LORD SHOOT ME RIGHT BETWEEN THE EYES IT WOULD HURT SO MUCH LESS!! TAKE ALL OF XUE MENG’S SUFFERING AND GIVE IT TO MEEEEE

I’m distraught, destroyed and really going through it rn, I’m NEVER taking recommendations ever again. Heartbreaking and soul destroying and like, beautiful!? So many emotions that I can’t really describe rn

WTF DO YOU MEAN XUE ZHENGYONG, YOU ARE NOT THE FATHER?


I l could never ever hate you Taxian-jun :( I love you so much 
Actually really like the fact that they’ve sort of merged back together? I mean, I’m heartbroken because yeah “Mo Ran” really became his own person, but they’ve now both lost someone from each of their timelines, and they’re both looking for each of their respective Mo Ran/Chu Wanning, but I’m loving it because you need the bad with the good, and they’re both getting that now? I dunno I’m heartbroken and so upset but I’m loving it and so so excited and eager to see where this goes


Cancel this series I’m actually so serious

Sob sob sob, fishy is slowly starting to grow on me :’)

I think this is going to be a series I need when I’ve read something traumatic, it’s very soft and sweet and has me grinning from ear to ear. He’s just a simple fish!! 

Love it, a great comfort book

Rafael patreon member here, was so excited to get these exclusive stories in physical form! 

Loved it, not a 5 star (as it’s mostly erotia and doesn’t captivate as much as the novels do haha) but some really good stories in here and really does give a bit more background to our cast (Rosier and Asmodeus, my biases)


Makes me so excited for Angels After Man, can’t wait to see these guys again for the last time :’)

A super informative and interesting subject matter I’ve never even thought about before!

Green’s non-fiction books have captivated me just as much if not more than his fiction ones. His voice really sticks in my brain? (If that makes sense haha) I was never lost, learnt something new and came out of this book a more knowledgeable person about something that doesn’t necessarily affect me, but hit me in the heart. 

I’m so glad Henry is here.

DON’T SPLIT UP MY FOUND FAMILYYY WTFFF 😭😭


LOVED IT! These characters have really grown on me :’) So glad we got some more of Mergen and Hongjun/Jinglong
but really missing A-Tai and Yongsi :(
hopefully we see them again soon!

This series is really sticking: great comedy, great banter, great chemistry and great relationships. While the middle section did drag the tiniest bit for me, I can’t wait for the next one!

Finally finished this one!

Main story was good! Really really struggled with the extras unfortunately. A decent series, but not my favourite, and not one I’ll find myself re-reading/thinking about in depth. But other volumes were still enjoyable. Yan Wushi, ny shining light I’ll miss you, you evil evil man 😈

I don’t usually rate memoirs (the irony is not lost on me here) but I can’t help but give The Anthropocene Reviewed 5 stars. 

I was (and still am) the John Green high school girly that loved Looking for Alaska and The Fault In Our Stars, and was a major Crash Course advocate, but have never really delved into John’s non-fiction work. I’m thankful I’ve done so now, I was truly missing out.

Interesting and charming and thought provoking and heartbreaking. I want to see the world and the human race the way John write about in this book. A fantastic read. Absolutely grateful for the audiobook, I enjoyed it just that much more, actually hearing it from him.

Will definitely be picking up EITB, I can’t wait for more non-fiction (and fiction!) from John!

‘Ash, why would you listen to the second book if you hated the first one?’ 😀😀😀

Wild for me to say, but I missed Josh. At least his crazy and his ‘I’m sorry women’ shtick was entertaining to me :( this was just boring. The thing is, Allen seems to have interesting concepts, and for the first 20% it’s entertaining, fun and funny. But then it drops, stays dead and plummets for the rest. 

Also, was Lauren voiced by the TikTok voice? I swear they sound the exact same… 

Anyways will probably listen to the final one I mean I’ve come this far. 

Would have been so much better if Josh and Junior kissed.

I went to a Pompeii exhibit at my local museum last year and got an idea for a book, but lo and behold after some quick research I found Biehn and ‘Vesuvius’ and was instantly hooked. Being able to follow along with updates on the publication journey was so exciting! 

A fantastic read that I adored. I absolutely fell in love with Loren and Felix.
I’m so happy that their future together can finally begin.

Sobbing, snotty mess while I was actively hyperventilating within the last 4 chapters.

Backman, what would I do without you?

His books always come to me during a time of need, and My Friends was no different. As always, he speaks directly into my heart and soul. His flawless use of comedy and heartbreak, his incredible characters that always feel real and his perfect execution of the misdirect.

No other author has or ever will write for me the way he does. He is my One of The Sea, I’m so excited for what comes next.
