Listen, not every book needs to be as big a pervert as I am, but this sex scene (which avoided both directly referring to, or even alluding to, genitals) was real... weird.

willaful I started reading romance in the era of throbbing manhoods so I actually appreciated authors who did that. 😂 3mo
khooliha @willaful yeah, some classic historical florid prose wouldn't fit the book, though it would have been very funny 3mo

Mehso-so

A fun premise with an average execution. I appreciate the sensitive topics that the story puts “out there” (emotional abuse, gaslighting, the loneliness the comes with being a caretaker — especially at a young age when caring for an ill or dying parent). The writing, however, is repetitive and lacks subtlety & finesse, e.g. “He pulls me into a kiss. It‘s slow and long-awaited…and tastes of tongue.” WHAT. No, thank you.👇🏻

monalyisha 1/1: And did you know that blue hair = quirky? How many times would you like to be reminded? Think of an appropriate amount…and then double it. I am unlikely to go hunting for another of Marlowe‘s books but I‘m glad she tried something thematically different. 3mo
ChaoticMissAdventures This is too bad! She has a new one coming out centered on UFO hunting or something, it sounded fun but we I don't want to think about the taste of someone's tongue 😂 3mo
monalyisha @ChaoticMissAdventures Yes! There was an excerpt at the end of this book, which I read because I‘m nothing if not a completionist. 😅 3mo
AlaMich Hate repetition! I‘ve been reading Mistborn and Brandon Sanderson loooves to make his characters FROWN. Pick another verb!! (edited) 3mo
monalyisha @AlaMich Me too. It‘s a definite pet peeve — and one that I have reason to complain about all too often! 3mo

Verity‘s dancing persona is invited back for a season of Dance or Die. Unfortunately, the show becomes quite literal when eliminated contestants start disappearing.

I love my popcorn urban fantasy series. It‘s so campy, but so delightful. Verity is such fun, the introduction of Grandma Alice made me cackle, & the Mice continue to be a goddamn delight. I was disappointed in the end, but I loved the world expansion & the side characters!🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

I finished Imaginary Numbers! It took me a minute to get into it, but I loved it in the end. Cuckoo lore! High stakes! True love!

Why did I put this McGuire series down for so long? I love it. Currently reading number 9.

Bigfoot/Sasquatch isn‘t something I‘ve had much interest in, or a solid belief. I‘ve watched some personal stories about it lately though, and I find it interesting. The author travels to British Columbia to hear these kinds of stories from the locals. He gets indigenous wisdom and many stories; he learns the many names of this mysterious being; he meets other scientists who ask, if we know this creature exists, why the stigma? The book is⬇️

JenniferEgnor beautifully written. Part history, part science, part mystical—it leaves you to find your own path to seeing and defining the Sasquatch. 10mo
JenniferEgnor ‘The Valleys of the Noble Beyond‘ are defined by a local as: The Great Bear Rainforest; the land of serendipity, the ultimate landscape of myth, magic, and metaphor. The domain that is the unseen universe. A place where interconnection and deeper meanings lie around every corner… where Sasquatch, coincidences, and one million other possibilities exist. 10mo

My favorite kind of Sunday - cuppa and a couple of chapters.
