Emmalita September 23, 2023 at 1:17 am on Hi, Goldbug…wherever you are.Congratulations on being an empty nester. Your review is lovely. I remember reading this as a child (I learned to read at a freakishly early age), and reading to friends' kids as an adult. They are such great books because...
Oswald September 22, 2023 at 5:15 pm on A must read for anyone who doesn’t want their cat’s soul poisoned by the liberal mediaWhat is the book actually about? Like what are the contents of the book? What are the words actually written pertaining to?
Malin September 22, 2023 at 12:27 pm on “I am done living in a world where women are lied to about their bodies; where women are objects of sexual desire but not subjects of sexual pleasure; where sex is used as a weapon against women; and where women believe their bodies are broken, simply because those bodies are not male. And I am done living in a world where women are trained from birth to treat their bodies as the enemy.”This book (and Nagoski's book on stress) has been on my TBR list for a really long time. I've only read the romance duology she wrote under the name Emily Foster (I remember both books as being very good, if...

And I am done living in a world where women are trained from birth to treat their bodies as the enemy.”Thanks for pushing through and writing the review. I've been curious about Emily's writing for some time now and now you've pushed me to add her booth to my tbr. Fun fact, I am a Con friend of Emily's husband,...
Beth September 19, 2023 at 11:12 pm on What Did I Just Read?Hey Teri, Pretty sure Apollo's mom killed his dad when she came home and found him trying to drown Apollo in hot water in the bathtub. I get the reference of when she first tells him his dream was really...
Beth September 19, 2023 at 11:09 pm on What Did I Just Read?I too wondered what the significance of the "death" by boiling water/attempted drowning in boiling water connection was, as well as the memory of the Apollo's dad being blue and taking off his skin. Anybody got insights? Overall liked the...
ingres77 September 19, 2023 at 8:32 pm on Trigger warning. Also, spoilers.I can't fault your at all for avoiding the book. Understand completely. There's a Jane Austen collection on Audible that has (I think) all her books. I'll give it a shot when I've finish the book I'm currently working on....
Teri September 19, 2023 at 5:33 pm on What Did I Just Read?Thanks for the great review. I'm disappointed that nothing comes of the Ugandan heritage because it seems like a lot of work went into that setup. Also, does nothing come of the constant reference to the god Apollo? Why did...
narfna September 19, 2023 at 12:37 pm on Trigger warning. Also, spoilers.Yes, Persuasion would be great! It's shorter, too.
Malin September 19, 2023 at 4:50 am on Trigger warning. Also, spoilers.Excellent review. I still have no wish to ever read this book, the subject matter has always repulsed me, and I simply don't care all that much about ticking 'great works of literature' off a list anymore if I know...
Kairy September 19, 2023 at 4:16 am on What Did I Just Read?Okay . . .
Rahali September 19, 2023 at 2:28 am on What Did I Just Read?Ok Kairy, you Betta get into it.
ingres77 September 18, 2023 at 11:58 pm on Trigger warning. Also, spoilers.I'll check out that book, thanks!. Getting background really helped with Lolita, so maybe it'll help me with Jane Austen.
narfna September 18, 2023 at 11:30 pm on Trigger warning. Also, spoilers.You do have to learn how to read her. I think I tried two or three times to read Pride and Prejudice before it stuck, and then I fell in love forever. You might try to trick your brain by...
ingres77 September 18, 2023 at 11:25 pm on Trigger warning. Also, spoilers.I really, really do. And I don't even have no excuse. I've tried a bunch of times, it's just never clicked with me (yet).
ingres77 September 18, 2023 at 11:21 pm on Trigger warning. Also, spoilers.Oh, I agree completely on that Vanity Fair quote. Especially with it being plastered all over the place. My only point was that it doesn't appear, to me at least, that he's arguing specifically that the book is the best...
Emmalita September 18, 2023 at 6:05 pm on CBR15 Bingo: On the RoadI love these books so much and I'm glad they were a balm for your soul as well.
Emmalita September 18, 2023 at 6:03 pm on CBR15 Bingo: On the RoadI looked at her website, and she does say close family. She also says something will be coming out soon that was in the works before this bereavement.
Emmalita September 18, 2023 at 5:51 pm on I’m just gonna gush effusively for a couple hundred wordsI did not realize this was a fantasy series. Added to me TBR.
narfna September 18, 2023 at 12:54 pm on Trigger warning. Also, spoilers.Oh, also, dude. You need to read Jane Austen.
narfna September 18, 2023 at 12:52 pm on Trigger warning. Also, spoilers.That Vanity Fair quote is bullshit in any light, IMO. And Gregor von Rizzori was up his own butt. That podcast sounds so interesting! Well written or not (and I've read the book, though it was a long time ago)...

narfna September 18, 2023 at 12:25 pm on Adventure! True love! Sex with monkeys!"Candide sees two naked women being chased and nipped at by monkeys, so he plays the hero and shoots the beasts, only to have the young ladies dissolve in tears because the monkeys were their lovers." what
narfna September 18, 2023 at 12:20 pm on CBR15 Bingo-Week 11 Check-inDamn, he looks good in a sweater.
narfna September 18, 2023 at 12:20 pm on CBR15 Bingo: On the RoadAgreed on all counts! I didn't know she was on hiatus, and it must have been someone really close to her if it's affecting her writing that much 🙁 I'm hoping she will eventually come back to this series, because...
