The Seven Husbands Of Evelyn Hugo - Tumblr Posts
totally forgot I did this,, evelyncelia and taylor swift lyrics is something that can actually be so personal,,
LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!
Of courese Celia loved Evelyn but while reading I felt like she doesn't fully accept Evelyn's bisexuality. Celia herself said that she couldn't stand a thought of Evelyn with a man. Sometimes it was like she resent Evelyn for being married to a man before their relationship wich in my opinion is kinda toxic.
Also in some of their arguments she acted quite possesive (does it even make sense?) - she wanted Evelyn just for herself and ...
*small spoiler alert*
Didn't approve even acting romantic scenes with a man
( I'm not saying that in this case Evelyn is "innocent", she should have told Celia but still Celia overreacted imo)
Anywas I loved the book so don't get me wrong, I'm not hating on this book
Harry Cameron was the only person that truly loved Evelyn Hugo for who she was without objectifying her. I said what I said.
I mean... She wanted to take their money and/or use them/their fame for her own good so ... It's not completely wrong 🤣
My sister thought Evelyn Hugo is a horror where evelyn kills all her husband's to take their money and honestly that's what Don Adler deserved

“You do not know how fast you have been running, how hard you have been working, how truly exhausted you are, until somewhat stands behind you and says, “It’s OK, you can fall down now. I’ll catch you.”

Scrolling through Instagram....

Seeing the insanely cheap price for new books....

I feel so dumb...
new game is to type one through ten in your tags and see what comes up. i think my favorite of mine is ‘my uncle told us he spent seven and a half hours in a sensory deprivation tank once’ but ‘gideon the ninth motherfucker’ is a close second

~ August's Books Reviewed ~
The month started out strong with me riding a Sanderson high, then I did a thing that I objectively hate and know will 9 times out of 10 have me reading less, which is started several books at once.... as of the end of August I was reading three books at once, yet none of them were finished so none of them get included in August's round up... look forward to that in September I guess!
The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson
(763 pages)
The stress I felt reading this was unreal... which is simply evidence of how good it is. It genuinely was pulling actual visceral reactions from me and I physically could not put it down at points. I know this is a shorter review than usual, but I can think of nothing else to say.
I gave this book 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Hero of Ages by Brandon Sanderson
(748 pages)
An amazing conclusion to a really really good trilogy. The twists and turns of this were so well executed and completely shocking in exactly the right way. The ending in particular I never could have seen coming. If this were a spoiler review I'd be able to go on more, but for now, I leave with simply the promise that if you love fantasy novels, Sanderson novels, epic twists and/or social/religious/political commentary then you should definitely give this series a try!
I gave this book 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid
(585 pages)
I was gifted this book and admit to being a little wary before committing to reading it, as a general rule books that blow up exclusively on social media tend to be a let down to me after the copious amounts of hype they've received. I'm pleased to say that was not the case with this book. If anything, I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed it. It was extremely uniquely written; it was emotional, clever and beautiful. The characters were all so complex and felt genuinely so real. I would say that was the highlight of this book, the characterisation. Every character you could relate to a real person. You sympathised with their decisions, or at least understood them. Like real life, there was no villains and heroes. Bad people and good people and somewhere in the middle people, sure. But also like real life, the last group was the most prevalent, and the first two groups different to each individual's opinions. I would actually really recommend this book to almost everyone I know who reads, I'm pretty sure everyone could find something in it that keeps their focus, be it the mystery, the love story, the characters....
I gave this book 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The twist of a knife by Anthony Horowitz
(373 pages)
I am like 90% sure that this was not the first book in a series, however it stood well as a stand alone book too! Like the other Horowitz book I read earlier this year, I found this novel a little slow to pick up at first, however I did get into it in the end. I found it clever and quirky and I loved the meta elements. Ultimately, it was exactly what it was advertised as - a light, humorous murder mystery - and actually, I'm not mad about taking a break for something silly every so often!
I gave this book 3 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️
If We Were Villains by M. L. Rio
(422 pages)
After the success of The Seven Husbands, I felt brave enough to try another recent social media favourite book. I'd seen mixed reviews over this one, however my flatmate strongly recommended it and as usual, our tastes in books aligned and it was extremely good. Despite the predictability of the plot, I was fully engaged the entire way through which speaks to how well the characters were depicted that I was willing to look past the predictability of it all just to read more about the people. In fact, I would like to make this a formal call for more people to start writing fanfictions for this novel because I want to read even more about these characters and am being denied that currently based off the limited options on ao3 (if anyone has any good recommendations please let me know!) I think, if I had read this in another month it would have received five stars, however it was let down by the fact that it was read within the same weeks as Sanderson and The Seven Husbands which meant I could not in good conscience give it full marks when the plot was just a little too easy to see coming for me. Therefore....
I gave this book 4 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Hi everybody!
Sorry I haven't posted anything in a long time, I just didn't have any good books to share with you.
Two days ago I finished "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo" written by Taylor Jenkins Reid. It's a very popular book and it does not surprise me; the main character is interesting and the plot twist at the end made me scream.
Currently, I'm reading "Solitaire" by Alice Oseman. I'm sure a lot of you know her as the author of "Heartstopper". "Solitaire" is about Charlie's older sister, Tori. I'm on page 130, but I can already recommend you this book. It's addictive.
PS: Could you recommend me a serial on Disney +? Something good, but also not very long.
See you next Wednesday!
Started reading this....
Only on the second chapter, but I'm surprised I actually like it so far!
the fact that evelyn hugo is gonna be adapted into a film, and not a 7-8 episode series with each episode being dedicated to a husband is just further proof that netflix doesn’t care about me
