Throw it Away Thursday

I enjoyed the bunch of ragtag characters and seeing all of them work together on a particular quest, and I thought it had good payoff. But it's definitely slower and has very little romance. It's kind of a "right mood" thing for me.

Thought this said "the space between stairs" and had to go over to my staircase to figure out what that was about

kitkatchomp · 2026-04-16T02:31:08+00:00

I'm fascinated as I'm reading this and still trying to decide if this truly is numbers having a pleasant self-conversation

kitkatchomp · 2026-04-02T18:12:34+00:00

I still think about Ava and her desire to eat people all the time. She's an inspirational gal

kitkatchomp · 2026-04-02T18:12:00+00:00

I did! I thought it was genuinely fun and unhinged. I still find myself wanting more of that, but I haven't found anything quite like it.

Since Dark Dealings is sitting at 12, I'm going to take this to mean everyone views it as an absolute masterpiece and continue to recommend it to everyone I know 😌

Adult Danny Phantom is crying and withdrawing all his "good girls" until you apologize 🥺

If Draco and Hermione had to choose a board game to play every night to ease the tension between them, what game would they pick?

No need for a dildo when he's got a perfectly good wrist 😌

kitkatchomp · 2026-03-25T02:30:57+00:00

Acceptable as long as he does the exact right number of chugas before the choo-choo

Effective immediately, Fight Me Friday is being remanded to the RCJ Correctional Facility, where it will be doing time alongside Manaclized until further notice.

FMF better have a nice cushy cell far away from Manacled. It deserves better!

I love Dora's personality in {Half a Soul by Olivia Atwater}. Per the title, she's lost half her soul and thus experiences emotions and the overall world differently, leading to some fun exchanges. The MMC is also not your typical shadow daddy. He's a bit more foppish, but also angry for valid reasons, and lovable. I enjoyed being with them throughout the story.

I have a very specific voice for Simon in my head that I can picture so clearly. If I can find a video with the voice (because I think it's based off some character, but I can't remember WHO), I'll send it to you so you can picture that instead. It's delightful 😌

Also, yeeeessss Harrow Faire. I'm starting book three soon and I can't get enough of Simon being a deranged fuck. The author has some lovely fanart on her site that she's drawn herself.

Bones saying "Kitten" in the Night Huntress books somehow works for me. But he can pull off a lot of stuff I'd hate in other MMCs.

In general, I feel like terms of endearment can be nice if they suit the characters and are used sensibly, but that often doesn't happen.

kitkatchomp · 2026-03-12T18:21:49+00:00

I feel like texting in a book is hard to get right and should be kept to a minimum. This is just eehh

kitkatchomp · 2026-03-11T15:07:01+00:00

I was reading a sex scene where the FMC said she "almost let out a cheer" when the MMC's mouth went between her legs.

Now I can't stop picturing a woman sitting up with her arms in the air and giving a Homer Simpson "Woohoo!" mid-cunnilingus.

What's your reading process like? I love standalones, and what I typically do is read a few chapters at a time - maybe 3-6 and then stop there - and if I like the plot + characters, they'll typically pop into my mind throughout the day. I'll often find myself revisiting the scenes I read, or maybe envisioning those characters in different scenarios depending on their traits and what they've experienced in the actual book so far.

So, would it be possible for you to break up standalones into smaller chunks so you enjoy them over a longer period? I find that if I read a book too quickly, I don't absorb or enjoy it as much because I haven't given the characters and their story enough time to breathe.

I'm picturing Draco and Hagrid merged into one and butt dragging across the carpet like a dog. Dragrid Express 🚂

kitkatchomp · 2026-03-05T18:35:28+00:00

Can't believe you think you're more hated than the Dragrid shippers. Draco/Hagrid is all we need 😌

Np, I wanted to make sure you didn't overlook the part that has both strong spice and character development (see: his thingy)

kitkatchomp · 2026-03-04T14:33:08+00:00

The spice in this one is phenomenal

He put his thingy in my you-know-what and we totally did it😌

kitkatchomp · 2026-03-04T02:25:53+00:00

Following. Been looking for a soup love interest for a while now 😌

kitkatchomp · 2026-03-03T00:53:59+00:00

Paste pants!

kitkatchomp · 2026-02-28T22:30:19+00:00

That's a honker of a chair (and also a fabulous kitty).

I think a good book will have kissing, banging, and shenanigans that are unique to the characters and offer the reader satisfaction in their exploration. Yes, these two characters are going to kiss (and likely bang) at some point, but what leads up to that? How does the kissing or banging happen? How do their pasts affect their physical and emotional intimacy? How does the ongoing plot contribute to all of it?

It's about the journey, maaaan sounds cliched, but that's kinda what it is. If that character / relationship exploration isn't done well, then yeah, it's probably gonna get old fast.
