… until a little past the middle. We have our person on trial as the major point of view, and have a few others making comments about their character. By the trail we do have some repetition and the conclusion felt anticlimactic. While we need to remember the time frame in which this happened I was hoping for something more or different to really say I completely enjoyed this book. #FableBR

Welp, this won the vote on my Scottish selections for my longest running book club—& it‘s most definitely the most sexually explicit book the club has ever read together in its over 15 years of existence! From the cutesy cover & shapeshifting plot, I didn‘t expect this enemies-to-lovers romance to be quite so graphic (he can‘t control turning into Nessie by night, but manages to turn some specific body parts into something more monstrous!😳).

TorieStorieS The plot‘s pretty predictable but it‘s a quick read— though I am not really sure what there will be to discuss! 6h
rubyslippersreads I 💚 Nessie, and had this on my TBR, but I don‘t think it‘s for me. Thanks for the warning. 6h

TorieStorieS @rubyslippersreads No problem— I did see the spice rating on Aardvark‘s site when I ordered it, but the other book with the same rating wasn‘t nearly as graphic, so I didn‘t hesitate to include it when I picked books to discuss! My mom is in this club too, so I handed over my copy with the same warning, haha!! 3h
TorieStorieS @rubyslippersreads Have you read any good Nessie books? This one and the last one were just not monstery enough! 3h
TorieStorieS @5feet.of.fury Indeed!! 😆 My mom and my teenage niece are in this book club as well as friends so it will be an interesting discussion (or a nonexistent one!) on Sunday! 3h
5feet.of.fury @TorieStorieS oh no! Lmao hope they aren‘t too scandalized. 3h
TorieStorieS @5feet.of.fury I was clutching my pearls on their behalf as I read! 😆 Well, I was actually laughing so loud about it that my husband came in from another room to find out what was so funny! Wish me luck for Sunday though! 3h
rubyslippersreads @TorieStorieS I‘ve only read one, but am definitely up for suggestions for more. 43m

"Timing a trip to look for Scottish wildcats is difficult in a way, but in another way it's not: no matter what time you go, you're almost guaranteed not to see one."

About halfway through, and I'm really enjoying this book ?

IriDas Years ago I read a fanfic where the characters were on a sledge ride and happened to see one. Unfortunately, it was another three years before I learned that this was a rare thing, and therefore leant meaning to the story. 3d

Skye does *not* pose for photographs! I had to edge as close as she'd tolerate to take this. She's not a wild "Highland Tiger", but she doesn't mess about either. She is often playful, but absolutely on her own terms. We're loving getting to know her idiosyncrasies? #Caturday
The book is about the natural history of and conservation efforts for the Scottish wildcat, of which few now survive that aren't hybridised with domestic cats ?

AllDebooks Adorable ❤️🐾❤️ And, I need this book 😍 5d

Jenny Colgan‘s books often miss the mark with me, but I enjoyed this one. I‘m a big knitter too and like Gertie I also knit to relax and stay calm. Fun characters in a beautiful setting. Though I agree with others that the cover is oddly misleading.
