I am posting one book per day from my extensive, and ever growing, TBR shelves. Some are old and some are new, some were gifts and some I don't remember why I bought them.

Most of my most anticipated books of 2023 come out in February! I mean these are the sequels I‘ve been waiting for! I started the #clunkster that is Chain of Thorns which came out yesterday but February is looking pretty brilliant. #serieslove2023

This was some bullshit. Set in three time periods, all of which sucked:

1012 — Mayan twelve year old twins have sex, give sexy enemas (Ew), cut, and get tortured.

2012 — Girl is “sex positive” somehow despite only having bad sex. Gets aroused by cave.

3012 — Written during the half hour between when no one heard of Latinx and when Latinx was offensive. In the future everything was Hermanix this and Ninx that. No book will ever be more dateable.

I‘m ambivalent overall on trigger warnings, but this book also has graphic pedophilia and incest, and there‘s no warning about that.

Also, all three (children having incestuous sex and cutting) are all presented in a positive light, which strikes me as possibly more upsetting than just that they are “depicted.”

Yossarian Oh, also human sacrifices. 2y
5feet.of.fury Yikes. 2y
RaeLovesToRead It's like having a label on American Psycho that says "may contain bad language" 2y
Yossarian @RaeLovesToRead Yep. Deciding to put a warning for one thing kind of implies that there‘s nothing else worth warning about. 2y
KathyWheeler I‘m also ambivalent about trigger warnings, but if I were to put some on this book, from the way you describe it, I‘d put ones for the pedophilia, human sacrifice, and incest before cutting. Crazy! (edited) 2y
