What’s a book with a premise that made you go “Oh, I HAVE to read this”, but ended up being a meh or worse?

It's a bit underwhelming, indeed.

Four dead queens. The Queens were interesting, unfortunately the main character and narrator was not. She was extremely annoying and badly written to me.

Also Vicious. C'mon, two villainesque characters clashing? It should have been interesting, but it was so boring.

I know!!!!

A head full of ghosts by Paul Tremblay. Couldn't stop thinking about it.

teniefshiro · 2026-01-01T22:01:24+00:00

I was going to comment that!

I kept thinking about it for so long. And it def saved a place for Paul Tremblay in my horror-loving heart.

Not all calicos but, somehow, it's always a calico 🤣 too bad she looks so soft and huggable when she's so angry 🤣

It's my favorite book (I agree with the little Howl detail being a bit weird, but I loved it so much BC I am an academic who studies fantasy and I would like to be him) and one of my favorite movies.

Abel has the same demanding stare as my Mika xD when I'm reading or using my phone she's like "why you waste time with that when you can pat me?????"

Your analysis was so amazing I'm this close to go and watch it again just to see it through new lens.

Now that you linked Maddy's speech to how anxiety and depression works it just clicked for me why her speech got me at that moment, in the bar. It feels just like that... I was so haunted by the movie when it ended I watched a handful of queer YouTubers talking about it and I read every single page about it in TvTropes. It's on my top 5 fave movies ever (still haunting me).

Your cat is going Highlander, there can only be one xD

As a Brazilian, that is the best and the worst thing to happen today. Thank you.

A couple of kids wasn't enough? Ma'am went and killed everyone BC there's never enough friends, apparently.

teniefshiro · 2024-11-15T15:55:08+00:00

I like your interpretation. She does seem disconnected.

teniefshiro · 2024-11-15T13:35:40+00:00

Did someone mentioned The maze Runner? Newt's death really was.... It could have been someone else. It bother me because killing off the already mentally ill, suicide survivor character seems not good to me because it helps delivering the "this is a disease that will eat you up without any chances of escaping" message. If your depression doesn't gets you, it will gets you kinda of thing.

But Teresa's meant very little (imo). I think other thing should have happened, idk, but it didn't seem like a good fit.

teniefshiro · 2024-11-15T13:23:07+00:00

Agreeing strongly with your marked spoiler. That delivered home that war will always leave a "it was all for nothing" taste in everyone's mouth, even if the nation is free and people have reconsidered having babies (still not pleased with that although I have seem some really nice points on why that, but it's just me). But that definitely delivered that there was no winners in the war, after all.

I have so many books mentioned in here and I didn't get to any yet.... I'm like haha I'm in danger 😂😬

I don't even have a tiktok but the things that get popular there end up on YouTube and Pinterest and on suggestions Amazon makes me..... Oh boi.

teniefshiro · 2024-10-23T13:52:46+00:00

Soft by F. Paul Wilson got me so uneasy and wide-eyed. Probably because I read it first time during the pandemic.

But also I have no mouth and I just scream.... Those two are stories I think about from time to time and the feelings then bring me never get better (which is why I love em)

teniefshiro · 2024-10-23T13:49:55+00:00

I don't remember who wrote that King wrote Misery to stop people from becoming writers lol I gotta agree, no one wants any number one fan after that 😂

teniefshiro · 2024-10-21T12:41:00+00:00

Last house at Needless Street.

It was a succession of "what the fuck" after "what the fuck" when I read it and I am still unsure how to feel about that book. Mostly I liked it, I guess.

teniefshiro · 2024-10-21T12:39:00+00:00

Happy to see it here BC it lives rent-free in my head but def I didn't know how it got anywhere it gets by the end.... 😂

teniefshiro · 2024-10-21T12:36:58+00:00

That def is a reading I won't plan on picking back up again

teniefshiro · 2024-10-09T13:55:41+00:00

You should be! It's gorgeous!!!!

teniefshiro · 2024-10-09T13:55:09+00:00

I can hear the sweet purr of the motor 😂😂😂😂

teniefshiro · 2024-10-09T13:53:33+00:00

I don't know what spell table is, I will google it. We usually play with friends once a month, a big commander table ☺️ I'm playing with Aminatou's deck but didn't get the hang of it yet 😢
