Ew What Is This New App Icon I Want The Old One Back

350 pages worth of soul destroying jean content and the fandom is instead choosing to focus on andrew's cheese drawer. love it

not even halfway into The Raven King but Andrew has completely stolen my heart

why do i keep falling for broken fictional men

Thinking about Jean makes me want to cry but his dialogue never fails to make me laugh

terms that jean uses for neil in the sunshine court:

tiny bastard

tedious malcontent

abominable cockroach

wayward child

rabid little Fox

wretched little runaway

ignorant child

miserable wretch

I had a great day today but don't have anyone to tell so I'm just putting it out there

just finished the raven boys and gosh that was good. lost count of how many times my heart broke for the characters, especially adam. need the next book asap

dear algorithm, no spoilers please

when i was in primary school, i'd play "library" with the books i had at home

now i'm a senior in high school helping out in the school library during my lunch periods

the destiny has been fulfilled and i'm having a blast

it's my birthday and my dad surprised me with a GORGEOUS book nook that he spent 20 hours building in secret.. so touched and I wish I was tiny so that I could abandon society and go live in the book nook (it's an antique cozy library)

currently reading Dark Heir and gosh I love James the tension is insane.. probably not prepared for the rest of this book

Perfect summary of why I adore this book

Does anyone else just sit and think about the fact that Six of Crows is literally the perfect book?

Like, we have a morally grey character who's actually morally grey and has a real reason to push people away other than "once I killed someone in self defense, so I'm a terrible person and we can't be together." And every other character has a super fleshed out backstory as well, including real world problems that don't usually get talked about in fantasy books.

There's just as heavy an emphasis on platonic love as romantic love, instead of "I can fix him", it's "he can fix himself", there's a gay couple that's actually happy and not suffering every five pages, and all of the gay characters have personality traits outside of the fact that they're gay.

And speaking of the romance, it's so not rushed or sexualized. No one even kisses in the first book, but it's still so obvious how much they love each other. Each couple has such a different dynamic, and the way their pasts mirror each other? Perfection. (I also firmly believe that Kanej is the best couple in all of YA prove me wrong)

And then the diversity??? 3/7 of the lead characters are POCs, 4/7 are queer, 3 have disabilities, 2 have addictions, 2 have PTSD, 2 are religious, one was raised in a cult, and it's not one of those books that has diverse characters just for the sake of being diverse!

The plot is so unique, especially among fantasy books, and despite the fact that there's so many moving parts, there is not a single plot hole. And the CK auction scene will forever be one of the best end of series climaxes I have ever read.

So basically I don't get why other authors even try anymore cause I'm sorry but no matter how great their books are, it's not going to be Six of Crows.

The thing about me is that I desperately want to be Andrew Minyard ( cool and collected , a little dangerous and kinda mysterious, no one really knows what his deal is ) but I'm really Neil Josten ( wet little meow meow, a little paranoid, a little clueless about social interaction, makes a deer in the headlights face when someone says something nice to me , immediately giving out all my secrets for the sake of drama and chaos ) and I have to accept that
