A Court of Tattoos and Rosé

The invasion of Amren’s apartment begins. Needless to say, she enjoys company quite a bit. Thankfully the book is safe and protected just casually laying on a side table being used as a coaster. What is a few blood stains on an ancient book? Plans are being made. Invites are going out. Let the war begin. 

Train, puke. Train, puke. Read, sleep. Train, puke. I don’t know about you but I am not going anywhere near the bushes in Rifthold. They are pretty foul smelling at the moment. Most look on the verge of dying. I am pretty sure it is not the palace gardeners’ fault either. However, everyone still has their eyes intact, possibly because the Eye Eater was found in ribbons? Not sure that is a good loo...

And Eris is attacking. Dude is trying to use his fire to melt some ice. We are literally shivering in our muddy boots….or not… Never fret though, Blanche and Sophia save the day or was it Cassian and Azriel? But honestly, that reunion. Tears. Back to Velaris, finally, home. And we fall to our knees but Rhys is there. Then some really prolonging banter and we get to the good stuff. Only to finish o...

Well, plot twist, do not eat apples that are lying around. If we haven’t learned anything from books, it’s that. Sadly, the twins are no more. So we are now taking applications for new evil characters. Please send your resumes to assisthyberndomination@hotmail.com

No sleep, too busy reading. That sounds about right. Well, training has begun. Let’s meet our competition. Thank goodness Chaol is by our side…or not. Running til you puke in bushes. This honestly just all sounds pleasant. Actually not. Is there a scheduled nap time?

PSA: Well safe to say, this week is not the week to join the Children of the Blessed. Maybe put in your application next week? I hear potential openings will be available. Burial for previous members will be at 1:00; however, all parts are not available for the ceremony. This week is also not the week to join the Guard. However, top-ranking positions will be available shortly. Overall, do not send...

Summer Solstice is upon us, round two. So let the light shine upon the most cunning, beautiful, fae. Make sure to flirt with the most handsome, jealous Lord and his most trusted, loyal Knight, but keep them guessing. Dance, eat, drink, and be stunning. Today is the day for mischief.

Celaena has arrived at Rifthold. She asks for a tour of the castle (sans glass portion) feigning boredom but secretly plotting. The tour ends in the library where an unlikely bookclub friendship begins to form. But not everyone is happy that the Crown Prince has brought home a woman from his most recent travels. However, people better watch what they say, or they could end up with a flower pot bei...

Let the games begin, it is time for A Court of Wings and Ruin! After a grisly reminder of the previous war, we get to see the beginnings of Feyre's devious and absolutely brilliant plan to take apart the Spring Court from the inside. From beguiling Tamlin with a pretty painting to icing out her fury at everyone's least favorite priestess, Feyre is really giving Jurian a run for his money for the b...

Since we finished ACOMAF, that means we have to discuss some delicious men! Welcome to our second book boyfriends episode with our special guest Skye (@skyeslibrary)! This episode is again broken down into different sections so if you have not read a particular book, you can skip the section to avoid spoilers or you can listen to get a preview! Just listen for the Spoiler Warning Section. So who d...

No worries everyone, we found Caitlyn a Duke! He may not be the Duke of Hastings…but he comes pretty close? Or not. Meanwhile, Celaena, Dorian, and Chaol are making the trip back to Rifthold. Which is not the trip for your if you are into modern plumbing and toilet paper. Some important background information is dropped. Oh, and we worked on those pesky pronunciations this week, let’s get at it!

Yes, yes, it’s our last ACOMAF episode. Mads may be still crying...Blake and Caitlyn are already counting down to ACOSF. But today we do a recap of the book followed by the highly requested bonus chapter, featuring some fan favorite Nessian banter. We begin with ACOMAF then work our way into the bonus chapter. The bonus chapter does discuss ACOSF, but there will be a warning when that discussion b...

