As said by the title, this is now my comfort book. I love this book. A beginner to classics should definitely start with this one.

I love this book so much. I’ll tell my thoughts on each individual character.

Meg – I think she’s my favorite sister (sorry, Jo!). At first, I thought she was annoying. But she had real character development. Before we go to the next sister, I’d like to talk about her relationship with John Brooke (my favorite character).

As soon as Mr. Brooke came, I liked him very much. I ship…Mrooke? Very much. I loved reading about their marriage struggles. I liked how when they both fought, they both wanted to be the first to apologize. When Meg was in the wrong, when she found out, immediately she tried to do good, and that’s why I love her. And John does so much for Meg to feel happy even though they’re poor.

Jo – I can relate with her temper and ambition; she has her flaws (like me) but is a good person.

Beth – oh Beth…you know why she’s my second favorite sister. I love her so much. I knew she would die while reading as I had watched the 2019 movie a few years ago. I was so shocked at the time…love her.

Amy – my third favorite sister, yes, I know. I can relate to her being annoying to her sister and she was annoying at first, but in the second part, she was so good hearted and lovely…don’t judge me, though I think I was biased because of Florence Pugh (love her).

Laurie – I kept imagining Laurie as Timothée Chalamet even though he’s described as “dark skinned”. I think Laurie is a wonderful character, definitely one of my favorites, with a lot of flaws.

[Jo basically asks where he wants to be when he grows up].

“‘To live in Italy, and to enjoy myself in my own way.’” – Laurie. Timothée Chalamet plays an Italian in Call me by your name (I think, haven’t watched the movie, ok?)

Coincidence? I THINK NOT.

Now, let’s get into the ships/relationships.

Meg and John Brooke – favorite ship in the whole book.

Jo and Laurie – I don’t really ship them together; Jo didn’t have feelings for him. But it was still heartbreaking to read (AND WATCH!).

 Amy and Laurie – it was kind of weird for Laurie to fall in love with Beth’s sister after falling in love with her, but it’s okay…I just care that they’re happy and rich. I don’t have much feelings for them.

Jo and Professor Bhauer – this ship is weirder than Amy and Laurie. At least Laurie is lonely three or four years older than Amy. But FIFTEEN! Fifteen…it’s the age difference that makes me feel weird. One of them isn’t immortal, this ain’t Malec!

And now, for some out of context quotes that make me think of the times where the word ‘gay’ was used for happiness.

"Beth played her gayest march"

"Isn’t that music gay?"

"‘To live in Italy, and to enjoy myself in my own way.’" - Laurie

"[Meg] tried not to be envious or discontented, but it was very natural that the young girl should long for pretty things, gay friends, accomplishments, and a happy life."

"I can’t, I feel so queer!"

"she did her best to seem gay"

"Meg had told her adventures gayly"

"Plumfield is about as gay as a churchyard"

"It’s a very queer thing for her to do"

"-so it will be gay inside-"

"it was a comical sight to see her mince along in her gay suit"

"'What can you expect when I have four gay girls in the house, and a dashing young neighbor over the way?'"

"'I’ll do my best, for your sake,’ promised Beth, wondering why Jo looked at her so queerly."

"Give us something gayer, lad"

"‘If that’s the way he’s going to grow up, I wish he’s stay a boy,’ she thought, with a curious sense of disappointment and discomfort, trying meantime to seem quite easy and gay."

"‘Why, little mother, how gay we are tonight.'"

As I said, this is now my comfort book. I read this book by ebook. And when I read it again, I’ll buy the book and read it physically.

My rating? Without a doubt; 5 stars.

My Pride and prejudice book will be coming today, so the review will be posted in a couple of days. Percy Jackson series review will be coming next week, so buckle up!

realizing I missed percy's inner monologue while rereading the percy jackson series for the fifth time 🔱🌊⚔️💙

Today we’re reviewing the Percy Jackson series! I don’t think I can criticize this series (but then again do I ever criticize books on this blog?) but I can gush about it! I’m aiming to read the book in one day! Yes, I haven’t read it yet. But, at the end of the day (or when I finish the book) I’ll be back to review it! *** Hey guys! I’m back after reading the whole book. It was 3:00 when I started the book and now (checks clock) it is 6:50! PM, by the way, I’m not an early-morning reader. Anyway, let’s start. I have nothing to say about the plot, other than I enjoyed it and loved Percy’s narrative. But when they start off on their quest. Argus is a Percabeth shipper!!!! That’s all I have to say on the first half of the book....

