Men Who Hate Women

Laura Bates

The first comprehensive undercover look at the terrorist movement no one is talking about. Men Who Hate Women examines the rise of secretive extremist communities who despise women and traces the roots of misogyny across a complex spider web of groups. It includes eye-opening interviews with former members of these communities, the academics studying this movement, and the men fighting back. Women's rights activist Laura Bates wrote this book as someone who has been the target of many hate-fueled misogynistic attacks online. At first, the vitriol seemed to be the work of a small handful of individual men... but over time, the volume and consistency of the attacks hinted at something bigger and more ominous. As Bates went undercover into the corners of the internet, she found an unseen, organized movement of thousands of anonymous men wishing violence (and worse) upon women. In the book, Bates explores: Extreme communities like incels, pick-up artists, MGTOW, Men's Rights Activists and more The hateful, toxic rhetoric used by these groups How this movement connects to other extremist movements like white supremacy How young boys are targeted and slowly drawn in Where this ideology shows up in our everyday lives in mainstream media, our playgrounds, and our government By turns fascinating and horrifying, Men Who Hate Women is a broad, unflinching account of the deep current of loathing toward women and anti-feminism that underpins our society and is a must-read for parents, educators, and anyone who believes in equality for women.

Ghost Radio

Leopoldo Gout

Ghost Radio is a terrifying novel about a ghost-story call-in radio show that inadvertently opens a doorway into the paranormal, giving voice to the dead and instigating an epic battle for the souls of the living From the cramped bowels of a dimly lit radio station, Ghost Radio is beamed onto the airwaves. More than a call-in show to tell scary stories about vampires and poltergeists, Ghost Radio is a sanctuary for those sleepless denizens of the night, lost halfway between this world and the next. Joaquin, the hip, melancholy host, sits deep in a fog of cigarette smoke, fielding calls from believers and detractors alike. He is joined in the booth by his darkly beautiful girlfriend, Alondra, and his engineer, Watts. Soon what began as an underground cult sensation is primed to break out to mainstream audiences. When a huge radio conglomerate offers to syndicate the show and Ghost Radio becomes a national hit with an expanding legion of hardcore fans, neither Joaquin, Alondra, nor Watts is remotely prepared for what is about to happen. Though a charismatic host, Joaquin remains a skeptic even as he begins to notice a curious and troubling phenomenon—he feels himself drawn further and further into the terrifying stories he solicits on the radio. Slowly he loses control over his reality and finds himself unable to distinguish between the real world and the world populated by the nightmares on Ghost Radio. He is forced to confront his past and his own mortality in order to save that which is most precious to him and repair the crumbling wall between the living and the dead.

Reading Journal Ideas

Hey fellow bookies 🫶🏼 So I’m planning on creating a reading journal, since all journals I find online don’t seem to cover everything… I want to create it on Canva and definitely share it when it’s done. Maybe even put it on KDP one day. Tell me about your musts in a reading journal. Please, bookies, me all your ideas on them 😍

What should I do?

Hii everyone, I'm a darck romance reader, but I haven't read the classics such as "hunting Adeline" or the "Davils night" series. I have read books like the "Game of Gods" and "Heartless beloved". But I'm scared the first books are too dark. Am I right? Should I read them?.

Happy Ever After = Kids?

I‘m wondering if this is something that‘s only getting on my nerves.. I have the feeling, that the Happy Ever After for so many (dark) romance books contains a “three years later” where they suddenly have five are pregnant with kid number eleven.. or is it just the stuff that I read? This somehow triggers me more than all those triggers in the beginning of a book - as a happy child free person, who gets a lot of backlash from their surroundings about not planning on having kids. And while we’re already discussing: I’d love some good (dark) romance recommendations, without kids popping up in the end 😂 (I LOVE kids, btw. Just not planning on having my own. I’m a happy auntie.)

The Fabric of Our Souls

K.M. Moronova

I’m twenty-six years old, and I want to die. So when I wake up at the hospital with my brother weeping over me, I know my life is about to change. What I didn’t expect was to get a nurse with cruel eyes and a morbid sense of humor that surpasses my own. I’m even more surprised when I arrive at Harlow Sanctum and realize that my brother selected an unorthodox rehabilitation center that rooms people based on their treatment plan. And my roommate is none other than the man with cruel eyes I met the day prior. I crave death—he craves life. Can two people like us cure each other?Please check the CW on my website before

Now You're Mine (Possessing Her, #2)

Morgan Bridges

A conclusão da duologia Possessing Her, um verdadeiro fenómeno de popularidade no TikTok. Agora que és minha, tudo farei para te proteger. Hayden está convencido de que Calista corre perigo, e só essa ideia é o suficiente para o deixar (ainda mais) fora de si.

A ligação entre os dois é cada vez mais forte, mas Calista sabe que quanto mais se aproximar daquele homem, mais as coisas se poderão complicar.

