This girl is charged with all the femininity in the world. If you go near her or touch her with your finger, a spark will light up the room and either kill you on the spot or electrify you for your whole life. If it’s so painful for a man to love and absorb electricity, how much more painful it must be to be a woman and to be the electricity, and to inspire love.
Boris Pasternak, Doctor Zhivago (1957)
#the soviets going through this book with a magnifying glass: 'i spotted a FEELING on PAGE 497!'#reread it over the holidays and can confirm it is still an absolute banger#doctor zhivago#boris pasternak#literature

“He smiled. This was a permanent madness. And he couldn’t have been more pleased”
- Colin Bridgerton about how he feels just being in Penelope Featheringtons presence, Romancing Mister Bridgerton pg 282
I am SCREAMING
“She would keep him on his toes, this woman”
- Colin Bridgerton thinking about how hot Penelope Featherington is, Romancing Mister Bridgerton pg 283
The screams that I have scrumpt
“Do I look a mess?” She asked. He nodded. “But you’re my mess,” he whispered. And he was very glad for that.
- Romancing Mister Bridgerton pg 288
And he was very glad for that. And he was very glad for that. And he was very glad for that. I’m on the ground!!!
#bridgerton#romancing mister bridgerton#julia quinn#y’all can’t convince me that Julia Quinn is a bad writer when she’s dishing out absolute BANGER lines like this#this is such a fun read her writing is so fun especially after watching the show#I highly recommend watching the show then reading the book and seeing all the quotes the pulled into the show then rewatching the show agai#colin bridgerton#penelope featherington#polin#luke newton#nicola coughlan

Honestly would absolutely love it if the Percy Jackson show incorporated some of the songs from the Percy Jackson Musical into their instrumentals. Imagine how awesome that'd be.
#if they can use a cover of riptide surely they can use a few notes or instrumentals from the actual Percy Jackson Musical#I also heard that one of the main people behind the musical score from the musical was recruited for the show so I'm hoping!#like how cool would it be to hear 'we're lost in the woods somewhere in New Jersey' when they actually ARE lost in the woods in the tv show#wouldn't that be a nice way to pay hommage to the musical???#which for so many fans was the only 'book accurate' adaptation we had for the longest time?#not to mention of course that the songs alone are absolute BANGERS!!!!!#fingers crossed 🤞#percy jackson#percy jackson and the olympians#percy jackson musical#percy jackson tv show#percy jackson trailer#music#disney+

it's so funny to me that a lot of people only know the vampire chronicles books by the TVL intro. like those books do have a lot of things to criticize but the general prose is good lestat is just like . that
#the thing that kept me hooked on the books is the writing style and the character moments#they're not Ebony Darkness Dementia Way books in general lestat is just so fucking annoyignkefbjenfjd#iwtv#tvc#vc#interview with the vampire#the vampire chronicles#lestat#lestat de lioncourt#a lot of absolutely banger monologues from the show are taken directly from the page#lestat is just CUNTY#1k

one day i will get a ream of Seasons Greasons cards printed and inflict them upon my friends and siblings but in the meantime there’s a lot of only slightly less cursed christmas card deadstock to work through
#my favorite local thrift for stationery has just put out several giant bins of loose holiday cards#mostly one offs#i poked through very quickly looking for vintage ones and came away with a half dozen mismatched ones#but they’re also 50c each which is tolerable for vintage but not for newer ones#i might as well go to target on December 26th and get tidier stacking ones cheaper#i don’t remember if they run a specific books and stationery weekly sale but i wasn’t able to ask this time. next time i’ll get em#or maybe they will give me a deal if i buy 50 bc i do tend to send out roughly 50 cards for a holiday season#this season has taught me that i need more blank wintery cards for the growing new years card absolutely no mention of christmas contingent#i have some generic happy holidays ones but they’re not quite it#evil lair llc#which is turning into more of a lifestyle tag#aaaa im so excited to send out cards this year there are some bangers

i finally got around to playing feh's latest chapter..........................
(revelation/gunter spoilers)
this is literally 'what if possessed!gunter had the idea corrin could ressurect his kids + a chapter or two to coldly & desperately try to force corrin/(you) to bring them back' as-a-gacha-oc.
i get a lot of mileage out of possessed!gunter maybe a little too much but this is a perfect, devastatingly heart-eviscerating angle. ooughhh.
#i was this close to dropping feh and then they had to drop this absolute banger of a book ...#8>3>4>5 are my favorites so far while politely ignoring the rest#(5 is mostly eitri. who is 300% evil!Me. feral gun riding mini gremlin villain. hell yeah.)#feh

