Cbr16 Bingo: Part 2 19A by Toyourdetriment “Emotional availability is a skill. You, particularly you, can decide to learn it, if you want to.” In spite of the tone, it hits like a backhand to the jaw. He has learned bedside manner for a given definition of empathy. Allowed methodical and unsparing trauma therapists to rake him over the hot coals of his childhood for a decade. He is, in short, an entire and convincing machine of a person, whose inner child definitely wants to […]

18A By Toyourdetriment CBR16 Bingo: Part 1 Summary from the author: Ronan gets drunk at the JFK Chili’s. There’s an elf and anaphylaxis. Ronan hears a soft curse behind him. “Fine, yes, I’m a doctor, keep them upright, hold on.” He turns around and fucking elf prince Adam’s goddamn head of red dust fucking hair. Adam is a doctor.

Spoiler warning! This book is the third and final in the Dreamer trilogy, which in itself is a follow-up to the four-book Raven Cycle.

I’m going to be honest, while I normally love Stiefvater’s writing and willingly go along […]

This is NOT the place to start if you’re not caught up. Begin either with the start of this trilogy, Call Down the Hawk, or with the start of the previous series (in which Ronan is an essential character), The Raven Boys. This book kicks off a little while after the rather dramatic cliffhanger that the previous book left us with. Ronan and Hennessey are fugitives from the Moderators, learning new and helpful tricks to deal with their mysterious hunters from the enigmatic Bryde. According […]

#CBR12 Bingo: Orange (would also work for Fresh Start) This is the start of a new series, so it stands alone. You don’t have to have read Stiefvater’s Raven Cycle series, starting with The Raven Boys, but it gives a lot of useful background to Ronan and the other Lynch brothers.   Official book description: The dreamers walk among us . . . and so do the dreamed. Those who dream cannot stop dreaming – they can only try to control it. Those who are dreamed cannot have their […]
