The Laws of the Skies | Gr�goire Courtois

pick

This was a complete and over the top annihilation of innocence. 3 adults and 12 6 year olds go into the woods and never come out. This is their horrific story. I can‘t really recommend this one to anyone, but it is a pick.

erzascarletbookgasm I am most curious and intrigued by this book now, but I don‘t know if I am ready to read it 😱 after seeing all the reviews! 5y

TrishB And that makes me really curious! 5y

Reggie @erzascarletbookgasm @TrishB I don‘t know if it‘s for you ladies.... 5y

TrishB I‘m not rushing! 5y

Karkar Sounds good to me! Stacking 📚 5y

KimM that's a nope
5y

batsy That face sums it up, doesn't it! 5y

sprainedbrain Another tempting review. 🤔 5y

Smrloomis @Karkar 😱😆 I‘m with @KimM Nope, nope, nope. 5y

DGRachel Kudos to you for making it through! @erzascarletbookgasm @TrishB It‘s short, but brutal. Very, very brutal. 5y

Centique I just watched Pitch Black on Netflix last night @Reggie so I‘m about ready to arm myself with a machete and a flame thrower before I next leave the house. 😂😂 I think that‘s my threshold for fear already reached. #notstacking #butyouwritethebestreviews 5y

RaimeyGallant I'm terrified just reading the synopsis. 5y

Reggie Lol @KimM @Smrloomis I don‘t blame you for the nopes. 5y

Reggie @batsy @DGRachel @ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled the parts that got to me were when the kids were always internally asking for their mothers and the part where the author points out that the kids didn‘t know they were at death‘s door. That they thought what and where they were was just temporary. There was a lot of psychology going on. 5y

Reggie @sprainedbrain I think you could handle this. 5y

Reggie @Centique Lolololol yeah this is a definite no for you. Although it did remind me of Rain, because it‘s short and there is that section in the end that tells you about CPR. Well I‘m here the structure was the same but instead of 6 pages of CPR there is 6 pages of how a boar eats a little boy from his legs to his arms to his face. I started laughing because I had mentally checked out because of what the author was doing. Everyone else‘s death I 5y

Reggie @Centique took hard. 5y

Reggie @RaimeyGallant it is not for 99.9% of Litsy. It‘s rough. 5y

ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled Yes - agreed. I appreciated the psychology of it that the kids didn‘t understand their own mortality. 5y

readordierachel I'm reading this now 😱 5y

Reggie @readordierachel whatcha think so far? 5y

readordierachel I'm "enjoying" it. It's so f'ed up, but I'm hooked. 5y

TrishB Hope you‘re ok Reggie - not seen a post for a few days! 5y

Centique Yes! What @TrishB said. Your tribe is getting restless wondering where your wonderful reviews and comments are. 😉 Hope all is well and you‘re just off being busy. 🤞🤞💕 5y

Suet624 Psst... thinking of you. I miss you!!! 5y

sprainedbrain Hey, Reggie! Missing your posts around here. Hope you‘re well! 😃 5y

merelybookish Popping in to see what's up! You are missed! 5y

ValerieAndBooks Missing you too! Hope all is well. 5y

LibrarianJen I‘m missing you too! I hope all is well. 5y

CarolynM I'm another one dropping in to say I'm missing you and I hope all is well. 5y

Reggie @TrishB @Centique @Suet624 @sprainedbrain @merelybookish @ValerieAndBooks @LibrarianJen @CarolynM @batsy @Cinfhen thanks for all the kind comments. Right before the 4th I was getting burned out at work, getting burned out a little with Litsy, and then I turned 40, and went into a midlife, what the hell have I done with my life, phase. #1stworldproblems But now I‘m just finishing my 2 week vacay from work, refreshed and ready to be back. Hope all 5y

Reggie Is well with you all as well. Missed you all. 5y

TrishB Awww Reggie, sometimes a good break from everything is just what‘s needed. Look after yourself 💕 5y

CarolynM Yeah, 40 is a killer. If it's any consolation, 50 is nowhere near as bad😂 Glad you enjoyed your break. 5y

TrishB @CarolynM so true! 5y

batsy Lovely to see you back Reggie and it's true, sometimes time away is just what is needed. I'm feeling much of the same (40 next year) so I'm glad to hear that, @CarolynM 😅 5y

CarolynM @TrishB @batsy I wish someone had told me in advance😁😀 5y

Centique @Reggie omg Reggie, I was having conniptions that something had happened to you. Your last post was gruesome after all! 😂😂😂 I‘m MORE than glad to see your smiling face. 💕 And as for being 40 - you‘re wiser and more perceptive than at any other time in your life, less likely to put up with bullshit, more likely to prioritise what‘s important over what other people think - you‘re more golden than ever before and you‘ve got many years ahead! 5y

Centique @Reggie I say this having taken a good few years to realise that myself! Now go write some of your famously unique reviews my friend to appease the ravenous hordes of your followers 😍🙂🙃😉 5y

Reggie @Centique @batsy @TrishB it‘s funny, I was a little sad when I turned twenty cause I knew I‘d never be a teenager again. 30 didn‘t phase me at all. 40 blindsided me. Lol, thank you @CarolynM for the 50‘s preview. 5y

Suet624 Reggie, I was worried something had happened to you too! Honestly, what would the world and Litsy be without Reggie? (Not being melodramatic here.) I value hearing your thoughts and missed you. @Centique @batsy @CarolynM I have to tell you, much to my surprise, hitting 60 was a piece of cake. Just hitting my stride. 5y

CarolynM @Suet624 Good to know - it's not that far away! 5y

Centique @Suet624 @Reggie I‘m so pleased to hear that! I think there are myths western society consumes about ageing - like we‘re becoming lesser as we age - and a kind of invisibility of older people and their stories that goes with it. Almost have to pull the curtain aside and find there‘s a vibrant world full of 40, 50, 60 and 70 plus out there 😊👍🤟 5y

sprainedbrain I‘m so glad you‘re back! Sorry about 40... it happens to the best of us. 😂 5y

merelybookish Welcome back! Glad you're feeling better! 5y

Suet624 @Centique I love your comment about pulling the curtain aside. It‘s very true that I‘m a lot less visible to people - they often look right through me - but that allows me to get away with a lot more than I used to! 😂😂 5y

LibrarianJen I‘m glad that you were able to take a step back and bounce back from it. I think my crisis was when I hit 30. I didn‘t want to “grow up”. Hopefully 40 won‘t phase me. 5y

ValerieAndBooks Glad you‘re back, Reggie! And that you got some time off. Yes, numbers ending with a zero does tend to have that kind of effect! But think of it as that you‘ve made it this far with many more to go 😘 😊. 5y

Centique @Suet624 brilliant! That‘s a strategy I can get behind! 😂 5y

sprainedbrain Ok I just finished this. Holy hell! 5y

overtheedge I loved this book! 5y
