Meanwhile, all other librarians be like -

Also, what's the point of doing a challenge if you don't brag a little about it?

This ain't no library - more like Noisy Book Club where everyone is talking over the other - kinda like my online one where we all have SOOOO much to say!

I don't see how Noisy and Book Club could ever go hand in hand... but sure

(I know what you mean really... I'm just making some posts here like you wanted )

Draco Malfoy & The Mortifying Ordeal of being in love:

Whoa this was enjoyable. I was all set to shelve this or pace it out at 25% - wasn't feeling it, but then it picked up pace and I finsihed it in one sitting. Once I stopped expecting more romance and taking it for what it was - an adventure-fantasy-comedy-romance (in that order!), I liked it a lot more. There was gorgeous detail in this - full marks to the author for the canon callbacks and other painstaking research and for cleverly weaving wizarding lore with Christain and Pagan ones. Absolutely well-written. 3.75 stars only because the British reserve was frustrating in the romance - it picked up only at around 70% and its slooooowwwww buuurrrrn. And having only Draco's PoV. That was refreshing at first but later it began to annoy, because the reader doesn't get to hear from Hermione - why did she fall for Draco? Also, Hermione is a bit of a Mary Sue, isn't she?

Sorry, forgot who else reads HP FF.

Current read/s: Say you'll remember me by Abby Jimenez (60% done) and My Lady Jane (I'm doing this as my Book club read-along and we only read a chapter a day so I will be done only by end of the month - unless I break the rules and read ahead! )

Thanks for the review. I read it in the sheet... and I've added my reviews there too. But going forward, I will make posts here as well

Hey it’s fine! I was just ainvayi checking 😇. I have the opposite problem - haven’t found anything I want to watch or that sustained my interest beyond an epi or two, but my reading is going great! 😌 What series / movies have you beeen watching? Any Recs?

Well I mostly watched a bunch of cheesy romcom movies liked some, got put off by some, nothing substantial to rec. And then I rewatched Suspicious Partners and Secret Life of my Secretary (both kdramas). The first one is a sorta comfort show for me at this point, I've watched it like 3-4 times already 😅 The second one I ended up watching accidentally, courtesy of Netflix I hadn't actually enjoyed this one the first time I'd watched it, but this time I somehow got hooked in and ended up really liking it. Definitely gonna rewatch in future too. Complete change in opinion I know

Other than that I watched Laapata Ladies, loved it, you can definitely watch it if you haven't already (all my friends been telling me that I was the last one in the world to watch that movie 😭🤣). Also started like 2-3 new kdramas and a jdrama, one of them in particular seemed really cute and interesting but my Netflix expired before I could finish any of them so now it'll have to wait until I feel like getting a subscription again 😅

I'm also watching a mini cdrama currently that went in a very different direction from I was expecting still not bad, so I'm gonna keep watching it until I finish (I'm almost there anyway) but I really expected some intense push/pull or forbidden romance stuff. Or at least a moderate slowburn. But these two kissed way too early and drowned all my hopes 😭 now it's just a cute couple who love each other, with some typical background conspiracies going on. I mean... cute is nice, and I enjoy it when I'm in the mood, but it wasn't what I wanted from this one 😭

So now I'm just hoping that the book I'm currently reading gives me some intensity. It's supposed be a slowburn and it's enemies to lovers so I really wanna hope but I don't wanna get drowned again so I'm also keeping my hopes low

Let's see what happens, if this also disappoints then I'll just fall back on some thrillers to help me recover

How are you liking DMATMOOBIL?

Sorry to barge in, but what is DMATMOOBIL? That's a freaking huge acronym for a book name!

It’s a fanfiction.
