Historia
It can come in waves - like tidal waves. It changes societies. It disrupts life. It ends lives. As far back as 3000 B.C.E. (the Bronze Age), plagues have stricken mankind. COVID-19 is just the latest example, but history shows that life continues. It shows that knowledge and social cooperation can save lives. Viruses are neither alive nor dead and are the closest thing we have to zombies. Their only known function is to replicate themselves, which can have devastating consequences on their hosts.

so much misinformation
Revisado: 04-09-25
syphilis is caused by a bacterium, not a virus. this is supposed to be nonfiction, but the author repeatedly misattributes a disease cause more than once. this book is not consistently scientifically accurate. that’s not ok. if you’re reading this book for information rather than entertainment, please stop and find a more accurate depiction.
i guess it could be the narrator who is the issue, but i suspect the book is just poorly written and edited.

Historia
Ashley Perrin is fresh out of college and starting a job as a community liaison for the Third District–the city’s only sector with more alien residents than humans. Ashley’s barely found where the paper clips are kept when she’s beset with constituent complaints–from too much noise at the Annual Lupidian Celebration Parade to a trip-and-fall chicken to a very particular type of alien hornet that threatens the very city itself. And if that’s not terrifying enough, Ashley is next up at the office karaoke night.

just wonderful
Revisado: 03-20-25
of all the books available for the “sweet and spicy” goodreads challenge this was one of the few that appealed to me. it’s fat more magic and mystery than romance and was basically perfect.

Historia
A weekly newspaper dedicated to the weird and the wonderful (but mostly the weird), The Stranger Times is the go-to publication for the unexplained and inexplicable. At least that's their pitch. The reality is rather less auspicious. Their editor is a drunken, foul-tempered and foul-mouthed husk of a man who thinks little of the publication he edits. His staff are a ragtag group of misfits. And as for the assistant editor...well, that job is a revolving door - and it has just revolved to reveal Hannah Willis, who's got problems of her own.

Historia
"Jingle Bells, Bunny Smells, Simone ran away..."That's right, it is the crimbo episode, where Caimh reveals his most Christmasy of all chapters, reminisces about the horror of Christmas parties, and defends himself from the two biggest complaints he received all year, because nothing says Christmas like a good arguement.

anti who what??
Revisado: 09-01-24
i’m an american reader (though i do love crime novels set in the UK and ireland) and caimh is amazing.
let’s be honest: the readers who complain about things like “anti american sentiment” or “politics” are ABSOLUTELY the people you think they are. the rest of us adore your writing.

i get so emotional, baby
Revisado: 08-26-24
i have listened to the dublin “trilogy” (teehee) three times in a year. i also know what happens and have read the McGarry Stateside books (love that Diller is named after your doggo or vice versa) and i still weep EVERY TIME i listen to this prologue. it’s absolutely a testament to how incredible your characters are…especially this one. <3

best and most realistic depiction of pregnancy that i’ve ever heard

best and most realistic depiction of pregnancy that i’ve ever heard
Revisado: 08-26-24
let’s be honest: pregnancy isn’t what they’d have you believe. i don’t know if it’s a bunch of people who want others to experience the horrors they endured, or what. i have the equipment necessary for pregnancy but am grossed out by the entire process.
the depiction of this grotesquely pregnant woman is absolutely spot on-if pregnant folks were honest about the experience.
frankly, i know women who now wear diapers or have to use a wheelchair because of their pregnancies. not for me kthxbai.
