the girl with all the gifts

by m. r. carey

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - five stars

absolutely phenomenal story filled with hope, despair, laughter, pain and everything in between

everytime i thought i knew what was going to happen something else did instead, or it happened in an unexpected way

a haunting look into human survival, scientific discovery and the unstoppable force of nature

faithbreaker

by hannah kaner

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

5/5 stars

spoilers

what an end to an amazing series

i'm laughing, i'm crying, i'm wondering what will happen next

i liked the endings for each of the characters, i felt that it really completed their stories and i'm grateful they got to stick together in their found family, well sort of

the fleshing out of the characters in this book really deepened my enjoyment and i loved the characters so much already, i'm just sad it's over now

Among the Waves by Ivan Aivazovsky

[scottbaiowulf-deactivated201805]

Male writers writing female characters:

“Cassandra woke up to the rays of the sun streaming through the slats on her blinds, cascading over her naked chest. She stretched, her breasts lifting with her arms as she greeted the sun. She rolled out of bed and put on a shirt, her nipples prominently showing through the thin fabric. She breasted boobily to the stairs, and titted downwards.”

[m1ssc0mmun1cat10n]

‘ She breasted boobily to the stairs, and titted downwards’ is the greatest fucking sentence I have ever read.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

4/5 stars

there were parts of this that bored me i won't lie

but the story was so touching and heart wrenching that it pulled me in successfully

not the usual kind of book i'd read, only got it since i'll be seeing the film tomorrow, but i'm glad I read it

columba's bones

by david greig

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

5 stars

what a witty and heartwarming end to the year

a strangely lovely, funny look into a vicious part of scotland's island history and how it was shaped by the vikings and faith

breaking the dark

by lisa jewell

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

5/5 stars

i will admit it did take me a minute to get into this, but that's just because i don't usually read crime fiction

once i got into the tone of the book however, i couldn't put it down

this perfectly executed jessica jones' character perfectly, as well as a couple of other well-loved characters

the story felt like it could have easily taken place in the marvel universe; it was believable, well thought out, and full of intrigue

it makes me want to read more crime, and will make me look into more of lisa's books

all in all, an excellent story and experience

the gifts by liz hyder

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

this was an amazing book, would highly recommend to anyone who likes a bit of historical fiction with a wee sprinkling of fantasy, just to wet the palatte

[alanaisalive]

The other night husband and I were watching a documentary about the yeti where they were doing DNA analysis of samples of supposed yeti fur, and every one of them came back as bears.

Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.

So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.

Bears. They’re everywhere. Be wary. Anyone or anything could be a bear.

As the OP of this post, I’m going to threaten that if this gets to one million notes by the 10 year anniversary on 1 June 2026, one year from today, I will get a lower back tattoo of the loch ness bear monster.
