“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

Thoughts on Luke? just curious, i love all your pjo stuff and i saw that you like thaluke so 👀
(resisting the urge to say "no one gets him like I do") to be completely honest barring that one thing luke is probably the best written original character in the entire percy jackson franchise
#clearly understood motivations ✅ greek tragedy ✅ inner turmoil and grief ✅ bad bitch factor ✅ drives the story forward ✅#makes hard choices ✅ represents themes of the narrative ✅ has intense relationships with others ✅ isn't written to be likable ✅#narrative recognizes that he treats others badly ✅ doesn't overstay his welcome in the franchise ✅ has his own internal logic ✅#makes BAD choices ✅ character arc ✅ has agency in his morally unsound decisions ✅ has personality ✅#takes a strong stance on issues presented in the text ✅ faces consequences for his actions ✅ has a strong impact on other characters ✅ etc#note that these are about luke himself and not anything else i.e. not a commentary on the narrative as a whole#like if we can just ignore the absolutely bizarre annabeth stuff that came up in the end then I don't actually have much to critique about#luke. which is a rarity because I have shit to say about how rick has written basically everyone else lol#I will say that while luke has some banger lines I don't care for some of his dialogue between tlt and tlo#like sometimes it reaches cartoonish villainy even for a kids book which makes it harder to take him seriously lol#pls don't read this and be one of those “so you CONDONE the villain's actions???” people. like come on#luke castellan#pjo hoo toa tsats#rick riordan#percy jackson#rr crit#<- tagging for the comment about his dialogue just to be safe I guess

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+

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
