ethics have vacated the office. there are no ethics in till summer do us part. the ethics donot exist.
also too much throbbing. i donot need this much throbbing in my life.
kind of sweet on occasion but then the author launches you into weirdness in two words.

i tried the audiobook, i tried the ebook, now i want to try a gun....
i've read a third of the book and i've skimmed the rest. I just found the characters SO ANNOYING and performative (ironically lmao).
i just can't with monster smut recently, they have gotten me through tough time but i think it's time for me to say goodbye (after i finish the quest.....only 5 more books 🫠)
I don't even think the book was that bad :( I'm just so burnout and tired of the genre that all my experiences with monster romance/smut are negative :(((

Three's A Wrap: A Mummy Retelling novella

maomi commented on maomi's review of A Soul to Keep (Duskwalker Brides, #1)
i wanted to love this book so much. its been on my radar since the dedication went viral, but i can only feel disappointed now that ive read it.
the writing itself reads as though its a first draft. there’s info dumping everywhere, inconsistencies in the FMC’s background, copious amounts of hand waving, and the world and magic system are poorly developed. at times, it truly feels as though the author doesn’t trust us readers to understand what’s going on in the story, with sentences that read as though they are worried the reader didn’t remember what’s been previously established. as much as i wanted to suspend my disbelief and just enjoy the ride, the writing would not let me do so😔
the sex is pretty cool though.

one of the most important things i learned on rotation was from my attending in plastics and reconstruction. i remember we were doing a breast reconstruction case. the patient was getting implants, what's known as alloplastic reconstruction. as i was retracting one of the flaps, my attending asked me: "what are the options for breast cancer reconstruction? walk me through them."
alloplastic reconstruction involves the use of external things to perform the reconstruction. autoplastic reconstruction involves the use of your own tissues, for example, a diep flap where tissue is taken from the abdomen, or a lat flap where tissue is taken from the back.
the third option is no reconstruction. in other words, no treatment.
this is something that people tend to forget about.
Just before thanksgiving, Sara Monopoli, her husband, Rich, and her mother, Dawn Thomas, met with Dr. Marcoux to discuss the options she had left. By this point, Sara had undergone three rounds of chemotherapy with limited, if any, effect. Perhaps Marcoux could have discussed what she most wanted as death neared and how best to achieve those wishes. But the signal he got from Sara and her family was that they wished to talk only about the next treatment options. They did not want to talk about dying.
later:
Her father, Gary, and her twin sister, Emily, still held out hope for a cure. The doctors simply weren't looking hard enough, they felt. "I just couldn't believe there wasn't something," Gary said. For Rich, the experience of Sara's illness had been disorienting: "We had a baby. We were young. And this was so shocking and so odd. We never discussed stopping treatment."
"no treatment will always be an option," my attending told me. "never forget to offer that to a patient."
