Apparently, this is the last book in the series. But there's so much more to tell. What about Sistersong? I would totally read that. I really want more. More Bennetts. More Wolves. More Pack Pack Pack. Really, how could I get so hooked up in this series? It's just so addictive, funny, emotional. So many feelings.

Happy #5JoysFriday 💛

It was a great week! Here we go:

1) Aarau Pride with the AroAces = Awesomeness!
2) Scrapbooking while angry at the world
3) First PSL this season
4) The children of one of my bookie besties sent me postcards - how cute is this?!
5) My Pichu evolved into Pikachu! Yes, I'm turning 36 this year, what's your question?

Murder Road | Simone St. James

This book confirms my Simone St. James strike - 4 stars, 3 stars, 4 stars, 3 stars and this is another 4 stars book 😄 This amuses me so much, but I really did have a good time with this book and kept on wondering what's happend. Also, it's the perfect book to say goodbye to summer and hello to autumn. It's eerie, dark and captivating.

What a fitting title! And even though not my favourite of the series, still a very good book. Loved the girl power in this (passes the Bechdel test for sure). Especially Deva was really, really cool.
Also, we finally can start to hope again! Good thing after all the heart break...

It's a Pick, of course it is, even though not as good as the first part. Or maybe it just has been too long since “The Last Kosmonaut“ was published. But most of it came back to me, eventually. It's possible to read this book without knowing the first part, but since the world-building happens there, I recommend reading the books in order. And I'd say there will be a third book, the ending hints this way.

The Scar | China Miville

My first Mieville in English! I was a bit scared to read this chunkster, but I think I managed pretty well. I had to fight sometimes to make it through, but as always, Mieville is worth it.
The world-building is just amazing, and I got sucked into this special world. We deal with a lot during this story. Politics, betrayal, death, but also friendship, honesty and making things right.

The first of the nine books I struggled with. Don't know if it was the length, or the wrong time for this book, or if it's me... If this wouldn't have been the second to last volume (for now), I would've bailed on the series. At the end it slowly started to draw me in again. The scenes became more captivating and I finally -finally!- reading didn't felt like a chore anymore.

I did realte to Georgia so, so much. All her struggles, thoughts, questions... all the things she goes through... This was a very intense read. Oseman did so much for the aro-ace community with writing this book. It helps reducing prejudices and informes about an identity not much talked about. Sometimes I wish, books like this existed when I was young. Happily, they do now.

One might has to know more about the BRZRKR universe to truly get this story? I just went with the flow. There's some deep sh... going on, which I totally could not grasp. But it still kept me going. Maybe that was China Mieville's part of the story. Who knows? Don't read if you're not ready for weird stuff going on.

I've only known Kelly Osbourne from her song “Daddy don't preach“, but when I came along this book, the cover just spoke to me. And after reading it, I'd say I would like to be friends with Kelly. We wouldn't agree on everything, but I'm deeply impressed with her, her honesty, and her attitude. She's very, very honest and open in those letters, about herself, the showbiz, her family.

AnnCrystal Love that song 👏😎👍.

It was funny. My brother wasn't allowed to listen to the music of Ozzy Osbourne (Prince of Darkness). It wasn't just Ozzy, it was any heavy metal.

Years later, my brother must have been laughing from heaven because his whole family discovers “The Osbournes“ from their reality show and become fans 😂.

We also followed the Osbournes into the reality show, Ozzy & Jack's World Detour. Kelly Osbourne appears in season two.

Soft pick. For a debut it's not bad, but it lacked depth and setting and characters could've been more fleshed out. It works with the typical Warhammer 40K elements, so for avid readers of these books, there's nothing really new or surprising to find. For beginners, I'd say it's a good book to start with.

Sweetkokoro If you don‘t mind me asking, I was recently looking into reading Warhammer and is starting with the Sisters of Battle an okay place? They sound really interesting and have been the biggest drawing point for me. (edited) 3w
Jari-chan @Sweetkokoro Oh, I love The Sisters! I'd recommend starting with the Novella by Danie Ware. You get a good insight into the Warhammer universe and the Sisters as well. (And it's such a good story!) 3w
Sweetkokoro Is Novella the name of the book by Danie Ware or is it a novella? There are so many books so I want to make sure I grab the right one 3w

Ground Zero of Trans Literature - that's what this book is called, and it totally fits.

