of course i can explain but i’m sorry it may have sounded more mysterious than it truly is, it’s just that reading the MMC’s pov gushing so passionately and sometimes rawly about the FMC, how beautiful her stretch marks are, how shiny her smile is, how incredibly witty remarks she comes up with….. i mean my mind can’t help but wonder if somebody’s ever gonna think all that about me you know?? didn’t wanna bring the mood of our convo down so sorry about that

i loved ACOTAR too!!! i spent so much money on the last book just because i didn’t wanna wait until they translated it too my mother tongue and i just needed cassian and nesta’s smut in order to get some bits of dopamine hahaha i can’t wait for azriel’s story 🥹 but i’ll take your word for it (i mean there was even hair pulling involved!!!) and stop on the first book, the second will just embellish my shelf until i sell it somewhere. i had a similar relationship with the red queen series which i did not finish, i got to book 3 just because i felt i had invested too much time and money not to finish but the FMC is too fucking unbearable

about book lovers please ask!!! i have so much to say and no one to say it to hahaha but i guess most of my disappointment was the hype around it (i hate you booktok). i will say though that i’ll enter the next emily henry book i read with a different mindset after something i saw on reddit, and it was that she doesn’t right romance, but rather women’s fiction with romance sprinkled on it - still, she is an awe-inspiring writer

you do make a lot of sense!!!! i have the same relationship with a couple authors so i feel you and i will give her books a try and come back to you with my thoughts

I'm so sorry for the late reply! After I have recommended some Tessa Bailey books and then talked to you about Tessa Bailey, I'm in my Tessa Bailey mood now and so I reread It Happened One Summer and I'm onto Hook, Line and Sinker. I really have a weird relationship with her books xD I will start Book Lovers right after so we can discuss it :D

Oh, "Can’t help but wonder if somebody’s ever gonna think all that about me" you literally described what I feel each time I read these books. I completely understand you and in no way did you bring down the mood. To be fair, regardless of the FMC or MC's pov, I always feel like that. Will anyone ever think/feel like that about me? Will I ever think/feel like that about someone? Like for me it goes both ways. I'm a very cold person, I'd say emotionally underdeveloped, having a lack of emotional intelligence, if that makes sense, so I live through romance books xD

I know what you mean. I was dying for Cassian and Nesta. Like, ah, give it me!!! I actually read the ebook for A Court of Silver Flames because they always release that stupid hardback first and I have the series in paperback. But as soon as they released the paperback, I ran! I also have the series both in Hungarian and English. I haven't started reading in Hungarian though. That's my mother tongue, but I haven't read in Hungarian since 2012 and it feels so off when I see that it's not English, especially as some of the words and expressions get lost in translation. What is your mother tongue by the way? If you don't mind me asking. (Also, the Hungarian cover is freaking stunning!)

About Azriel, I can tell you I'll be swooning over that book like a freaking maniac!!! Like a MANIAC! I'm a Gwynriel fan though, who do you prefer for Az? It's such a controversial subject, I love going to these tumblr posts. Except when they go too far.

Honestly, the Throne of Glass series is a tricky one. Many people I know loved it, but many who I know couldn't stand it. I think it's good to read it so you can judge it fairly, but at the same time, if you don't like it at all, why suffer through it. (In my case I can't DNF anything, so I have no say in that matter xD)

Oh no, oh no, oh no no no, the Red Queen is on my TBR this year! First Book Lovers, now Red Queen, I'm becoming more and more sceptical by the day xD You made me confused though! What do you mean by Emily Henry writes "Women’s fiction with romance sprinkled on it". I think that went over my head. I haven't read any Emily Henry books, so I have no comparison to make.
