# about me !

who’s the sexy person behind the screen?

— hi i’m shan, 17, asian (taiwan), aquarius

why did you make this blog?

— for fun! i love talking to myself and i rlly don’t think (and HOPE) nobody finds this blog. it’s just for me to rant and talk about books and life and so on in a more organized manner. though i do pretend i have an audience when i know i don’t bc i’m hot. duh.

what books do you read?

— i love all genres but i can say i love fantasy and contemporary romance. i have phases where i only read one genre for a month and binge all the books i have saved for them

mid year book freak out tag !

1. best book you’ve read so far

i would have to go with the seven husbands of evelyn hugo OR the “bad love” series <333

2. best sequel you’ve read so far

i feel like so far i’ve only read standalones but i did love the wicked king by holly black

3. new release you want to read

i’ve been anticipating the legacy from elle kennedy bc i loved off campus & briar u

4. most anticipated release

again the legacy

5. biggest disappointment

neon gods, now the smut didn’t disappoint but i just didn’t connect with the story and i feel like it was smut based anyways (barely any plot) so it was okay

6. biggest surprise

how much i liked a court of silver flames (honestly even more than the original series...)

7. fav new author

this was a big year for me bc i only started reading again in april but def elle kennedy

8. newest fictional crush

knight from broken knight, cardan, and anyone from off campus LMAO specifically dean, cassian ofc

9. newest fav character

i loved cassian and nesta they’re my comfort ship BUT i absolutely fell in love with luna

10. book that made you cry

song of achilles and a thousand boy kisses

11. book that made you happy

people we meet on vacation, the cruel prince triology, and the unhoneymooners

12. most beautiful book

the song of achilles & on earth we’re briefly gorgeous

13. books you have to read by the end of the year

fantasy: hopefully i can binge the entire shadow hunter series...also an ember in the ashes, atlas six, the poppy war, the kingdom of back

romance: we can’t keep meeting like this, anything from colleen hoover, the beach read, josh and hazel’s guide to not dating, full tilt duet

other: the midnight library, malibu rising

omg you know what i’m thinking about...how rhys and feyre let down their mind shields for open communications bc #trust and #healthyrelationship. but like how are they not insecure about their thoughts i literally think about dick and like every single thing i see and i literally can’t form a sentence in my head i just go by the flow...like imagine someone being in your head and youre over here listening to idk lana del rey and creating a fake scenario in your head and the other person is just like. um. okay? LIKE?? i could never

this is a constant thought in the back of my brain but i genuinely feel like a narcissist sometimes?? idk if it’s bc people tell me that (as a joke) and i’m just like. well. bc i cant control how much i talk about myself bc sometimes idk what to say?? but then everytime i talk about myself i’m like...oh fuck what if i seem super self absorbed rn. but i also do feel such a deep need to defend myself sometimes where it’s like—okay just take it easy not everyone is after you

#—🍸 #—🪁

[lilshansies]

i feel like i have such uncontrollable anger sometimes? that might be an exaggeration but— i want to not be annoyed at things and i feel it building inside me and i’m just like. i cant stop being mad rn. like i’m literally mad about not eating what i want for dinner. i fucking hate dumplings sometimes so i’m like FUCK NO but also...it’s not a big deal. like it’s good go eat some spinach artichoke parmesan with chips to make up for it. there are other ways babe.

my june tbr + what i’ve read

why am i posting this on june 17.....anyways

i’ll be updating this when i finish the books <3

what i read:

# i reread the deal and the score bc i’m a sucker for the off campus series: my cooter is tingly *whispers* for white men <3

# neon gods — okay i love the smut and everything but i was absolutely not prepared for the setting??? like i was expecting greek mythology and like some fucking. EXHIBITIONISM?????? i fucking love it. but i was not prepared for greek mythology meets gossip girl like WHATTTT

# from blood and ash & a kingdom of flesh and fire — okay i have a post about this so read that. but i love hawke and poppy they’re cute!! i just think the books are long and sometimes i wanted to give up and then something would happen and i would be like oh damn this is good! but so much info dumping :( i also LOVE kieran muah!!!!!!!! <3333333

# the song of achilles — absolutely beautiful.

# the all saints high books — so fucking hot

# addicted 1-2 — okay i kind of got bored and didn’t find the plot that interesting but i’m willing to give it another try bc i’m also starting to annotate both physical and digital copies

# corrupt (devil’s night #1) — was not expecting to like a thriller/dark kind of romance but I’M OBSESSED

# a thousand boy kisses — cried the whole time like THE WHOLE TIME best fucking book ever tore my entire heart apart. so many good quotes i almost cried just THINKING about this book

# scandalous (sinners of saints #2) — all i have to say is #dilftingz and also i love that luna gets her own book bc that’s my fav of all time

# bad love series (3 books) — reread bad habit like sixteen million times i’m so obsessed with the angst and the tension + charleigh rose always has surprisingly fun tropes that spice up her plot

# on earth we’re briefly gorgeous — beautiful. stunning. amazing. def making a diff post for this book

# the unhoneymooners — new comfort read i wanna go back and annotate tf out of that book

# kingdom of the wicked — amazing first book i’m so hyped for the second

ya and new adult fantasy books i’ve read

frequent updates to this post bc i read like 16 books a day. mental illness <3

i’m also not a book reviewer or like professional anything. i’m just a reader who has opinions and needs to share them before i combust

disclaimer: i don’t care if you love or hate these books. opinions are sexy.

# acmof series — this shit is so nostalgic to me bc it was my first new adult fantasy series. but then i read it again and was like...there’s so many better books LMAO but no i like the series for fun indulgent reading & bc cassian and azriel are hot as fuck. tbh it’s rlly funny when people are like omg my feminist king rhysand bc sometimes i do feel like he overdid it but i’m not rlly gonna complain about respectful men. i do know that sarah lacks diversity in her books so once again this is like my light hearted self indulgent read that i refuse to defend.

# the cruel prince trilogy — i liked this. i like the fact that it’s not ALL romance and there’s some plot where it keeps you craving their interactions more. cardan is a sexy sexy man okay. i like jude’s character she’s not incredibly annoying and i do understand her inner struggle (not the part where my parents are killed and i live with the dude that killed them). also spoiler warning: i think about the moment jude finds her name written over and over again in his handwriting. i was SHIVERING. spoiler over. but yes romance is good and there was some interesting plot. def a good intro to fantasy series i think.

# red queen series — okay i’m really gonna expose myself here. i love the romance and even skimmed the last book just to read their interactions. HELP I HATE MYSELF but i never finished the series even though it’s one of my nostalgic reads. ngl i don’t remember much about this series but i love victoria aveyard and i’m working through realmbreaker

# six of crows duology — i’m pretty sure everyone who’s read this book is in love with it and talks about it everyday. because that’s me. this book is my favorite of ALL TIME i recommend it to everyone who wants to read bc it’s just the gateway drug. amazing plot, diversity, characters, like leigh bardugo is so fucking talented. i’m gonna stop myself before i ramble

# from blood and ash — i read this pretty recently. like a few days ago. i’m on the third book and honestly i have a few complaints. i feel like it’s a little longer than necessary and there’s A LOT of info dumps.

# percy jackson — god the nostalgia when i read this in like fifth grade. this was the culture reset nobody does it like rick riordan. honestly i need to reread his books but i’ve loved them forever <3

# the song of achilles — dude. i made a fucking playlist for these two. it was so beautifully written i cried (i also filmed me reading the last page LMAO) but this book is beautiful. i haven’t read a book like this before but i rlly want to!
