wow I just bought a book that's super popular on booktok! I sure hope it's a good book! (it's the worst piece of literature I've ever laid my eyes on I wish I could singe my eyeballs and reverse the path of the lightrays that reflected from the book onto my retina)

these stickers with "a tiktok sensation" and "now a netflix film" that are getting printed onto book covers are so annoying, like it could have been put on the back cover instead of ruining the front cover right?

Y’all I got the coolest cook book as a gift! Baking Yesteryear: by Dylan Hollis

I decided to bake something from it tonight and I went with Page 215 monster cookies except I tweaked my recipe a bit to just use ingredients I already had in my Pantry/Fridge.

Instead of M&Ms I used these White Chocolate Christmas chips, and I had to make my own brown sugar because I was out of the store bought, and I used 1 minute quick oats instead of rolled oats. But I think they turned out really good!

Another fix, this time for Elena Armas’ The American Roommate Experiment.

There are several frustrating things at play in this one for me: the lack of a defined colour palette, the inconsistent style of artwork, the faceless people and overly realistic shadowing on clothes (indicating that the people in these drawings were originally just photos, traced over and filled with basic colour), the randomly cluttered in assortments of motifs and vectors… it gives it a confused, cluttered feel.

I tried to follow the good old rule of thirds here while also establishing a more structured colour palette, giving the author’s bottom third a little cityscape to provide setting context. I removed the pizza and the gramophone entirely, replacing them as a feature with the little brass apartment key and adding the paper manuscript sheets for the lead’s romance book as a more obvious and compelling motif. I shifted the text down and filled the top third with the legs of the two character vectors (to avoid having to try and make the faces look less empty and slender man-esque) and I switched out the colour of the lady’s pants to draw the same pink through the cover art and lead the viewer’s eye down the page.

What do we think?

I HATE how books on tiktok get promoted.

Just saw “The hells of Notre Dame,” (which I already don’t like, bad title not a clever pun). And all the information we get is “dark Hunchback of Notre Dame”, “sapphic romance”, “enemies to lovers” and “enemies to lovers”.

This tells me exactly NOTHING.

Okay, we have The Hunchback. Which one tho? The book version? One of the early movies? A later movie? The French musical? The German musical? The slightly reworked English musical? The Disney movie? One of the theatre plays?

All of those are different stories with different themes.

We presumably have Esmeralda as a main character, but who is the other? Frollo, which yikes but is the only one that makes sense as the enemy to lovers thing? Quasimodo? Phobus? The poet guy? Someone new?

What does dark mean in this context? Because Hunchback always was pretty dark and heavy themes.

Dark romance? So like, Dub-con?

People in the comments are saying “this is the story I’ve always wanted!” But like… what is the story?

All I can guess is it plays in Paris, in Notre Dame and has lesbians/wlw and sex?

(Looking it up on Amazon and seeing it describe as “The Phantom of Notre Dame, where Hunchback collides with The Phantom if the operas in the streets of gothic Paris” did not help and also tell me NOTHING more about the story. Neither did the summery btw)

(Author Person if you are reading this for whatever reason I’m sorry I’m just mad at this kind of marketing. Your book might be good for all I know. And the cover is pretty and would make a nice print I guess)

#sorry for ranting #this just got me triggered somehow #really tropes to promote BOOKS makes me want to rip out my brain #I can read superbat or zutara there was only one bed tropes because I already LIKe and CARE for these characters #if all I know is that two female characters EXIST I couldn’t care LESS for their enemies to lovers plot!#reminds me of the time I saw ‘a dark queer retelling of Dorian grey’ and nearly cried #it also has some ff plots #the word retelling means nothing pls just explain what will actually happen #PLOT SUMMERY #agfhhhh #booktok #tiktok books #the hells of Notre Dame #book promotion #swugs ted talk

TikTok will praise a book to high heavens and the book will give you enough second hand embarrassment to make you want to gouge your eyes out with a screwdriver

