Zuletzt beendet: "Last of the Talons" von @sophiekimwrites - #BeautyandtheBeast meets Joe Black in #Fantasy#Asia. Hat etwas gedauert bis ich es nicht mehr zugunsten anderer Formate (eBook, Print) beiseite gelegt sondern fertig hören wollte. Nach etwa der Hälfte, um genau zu sein. 3/5 Sternen 🌟🌟🌟 - okay, kann man lesen, die zweite Hälfte ist 4/5. #Bookstodon#Fantasyromane#Rezension@bookstodon@buchstodon
Non sum qualis eram, as the poet says. Not a happy ending but a good one: "Learned by heart" from Emma Donoghue (c)2023 is the last book I finished. #worldbuilding wise it gave me ideas for fantastic academia and might influence my image of the MSM on #Karcanon in the generation before Phyter. Have you read it? Have you compared it to Christa Winsloe's classic book of #sapphic school days? @bookstodon

Did you know that if you've purchased the eBook from Amazon, you can get the audiobook at a discounted price? (It's true!) #Bookstodon#HistoricalFiction#Sapphic#WLW
Taking the spoiler alert away because I think everyone should know: Honoring Elvira, Mistress of the Dark! Aka Cassandra Peterson. She's a paragon of #sapphic excellence. Her advice: "When I was 30, people said I was over the hill. And you know where those people are now? Dead. So take your time, be true to yourself, and show lots of skin."
Twists, turns, and Angst (👈 note the capital A!) are center stage in this third book in the Shadow series. A sultry spy has fallen for her mark and all hell is about to break loose. Buckle up. 💄👠🥃😬 https://books2read.com/itsot

Quote: I looked at the cigarette in my hand, thought, “What the hell?” and took a puff; “Ugh, unflavored.” But I’d finally gotten a kiss from my konbini girl, a secondary kiss, but a kiss.

There were no lights on the bridge and the fog off the river was sending tendrils over the railing. All I had to do was cross the bridge and walk two blocks past the roads leading to Enpukuji. Mikawa wouldn’t bother me again, would she? That had been a warning.
These thoughts gave me no comfort. The distance seemed huge in the dark, and I didn’t place much trust in the forbearance of an apparition. I had her girlfriend at my house, after all. Taking a deep breath, I stepped onto the bridge and hurried forward.

Tomo looked peeved when I told him I had given Shiomi permission to stay with us. He squinted more than usual and cocked his head to the side as he replied, “It’s your house. But you really do have bad taste in women.”
“Just as bad with guys.” I retorted.
“If you’re dissatisfied, I can move out.”
I had been living with Tomo long enough to tell from his tone that he was only half joking. I couldn’t blame him. Shiomi looked like a load of trouble. Even I knew this wasn’t the brightest decision I had ever made.

Sometimes it's small things...
“Thank you;" Shiomi said. "it has been a long time since anyone bought me a meal and I had a pleasant time.” She was smiling, looking happier than I had seen her for a long time. The look transcended cute. She was stunning.
“You welcome,” I said, a little flustered. It seemed such a small thing and raised a new question: Had my buying her ramen been that special?

Any port in a storm
“Now, what am I going to do?” I thought.
I glanced around and saw that the other woman, or should I say ghost, was gone. So I bent down to see if I could rouse my charge. Her eyes fluttered. The feral gleam was gone, replaced by sadness. She muttered, “I need a drink.”
I didn’t think so. I could smell the sour odor of alcohol on her breath already, but anything to get her out of there before Mikawa reappeared. “Sure,” I said. “I have some beer at my place.”

Everyone is angry
“Don’t swear at me!” The situation was wearing on my nerves, or I might have let it pass, but the swearing grated. It clashed with the image of Shiomi I kept trying to build in my mind. I was tired, my cigarette tasted foul, and I had just risked my life for the third time. And for what, an ungrateful woman who didn’t have the sense to see her lover was a rotting corpse!
“I’ll swear if I want to, White Knight-sama. I’d be with my girlfriend right now, instead of wandering around these desolate hills, if it wasn’t for you. You’re as bad as Mika, riding in on your fucking white horse and fucking my life up! I hate you! Damn it, I hate you!”
