Fever House (Fever House, #1)

Keith Rosson

A small-time criminal. A has-been rock star. A shadowy government agency. And a severed hand whose dark powers threaten to destroy them all. When leg-breaker Hutch Holtz rolls up to a rundown apartment complex in Portland, Oregon, to collect overdue drug money, a severed hand is the last thing he expects to find stashed in the client’s refrigerator. Hutch quickly realizes that the hand induces uncontrollable madness: Anyone in its proximity is overcome with a boundless compulsion for violence. Within hours, catastrophic forces are set into motion: Dark-op government agents who have been desperately hunting for the hand are on Hutch’s tail, more of the city’s residents fall under its brutal influence, and suddenly all of Portland stands at the precipice of disaster. . . . But it’s all the same for Katherine Moriarty, a singer whose sudden fame and precipitous downfall were followed by the mysterious death of her estranged husband—suicide, allegedly. Her trauma has made her agoraphobic, shackled within the confines of her apartment. Her son, Nick, has moved home to care for her, quietly making his living working for Hutch’s boss. When Hutch calls Nick in distress, looking for someone else to take the hand, Katherine and Nick are plunged into a global struggle that will decimate the walls of the carefully arranged life they’ve built. Mother and son must evade both crazed, bloodthirsty masses and deceitful government agents while exorcising family secrets that have risen from the dead—secrets, they soon discover, that might hold the very key to humanity’s survival. Can you resist the hand? Find an excerpt from the next Fever House novel at the end of the book.

Which of your 'my taste' books is most likely to be dethroned in the next year or two?

And which is most likely to stay put?

For me,

Probably next to be dethroned: Bunny. Most likely to stay put: Fellowship of the Ring

(I'm too tired to offer an explanation for mine but, if anyone wants to share their reasons, I think that would be fun to read!)

So curious about everyone's predictions!

There Is No Antimemetics Division

qntm

An antimeme is an idea with self-censoring properties; an idea which, by its intrinsic nature, discourages or prevents people from spreading it.Antimemes are real. Think of any piece of information which you wouldn't share with anybody, like passwords, taboos and dirty secrets. Or any piece of information which would be difficult to share even if you complex equations, very boring passages of text, large blocks of random numbers, and dreams... But anomalous antimemes are another matter entirely. How do you contain something you can't record or remember? How do you fight a war against an enemy with effortless, perfect camouflage, when you can never even know that you're at war? Welcome to the Antimemetics Division. No, this is not your first day.This ebook is an official release by me, qntm from the SCP Foundation wiki! PM me if you require confirmation. This ebook collects all of my Antimemetics Division SCP-055, SCP-2256 and the complete serials There Is No Antimemetics Division and Five Five Five Five Five.

Off Script

Do you like it when audiobook narrators get so into character they go off script and add lines to the book to truly make said character believable?

I'm currently tandem reading an audiobook with the ebook, and I keep noticing the narrators are adding lines on occasion, or deviating from the book. And sure this is a bit odd choice, but it's kind of making the book better and truly bringing the characters personalities out too.

Audiobooks are a new thing for me this year so I'm not sure if this is normal. But it is now kind of making me think if the audiobooks I've listened have always had the books lines changed 🤣 I'm scared to check

The Demon Star

Jesse Aragon

Gods rule this planet. Demons stalk its canyons while Kings beg for mercy. Can three mere humans rewrite its destiny? The otherworldly religious conflict of Dune, the cosmic strangeness of Gideon the Ninth, and the heart-pounding action of Red Rising converge in this horror-tinged epic science fantasy debut. Ysira Naktis was a human sacrifice, marked for death. Unlike the thousands ‘harvested’ each year, though, she did the unthinkable. She survived—and what she brought back with her could change the fate of worlds. When Ysira’s estranged son is chosen to become the vessel of a god-killing demon, she is faced with a choice: allow him to harness cosmic power at an unspeakable cost, or doom millions to save him. She finds an unlikely ally in Brother Jacen Kheris, once a gifted exorcist, now a guilt-ridden addict, desperate for purpose. From a demon-haunted canyon to a starbound satellite, they must battle their way through cultists, aliens, and the gods themselves. The truths they unearth are deeper and more sinister than anything they could have imagined. In this cinematic thrill ride, Jesse Aragon plunges us into a world as intricate and inventive as it is brutal.