#oMg ItS sO amAzInG #and the writing sounds like fanfiction written by a twelve year old #the plot is all over the place #and the character development is non-existent #sometimes if its a short book ill finish reading it out of mordid curiosity #I'll be thinking “it can't get worse than this”#and the author just have to prove me wrong #books #reading #romance books #literature #tiktok books

i kind of want to read every colleen hoover book to make a statistical graph and analysis about how the men and women in her books act, and the common themes of abusive relationships and lack of consent and just other wild stuff.

but i also think i will be responsible for burning all my braincells if i pursue this endeavour

#like i wanna do it for the purpose of research #but i don't hate myself enough to do this to me #there's sm to read in the world #am i willing to subject myself to 40+ books of filth for educational purposes #idk bro #colleen hoover #literature #booktok #booktwt #booktube #tiktok books #iewu #it ends with us

The song of Achilles - Madeline Miller (MY REVIEW)

The synopsis:

The story is told from the perspective of Patroclus who, exiled by his father to live in the court of Peleus, soon falls in love with his host's son, the superhuman Achilles: from childhood, his demi-god status means he is swifter, more beautiful and more skilled than all his peers.

My review:

Finished reading: 08/01/23

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.9

SPOILERS AHEAD!

“In the darkness, two shadows, reaching through the hopeless, heavy dusk. Their hands meet, and light spills in a flood, like a hundred golden urns pouring out the sun.”

Where do I start with this book! A solid 4.9⭐️

I was hesitant at first. I am new to these genres (Romance / Fantasy) but I thoroughly enjoyed it, for the entirety of the book.

At the beginning, For the first 20-30 pages, it is slightly confusing as it is just introducing characters, settings and backstory etc (If you are new to Greek Mythology, it is not confusing at all after this point. I am completely new to greek myths so I was put off, but I am glad to see how easy it was to understand.) Once you read past page 30, This book was not confusing nor hard to understand at any point, which I appreciate. You can tell the sheer amount of hard work, effort and research that went into producing this novel, and the pay off was more than worth it.

Usually romance bores me. Like why on earth would you want to read/watch about people falling in love? However this book did it justice. TSOA had just the correct amount of angst, spice, Plot and romace throughout. I was not bored because it was not just romance, there was an active plot through this whole book and I loved that. It was paced so well, It wasn’t too quick or too slow. This book entertained me and it I was very hard to put down!!

Character development (both good and bad) is so key for books, And I saw it in almost everyone in this book. The emotions were portrayed were so raw and real, I truly felt like I was going through it with them. (I did go through the 5 stages of grief with this book)

If you are looking for a spicy, fun, heart-breaking read, I would totally recommend this!

The reason it was marked 4.9 stars by me, Was because I would’ve like more of them at Chiron’s cave, because I thought it was so interesting. Despite only being in a small sliver of the book, the cave scenes/time with Chiron had such a huge impact on the characters which you can evidently see throughout the book. :)

A/N: Date today is the 25th of May 2023. FIVE MONTHS BLOODY LATER and I still think about this book on a daily basis.

Please, if you do nothing else, read this book, i is beautifully written and will leave you in love for months after.

It's really funny to me that "mafia romance" is a genre of Tiktok books, because one of the reasons my parents divorced was my dad's involvement with bratva. I spent some time listening to him and his friends who actually stayed in crime scene. They're mostly really depressed toxically masculine guys, going through their third or fourth divorce. They usually die of substance abuse or untreated heart conditions at like 45. They're the least romantic men I can think of. Funnily enough, the only thing TikTok authors get right, is that these guys adore little children and will totally slap a bitch for them. Can't actually commit to bringing them up though.

My small tiny collection of nightmares & fairytales books/comic with a cloth plush doll made based on the doll in the books/comics who tells you tales from past owners she’s had

Can you believe I found this doll when I was a teenager in a king’s comics shop in Sydney Australia 🇦🇺

Back when I was a teenager in Australia it was pretty hard to get plush / dolls of any books I was into then so I had to get this doll when I saw her (also she’s in the box she came in because I’ve always had cats so worried they might harm her if she wasn’t in her box safe being as she’s a cloth doll)
