Yes, War is now on my kindle too. But it's in line after Severance...and some other ARC's...

She sent it last night. But, if you are ready to start and want to read an ARC for review, I can get you the bookfunnel link.

Oooh, is there a book about unicorns farting glitter?? I want that one!! 😜So what shouldn't I read? Rapture & Severence??

Leslie wrote: "Oooh, is there a book about unicorns farting glitter?? I want that one!! 😜So what shouldn't I read? Rapture & Severence??"
I think they mean Severence. I didn't think Rapture was too terribly angsty, but early reviews indicate a lot of tears with Severence.
...runs to go find books about unicorns and glitterfarts!
Judy, I have a very hard time with books that are super depressing, have death/terminal illness, violence, dark and non-hea.Books like Carnage
or Heartbreak Warfare
would be dubbed "NSFL" (not suitable for Leslie)

LOL Leslie and unicorn books! Ela, I'll send you the link too. But FYI, on that form, for the blogger part you can just put N/A.

Leslie wrote: "Oooh, is there a book about unicorns farting glitter?? I want that one!! 😜So what shouldn't I read? Rapture & Severence??"
I think you could maybe read Rapture...let me finish Severance and I'll let you know for sure...as of right now, I'd say prob not.
Read the synopsis for Rapture and you can message me or Renee for more specifics if you need them....

It's not the blogger that kicked me out, it's the Amazon and Instagram pages (why are these being required, IMO that's a little too personal)
Thanks Michele! I know you will always give me the deets. 🙂

There is a line on the form that says to put N/A if any of the following links aren't applicable. So just use N/A for anything you don't have. This form is for both readers and bloggers so that's why those fields are there.

Plus, I think they kind of want to make sure that people who get the copies actually post reviews and it makes it easier for them to check...I dunno
Thanks guys for letting me know about War. I'm really excited to read it! Was out on a boat all day and my phone died! Ela, you know I'm not good at buddy reads, but maybe if you set a date, I could try?
Right now I'm reading The Butterfly Garden and whoa..... this is some crazy shit! Really liking it though!
I'm finishing Pestilence finally. Apparently, I stopped right before it got really, really good!
Yay! I really, really loved that book Nay and I remember everything about it...... can't say that about most books.
Has anyone read the idea of you. That fact a 40 year old is with a 20 year old rock star is just a bit unbelievable and not sitting well. Has anyone else found that. I’m just not feeling it. Does it get better. Maryse raved about it.
Melinda, I struggled with the age factor a lot!!! But I ended up absolutely LOVING the book. That one still haunts me a little and I find myself thinking about it often. Try to stick with it!
Oookkkaaayyy, the age is freaking me out a bit. Okay, maybe a lot. And she keeps saying I could be your mum. 🤮

I loved it as well. I would have REALLY loved it if I'd thought to cast shawn mendes as Hayes.
Yeah, but Robin. The difference is your fantasising but hers is reAlity. And that’s gross. She has a 12 year old. 🥴🥴🤮

Will do jan. Glad I’m not the only one.
Melinda wrote: "Will do jan. Glad I’m not the only one."No, you're definitely not. I think this is one of those books that people have very differing opinions on.

Hello everybody, Just wanted to say that I really like this group :)I love to read all your comments.
I liked
, but also struggled with the age difference. in the end I gave it 4 stars. I thinks it worths reading
When I read I often remove the "real life" factor from it, so the "ick factor" at their age difference didn't bother me as much as it would if I had run across it in the real world.
Michele wrote: "When I read I often remove the "real life" factor from it, so the "ick factor" at their age difference didn't bother me as much as it would if I had run across it in the real world."Good point, Michele. I sometimes do that too, like in mafia books or biker books. In real life I would be terrified by some of the people in those books, but I still like to read about them sometimes in a kind of "they're not really real so it doesn't matter" type of thing. But for some reason I just couldn't with TIOY.
*hugs Ela and Melinda for similar feelings about TIOY*
*waves Hi to Catia*

Or the age difference between her and his parents.
Eeewwwwwww it’s just yuck. But about 70% she stopped saying, I I could be your mum or my daughter is close to your age
so I could pretend he was older or she was younger.
If he had of been 26,27,28
Then no probs.
