I hope December has been good to all of you!

I‘ve been soooo sick all December!! I just got better almost a week ago. I had COVID and then a gas intoxication! I cleaned the fridge and got a hammer 🔨 to get rid of some ice. Terrible decision!! I didn‘t know the noise coming out of the fridge was gas a gas leak, so I stayed there and inhaled it all. It leaked three times with a long persistent deflating noise like a balloon would sound like.

JudeCC I got intoxicated so badly. I almost died. Couldn‘t breathe, move because of exhaustion & massive pain, even my fingers smelled like gas. I had vomiting, diarrhea. My socks stick to the sole of my feet! My body was trying to detox and I didn‘t even know what was happening to me! I was literally dying. God is good and faithful cause I made it through. 🙏 (edited) 3mo
JudeCC Never ever clean your fridge and never with a hammer. Lesson learned!!

Love you all so much. Have a happy new year!!

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I like the prompts this year, but I'm reading fewer books these days. I've been slowly chipping away at the #192025 challenge that ends on Dec 31, 2025 (or I'll declare it's a #192026 challenge) so I'm going to start the year with a focus on that challenge. Once Popsugar and Read Harder come out, I'll pick from one of the three to try to finish, as well, and plug in selections that apply to the others and see how far I get. 4mo

Watch Over Me | Nina LaCour
post image
Pickpick


@PuddleJumper
Watch Over Me 5⭐️
This book is a contemporary gothic story with a touch of magical realism. It‘s all about grief, mental health & learning to face your demons—literal & figurative. Nina LaCour is the queen of crafting stories that are as heartbreaking as they are healing. She nails it here again. 👇
#queerbc #watchoverme
#challenge #reads #book #readerscommunity #ninalacour #bestbook2024

JudeCC The writing is gorgeous, pulling you into the remote, foggy setting of the farm. Everything felt so vivid. The characters feel so real, and their struggles are written in a way that makes you feel everything right along with them. That‘s exactly what I look for in any story I pick up from LaCour. 4mo
JudeCC Mila‘s journey, especially as she confronts her own ghosts, was incredibly powerful and kept me glued to the pages.

It‘s not a horror story, so it didn‘t scare me, but it did have a subtle mystery that kept me hooked. The ending was so worth it—everything came together beautifully.
4mo
JudeCC If you‘re into gothic vibes, emotional depth, and stories about resilience, this is a must-read. Nina LaCour is one of my favorite authors, and I can‘t wait to pick up more of her work. She never fails to deliver.

This book is an intriguing exploration of grief. While it‘s marketed as humor, I personally didn‘t find it all that funny. It still has a charm to it. The author took a highly original approach to presenting themes of loss and healing.
The interactions between Alice & Ben, the unusual circumstances of their annual meetings, are very heartfelt & I enjoyed reading through them. It felt very authentic and touching.
Keep reading 👇
#netgalley

JudeCC Though this wasn‘t entirely my cup of tea in tone, the writing was strong, and I appreciated the fresh perspective the author brought to the subject of coping with loss. For a debut novel, it‘s really impressive, and I‘d gladly read more from this author in the future. #gravetalk 4mo
JudeCC I‘d recommend this book to anyone looking for a reflective yet lighthearted take on grief and the unexpected ways we find connection and healing. 4mo

This book is a thought-provoking exploration of humanity, technology & the blurred lines between the two. The relationship between Liv & Breck is compelling. The self-awareness journey had me questioning the ethics of AI & what it truly means to be “real.” The pacing is intense. The countdown to the contest‘s end adds urgency to every page. A great read that lingers in your mind long after the last page.
Keep reading in comments.

JudeCC I recommend to anyone who‘s into sci-fi & AI epidemics in books.

I found this book to be very useful to the writing community. It's full of worksheets, examples, valuable information & tips to make our lives easier. As a writer myself it's a challenge for me to network. That's not my forte.
This book is filled with all the information you need to start ticking boxes and being able to train yourself to network & lose the fear once & for all.
Thanks for sharing this gem with us. Keep empowering writers out there.

Unfortunately this book wasn't for me. I struggled to stay engaged in the story. I found the writing to be quite amateur & in need of revision. Many details were unnecessary & distracted me from the main story. People who don't understand Northern English words/slang won't be able to read it. It limits the audience.
The premise was good but the execution lacked in many ways.

This book is a piece of art. It's full of detailed & beautiful illustrations & organized as a precious timeline about the historical events that shaped the world of botany. What kept me from giving a 5 star rating is that's only concentrated on the history of it instead of botany, which was the main reason for me reading this book. Nonetheless, it's a must read for those of you who love to learn about this topic. #TheBotanistsLibrary #NetGalley

GEEZ! At LAST!!
After 199 pages we finally get a little bit of action. I hate when slowburns take SO long. C‘mon! It was a good scene. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Clean & sweet. Not too crazy or overboard. Just nice. I would rate the smut in this book so far as a 🌶️🌶️.

