LdyEnki Reads Anger Is A Gift Chapters 7 And 8

LdyEnki reads Anger is a Gift Chapters 7 and 8

The continuing adventures of LdyEnki being unprepared for Mark Oshiro’s “Anger is a Gift”. 

Chapter 7:

Well that happened sooner than I expected it to.  That was intense.  The call is knocking on your door Moss.

Chapter 8:

Much needed release.  I love the detail of Moss’s dad bringing home stray furniture.

That last line of the chapter has me very worried.  Please don’t let that be foreshadowing.  Mark don’t do that to us.  I am now very concerned for Moss’s mother.

Chapters 1 and 2 are here.

Chapters 3 and 4 are here.

English loves to stay out all night dancing with other languages, all decked out in sparkling prepositions and irregular verbs. It is unruly and will not obey—just when you think you have it in hand, it lets down its hair along with a hundred nonsensical exceptions.

Oh this is awesome.  Beautiful art!  I just read the first book and loved it.  These drawings are so expressive and really capture the characters.

September, Saturday and the Marquess from Catherine’s M. Valente’s The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland Series.(Probably my all time Favorite book series tbh)

A day late, but I love this. Percy, Nancy and Alex are wonderful and I hope to get to know the other characters as well.

Feel free to tell me about your favorite book/author/characters/etc if you wish, totally gush about books, I am here to listen.

Btw, do you know any of the characters above?

where a little old lady owns a bodega and her customers are frequently vigilantes, anti-heros and morally ambiguous mutants and phd students. and they are all sweet as pie to her. they listen to her talk about her grandchildren and her cat. these hardened criminals become the sweetest ppl with mrs. lo who gets help stocking her shop by like someone who has no qualms hanging a drug dealer out a window. 

so like mrs. lo’s shop is on an unwritten list of places that aren’t robbed. until like some super-villain has the gall to have a throwdown in mrs. lo’s neighbourhood and now the hero has a group of lawless vigilantes showing up to help them just because mrs. lo is in the hospital with a broken arm. and like two of the most sinister vigilantes are now running her shop for her while she recuperates 

“so who do i have to kill?”

“what, they eat planets whole -”

“so i need a bigger gun, fine, lemme call some people”

“what the fuck-”

“hey, language, kids play in this street. i thought you were a hero”

Yes. This is 100% me.
