iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Honestly, once you’ve survived Haunting Adeline, no other book can hurt you. Even this mediocre ass book I’m reading is enthralling by comparison.

Absolutely love in fantasy when an author needs to make the character names unique enough to feel otherworldly so they change a letter or two in an otherwise ordinary name. Tonight’s example? Vessica

My earlier assessment was correct, and while it isn’t egregious, the writing in this book is, unfortunately, kinda cringe.

I don’t understand why authors insist on their protagonists establishing early on that they aren’t beautiful or pretty or conventionally attractive. Like are readers supposed to say “damn another uggo like me” ??

Devastatingly, I wanted to love this book so bad, and while it was an overall enjoyable and easy read, it simultaneously fell SO flat.

You can say a lot about Aveyard’s safe, formulaic writing, but goddamn does that woman know how to write a third act.

It’s always interesting to me how Christianity survives even in dystopian novels with no other mention of faith or belief. Something as simple as “Jesus fuck”, so obviously a continuity error in the established world, but often overlooked in edits because it’s…so pervasive in western vernacular?

Let me preface this by saying I LOVE my local Indian spot, like I LOVE them. I talk about them all the time. They were my first ever Indian cuisine experience, and u have ordered from them ever since. I get the same items, the same way. They are my Uber Eats #1. I LOVE MY LOCAL INDIAN RESTAURANT—but

Maybe I’m just a hater but your book really doesn’t need 3+ POVs. Two is barely tolerable.

Was early for a dinner date so I stopped by the bookstore, but I spent so long browsing that I was suddenly 30 minutes late and panic bought the 4 books next to the book I meant to buy.

Bookshelves at the bookstore filled with an assortment of books, presumably all romance since that’s the section I was browsing. I took this picture because I didn’t have time to look through all the titles, and I PANICKED. ALL CAPS.

More books I didn’t get to look through on the kind of shelves that feel like a lived in home library versus a cold bookstore. This bookstore felt really lived-in, y’now? Like the kind of bookstore from the movie You’ve Got Mail. Everywhere you turn there are more piles of books. Paperbacks, hardcovers all mixed in. I don’t even think they were alphabetized, which I kind of like. This is the kind of bookstore that asks that you keep an open mind when you enter. Pure whimsy.

My book haul of three hardbacks, 2 paperbacks. I got the sequel to the book I’m currently reading. The sequel is called Broken Dove by Dani Francis.

There’s also Blood Rains Down by HM Wolfe, White Horse Black Nights by Evie Marceau, In the Veins of the Drowning by Kalie Cassidy, and Trial of the Gods by JL Jackola. I’ve never heard of any of the last four books. I just grabbed them because they were near the sequel I wanted and I had to GO. I was late to a dinner date. Could I have invited the guy into the bookstore? Sure. It was next to the restaurant. And he would have bought my books. Ugh, a missed opportunity, I suppose, but also, a man standing next to me while I’m StoryGraph searching every single title is giving, “Why would a man be there?”

I don’t care about the corny repetitive phrases or the plethora of inconsistencies. I’m a simple girl, and this is going to do it for me every time.

“You’re pure smoke” is how they say a girl is hot, and every time I read it, I laugh a lot and die a little inside

In Silver Elite, sex is called “screwing”, and it’s the only way they’ll describe it.

Inky @inkypens.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

It has strong echoes of the Red Queen series, and I can excuse its predictability given that I’m generally good at plot forecasting, but so far, it’s actually not so bad!

In the history of fandom, no hater has ever been reformed by a weekly round of a viral plea to be kind to authors. Writers, you are responsible for protecting your peace. If you come to this place insecure and seeking, you will find vultures. Anon69 isn’t losing sleep and neither should you.