Hybern is living the high life. He is making plans, reigning terror, and taking names. Revenge is even sweeter with two cherries on top. Oh that’s right, Tamlin trusted both Ianthe and Hybern. Cue Hybern’s evil laugh. So now we are dealing with Feyre’s sisters. The bond is being threatened. The Inner Circle is on the brink of death and Feyre is out of options. So what is the best solution? Tamlin…...

Surprise! We just couldn’t wait any longer to dive into SJM’s OG series, Throne of Glass. Join us in our first bi-weekly TOG episode. From the very first sentence, the mood is set for this book and boy is it dark. We meet everyone’s favorite assassin and her sharp wit. Celaena meets the grumpy veggie, Chaol, and the gorgeous, if somewhat arrogant, Prince Dorian. He offers her a chance at true free...

Today we talk about how making a plan in the span of a couple hours probably does not equate to a revenge plot that was planned for well over 50 years. Az goes down, everything goes to garbage. Jurian is back after watching Rhys do it for 50 years, yeah no grudges there. Oh lookie there, Tamlin crawls out of the gutter and brings it with him. The smell of a certain bond cannot be missed. Then Feyr...

This episode - a quick description. Feyre and the Attor have their reckoning. Plans are made to destroy the Cauldron and go to Hybern. Feyre and Rhys discuss his mother’s ring, including its importance…and some very important decisions were made. Then off to Hybern they go...and they find the Cauldron.

And we are back! And it starts on a table. Then some awkward bowing. Followed by spilling ancient secrets. Probably not smart, but we live and learn. Then Daddy T comes to the rescue. And the Attor dares to show his face again....

And we are back with Skye (@skyeslibrary) to discuss all of the theories and predictions that A Court of Silver Flames gave us! Let the wildness begin…

Join Madison, Blake and our special guest, Skye (@skyeslibrary), for a SPOILER FILLED discussion about ACOSF. Our discussion kicks off with a reminder to be kind and remember that everyone's unique interpretations are part of what makes reading beautiful. We give our honest and very different opinions on Nesta's journey, the book's themes and our long awaited return to Prythian. While this week’s...

Explicit, and that’s all we have to say about that. 

This week’s episode, chapter 54. When Rhys shows up at the cabin, Feyre offers him a deal. Tell the entire story, tell the whole truth about their bond, and in the end she would decide whether to offer him food and accept the bond. Rhys revisits his painful past and gives Feyre all of the gory and heartbreaking details. Beginning with the war, Amarantha and Jurian. Then Amarantha’s return and the...

After the Suriel drops the tea, Feyre is pissed. She leaves her “new” mate injured, in the freezing mud, and demands Mor to take her away. Mor takes Feyre to the family cabin. At last, she is alone to think. After snooping throughout the cabin, she ends up finding some paint. Finally, at long last, she paints. The. Entire. Cabin. And she comes to some pretty serious conclusions about her future.

After a close and exceedingly annoying encounter with Lucien which reminds us all of how psycho Tamlin is, Rhys and Feyre take some shelter for the night. They are stuck in a cold, dingy inn with one bed and questionable meat stew. In order to get a little warmer, Rhys lends Feyre a hand. After some blissful sleep, the pair travel back to the camp in an awkward silence. Right when Rhys is about to...

PSA: We want to apologize in advance. This episode is very...The Cadre (if you know, you know). The Illyrian Mountains are cold, bitterly cold. Feyre, Rhys, Cassian, and Mor are eating mutton stew (which I’m sure Gordon Ramsey would fling across the room with a few profanities) and discussing the current camp predicament. Feyre and Rhys end up leaving and Feyre has an internal battle outside Rhys’...

Join us and fellow bookstagrammer, Skye @skyeslibrary, for our Starfall episode! Plus, we got a chance to talk ACOSF! This is a pivotal moment in Feyre’s journey, think The Notebook, “WHAT DO YOU WANT?!” Which frankly we have all been screaming for the past 450 pages. But of course, just like Allie, Feyre must continue to go through her inner struggle even after this heartbreakingly beautiful scen...
