ZAINAAAA 2, 3, 5, 16 + 17 for the end of the year book asks mwah mwah <333

[2 and 3 answered here hehe!]

5. What genre did you read the most of?

Ohhh this year, Idk if it’s bc of our convos that sparked an interest lmao, but I read a lot more classics and gothic literature than I usually do!! (Well actually my english classes probably helped lmfao). It’s tough to say I read the most of it bc tbh I’m pretty balanced with romance + literary fiction + fantasy, but I had a lot of memorable reads in the gothic lit genre. Beloved, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Northanger Abbey, Wuthering Heights, and some more modern gothic picks!

16. What is the most over-hyped book you read this year?

LMFAO don’t kill me but I did try to get through Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros, since I didn’t hate the first one completely, and ofc I didn’t financially support this woman, I pirated both times. But GODDAMN this sequel was so shit, like it was just words on paper at some point, and the slowest pacing I’ve ever seen. Everything remotely likable in the series before was literally stripped away. I have no idea how the shitty writing on top of the publishing misprints haven’t driven away all the fans. I don’t like judging people when it comes to trashy reads bc god knows I have my vices, but how Iron Flame has a 4.5 goodreads rating is beyond me. I feel like she pays her fans lmfao. Anyways I DNF-ed at 45% through after literally 2 months of trying to read it 😭

17. Did any books surprise you with how good they were?

Yes!! I love when this happens!! Counterpart by Ella Pyne literally made me feel happiness for the first time in months lmao, it was THAT good!!! The Belladonna series by Adalyn Grace was also really enjoyable! I’m so invested in this series now. It’s not perfect and it def is guilty of some YA/NA romance quirks, but I really love it. I can’t wait for the last book to come out. It’s a very unique series, like I can’t say I’ve read anything like it before tbh! Trial of the Sun Queen by Nisha J. Tuli was SO GOOD too. I expected a basic adult romantic fantasy, and I got pleasantly surprised with a lovely world setting and a feral south asian fmc whom I adore (she’s like 90% why I love it lol). Lastly, The Summer of Broken Rules by K.L Walther, was SUCH a feel good story. I’m not even joking my face hurt from smiling so much. I expected a basic contemporary romance such booktok has shit taste lmao, but this was a very sweet story about family, grief, sisterly love, and platonic love was emphasized even more than the romance ngl!

     “If the world was ending and you could go one place and one place only and a girl of your dreams was like ‘hey come over i wanna give you a blow job’ or i was like ‘come be with me while the world ends and eat gummy worms’ what would you pick? careful with your answer i know where you live.” adalyne asked her best friend whilst on facetime, laying in her bed after a long flight back home.

plot: muse a owns the apartment building muse b lives in. muse b is crazy attracted to muse a, but isn’t the smoothest when it comes to flirting, so they make-up excuses to see them. leaking pipe, squeaky door, etc. muse a starts to catch on to what muse b is doing and finds it kinda cute.

”thank you for coming on such short notice,” she smiled at him taking a step aside so he could come in. of course it was a short notice, she decided it in the same day she had a leaking pipe that needed to be fixed. well, it was not like she decided she had one, it was already leaking, but it was so subtly that it was basically nothing. “uh, i mean, it’s nothing much, it’s not leaking in like full force or anything,” adalyn chuckled a little awkwardly as she guided him inside and to the kitchen. “but it’s better to fix it right away before it does any serious damage, right?” it was the fourth time these past couple of weeks she had called him, but adalyn just couldn’t help herself. he was so damn handsome, so out of her league and she was crushing hard.

closed starter for @rcdwinedrip

The last time she saw Lucas was almost a year ago. They wrote letters to each other the whole time, it was better than nothing, but she still missed him terribly. Another person, who she had let to get close, had left her. Sort of. If he could, he would stay, but he was left without a choice, so he had to go. Somewhere deep, deep in her mind was a small voice asking ‘what if he doesn’t come back?’, which she tried to ignore. He will. Right?

She was in the middle of having dinner and watching some Netflix movie while eating, when suddenly someone rang her doorbell. It wasn’t like she was expecting anyone at this hour... A little bit puzzled Adalyn walked over to the door and looked through the peephole, and she couldn’t believe her own eyes. Right away she opened the door and with a happy squeal launched herself at Lucas. “You came back early!” She buried her face in his neck, gave it a quick kiss and tightened her hug.

     “I love it, I hate it, and I can't take it      But I keep on coming back to you”

   adalyne wished she could slap herself right about now. she really needed to stop letting the same guys come in and out of her life..it was hard though when she was traveling so much because of work and laying in hotel rooms bored and lonely. it was so easy to just take out her phone and send a text, or a snapchat to her ex. she had tried to move on but everytime she was alone he was the first one to pop into her brain. so there she was, laying in her hotel room typing out a text to the one boy she shouldn’t be texting. “heyyy, are you awake?” she typed out and sent, looking at the time on her phone after she closed out her messages. 1:30 a.m -- and she was supposed to be up for a photoshoot at 7..yeah she would have multiple regrets.