It's an open and honest insight into life as a trans person, and all that comes with it. It's a messy book with a somewhat messy MC, but what do you expect, if you're living in a transphobic world as a trans person? Maria's thoughts and opinios were fascinating to read, and I hope that this book helped me understanding and relating a bit more.

This book crossed my way quite often, and now I finally got down to read it. Thanks, #queerbc ❤ I love reading books with trans MCs, even though I get so angry when reading about how trans people get treated. But to change that, we need more books with trans characters.

If you're listening to the audiobook, I recommend also listening to the interview at the end. Aiden and Avi have such a good chemistry ❤

Blue is for boys, pink is for girls. Girls like that, and boys like that. That's how it always was, and always will be.

Nope.

As writer Ravna Marin Siever states, gender stereotypes are potentionally deadly. They hurt us all. Cis people too. And of course all the children that can't find themselves inside the binary system.

It's time to finally time to break with these stereotypes. This book shows us how we all benefit and how it can be done.

Since I've finished my book for #BookishMonopoly yesterday evening, I made a new roll, and landed on “Chance“ again. So once again, I noted down all the books I have planned to read the next months and made a blind draw.

I got lucky, because I have planned Kelly anyway for later this month as part of my #roll100 rolls. Guess this book really wants to be read 😁

All the points for this book! At first I thought, this might not be for me. But Shafak was sneaky and got me hooked. Seriously, sometimes I got really, really angry. Sometimes I wanted to vomit. And sometimes I almost cried. The characters are amazing and diverse, of course I had a soft spot for Nostalgia Nalan. But also the setting of Istanbul is fascinating, the historical facts, the culture and so much more.

I hope there'll be more books with her. And yes, I would read a whole spin-off series about her! Cain is Cain, as always, and once again, I enjoyed Jurgen and the dynamics between them.

Not exactly the tagged book, but the third installment of the series.

Loved this volume just as much as the previous books. Pixie is a great and snarky narrator, a cat through and through. Lots of things to laugh about (eg. the way he describes the kiwi birds), but he also tells us about the negative things (colonisination, hunting...).

The pictures by Jonathan Petry are as amazing and stunning as always. Can't get enough of them!

Liked it, but not loved it. Maybe because the whole Prom Night Date isn't a thing in Switzerland (or at least wasn't when I went to school), so I couldn't really get the hype about it. But Liz is a great character and Leah Johnson wrote her really good. High potential of identification for younger readers. The message this book sends is great and so, so important!

For some reason I just read it shortly after “Wandering Stars“, those books might have been calling me. Darcie Little Badger addresses another target audience, so the story has another narrative tempo, but just as much information about the Indigenious culture. So impressive!

I remember being impressed by There, There, but rarely remember it. Still, I wanted to read this one as well. And I'm glad I did, because it's so important to remember what Europeans did to Indigenious people all over the world. That colonization is not over and done, that it still lives on from generation to generation. Therefore, it's so important that we read those books and listen to what their authors have to tell us.

Bookbuyingaddict Why do people do that ? 😨it‘s like all the non readers giving j k Rowling books 1 star or rotten reviews because she defended her own sex , and now she‘s been vindicated after mis prescribing hormonal puberty blockers were given to children who were “unsure” and had their lives ruined , doctors now struck off in the uk. Why is it we demonise those who dare to speak out , and why now all the hatred & violence towards girls & women 😢 (edited) 2mo
Jari-chan @Bookbuyingaddict Her books don't deserve 1 star ratings because they are good and got so many people into reading. But what Rowling says about trans people is just not true and makes living for them even more difficult. Puberty blockers and hormone therapy can save lives and are needed by those people. Trans women are women and trans men are men. 2mo

I somewhere stumbled upon this at some point and it just fitted a challenge prompt, so I went into this without really knowing anything about this book. And yes, at the beginning it has some strong SoG vibes and some things might go to easy, but the characters simply deserve this. Next to the scenes that made my heart overflow, Massey addresses some heavy topics (homophobia, ableism, mental health...). There's also a cute GSD and a lovely cat.

I do adore Charlie Jane Anders as a person, but her books don't seem to be mine? 🤷 The message in this is great and to me totally clear, but I felt weirdly distant. I couldn't really imagine the Gelet, and the book should have been split in a trilogy imo. Couldn't understand many of the characters decisions either...
