Neurodivergent reading = experiencing emotions with such intensity I need to pause for recovery like I ran a marathon. It’s why second chance romance is hard for me to read sometimes 😩🤚🏼

to be loved is to be seen… this was a wonderful read. more than just a romance—it encapsulates the journey of grief, self-discovery, and healing. tw: eating disorder + coversations surrounding the death of a best friend

I’m on book 5 of the series rn. This series has a chokehold on me I can’t stop binging oh my god I started simply because I wanted a short read (< 300 pages) and now I can’t stop All books end on a cliffhanger but book 4 hurt so bad 😭 Fated mates RH PNR fantasy series!

sometimes i second guess myself and make a lot of self-deprecating jokes and then comments like this reminded me that for my channel, it’s not always about the content, it’s about what i can bring to my community 😭🥰 super grateful 😭

a screenshot from twitch chat that says: i’m not gonna dump a bunch of stuff here, this week has been a horrible week and the amount i’ve laughed at your stream tonight has more than helped all of it lol, thanks for the good vibes!

spent most of my day today rereading one of my favourite books on quiet love, this time on a physical copy, so i was also annotating. idk how to describe the lil chest pains i get when i feel the pain and insecurities the characters feel, but i felt so much more of that this time around.

From 23/12/23-4/1/24, I finally finished Heir of Fire tonight. I had to stop some time after Christmas because my friend spoiled the emotional aspect of the book. Took me a while to get over it. I’m ready to read The Assassin’s Blade, the prequel to the series.

Oh trust that I’m doing my best to avoid it on BookTok 😂😂

Oh I have not read that yet!! Saving them for my 2024 reads.

Faaaaacts!! Plus I feel like his thinning patience and behaviour was justified but I’m biased 👻

SF was gooooood. I agree about Nesta. The groundwork Maas laid down for her character development was just *chefs kiss* and I adore her story. It’s just a shame it took her a while to rebuild her relationship with her blood sisters. She just related more with her found sisters.

Melinya 🇲🇾 ADHD & Gaming @melinya.bsky.social · 21/12/2023

Ah that’s fair. Yea I disagreed with BookTok’s rec in this universe to read TOG after ACOTAR because of the differences in premise and plot. I would have read other similar fantasies to ride out the hangover before TOG or contemporary romance as a palate cleanser.

Melinya 🇲🇾 ADHD & Gaming @melinya.bsky.social · 21/12/2023

Haiiiii! What was your struggle with TOG? What’s your favourite ACOTAR book?? I find it to be pretty easy to read despite it being 3rd pov. I prefer 1st pov but have no problem reading till ch 20 so far. I’m trying to read TOG full series then CC in time for CC3 coming out end of next month!

Melinya 🇲🇾 ADHD & Gaming @melinya.bsky.social · 20/12/2023

I thought I’d mention it. The series also comes with a prequel, though for a more emotional impact it is suggested that you read it as the 4th book, which is what I’m doing now.

Melinya 🇲🇾 ADHD & Gaming @melinya.bsky.social · 20/12/2023

When you do decide to get the ebook version and it happens to be Kindle, it is suggested that you get the 8-in-1 deal. Reason being some folks suggest tandem reading for 2 of the books in the series. I’m not sure how it’s easier when you get all 8 books as I can’t find the tiktok anymore but-

Hi! It well into the evening here, almost 6pm. Ha. It’s mostly an action-packed fantasy with romance as a secondary plot. I’ve learnt that it’s Sarah’s first series, though overshadowed by her most popular romantasy series- A Court of Thorns and Roses. I’m thoroughly enjoying TOG so far!

In the midst of chaos, it’s nice to slow down a little. Starting the “Throne of Glass” series by Sarah J Maas while enjoying my favourite combination of matcha-espresso latte! Ngl I’m intimidated with the fact that it’s an 8-book series!

Current read! Book #28 in 2023. I started a little bookclub with a friend since August and it has been my favourite thing ever. It’s made such a difference in my life when it comes to my mental health. Just a handful of days left in 2023 and I can’t wait to read 50 books in 2024!!
