fucking you dumb. It seems like the euphoria is gone and he has regained his sanity, evident from how he's thinking how to cover all these hickeys and bite marks.
Yan! Husband who presses his lip to all those marks, kissing it better while occasionally licking some.
Maybe he shouldn't help you cover it after all.

“Thinking about history makes me wonder how I’ll fit into it one day, I guess. And you too. I kinda wish people still wrote like that. History, huh? Bet we could make some.”
Red, White & Royal Blue, Casey McQuiston.
★★★★/☆
I think for what this book is, cute romance between two young men, it is a good one. I understand the hype, completely.
The reason why I didn’t give it five stars it is because of the political aspect of the story. it feels often like an outsider perspective of the world they are supposed to be living in. Also, the problems the characters face are sometimes resolved easier than you would expect.
The biggest highlight of the book is the characters and how they interact with each other. You can see them grow and develop themselves as you read. It doesn’t matter what kind of relationship it is: friendship, romantic, siblings, coworkers. By the end you fond of then as a family. It is so nice and wholesome.
But yeah, I need my Henry, please.
