The second I saw your post requesting people to rant about shitty books one came to my mind first. The last dragon slayer. Now, when I had to read this in high school I was actually excited because for once I got to read a book with an interesting premise. Oh how wrong I was. The pacing in this book was so god awful that it was genuinely hard to keep track of what was going on. As cool was the world was, any information about it or magic was delivered in a way that’s reminiscent of dry textbooks. Never has a book disappointed me quite like that one did (and there’s even 3 more after it). Thank you for allowing me to rant about that hot garbage, I hope you have a great day :)
Your description of this book is similar to how I'm currently feeling as I slog my way through Fourth Wing. Especially with how the worldbuilding is delivered. Just dumps it onto you with large blocks of text unrelated to the current scene.
Dragons are too cool to have such bad books written about them.
What in the 1990s is this
Hawke's job is so much more interesting than mine. It pays better too. Come watch me be jealous.
I have to say, Kirkwall seems like such a nice, respected, not-at-all-terrifying town.
Come join me for some Dragon Age fun!
i love narratives that are two fundamentally different experiences on the first and second read. stories you have to experience at least twice bc crucial information is withheld from you the first time
whats crazy to me is ppl saying all x reader is badly written when i've read several x reader fics that blow published books out of the water. like idk what ur reading man ... but to generalize like that is fucking wild
I absolutely love Next Top Model. I have seen every episode of it so many times that I can't even think of a decent hyperbole here. It's an obsession. And I will rewatch it all many more times...except for ANTM Cycle 3.
I can't watch c3 again. I tried. I can't do it.
The way that Yaya, Toccara, and Kelle are treated is just so abhorrent and heartbreaking. It physically hurts me to watch it. Especially poor Kelle.
They took this gorgeous girl and broke her down to the point that she couldn't look at herself in the mirror without crying.
I will watch All Stars every day for the rest of my life before I watch c3 again.
If you get a thousand likes in a row from me, I promise I am not obsessively going through your page liking every post I see.
It just means that I only follow like six people and you're the only one posting right now.
Also, if you don't like me liking all your posts, stop making such good fucking posts. Not my fault you're good at this.
Anyone else think Joe Hill might have a problem with women?
I just finished The Fireman, and I've been reading through the short stories in 20th Century Ghosts, and, uh....I don't think he likes women much.
I'm thinking of re-reading Heart Shaped Box next and see if the issue is as prevalent in that as I remember.
Also, I could rant for hours about all the problems I have with The Fireman. I might just do that soon. But thinking about that book too much makes me kind of mad, so I try to keep my mind on other things.
Messy bi who dresses like a four-year-old despite being in my 30s
