Rapture | Emily Maguire
post image
Pickpick

It‘s like a biblical Slumdog Millionaire, with a more reluctant (and regretfully horny) heroine. My trust in Maguire was well placed, as I found myself fascinated and eager to read more all the way through Rapture. So, even if it doesn‘t sound like your type of book, I encourage you to give it a go regardless. Full review: https://keepingupwiththepenguins.com/rapture-emily-maguire/

CarolynM On my #10BeforeTheEnd list, so I‘ll read it soon. Looking forward to it, I really liked her last one. 5h

Orpheus created the machines his best friend used to take over the world. When that gets him exiled, & he sees the damage he‘s wrought, he chooses to do what he can to repair the world.

This was a fascinating mix of post apocalyptic, science fiction, & fantasy! There‘s some really great world building & some interesting characters, but everything ended up feeling rushed, especially the romance, & the ending was too abrupt.🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑

Welp.. I still think I can probably finish the #10beforetheend #tenbeforetheend - but I had to replace 2. I think I‘ve read all the cozies I can read this year, save maybe 1 more if I need to for #cbbc #coffeebeanbookclub

Reading the tagged. It‘s good. I can tell. But the last several cozies have dragged for me & I think it‘s because I need… let‘s say, less predictability. So. 2 cozies replaced with: The Unraveling & The City In Glass.

🤞🏼🤞🏼

Avanders *** just uncovered my Christmas books… may need to make further adjustments. 😎 7h

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

Soft pick. Targeted at straight couples but there was some interesting bits I got out of this as a single queer woman.

IFS is all about finding the parts of you that are hurt from previous experiences and the protector parts that defend them. It works to calm the protectors and soothe the hurt parts to facilitate better communication with your partner.

Recommended by my therapist, I think it was worth a read.

I am switching to the fourth book for #10beforetheend this weekend.

The Underground Railroad has been fantastic so far and deeply moving, but I just can't with any more white supremacist filth this week, even in a book like this. 💔💔 I will return to it soon.

@ChaoticMissAdventures

ChaoticMissAdventures I am also struggling with a book that is hitting too close to home this week. Got to find those more hopeful and escapist ones. 15h
Balibee146 @ChaoticMissAdventures it's so hard. I'm in the UK, I can't begin to imaging how decent people in the US are feeling right now 🙏🙏 15h

Happy Friday! Finished the last 1:10:00 of the tagged book to kick off #36by36. I‘m glad I read this rec. I related to it so much. If you‘re a fellow chronic overthinker, this book will make you feel less crazy.

Going to try to even out my reading by format Print/Kindle/Audio, but we will see how it goes, as I‘m a mood reader through and through 😅 #10BeforeTheEnd #NFN #ReadAway2024

ChaoticMissAdventures ✅ over thinkers unite! I need to add this to my list! 2d

Magical artifacts are going missing, & the bodies start dropping. Velma‘s detective work for the Muses is put to the rest when she has to chase down a mysterious organization w/ plans for destruction.

A return to the world of The Conductors & I couldn‘t be happier! Glover‘s historical work is wonderful. It‘s fascinating to see the evolution of the magic, bad ass lady pilots, a mystery, a road (plane) trip, & a surprise little romance! 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

Book 2/10 for #10BeforeTheEnd
I was marked at “several months” on Libby for this hold when it surprisingly came through the other day. 🙌 I think this book is worth the hype, I really loved it. I think a lot of ppl are intimidated by the long trigger warning list for list one. But I think this book is on the same level as Butcher and Blackbird. Josh is the most cinnamon roll of Dark Romance MMCs IMO. 🥰🔪 #SeriesLove2024 #ReadAway2024
