Chubbles (I talk about books and shit)

I'm reading "In Other Lands" by Sarah Rees Brennan for the third time to recover from my last book. Can we give Brennan an award for writing a hilarious, light-hearted book that is also about the dangers of war, colonialism and the corruption of the military?

I'm pissing myself. Nora Sakavic released a picture of her notes about "The Sunshine Court" but literally no one can read it. I'm trying to decode it likes its the fucking Rosetta Stone

I haven't posted in forever, but I just found out that Nora Sakavic has confirmed an AFTG spin off about Jean Moreau on her twitter, called "The Sunshine Court." Is Jerejean confirmed? This is going to be so awful. I'm so excited. I'm screaming.

It always baffles me how people say that Blue Sargent is a "not-like-other-girls" type character. Blue, who before the raven boys, was only ever close to the women in her life. She's more like "not-like-other-people."

Something inside of me is broken, because today I went to an art gallery and all I could think of was Declan Lynch. I saw a black and white abstract piece and I just thought: Declan would cry over this. 

Tbh, I hate that AFTG is set in the early 2000′s, but its only redeeming quality for me is imagining Allison in Y2K Paris-Hilton esque fashion with that trashy makeup and a belly button ring

Look, I love andreil fics where Neil is the POV but there’s just something about Andrew being the narrarator that scratches my brain right

Okay, I know so many Priory of the Orange Tree fans hate Niclays, but I actually love him. I love the trope of crotechty old people with backstories, and his relationship with that Lasian woman (I forgot her name, sorry) was so sweet. The man was going through it- his lover died and then so did Truyde, who was practically the old good thing left in his life. I understand why he went a bit crazy

Sometimes I forget that AFTG is a real book series and not something I randomly came up with in my head. Like, there’s no way its actually a published piece of literature, but there it is on my shelf

Anyone else finish “The Winners” by Fredrick Backman and feel absolutley robbed that Benji and Big City didn’t get together romantically? Yeah, I get that friendship is important but Benji already had such great friendship dynamics, and him and Big City had such potential. I really thought it was being hinted at, then Backman was like sike! SPOILER- You killed Benji tragically, at least let him have a boyfriend first?

I am coming out as a lover of Cardan’s tail!!!! It makes him unique and is a metaphor for his differences and how he hides parts of himself so others will like him more. If you want a classically attractive, normal-looking guy, read a rom-com. This is high fantasy- some of the characters are green. How many of your book boyfriends have tails? None. That’s why he’s the coolest. 

AFTG hot take: I personally really dislike Kandreil. The book spent so much time developing this intimate, unique connection between Andrew and Neil, having them gain trust with each other and gradually becoming comfortable with one another in a way they didn’t have with anyone else. I feel it would be random to just throw Kevin into that. He wouldn’t fit, and it totally changes their dynamic. I’m such a lover of Andrew and Neil together, I couldn’t imagine them with anyone else. No hate if you love Kandreil at all, you’re entitled to your opinion, and this ones mine.

POV: You just finished “The Winners” by Frederick Backman and spent an hour aggressively crying
