Shout to the void (pt14)🪐

Hello fellow boundlings!! You know the drill… what’s a recent complaint (no matter how big, small, silly, dramatic, serious, etc) you need to shout to the void ?!📣

Wait I love a spicy old woman that knows too much and holds it over this secretive assassin young man.

I’m intrigued.

Author’s events and book signings in the U.S.

I have never been to an author signing or speaking event or book tour. But I think I’d really enjoy some. Now that I’ve read quite a bit over the last few years, but I feel like the ones I see are never in the right cities at the right times for me, especially having kids.

Are there any comprehensive lists anywhere that someone keeps online of like a list of authors and their upcoming tours and locations? I’m sure this is a long shot but I’m curious if there is or if I have to do a deep dive for each author or each like city I could go to or whatever.

Another question pertaining to author tours (in US), do big authors ever go to like small bookstores or smaller towns? Or not even small small but like not the biggest cities in the U.S. I know book tours don’t get money or crowds like concerts but I’m always sad when some of my favs (even indie) only end up in like New York, Orlando, Chicago and Houston and Cali etc.

Edit: now I’m thinking I should start a Google sheet where we can all work together on of author events and locations???

John Wick meets Ghost in the Shell in this fast-paced cyberpunk thriller by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Will of the Many and The Strength of the Few. My job, when you think about it, isn’t so different from a lot of people’s. The more old-fashioned crowd do still get hung up on the "killing people" part of it, I guess, but that’s a them problem: it’s been perfectly legal to take out lifers for ages. Besides, once ultrawealthy morons realised they had a way to live forever—limited resources be damned—there was only ever going to be one genuinely practical deterrent. So, sure, I have to deal with a ton of boring planning. Inconvenient hours. Some pretty awkward face-to-face interactions. And like most of us, I’m really only clocking in to try to crawl out from beneath my debts. But someone’s got to do it. Luckily, my genetic compatibilities make me really, really good at doing it. Still. This next job...I don’t know. It’s something I haven’t had to deal with in years. Kind of the opposite of my regular duties. Strange, that it got thrown my way. I’m sure it’ll all go totally fine though.

This won’t be long. Definitely not nearly as good as the first. To be honest I kept thinking we’d get the full story on Forest as well as more time together between Iris and Roman.

The other side couples really needed more time and detail if I was ever going to care much about them too.

Idk. Loved book 1, meh on book 2.

Ruthless Vows

Rebecca Ross

The epic conclusion to the intensely romantic and beautifully written story that started in Divine Rivals. Two weeks have passed since Iris Winnow returned home bruised and heartbroken from the front, but the war is far from over. Roman is missing, and the city of Oath continues to dwell in a state of disbelief and ignorance. When Iris and Attie are given another chance to report on Dacre’s movements, they both take the opportunity and head westward once more despite the danger, knowing it’s only a matter of time before the conflict reaches a city that’s unprepared and fracturing beneath the chancellor’s reign. Since waking below in Dacre’s realm, Roman cannot remember his past. But given the reassurance that his memories will return in time, Roman begins to write articles for Dacre, uncertain of his place in the greater scheme of the war. When a strange letter arrives by wardrobe door, Roman is first suspicious, then intrigued. As he strikes up a correspondence with his mysterious pen pal, Roman will soon have to make a decision: to stand with Dacre or betray the god who healed him. And as the days grow darker, inevitably drawing Roman and Iris closer together…the two of them will risk their very hearts and futures to change the tides of the war.
