I still don't understand if I'm curious or disgusted while reading this (disgusted probably) I'm loving the writing style though, it is very direct, doesn't go around concepts etc. also I've been having a hard time eating meat since I started this🤙🏻

The Dead Romantics

Ashley Poston

Alternate cover edition of ISBN 9780593336489. Florence Day is the ghostwriter for one of the most prolific romance authors in the industry, and she has a problem—after a terrible breakup, she no longer believes in love. It’s as good as dead. When her new editor, a too-handsome mountain of a man, won’t give her an extension on her book deadline, Florence prepares to kiss her career goodbye. But then she gets a phone call she never wanted to receive, and she must return home for the first time in a decade to help her family bury her beloved father. For ten years, she’s run from the town that never understood her, and even though she misses the sound of a warm Southern night and her eccentric, loving family and their funeral parlor, she can’t bring herself to stay. Even with her father gone, it feels like nothing in this town has changed. And she hates it. Until she finds a ghost standing at the funeral parlor’s front door, just as broad and infuriatingly handsome as ever, and he’s just as confused about why he’s there as she is. Romance is most certainly dead... but so is her new editor, and his unfinished business will have her second-guessing everything she’s ever known about love stories. A disillusioned millennial ghostwriter who, quite literally, has some ghosts of her own, has to find her way back home in this sparkling adult debut from national bestselling author Ashley Poston.

The Seven Year Slip

Ashley Poston

An overworked book publicist with a perfectly planned future hits a snag when she falls in love with her temporary roommate…only to discover he lives seven years in the past, in this witty and wise new novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Dead Romantics. Sometimes, the worst day of your life happens, and you have to figure out how to live after it. So Clementine forms a plan to keep her heart safe: work hard, find someone decent to love, and try to remember to chase the moon. The last one is silly and obviously metaphorical, but her aunt always told her that you needed at least one big dream to keep going. And for the last year, that plan has gone off without a hitch. Mostly. The love part is hard because she doesn’t want to get too close to anyone—she isn’t sure her heart can take it. And then she finds a strange man standing in the kitchen of her late aunt’s apartment. A man with kind eyes and a Southern drawl and a taste for lemon pies. The kind of man that, before it all, she would’ve fallen head-over-heels for. And she might again. Except, he exists in the past. Seven years ago, to be exact. And she, quite literally, lives seven years in his future. Her aunt always said the apartment was a pinch in time, a place where moments blended together like watercolors. And Clementine knows that if she lets her heart fall, she’ll be doomed. After all, love is never a matter of time—but a matter of timing.

Tender Is the Flesh

Agustina Bazterrica

Working at the local processing plant, Marcos is in the business of slaughtering humans —though no one calls them that anymore. His wife has left him, his father is sinking into dementia, and Marcos tries not to think too hard about how he makes a living. After all, it happened so quickly. First, it was reported that an infectious virus has made all animal meat poisonous to humans. Then governments initiated the “Transition.” Now, eating human meat—“special meat”—is legal. Marcos tries to stick to numbers, consignments, processing. Then one day he’s given a gift: a live specimen of the finest quality. Though he’s aware that any form of personal contact is forbidden on pain of death, little by little he starts to treat her like a human being. And soon, he becomes tortured by what has been lost—and what might still be saved.

okay I finished ittttt I don't know what exactly I'm thinking? I liked the ending tho, it felt right also one of my thoughts during the last pages, is how the fact that Alice is a vampire feels scarier than Sabine or Charlotte being. I think it's either because Alice's kills will be more difficult (her kills will likely be investigated?) (or, I've been wondering throughout the book, can they drink animal blood? it might've been addressed but if so I don't remember it), or because while reading of Sabine and Charlotte I knew for a fact that they had a future, as in they live in past and present history, so their immortality is less mysterious, while with Alice? we don't know how her future will be, we're left to wonder, and even that we can't do as much because we don't actually know what will follow in history, the future is as much a blank page to her as it is to us so yeah there's that, otherwise I don't have very profound thoughts lol alas, I loved it

