Why does posting for a new fandom feel like walking into a bar and having everyone just stare at you. Like I'm sorry I'm new here pls don't hurt me

reasons why thomas cresswell is one of the best and most underrated book men

has the sorest, biggest sweet tooth and is not afraid to make it known

he's quite literally the most intelligent man alive

his deductions are too impressive (seriously how can he even do that like????)

audrey rose's simp

literally the biggest flirt alive

made and designed SEVERAL custom shoes and slippers that are practical and pretty for audrey rose because she missed wearing her slippers because of her injury

not to mention had a special dragon knob cane with a hidden blade inside made for audrey rose so that she'll always have a piece of him with her no matter where she is or if she's in danger (i need him so bad plss)

he is mischief personified

is a feminist

lets audrey rose be free and do whatever she pleases and is so supportive of whatever she does

never EVER thinks of audrey rose as less than just because she's a woman

is always making sure that audrey rose gives him her consent whenever they kiss and or do the deed

always making sure that audrey rose is comfortable

has the most amazing, badass, and hilarious older sister

is literally so patient

INTELLIGENT please his intelligence is so sexy

the biggest flirt EVER

outranks the wadsworths and their extended family yet you'd never even notice because he's so humble about it

"my love for you is a constant in a sea of variables."

2024 books - stalking jack the ripper by kerri maniscalco

"Those who deserve respect are given it freely. If one must demand such a thing, he’ll never truly command it. I’d rather be a lowly wretch on the streets than live in a house full of cages. Do not lecture me on propriety when it’s a virtue you so grossly lack."

[questionmarklive]

I'm such a slut for historical dramas following young couples who fall in love while doing the stuff society says they're not supposed to do

i need more, give me more

[vampireprose]

When I was adventuring between the pages of a book, I wasn't sad over things I was missing outside.

• Wildblood by A. J. Vrana (you could say Kai is toxic but he's also in therapy and heals a lot throughout)

• The Serpent and the Wings of Night by Carissa Broadbent

• Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros (ok this probably really doesn't need to be a rec but i have to add my boy Xaden)

more cutesy and mysterious than intriguing but so good:

• The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna

• The Ex Hex by Erin Sterling

My first post on here!! I read this book like a year ago and these were my thoughts on it. It's fairly spoiler free but if you want to be surprised by the book, ignore this. I've wanted to post book stuff on here for a while because I'm a gay opinionated bitch, obviously. I've finally gotten around to it. Without further adieu, enjoy!! Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo Date Started: 01/18/2024 Date Finished: 05/11/2024 Rating: 10/10 Additional Thoughts: Where do I even start? I took a couple days to fully form my opinion on this book. I had watched the Shadow and Bone Netflix series and that’s what initially drew my attention to the characters that make up the Crows. The book only furthered my enjoyment and love for these characters. The pacing of this book was perfect for me, it took the time on important and engaging events. The sprinkles of character lore were well placed and made sense, also holy shit! These kids have been through so much. Kaz and Inej’s lore is INSANE!! I love all the characters but Inej is my favorite. She’s so badass and layered, anyone who can make Kaz act like an idiot is going to be my favorite. The characters are younger in the book and there are moments when you are reminded of that. It’s usually hit and miss when authors try to write teenagers but they were very well written and not cringe at all. The heist part of this book was incredible, the plan constantly changing and reading the pov of each character was fantastic. Learning the plan as you read instead of being told the whole thing in a big block of dialogue kept me engaged in the story and hungry for the next chapter. Angst is something that is essential for me to enjoy a book and Kaz Brekker is angst personified, his angst makes sense and isn’t just thrown in. I felt so connected to the main characters of this book, they will forever live rent-free in my brain. I’m excited to start the sequel, the cliffhanger at the end was diabolical. I’ve talked about this book so much with my friends that I’ve got them hooked on it. I would 100% recommend this book to literally everyone I meet. I'm reading "Stalking Jack the Ripper" by Kerri Maniscalco currently, will post about that when I'm done. I HAVE started "Crooked Kingdom" but it's a slower read for some reason, but the same with the other book, will post about that when I get to it. Can't wait to shout into the void about books hehehehe!!

"I will love you until the world stops spinning or my heart ceases to beat, Thomas Cresswell. Even then I'm not sure my love will ever be content to leave you."

Capturing the Devil by Kerri Maniscalco

[shadowturtlesstuff]

Audrey rose spends most of the series questioning whether Thomas loves her and whether she loves him. But on page 11 of book 1 she literally describes him as: 'as if Leonardo da Vinci painted him himself.' Shes so obsessed with him in that classroom and he is so obsessed with her.

They are the definition of both fell first but she was in denial yet they both fell equally as hard

audrey rose you will forever be my fav diva 💜

Audrey Rose and Thomas are 100% spooky season vibes