The Awakening (Zodiac Academy, #1)

Caroline Peckham

You have been selected to attend Zodiac Academy, where your star sign defines your destiny. If you're one of the Fae, elemental magic is in your blood. And apparently it's in ours. As twins born in the month of Gemini, we're a rare breed even in this academy of supernatural a-holes. Changelings were outlawed hundreds of years ago but I guess our birth parents didn't get the memo. Which means we're totally unprepared for the ruthless world of Fae. Air. Fire. Water. Earth. No one has ever harnessed all four of them, until we arrived. And it hasn't made us any friends so far. As the rarest Elementals ever known, we're already a threat to the four celestial heirs; the popular, vindictive bullies who happen to be some of the hottest guys we've ever seen. It doesn't help that they're the most dangerous beasts in the Academy. And probably on earth too. Our fates are intertwined, but they want us gone. They've only got until the lunar eclipse to force us out and they'll stop at nothing to succeed. We never knew we had a birthright to live up to but now that we do, we intend to claim our throne. We can't expect any help from the faculty when it comes to defending ourselves. So if the dragon shifters want some target practice, the werewolves want someone to hunt or the vampires fancy a snack then we have to be ready. But we've been looking after each other for a long time and fighting back is in our blood. Today's horoscope: totally screwed.

Ein Buch, was meiner Meinung nach in die Schulen gehört! Wir leben in einer Welt, in der wir uns nicht mehr sicher sein können, was nun Fake oder bearbeitet oder aus dem Kontext gerissen ist, und was nicht. MUK hat hier wieder ein Meisterwerk geschaffen, in dem er Menschen die Augen öffnet. Was für mich zunächst als Unterhaltung angefangen hat, konnte ich plötzlich nicht mehr zur Seite legen. Man schließt dieses Buch ab mit einem mulmigen Gefühl im Magen. Denn das, was MUK beschreibt, ist schon lange nicht mehr Fiktion, sondern bittere Realität. Und zwar eine bittere Realität, der sich zu viele Menschen noch nicht bewusst sind. Deswegen muss Aufklärung her. Deswegen finde ich, sollte dieses Buch in Schulen besprochen werden. Ich werde mir die Zeit nehmen, es mit meinem Patenkind durchzuarbeiten. Nicht, weil ich Angst machen will - wir müssen keine Angst haben - sondern aufmerksam machen möchte. Wir müssen in unserer Gesellschaft kritischer mit Informationen umgehen. Und dieses Buch ist ein guter Schritt in die richtige Richtung! Achtung: nicht jeder wird sich mit den dargestellten Szenen wohlfühlen. Passt auf eure mentale Gesundheit auf!

Once You're Mine (Possessing Her, #1)

Morgan Bridges

Murder brought us together. Only death can keep us apart. The Tormentor: Calista belongs to me... she just doesn’t know it. The first time we met, I wanted her. The next time, I was obsessed. I watched her. I followed her. It only deepened my need to possess her. Once she's mine, I'm never letting her go. The Target: Hayden Bennett is a monster, in and out of the courtroom. Unfortunately, I need his help. What was supposed to be a simple transaction turns into something else. Something intense. He’s always there when I need him, but I don't know if trusting him is a good idea... Once You're Mine is Book 1 in the Possessing Her Duet that ends on a cliffhanger. It contains a morally gray hero that's OTT/JP, a stalker who falls first, has Touch Her & Die energy, and is willing to do whatever it takes to have her. (A complete list of the TWs can be found on the author's website)

Leave Me Behind

K.M. Moronova

Nell Gallows is the sole survivor of an elite dark forces squad, Riøt, after a detrimental attack two years ago. Unsurprisingly, she’s being put up as the top candidate for the special ops Malum. The squad that goes where no one else will or can. There’s only one Malum blames their one casualty from the Patagonia mission on the Riøt squad. So what is she to do when she finds herself on a plane to California and on her way to a sure death sentence? A one-night stand. At least, that’s all it was supposed to be—one last night to be free. Only, she finds out too late that the dark and mysterious man she solely wanted as a fling is not only her new comrade but also the one she dreaded meeting most—her immediate superior and untouchable devil in the field. Bones. He’s hell on earth—cruel and unforgiving, but most of all, he hates her, and he makes sure she knows it. And yet, she finds herself unwilling to leave his side when he’s unable to get to the evac point when their mission goes awry. She stays behind with the devil and the secrets he keeps. They only have one another to trust when no faith is left.

Fanfiction readers

For my work I have to understand alternative forms of reading, and that kind of made me spiral back in the world of fanfic. I'm basically curious, do you read fanfictions? Is it something you can talk about IRL (I def feel like it used to be more taboo)? What are your go-to tags ? What are your biggest icks? What do you think about fanfiction oozing it's way in mainstream publishing? Basically let's chat about fanfics :)