a very very short review of heartstopper

  A very very short review of  h e a r t s t o p p e r Finally! It’s the show starring the ship; 𝓰𝓸𝓵𝓭𝓮𝓷 𝓻𝓮𝓽𝓻𝓲𝓮𝓿𝓮𝓻 × 𝓰𝓪𝔂 𝓯𝓸𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓽 𝓰𝓾𝓶𝓹 Hi guys, it’s Eesha Samantray from the Samantray Post and today we’re reviewing HEART STOPPER , a tv adaptation of the graphic novel series. I watched the show without reading the books, and then went on webtoon and read the first two novels, then watched the show again. It’s a really well-done adaptation – I actually found out while reading the books, that most of the scenes were straight out of the books. All the changes were very welcome to me – like more drama, which was bound to happen as it was adapted into a show – including adding some new characters; Imogen, who I was very surprised by the turn they took with her character and how I loved her, and of course, one of the best characters; Isaac. He was just in the background reading his books, which is most likely to be me, as much as I’d li...

i hate teresa, she can die a brutal death

  𝓲 𝓱𝓪𝓽𝓮 𝓽𝓮𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓪 , 𝓼𝓱𝓮 𝓬𝓪𝓷 𝓭𝓲𝓮 𝓪 𝓫𝓻𝓾𝓽𝓪𝓵 𝓭𝓮𝓪𝓽𝓱 Hey guys, it’s Eesha Samantray from The Samantray Post ! Today we’re reviewing THE SCORCH TRIALS , the second book of the Maze Runner series. I’ll sum it up; this book wasn’t good. The first book was phenomenal, but this book was…eh. Yes, there were twists – mostly involving Teresa, who I’ll talk about a bit later. But it just wasn’t good. People would tell you the exact reason why this book isn’t good, but those people aren’t reviewing this book I’ll tell you what scared the heebie-jeebies outta me: “Rose took my nose, I suppose. It really blows.” No context, sorry. You know if you know. Now let’s talk about what I really wanted to talk about: ~Teresa~ I fricken hate this girl. Don’t give me crap about ‘She’s doing it for humanity and Thomas.’ She made it clear that she’s with WICKED. And I felt really bad for Thomas. Newt would treat you better, just sayin’. “They kissed, but nothing stirred i...

teresa is finally dead, but im bawling over newt

  𝓽𝓮𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓪 𝓲𝓼 𝓯𝓲𝓷𝓪𝓵𝓵𝔂 𝓭𝓮𝓪𝓭 , 𝓫𝓾𝓽 𝓲𝓶 𝓫𝓪𝔀𝓵𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓻 𝓷𝓮𝔀𝓽 Hi, it’s Eesha Samantray from The Samantray Post . Today we’re reviewing THE DEATH CURE , the third and last book of the Maze Runner series. It’s a solid book, but it was still really disappointing. Nothing could surpass the first book. Teresa is dead, so that’s the only good thing. But now Newt is dead! I hate that. They killed off my favourite character. I think that in the movie his death was sadder, but that’s my opinion. That’s my review, thank you for reading. --- Laugh at all the memes I've saved on Pinterest -   https://www.pinterest.at/eeshasamantray/_saved/ Check out what I'm reading on Goodreads -  https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/146096902-eesha-samantray Read my writing and enter my competitions on Quotev -  https://www.quotev.com/thesamantraypost

tmr is amazing and i take no criticism

T M R is amazing and I take no criticism Y’all, reading and watching HEART STOPPER   before the maze runner made me think that Charlie would be a great runner 😭 he is like only a year younger than Thomas, so same age range haha. Anyway, if you haven’t guessed, today we’re reviewing THE MAZE RUNNER , the first book in the series. If you don’t know what this book is, let me google this real quick. “A teen [Thomas] wakes up in a clearing in the centre of a gigantic maze with no memory of his past, finding himself a resident in community of boys who have built a village in the glade and who sends two of its strongest and fittest runners into the maze every morning to find a way out.” This is for the movie but it translates to the book as well. The Maze Runner is an amazing book, I really enjoyed it. It felt like a mystery, revealing information slowly each chapter, while the main characters tried to solve it. It read like a movie – which was why it made a great one! T...