Does it gets better than this? Or was that bit the best part?

Drop Dead Sisters | Amelia Diane Coombs
post image
Pickpick

I loved the MC‘s inner voice. It‘s sarcastic and funny and when it‘s not, you can relate to her pain and struggles.
I loved the interactions between the sisters. Their differences and relationship with each other. How they view each other. The way the author let us perceive their life in relationships with the MC was brilliant because you could actually feel what she was going through at the moment. And it was all relatable and believable.
Read👇

JudeCC ⚠️ Trigger Warning: attempted rape and vivid descriptions of panic attacks.

The mystery regarding a dead body was well written. I loved the way it brought the sisters together while keeping realistic and not sugarcoating any bit of it. They still clashed and was the perfect opportunity for the author to bleed each character.
4mo
JudeCC I also loved how the MC talked about panic attacks. It was well executed by the author, very accurate and it resonated with me.
This was a new author for me and a fun refreshing read.

This book is a treat!
It's all about secrets & keeping those you love safe. What life's about, or should be.
It was my first time reading a book by this author and I'm hooked. Her writing style is flawless. I could see and feel every word she wrote. I was invested in the characters since the beginning and I was left thinking about them whenever I had to put the book down.

*Keep Reading in the comments below!

#NetGalley #TheHushed

JudeCC I found the story to be unique, full of action, the right amount of romance and even though it was heart wrenching sometimes, I couldn't get enough of it. The ending was great. I really would have loved the story to continue. I felt as if it was a little too soon or too easy maybe, but other than that, I loved the book.
I'll definitely read more of this author.

Today we finished reading this gem of a book. It was beautiful, whimsical & full of magic. I felt like a kid again, letting my imagination run & laughing with all the silliness & crazy adventures the characters experienced. I definitely recommend this book. Beware: this book could be considered as banned nowadays since certain terminology has changed its meaning through the decades. Also, some cultural aspects may clash.
Overall, a must read!

I devoured this book! 4⭐️
This guide is great for beginners & an amazing tool for the experienced. The techniques & tricks he shares are easy to understand. He is very honest & doesn't sugarcoat anything. Knowing it's okay to make mistakes makes a difference.
I loved the detailed examples with photos on how to achieve certain illusions. Undoubtedly a great book to own even if you are not a cosplayer.

TieDyeDude This reminds me of Face Off; one of the few reality/competition shows I've ever watched, and one of my all-time favorite shows. They would do some absolutely amazing things with make-up and fabrications. Not much of the show is streaming, but there are a few seasons on Netflix and Peacock. 4mo

USHERS
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Two detectives interview a man who allegedly saved two women from a deadly accident.
From the moment the story begins the reader is wondering if the man is lying to them or if indeed he knows what really happened earlier.
👇 Keep reading…

JudeCC Joe Hill knows how to keep you invested till the end. I loved the vivid description of the USHERS and how they operate. The dialogue and characters were believable and the ending was perfect. I would have loved to read a longer version of this story for sure.
I really enjoyed this book and would recommend to lovers of thrillers and horror without the gore and explicit content of it.

I really enjoyed this graphic novel. It was my first time reading this author and I‘m not disappointed. This book is beautifully written and full of emotions. It‘s a story that needs to be told and it‘s written from the point of view of the characters who are going through all the pain and hardships in their lives since they were very very young. A story that sometimes is full of hope and sometimes so heartbreaking.

👇 keep reading in comments

JudeCC The author manages to keep us interested in what‘s happening to the MC as the world around her changes. That‘s very important because it keeps us invested in the story.

I love the fact that at the end of the book there‘s a list of organizations for us to have a clear understanding of the situation in Japan which is the main theme of the story.
4mo
JudeCC I love the illustrations and the way the book is designed.

What kept this book from getting a five star rating for me is the fact that it could benefit from a slower pace for us to grasp when some of the changes occurred. Like for example, when time goes by and they grew up, or when they went into a flashback. Sometimes I got a little lost and had to re-read to make sense of it all.
4mo
JudeCC I‘m can‘t wait to read the second part of the story and for it to develop and see where the author takes us. I‘m hoping for a sense of belonging, for some hope and even a love interest somewhere along the way.

If you like reading contemporary stories full of emotions and realistic characters who will make your heart break when they are in need of a hug, then this one is for you.

Grab a copy!!
It‘ll be released on November 12.
