WAIT what if aled was “replaced” with isaac because there’s going to be a movie of radio silence?? so alice oseman wanted aled to be an exclusive character to radio silence if it became a movie. i don’t know if this is stupid but i just really want a radio silence movie. i haven’t read it yet but i know it’s going to be good because it’s alice oseman and everyone says it’s good.

what’s next on your tbr?
mine is radio silence by alice oseman.
i’m gonna say it… and the book gods can smite me for this and booktok and bookstagram may hunt me down if they wish but…
A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder (Holly Jackson) was mid (imo.)
like it wasn’t BAD per se, it was a good book. but it was. nowhere near all the hype and boosting it received, and definitely not good enough for the tv series that’s been recently announced.
i may finish the series, may not. we’ll see 🤷
again, this is an ✨opinion✨ so don’t come at me for it, people are allowed to have opinions (shocking, ik)
TMA book rec for The Flesh
In this dystopian horror novel, animals around the globe have been infected with a deadly virus, leaving their meat contaminated and inedible. In the absence of these animals and their meat, the government has sanctioned cannibalism (though it’s taboo to refer to it as such). Meat processing plants become human processing plants and humans are bred and slaughtered like cattle. Follow Marcos, a manager of one of these plants, as he is gifted a human bred for the slaughter and is forced to face the inhumanity of this new world, with a plot twist that will leave you throwing this book across the room.
i thought this book suited The Flesh very well in highlighting the fact that we are no different from the animals we eat. after all…
meat is meat.
jack edwards saying he’s only watching the olympics, not because he cares about sport. but, because of the hot athletes, is so real.
Book Recommendations <3
So this book is an historical romance and mystery novel with a strong female main character, and if you want more book boyfriends and girlfriends to add to your collection then you need to read it and share who your newest obsession is.
There are bushrangers, a murder mystery, a slow burn love story, and heaps of suspense.
It's called Among The Grey Gums and it's by an Australian author that is probably one of the sweetest people you'll ever meet (my favourite non-biological family member).
Unfortunately the book hasn't sold enough copies yet and she now has to look for a new publisher, if you are interested in the genre and want to support a small author I urge you to buy a copy of her works. Among The Grey Gums is her second book and it has gotten me into the Historical fiction genre.
PS. There's no spicy scenes :)
PSPS. Here's where to get the audiobook (there's a huge sale at the moment): https://amzn.asia/d/3deqWvE
Edit: I forgot to mention - there's an adult puppy
On book 2 of memories of Ice and every time the K'Chain Che'Malle are present I'm having the time of my life. These things are so cool and so scary and I'm here for it
Hell is a teenage girl
oh how i wish to be reading all day long but instead i have to revise
I find it super weird how normal it is for grown ass people to describe sex scenes between teens in their books. I don't want to be the morality police here, but like, would it kill you to age em up a bit?
I don't know if this is still a thing in YA books (I think the very popular series fourth wing has 20 year olds which is fine) but the books I enjoyed as a teen were filled with steamy/suggestive scenes between teens. And like. I mean why are you as a 36 year old woman writing about 16 year olds fucking. It's weird. Make them 20 or 21. If you want your character to be in their teens, describe sex in a way that isn't crass. I think Cassandra clare's way of handling it is especially weird, how she'll publish little extra hot sex scenes that arent in the book. Like dude theyre 16. I just hate they're sexualizing teens for a profit.
And look, I get it, I was 16 too once and I wanted to read about other 16 year olds like me having sex, its natural, but I still think that ......... idk.....its weird. If someone has a better counterargument Im all ears. I would love to know somebody else's opinion on this
Also disclaimer I know its not just the YA industry that profits off sexualizing teens, it's the entertainment industry as a whole.
I'm on chapter 51 of maze runner. This shit just keeps getting better. (Don't give me spoilers please). Oh also I'm gonna get the other books because I've got enough pocket money.
on chapter 360 of maze runner
SPOILER WARNING!
Ok so some shit happened and they escaped. Chuck's death didn't phase me at all for whatever reason because I have a feeling there will be more deaths. Oh crap my screen is falling off my tablet lmao- anyways there's something called The Flare and it's a virus or something. Maybe there's a pandemic? That seems kinda scary but I'm desensitised to pandemics lol. I just hope Newt doesn't die.
I finished reading maze runner!!!
My maze runner post got 14 reposts. Thanks guys. Anyway I finished reading the first maze runner book! What's up with WICKED? I trust them for some reason because of the whole "WICKED is good" thing. Also I don't trust the people from the bus AT ALL. Like where'd they take the gladers??? I forgot to read the part at the very end (it either said prologue or epilogue I can't remember) but that probably would've revealed some stuff. Oh well. If any of you guys know which order to read the maze runner books in please let me know. Also What's crank palace? Do I have to read that book to understand the plot? If any of you guys know let me know please.
Read my dystopian story here!
