My Opinions/Reviews on Saphic Books:

- Bright Falls Trilogy

- All of them are cute and heartwarming and giggle worthy and shit

- It's cool seeing each of the friend groups POVs and they're all pretty relatable in my opinion

- Pretty good representation of various family relationships especially with mothers

- the various relationships are actually really well written but the stories are still very much focused on the romance, they're not sidelined persey but they're not the main focus of that's what your looking for it's very much about the couple

- I like the variety in body types through the series, there's different heights, weights, yada yada and it's nice to see and they're all appreciated

- There aren't any POC MCs but there are side characters, also lots of gender and lgbtqia+ identity representation NB characters, ace characters, lots of queer couples, I think there may be a polycule mentioned but I'm not entirely sure

- Smut? Yes there is, how much varies between book but I'd argue there's more every book with Iris's book having the most; Id also argue it gets intenser as the series continues but it's all pretty mid (not in the it's bad writing way in the I've read far worse but I've also read some relatively pg 13)

DELILAH GREEN

- I love Delilah sm she can fucking step on me and Id ask her to do it again

- It's a sorta an asshole to everyone but you between her and Claire but not in the typical way? Like it's there but it's not written the way a lot of that trope usually is, idk I just really like how these books are written I think the author does a fantastic job

- Delilah seeing Claire for who she is and like just how much emotion she has is just yes, and also Claire seeing Delilah as like a sweet person and not just an asshole is nice too

- Because I know it bothers some people, Claire is a mother and the kid is talked about, I don't mind parent tropes but ik some people just don't enjoy reading them, I thought Ruby was sweet though and Claire seeing how Delilah interacts with her is also really cute

- Delilah also providing that safe and comforting space for artwork for Ruby is also really sweet and seeing Delilah kinda give Ruby what she herself didn't have is wholesome ASF and Claire just appreciates it and shit idk it's cute

- Hating On The Straight White Man TM (because he is gross to Astrid)

- Delilah is a photographer and Claire runs a bookstore

ASTRID PARKER

- It's cool getting to see Astrid's POV compared to how Delilah (her sister) views her

- Mommy Issues TM and in my opinion it catches some of the subtleties of growing up with a toxic parent really well

- Jordans ex comes along so warning for that, ok some people don't really like that

- Also handles like not missing your ex but feeling like YOU failed because the relationship failed

- again the subtleties of so much is just so well written

- Jordan is very stereotypical lesbian and I'm here for it

- her truck is named adora, her cat is named catra (if I'm remembering correctly), she wears random button ups, got that half saved short hair going (funnily enough I myself had both Astrid and Jordans haircuts at various points in my life lmao), she's a carpenter sorta, she's got an attitude, is into taro, like I love her sm 😂 she's so me fr 😭

- enemies to lovers

- Astrid's a bitch and Jordan pretends not to be into it

- they fuck in a pantry

- it's funny

IRIS KELLY

- iris doesn't do kids and marriages and her more or less traditional family is giving her shit for it

- Stevie has anxiety and handles it the same way I handle mine so that was relatable

- handles the shit that goes along with having anxiety really well so props to the author once again

- fake dating tm

- They're basically giving each other 'classes' because they think they're bad at things; but in reality it's just them being comfortable with stuff they're actually pretty good at; Stevie helps Iris be more comfortable with everyday romance and Iris helps Stevie be more comfortable with adult fun time intimacy outside of committed long term relationships

- but at the same time in queer Shakespeare and it's beautiful

- Home Field Advantage

- will add later

- The Song of the Huntress

- Just bought it and haven't read it yet

- The Priory of the Orange Tree

- Just bought it haven't read it

- Late Bloomer

- a few chapters in

- th author notes are funny and enjoyable

- good representation of things like people pleasing, autism, trust issues due to family trauma, bad relationships that you stay in for the comfort, toxic friends

- They're some pretty heavy themes but their handled in an easy to swallow way

- while these are very present themes the main focus is still the romance, but they're handled a bit more in depth than say the Bright Falls Trilogy

I just know that through all her years with the Court and then seeing Sabran try to fistfight Fýredel, Ead has wondered if they put dumb garlic in the food and that's what makes the people in Inys so fucking stupid

The Orange by Wendy Cope

I've been reading The Priory of the Orange Tree and oh man it's so good

It took a little while for me to get proper into it, but I just got to the bit where Ead is called back to the Priory and asks to delay, and oh man. I am riveted! I'm genuinely quite compelled by all four plotlines and narrators.

Also, I went into this book knowing very little aside from the fact that there was some form of lesbian romance, so after the first couple chapters, I was vaguely expecting that Tané and Ead, as the female leads would meet somehow. But now I'm pretty sure the romance is gonna be between Ead and Queen Sabran?? Which, wow. Consider me compelled. I see the tension and the attachment and I am enjoying it.

I think I'm gonna give it like a week so people have time to let me know what they want to see in the tournament before we start. Comment here or on my previous post to let me know anything you want to see. I'm so excited! Make sure to comment books even if they're tagged to make sure they make it.

screaming at the top of my lungs TANÉ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ok that’s all

[mylittlenookcorner]

Just a little ramble but I had a bit of a rough week at work that felt never ending so I spent my whole Saturday decompressing & reading some silly little books.

Took a pause from Priory of the Orange Tree, gave Ead, Sabran and Tané a breather and started a little romance book. Not usually what I go for, I’m more into fantasy & dystopia sci-fi and whatnot and I read through that silly little romance book in a day because it was that good.

wlw books are top tier I don’t make the rules

Also, is it weird that I really wanted to stroke or lick the trees in that movie? Not weirdly...

C'mon! You all know they looked conspicuously like cotton candy!

they should make meds you don't have to taste and showers you don't have to stand up for and lights that turn off on their own and a bed that makes itself and laundry that is always clean and water that you don't have to get and food that's always ready and they should make a body that takes care of itself

Update #3 on rereading Priory: I'm 3/4 the way through and boy, it's a slog? Even though it's supposed to be (close to) the climax?

I saw someone else's post the other day about how much better Samantha Shannon has gotten with A Day of Fallen Night and they were right. At this point in Fallen Night, I didn't put the book down. I suspect it's because Shannon is getting much better at making each of the narrator's characters and stories interesting. Like I've said previously, the only characters I remember (before rereading) from Priory was Ead and Sabran and now I know why those are the only characters I remember. I didn't care for the others' stories. It was just...lacking.
