House of Night
actually going backwards in the book because im still not over how horrific this is
as my coworker said “why would u do ur body like that?”
do i even have the energy to talk about the myriad racist components to this “kramisha” character?
im honestly disgusted…
1) i was right
2) these kids all have stupid names
10 bucks says stevie rae and aphrodite just imprinted
IT’S ALREADY GROSS AND IT ONLY JUST STARTED
“you liiiike the pain, it brings you pleeeeaaaasure”
*gag gag gag*
alrighty im starting back on my liveblog of the House of Night series with book 5 Hunted
*cries inside*
End of the Year Book Tag!
Alright so Emily @ Embuhleeliest literally said: “If you’d like to do this tag, consider yourself tagged!” So this is me considering myself tagged! Let’s just jump right in.
Are there any books you started this year that you need to finish?
I had originally planned to finish the Sookie Stackhouse books by the end of the year as well, but I probably won’t because I’ve got so many other books I need to and I keep finding more. Also I’ve been reading Outlander for freaking months and I cannot finish it and I have no idea why!
Do you have an autumnal book to transition into the end of the year?
I mean…I don’t really read books seasonally? I always think it would be cool to do that, but I can’t just set aside other books in order to pick up seasonally appropriate books, that would be too much like self-control.
Is there a new release you’re still waiting for?
No not really. Or more accurately, there probably are, but I’m just not aware of when they drop. I’m so bad at keeping up with release dates… I’m always shocked when people are like “look my pre-order came!” and then I have to rush to block all the spoilers.
What are three books you want to read before the end of the year?
The aim is to get in one more dose of House of Night torture with Hunted, complete my Stephenie Meyer experiment with The Host, and hopefully I’ll get one more book to read this year through my discord groups Travelling Book Project.
Is there a book you think could still shock you and become your favorite book of the year?
I was going to say something sarcastic about a House of Night book becoming a favorite, but honestly just no, with what I’ve been looking at I don’t think my next favorite book is coming up this year.
Have you already started making reading plans for 2020?
I’m planning to finish the Sookie books (if I don’t break down and do it in December), obviously I’m going to reread my favorite series The Tales of the Kingdom by Cynthia Voigt (lol you thought I’d get through a whole post without mentioning them?)… Oh and I’m actually considering rereading Twilight on the premise that we’ve all been reading it wrongly (i.e. that it’s not really a grand romance, but an epic comedy).
I was going to tag a few specific people, but actually I’d rather leave this for everyone to do. So if you read this you’ve just been tagged; and let me know if you do it so I can read yours. 😊
