“This was fresh, rich, heavenly, succulent, soft, creamy, kiss-my-ass, cows-gotta-die-for-this, delightfully salty, moo-ass, good old white folks cheese, cheese to die for, cheese to make you happy, cheese to beat the cheese boss, cheese for the big cheese, cheese to end the world, cheese so good it inspired a line every first Saturday of the month”
A cheesy #SundaySentence from Deacon King Kong by James McBride
As the harbor explodes before me,
I glance back at David,
his face lit by the orange glow
of the shooting flames.
Before the curse can claim us,
David takes my hand, and we run.
Hallo, shop! Yesterday I didn't much care for 'The Cartographers', but today you can read about why I LOVED Starling House, by Alix E Harrow, on Nerds of a Feather!
Look, just do what the nice sentient house wants, all right?
@ergative@bookstodon That just arrived late last week and I just want to say ‘honeysuckle?!? SEYMOUR IS HONEYSUCKLE???” Which tells you where I’m at.Thanks for the review copy @torbooks aka Macmillan Aus.
Recently finished "Not A Good Fit At this Time" by Adam Hulse and had a blast with it. Check out my Goodreads review for details but fans of horror, science fiction, and dark fantasy should absolutely give it a read!
I started Katherine Addison (Sarah Monette)'s 'Melusine' yesterday, stayed up late reading, and got up early to finish it this morning. I was utterly engrossed. Enthralled. Captivated.
I also read several 1* reviews on Goodreads and, to be honest, I kind of agree with them all.
I still bought the other three in the series, though.
Happy 2nd day of #DecRecs to those who celebrate! Today's recommendation is 'Even Though I Knew The End', by C. L. Polk. A thoughtful, wistful Chicago noir about a supernatural detective making deals with demons to sell (or redeem) her soul. Wonderful setting, clothes, mood, vibes; and a bittersweet approach to demon bargains that feels more real, somehow, than more traditional tales of this nature.
Good morning, @bookstodon , just popping in to remind you that 'The Betrayals' by Bridget Collins is FUCKING BRILLIANT.
(Still only half done, but I have never resented needed to go to work as much as I do this morning.)
A town laden with mystery
and cursed by dark history
appears peaceful by day
until the cursed ones play
with the inhabitants' lives
like bears attacking bee hives.