Middlemarch

George Eliot

"People are almost always better than their neighbours think they are" George Eliot’s most ambitious novel is a masterly evocation of diverse lives and changing fortunes in a provincial community. Peopling its landscape are Dorothea Brooke, a young idealist whose search for intellectual fulfillment leads her into a disastrous marriage to the pedantic scholar Casaubon; the charming but tactless Dr Lydgate, whose pioneering medical methods, combined with an imprudent marriage to the spendthrift beauty Rosamond, threaten to undermine his career; and the religious hypocrite Bulstrode, hiding scandalous crimes from his past. As their stories interweave, George Eliot creates a richly nuanced and moving drama, hailed by Virginia Woolf as "one of the few English novels written for grown-up people".

The Tapestry of Fate (Amina al-Sirafi, #2)

Shannon Chakraborty

New York Times bestselling author Shannon Chakraborty sets sail into the second adventure of pirate Amina al-Sirafi as her quest to track down magical artifacts brings her to the island lair of a sorceress whose woven enchantments are impossible to flee. Amina al-Sirafi thinks she’s struck gold. Tasked with hunting down arcane artifacts for the council of immortal peris, she can savor the occasional rollicking adventure on the high seas with her cherished criminal companions while still returning home to raise her beloved daughter, Marjana. But when Raksh, the spirit of discord with whom she is reluctantly wed, provokes the council’s wrath, Amina is charged with a seemingly impossible quest: steal a spindle capable of rewriting fate from a mysterious sorceress on an island no one can escape. Forced to leave Marjana—who is increasingly frustrated at being peddled what are clearly lies about her mother’s life and her own past—Amina finds her mission almost immediately thrown into peril. But deadly storms, an erratic poison mistress, and old enemies are the least of her worries. For the peris’ story is unraveling, hinting at a far deadlier game whose rules Amina must swiftly puzzle out. A game that sets her against an adversary more cunning and powerful than she has ever faced. A game that not everyone on her crew wants her to win.

How much do you spend on books a month?

I try to be as frugal as I can with my reading. I get most of my books from the library, I borrow books from friends/family, I buy second hand both from physical stores and sites like vinted/awesomebooks etc, and I recently got an ebook subscription service too.

That said, I still think I spend between £50-£100 on books each month. I do read quite a lot and would consider it my main 'hobby', but even so that's prolly a lil much.

How much would you estimate you spend on average? (pls make me feel better about myself)

Austen is always delightful. Of the five Austen novels I’ve read, this was my least favorite (but it was still good).

Steerpike7 finished a book

Sense and Sensibility

Jane Austen

Alternate cover edition of ISBN 9780141439662 'The more I know of the world, the more am I convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love. I require so much!' Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve, and when she falls in love with the dashing but unsuitable John Willoughby she ignores her sister Elinor's warning that her impulsive behaviour leaves her open to gossip and innuendo. Meanwhile Elinor, always sensitive to social convention, is struggling to conceal her own romantic disappointment, even from those closest to her. Through their parallel experience of love—and its threatened loss—the sisters learn that sense must mix with sensibility if they are to find personal happiness in a society where status and money govern the rules of love. This edition includes explanatory notes, textual variants between the first and second editions, and Tony Tanner's introduction to the original Penguin Classic edition.

For my fellow cozy gamers!

Ok so this is not a promotional thing I promise, but I found this video game that I’m currently obsessed with that I thought fellow bookworms might love too! It’s called Tiny Bookshop. You play as a small mobile bookshop owner and get to sell books every day to the local townspeople. You give specific book recommendations based on patrons’ requests and (my favorite part) you choose between an array of actual real life book titles. You also get to decorate your little shop based on the season and build community and relationships (nonromance) with the townspeople! 😊 Definitely big Stardew Valley vibes!

Anyway, I thought you guys might appreciate this game too! This game has not been helping my TBR but it has definitely been giving me dopamine. 😊
