6/10/2023 0 Comments Slimer by Harry Adam KnightDown on his luck, alcoholic private investigator Ed Causey is hired by the sister of one of the victims to get to the bottom of it all, and Causey soon uncovers a conspiracy involving local drug lords and a corrupt surgeon.ĭoesn't seem very scary, does it? That's because it's not, really, though there is one worm that's slowly growing to gigantic proportions in the London Sewers (one of the victims had thrown up in the toilet before dying). Various people in London are ending up dead, with their insides devoured by larger-than-normal parasitic worms. I started reading this one right away upon it's arrival, and while it wasn't nearly on the same level as the aforementioned, it was still a decent little time-waster.Īs opposed to the non-stop horror of Slimer, Worm takes the form of a detective/police procedural novel. After having been very impressed by Harry Adam Knight's* Slimer last week, I immediately ordered a couple more books of his.

There was another writer aside from James that has their main MC just utterly incapable of fighting off their libido. I loved the dedication and extreme love between Kate and her men, without it being cliche or too lovey-dovey and the narration really exuded that emotion and portrayal. A couple moments I had to pause because it just hit me right in the feels. The emotion that was in this finale was spectacular. In terms of the narration, this was just as spot on as the others. I am so happy Tate went in this direction, I love her muse and hope it doesn't stop on this contemporary train!! See a lot of love comments, I could ramble on all day haha. I loved how Tate opened it up for a future spinoff or two. It made for some mindf-^& moments, but I was happy about every single one of them haha. I liked that we couldn't figure out who the stalker was 100% and we had no clue about Hades haha. I loved every minute of it (even with the cliffhangers and all the heart palpitating moments hahaha). Thank you Tate for writing this gritty, hilarious, and sexy RH contemporary series. I cannot say enough good things about this series. The twists and turns in this series kept me on my toes. I love this series so much, definitely going to be at or above Kit Davenport in my top 10 RH series. I sped read through it because of how we were left in book 3. I am not going to give away any spoilers, but all I can say is I am already wishing I made Kate last longer haha. 6/9/2023 0 Comments Bob woodward new bookRage draws from hundreds of hours of interviews with firsthand witnesses, as well as participants’ notes, emails, diaries, calendars and confidential documents.

"In the '90s I had a car crash," she said. Kim Fox actress Tameka Empson also appeared on the episode, and spoke about how her character's behaviour following her recent car crash has reflected her own experiences. She's come running to me, hugged me – bear in mind I looked awful because I'd just been crying the scene before. In a vacuum, the Recorder would fold itself repeatedly like a fan, then built a microthin film around itself, to protect it and contain it so it would not spontaneously unfold. The Recorder virus turned into the Descolada due to cosmic radiation. "I was very, very lucky to work with Rita," she said. The Descolada (Portuguese for un-gluer) was a superintelligent, highly destructive virus on the planet of Lusitania.

Their natural reaction, of course, is one of shock and disgust. Indeed, many citizens – including children – do visit the suffering child. The citizens of Omelas can visit the room where this child is locked away and bear witness to its tortured, isolated existence. The precise reasons for this setup are not explained, but that is somewhat irrelevant what matters is the philosophical and ethical implications of the thought experiment: does the extreme happiness of an entire city justify the extreme suffering of a single being, which is necessary to maintain that happiness? If the child were granted freedom and relief from its suffering, the prosperity of Omelas would wither away. This particular short story (which you can read here) describes the utopian city of Omelas, whose idyllic nature depends on the continual imprisonment, torture, suffering, and dehumanisation of a single child.

And let’s not forget about the romance, which is part and parcel of the story. If you are anything like me, you will be fighting the urge to flip ahead and see if everything works out okay. Action, suspense, and deception are added the mix, giving rise to a number of heart-pounding scenes. From there on out, the plot only gets better. In short, The Bridge Kingdom checks all of the boxes for a riveting read.įrom its very first sentence, The Bridge Kingdom draws you in with a visually enticing description, and it secures its hold on your attention with a jaw-dropping moment at the close of the opening chapter. Not only does it have a well-penned romance, but it also features lifelike characters and a richly imagined world. How are more people not talking about this book? It is one of the best fantasy romances that I have read in quite some time. TLDR: Do you like slow-burn romances? Enemies-to-lovers trope? World building? If yes, stop what you’re doing, and add this book to your reading list. 6/8/2023 0 Comments Play the Piano Drunk Like a Percussion Instrument Until the F... by Charles BukowskiHe wanted his dimwitted son to emulate these things so that he would grow up to be a Jew who could “afford any car on the lot, should he so desire.” Sadly, this did not have the intended effect, in the end, all it did was alienate father and son, and push young Charles into a bottle. The older Bukowski equated American success to being motivated, educated, and cunning a group of traits that he did not himself have. Charles's father was often out of work, but he was a stern man who would often beat Charles for not having gumption (where work ethic was concerned) or for getting bad grades in school. There, they enrolled young Charles in school and began a long series of financial ups and downs that would shape how Charles would feel about his father for the rest of his life. Upon reaching America, they languished in Baltimore until they could again raise enough cash to move to Los Angeles. He later chickened out.īorn in Germany in the 1920s, his parents soon grew tired of being poor and unwashed, so they soon scraped up enough money to take a boat to the United States. During his younger years, Bukowski claims to be a Nazi. |