Young adult dystopian/horror novel
A trans boy on the run from an eco-fascist Christian cult that decimated the population by releasing a deadly virus is rescued by group of teens from a local LGBTQ+ center and agrees to help them take down the cult–but he's hiding the secret that he's slowly being transformed into a monster via the bioweapon the cult infect him with
Compelling, intense, and gorey
Explores religious trauma & trans/queer rage
Gay, trans main character; gay, autistic love interest; various queer side characters
#BIBLICALLY ACCURATE ANGEL DISEASE IS SUCH A BANGER OF A CONCEPT#this book is very gross and intense and full of body horror and is also so good#absolutely sucked me in from the start#also the teenagers FEEL like actual teenagers even in the apocalypse which i really liked?#also the nuance that trans identity and neurodivergence was written with just showed a lot of care and authenticity#super excited for the author's victorian spiritualists novel hell yeah#okay wait there were two things i didn't quite get#the first is the benji has control over the graces and that makes him special but also they CAN follow other's orders?#and the second is *spoiler* i just didn't think it was realistic that he didn't realize nick was a former angel#like it's not THAT big of a group and he was in the same squadron as theo?#otherwise a fantastic read those were just two slightly confusing/weaker things#hell followed with us#andrew joseph white#lulu reads hell followed with us#books#lulu speaks#lulu reads#2023 reads

I’m exhausted today but the only reason I’m exhausted today is because I was up until 3am last night, lounging on a velvet chaise, reading a four-hundred page book on eighteenth century British naval disasters to my wife.
The lesbian agenda is exacting.
#it was david grann's new book on the wager disaster if you must know#finished it in one sitting#an absolute banger#wife tag

"... now I knew while my body sat safe in the cheerful little church, he had been hunting my soul in the Court of the Dragon ...
I raised my seared eyes to the fathomless glare, and I saw the black stars hanging in the heavens: and the wet winds from the lake of Hali chilled my face...
And now, far away, over leagues of tossing cloud-waves, I saw the moon dripping with spray; and beyond, the towers of Carcosa rose behind the moon...
Death and the awful abode of lost souls ... had changed him for every other eye but mine. And now I heard his voice, rising, swelling, thundering through the flaring light, and as I fell, the radiance increasing, increasing, poured over me in waves of flame. Then I sank into the depths, and I heard the King in Yellow whispering to my soul: 'It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God!'"
- In the Court of the Dragon, The King in Yellow
#absolute banger of an ending passage#again. i love books where the sentences just refuse to end#mine#the king in yellow#king in yellow

So we've seen Crowley hiding goats against Hell's direct orders so they could live.
And we've seen Crowley yelling at people for feeding bread to ducks bc it's bad for them and that they should be given frozen peas instead.
I'm not saying that Crowley would adopt every stray animal he sees BUT—
#Guys. I don't care if this gets 0 notes this is an absolute banger to me. It's midnight so it's big brain time#If Crowley and Aziraphale lived together he'd constantly go to him with Aziraphale already knowing what's going on#And Crowley puts on his best puppy eyes holds whatever animal he has found THIS TIME up to show Zira just how cute it is & goes 'Pleaaase?'#And we all know Aziraphale. He can't say no to him. He just draws the line at the animals messing with his books#Good Omens#I'm still healing from the finale and imagining this makes me so happy :')#Crowley#Anthony J. Crowley#Good Omens Season 2#Good Omens S2#Good Omens Spoilers#Good Omens Season 2 Spoilers#Good Omens S2 Spoilers#All these tags jfc#My posts
