Lilith’s potions and spellbooks | Booksky 📚

Say what you will about the new Jurassic Park movie, but Jonathan Bailey perfectly captured the “scientist finally gets permission to do something stupid” expression of pure chaotic joy. #movies #jurassicpark

If a pregnant woman is brain dead, in a coma, and no longer has rights to make decisions about the pregnancy according to E. Bruenig, that means we don’t have a say in what happens to our organs and corpses after we die. We are public property upon death. Quite an argument!

Remarkable.

MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful."

Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd.

Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

Made a small luck spell for my partner and I who are both starting internships in the next week. The ingredients and spell came from a local curandero 🩷

Scissoring. Literal scissors hitting and sliding each other. This is described in graphic detail for no reason.

and seamlessly melded words from English, Spanish, Italian, French, and various other languages to create a unique dialogue style that was as much a part of the story as the events itself.

Lastly, the linguist in me adored the way that language was crafted in this book. In imagining a future where humanity has homogenized out of necessity for survival, Older played on the very realistic human tendency of linguistic dispersion

The mystery of this book was well written, and I enjoyed the suspense of the "whodunit?" The extension of the worldbuilding off our familiar world of valdegeld to a new platform was a fun exploration into a speculative future that Dr. Older has clearly spent a significant amount of time developing.

I hope that everyone gets the pleasure of reading a love as gentle and genuine as that between Mossa and Pleiti.

The book centers on the relationship between Mossa and Pleiti. The previous books touched upon each woman's anxieties about their deepening relationship, and this one followed that up with a deep exploration of emotions and what it means to commit to another person.

I have enjoyed every book I have read by Dr. Older, and this one was no exception. Witty, emotional, and gripping, I found myself once again engrossed in the world of Mossa and Pleiti on Giant. This boook was cozy and heartwarming as always, but it definitely took a journey to get there.

ARC Review: The Potency of Ungovernable Impulses by @older.bsky.social
Rating 5/5 ⭐
I absolutely adored this book as I loved every other book in this series. Dra. Older is a linguistic genius and I was honored to receive this ARC from netgalley.

Novel, Susanna Clarke, Piranesi

Another author might have turned this story into a 600-page novel. Susanna Clarke did it in under three hundred, and the result is perfect as it is. A powerful imagination and an elegant execution. Inspirational. I wish I saw her work in bookstores more often, but maybe it's better this way. 💙📚

For any of my witchy friends, this is a great book for an introduction to witchcraft and activism. It’s full of spells, advice, and essential information in a way that doesn’t push one spiritual practice over another.

The book started out good, but as I read it I found myself slowly getting more and more annoyed with the authors quips and personal anecdotes. I wanted to learn something new from this book, but it had the same amount of information as Psych 101 class.

True enough!!!!

To be fair, we DO in fact have multiple huge statues of Ramses II in Memphis TN (as someone who lives there) University of Memphis is partnered with Memphis Egypt and they do share ancient artifacts. It’s not necessarily that much of a reach lollll

Finals are over and I can finally read again!!!