Scandalo a Hollywood

Felicia Kingsley

Sofia Cortez sogna da sempre di lavorare come giornalista d’inchiesta nella redazione di un grande quotidiano. La dura realtà, però, la costringe alla scrivania di «Hollywood e dintorni», una testata sull’orlo del fallimento che, per non perdere gli sponsor, le chiede di occuparsi di ciò che lei più detesta: il gossip. Hayden West, meglio noto come Wild Wild West, invece, del gossip è il re: tutte le celebrità lo temono, non c’è segreto che gli si possa nascondere, sa sempre tutto prima di tutti e UnHolywood, il suo libro scandalistico, è in testa a tutte le classifiche. Rivali storici dai tempi dell’università, Hayden e Sofia conducono vite opposte e parallele che, però, s’incrociano di nuovo quando si ritrovano a inseguire la stessa notizia: la competizione spietata si riaccende al primo sguardo, scatenando una sfida all’ultimo scoop. Sotto i riflettori di Hollywood, tra un party esclusivo e un’indagine al limite della legalità, Hayden e Sofia potrebbero rendersi conto che allearsi è più utile che combattersi... e che le scintille tra loro rischiano di diventare un incendio.

Things I want to see A LOTT MORE in....✨FANTASY BOOKS✨PART 3💗 (Might be the last part because im running out of ideas)

WHY DO ALL FANTASY BOOKS ACT LIKE THE WORLD HAS TO BE 99% DARKNESS AND SUFFERING?? 😭 like yes yes trauma, politics, curses, blah blah blah, but HELLO?? where is the JOY??

Where are the little moments of happiness that make saving the world actually WORTH IT WITH ALL THAT TRAUMA🤨🤨?!? I wanna see them laughing around a campfire, trading dumb jokes. I wanna see the scary assassin begrudgingly adopting a stray dog(AARON WARNER, CALAENA SARDOTHIEN). i want epic battle scenes followed by cozy scenes of everyone eating soup and teasing each other about who tripped over their sword and how bad they all messed up or smth like that.😔

not EVERYTHING has to be tragic. not EVERY mentor has to die💔. not EVERY romance has to be pain & red flags🚩🚩. sometimes the most revolutionary thing in a fantasy world full of bloodshed is two idiots falling in love slowly, gently, and with ACTUAL RESPECT. sometimes the most beautiful thing is a found family that lives instead of trauma dumping... (I forgot how to spell and kept writing DUMPLING😭)

give me softness. give me hope. give me heroes who win not just by killing the villain but by building something better afterwards😔. imagine a fantasy book that ends with laughter, rebuilding, and HEALING (Like ACOTAR and Throne of glass. I havent finished Crescent City)

Fantasy doesn't have to be DEPRESSING AND DESPERATELY IN NEED OF THERAPY🤯!!

adding books

okay so, this is more a question than anything else so, there's this book that has recently come out (like at the beginning of sept), but I can't find it in pb, as i wanted to put that on my reading list. it is an italian book, so I guess there's a bit of difficulty on that front?? but all the other books by the author are present. is there any way to add this book, or make some kind of request for it to be added? (also the book in question is Scandalo a Hollywood, by Felicia Kingsley)

L'Anticristo

Friedrich Nietzsche

L’Anticristo è forse l’opera in cui la forza del pensiero di Nietzsche si incarna con il massimo vigore e va ad attaccare l’idea di Dio e le credenze religiose con tutta la sua potenza. Il grande filosofo ribalta la visione del mondo tradizionale con impeto rivoluzionario: la morale è menzogna, la virtù è truffa. Il rifiuto della religione e dei “valori” è essenziale e ineludibile per ogni vera filosofia. La base di partenza è lo stretto legame che mette in relazione morale e nichilismo. Tale connessione è estranea al senso comune, per il quale da sempre i valori della pietà, della compassione e della religione sono il contrario del nichilismo.
