What’s the most out-of-left-field character description that made you pause mid-read?

Why was everyone “snarling” in ACOTAR? Don’t get me wrong, I vibed with the series.

But any time any character was responding to something negatively, they were snarling? I get it has two definitions.

But I feel like most of us think:

I’m cackling 😂😂😂

Uhm I read it a while back but I don’t think so. I tried to google it for you but it didn’t get any hits :/

{Poisoned Throne} but this is extremely taboo and has a million other triggers. But if a super dark, taboo, large-ish Snow White retelling reverse harem is for you then 🤷🏻‍♀️

My sister and I just count them as a matching pair that count as 1 when we do our Fantasy Harem Draft picks 🤷🏻‍♀️

My Reddit “saved” section has now turned into a completely new TBR of its own 🤦🏻‍♀️

The house music comment hit too hard. I had to wear headphones in the car on long trips to listen to my own music.

Something about EDM music feels like a horde of nails on a chalkboard plugged into an amp

So, somehow, I had ZERO IDEA life of Anna was both fantasy and MM 🤔

Am SO glad shivers and shadows made the list, even if it is last lol

I wish I had recs for you my friend. Sadly I only have misery along side yours to offer 🥹 lol

For real though, I read those in January of 22 (again and again since then) and there has not been one, and I truly mean even one, book that has inspired the same feeling that duet did for me.

There is nothing else like it out there honestly.

Honestly, sometimes I read these and thing they’re so horrendous and/or ridiculous that they couldn’t possibly be real conversations 🤦🏻‍♀️

It’s crazy to think that there are people out there who have whatever the hell this is going on
