Our Violent Ends is such a good book. i love the symbolism of juliette’s hands literally being stained with blood when roma finds out about the life she spared

[alintalzin]

I just finished reading Immortal Longings and the sequel, and it was so good!

hunger games fans you’re going to love immortal longings by chloe gong. it’s a fusion with shakespeare’s anthony and cleopatra where the characters can jump into other bodies based on chi and they get a chance to compete in a fight to the death around their city for money while their king hoards wealth. it’s adult fantasy by the same author who wrote these violent delights

Reading the book is not enough. I need to eat it.

i think my body is falling in pieces i think my blood is passing me by

being in a small fandom means there aren't that many active accounts posting, and the ones that are active regularly reblog each other's stuff to the point that it's normal to see their urls on my dashboard only to find out under the suggested profiles section that i was never actually following them in the first place

[aphroditesmoon]

to the people who follow me for my book content, these are some authors that i no longer support:

pierce brown: one of the earliest authors to share the "i stand with israel" posts. (I guess rebellions are only cool for plot points. I loved red rising but ive always found it to be a whitewashed version of the hunger games, and b4 u go "but hunger games characters r white too!!" No theyre not. Katniss was supposed to have darker skin. The movie franchise whitewashed her.)

sarah j maas: has made it clear that her grandmother was in the IDF and is proud of her israeli heritage. I liked her when i was like 14. I grew to realise just how much queerbaiting and subtle racism there is in her books.

victoria aveyard: i loved her for a very long time, red queen was the series that pulled me back into reading and she have been one of my biggest inspiration in being a writer, but she had made a statement of standing in neutrality, and she have made a tiktok of her Starbucks order while everyone is trying to boycott starbucks for their donation to israel. I hope her words and actions are only of ignorance and that she'll learn to do better soon. but until then, I've completely lost my respect for her.

•••••••••••••••

IN RETURN: HERE ARE SOME AUTHORS WHO HAVE BEEN SUPPORTING AND DONATING TO PALESTINE AND WRITE AMAZING BOOKS:

- Rebecca F. Kuang: The poppy war trilogy, yellowface, Babel.

- Olivie Blake: The atlas six trilogy, One for my enemy, Alone with you in the ether, Masters of death.

- VE Schwab: A darker shade of magic series, The invisible life of Addie Larue, This savage song (monsters of verity) duology.

- Chloe Gong: These violent delights duology.

- Faridah abike iyimide: Ace of Spades.

- Leigh Bardugo: The grishaverse, Ninth house.

- Tracy Deonn: Legendborn series.

- Xiran Jay Zhao: Iron widow series.

happy 2025! to start with year with mystery, here's two of my secret pinterest boards for secret projects: some in progress, some only for me; some utterly new, some linked to what exists.

I've noticed a pattern here

[alexdobedumb]

chloe gong was so right for having a protagonist who was so riddled with guilt and shame and then have her learn that she can be forgiven and she cannot take care of everything and i love love love rosalind lang

[writergracethepanda]

One of my favorite things about Roma is that he simultaneously completely expects BenMars to happen and is also completely shock when Benedikt comes out to him.

[vivievienne]

guys, is there any these violent delights fans!???

[arqbella]

for you forgetful sss fans [ me ]

[marsneedstherapy]

something about a duology where the first book is very clearly structured and organized, and the second book is just a lot more unhinged and chaotic, just EATS for me

[juliette-cai-enthusiast]

This is how I feel whenever I’m reading a new Chloe Gong book

Chloe Gong, stepping up to the microphone: I have written a man

The Secret Shanghai fandom, waiting with bated breath:

Chloe Gong: And he is pathetic

The Secret Shanghai fandom: *raucous cheers*
