This set of chapters is where the book abruptly stops feeling The Hunger Games and starts feeling more like Beauty and the Beast, except if all the household appliances considered themselves superior beings. Chapter 6 Feyre arrives at her faerie captor’s estate. A lot of this chapter is describing how opulent it is. As are the following […]

Pop Quiz #5’s answers revealed: Question 1: What play is Kalona going to teach in drama class? Only 50% correctly guessed Medea! I love the 25% of people who guessed Tyler Perry’s Medea’s Witness Protection, which I did not know existed until I went down the rabbit hole and started Googling “Wait, how many Medea films are there?” There are so many! Medea is […]

House of Night (Hunted) Chapter 32: Darius returns and announces that the wall has fallen, but he had to kill a Raven Mocker in the process.

This book is finally over. I still have no idea who was being hunted. House of Night (Hunted): Chapter 33 The chapter kicks off with Sister Mary Angela saying “Language”, chewing out Zoey for ending the last chapter by saying “Well, hell.” This is a chapter break that made sense. “Priestess,” Darius addressed Sister Mary […]

Matthew and I have agreed we need to try doing four chapters instead of five next week. There is just TOO MUCH INFO HERE. Chapter 11 So can we all just agree it’s obviously not Feyre’s father outside her window? I don’t believe that Feyre’s cynical side wouldn’t have made her doubt it was him for even […]

Gonna be honest, I know last week we said this was the “good” book, but I wasn’t a huge fan of these five chapters. It’s certainly not bad, but I realized there was weirdly little of substance to summarize in these five chapters once I put the book down. I gotta love the commitment to […]

Before taking the “What If YOU Dated Christian Grey… Could You Handle It?” quiz, I thought the answer was an indisputable “no”, but the answer is far more complex than I ever could have imagined. The quiz opens with: He’s handsome, he’s wealthy, he knows his way around a cattle prod…Ahem. Sorry, sometimes we get carried […]

It’s hard for me not to talk about what happens later when I’m discussing a lot of these scenes, but I’m really trying to focus on the book at hand rather than discussing these events in light of what happens in A Court of Mist and Fury. That being said, I can’t resist some lines about the […]

The plot actually moves forward in this one! Mostly in a “hint hint lots of things are happening just not right here I KNOW IT IS SO MYSTERIOUS” kinda way, but still! To be fair, it’s not super noticeable since the focus of the book is mostly on the evolving relationship between Feyre and Tamlin, […]

We ended last chapter with Mia irritated with Maddy’s icky fiance, and we begin this one a very long description of a sexy man’s tattoos/sexy body. The man is being photographed by the guy who hired Mia: I stood stock-still where the limo driver had suggested when he parked and pointed at the tent on the beach. He […]

Yes, it is the middle of March. What better time to talk about what books we read in February? Universal Harvester by John Darnielle Why’d I Read This? John Darnielle is the songwriter of my favorite band, The Mountain Goats, and the author of Wolf in White Van, which was just absurdly heartbreaking and beautiful for a debut […]
