Breve,efficace, inquietante.Non il mio Ballard preferito ("Il condominio" resta decisamente in cima alla lista) ma un bel giallo che, purtroppo, lascia poco spazio al mistero, per soffermarsi più sulla spiegazione dell'esecuzione, a livello tecnico, dell'omicidio di massa che spazza via, in un operazione magistralmente orchestrata, tutti gli adulti residenti di un sorvegliatissimo complesso di lusso, lasciando gli inquirenti a chiedersi che fine abbiano fatto i ragazzini, figli delle vittime. Il come ed il perché vi daranno i brividi ben oltre la lettura del libro... 📗📗📗📗📗📗📗📗📗📗📗📗📗📗📗 #bookdragon #book #libriletti #librilettidallamela #librilettidallamela2022 #ballard #ungiocodabambini #feltrinelli #feltrinellieditore #universaleeconomicafeltrinelli #englishwriters #ilovetoread #amoleggere #bookstagram #bookstragrammer #instabook #bookworms #instaread #instareading #ilovethesmellofbooks #ballardian https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci1_5pJMBpH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Where the Crawdads Sing By Delia Owens ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 I started reading Where the Crawdads Sing two years ago and didn't get far enough to feel the hook of it so I returned it to the library. I decided to give it another chance, listening to it primarily on audiobook until about 50% when the book became available through my library. I enjoyed reading it more than listening. I hadn't read the synopsis in a long time nor had I watched the movie trailer so I wasn't positive what I was getting myself into. This type of historical fiction is so interesting to me and while I enjoy reading it, I rarely seem to pick it up. It's up there with The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah for me. I love how we see Kya grow and learn to live on her own after her family abandons her and the town writes her off. She is fortunate enough to have a few people that care about her, including Tate (though in my opinion he royally messed up). I loved learning about the swamps in North Carolina and at one point realized either a lot of research went into this book or Delia Owens has a background in wildlife, biology, and zoology (she does). It was equally fun and educational to read. I was so happy to see a redeemed life for Kya after living in survival mode for many years. Overall, five stars because once I found the hook, I couldn't stop listening/reading. • • • • • #wherethecrawdadssing #lizzierecommends #northcarolinacoast #bookstomovies #bookstragrammer #bookbloggersofinstagram #bookstagramcommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfwiz_5LMvl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

These Violent Delights Book Review

These Violent Delights Book Review by Micah Nemerever

I love sharing my book opinions with others. One of the primary reasons I started this blog was to share my very strong

feelings as I didn’t have many people in real life that I could do that with (or who were interested in listening).

Throughout this experience, I’ve also loved listening to others and their opinions on books. Sometimes I agree with them, sometimes I vehemently disagree with them, and sometimes it’s a cacophonous mix of both.

One bookstragrammer I like in particular shares my very opinionated feelings more often than not. So of course, the other day while browsing Instagram, I caught a post of hers asking the question: what book can you not stand others criticizing?

This really got me thinking, as there are a plethora of books I adore, but I’m not blind to their flaws. The Foxhole Court, for example, is a book series I’ve read over three times now, a series I’m obsessed with, and yet I completely understand why others don’t like it.

The only book series that I could possibly see as fitting the question is Harry Potter. Now. I’ve met people who don’t like Harry Potter. That’s fine.

However, I also have yet to meet a single person who has read all seven books and still disliked it. Usually people who dislike Harry Potter either haven’t read the books, didn’t finish reading the books, or have only seen the movies. I’m sorry (not sorry) to say, but those people don’t count.

In the same vein, I was so incredibly curious to read a book that someone I admire claimed they hated seeing critiques of.

Let me say right now: I hope they don’t see this review.

These Violent Delights by Micah Nemerever is not to be confused with the Romeo and Juliet remake duology by the same name by Chloe Gong. The two books have nothing in common except for their title.

These Violent Delights by Michael Neveremer is an odd little book about two teenage boys growing up in the 1970’s in Pittsburgh.

As the two boys meet, named Paul and Julian respectively, they feel seen and understood by someone else for the first time in their entire lives.

The book delves into the dangers of codependency, issues of isolation and elitism, and the toxicity in the belief that no one else can understand what the characters are going through.

I do like the theme of this novel. I’m obsessed with the idea of someone feeling special or like they’re the exception. However, I usually like this (especially in Romantic pairings) in a positive way.

For example, one partner doesn’t like sharing food with friends or family but will let their romantic partner get away with it. Something small and cute and worthless.

This novel takes the idea of being the exception to intense and violent lengths as Julian and Paul do anything and everything to prove that they need nor want anyone but each other.

Mental health, intelligence, philosophy, and justice all play a role as the two boys grow closer and closer with devastating consequences.

This book, while entertaining in a dark and twisted kind-of-way, did make me want to keep turning the page as the book starts in medias res.

The first chapter shows you exactly how far these boys will go and the whole book is you leading up to the moment of climax and the aftermath of the climax as you witness Paul and Julian dealing with the consequences of their actions.

I know I haven’t been very detailed about what this book is or exactly what it’s about, but honestly, I’ve said almost all that I can. The book is less about plot points and specific timelines and more about the evolving relationship between Paul and Julian and the spiderweb effects it has both on them and the people around them.

This book is deeply psychological as well as thrillingly emotional.

It’s dark and creepy and more often than not, perplexing and convoluted.

Nemerever is a good writer, but at times I found him intentionally dense and confusing which I didn’t always appreciate while reading. I like the overall themes of this book and the ending was unexpected which is always, always a joy.

However, this book didn’t have a happy ending.

Maybe it was naive of me to think it would, but I still wanted it, no matter that these characters were too broken for something like a happy ending.

Overall, I disagree with my bookstagrammer entirely. While I enjoyed the dark maelstrom that was These Violent Delights, I don’t think it was without fault.

The sometimes pretentious writing, the inversion of a beloved trope, and the desolate ending all made me frown more than smile.

While the themes are very real and the book was richly driven by character relationships, it wasn’t enough at the end of the day to leave this book without any negatives.

Recommendation: If you enjoy dark stories with ambiguous characters where the plot revolves almost entirely around the progression and dissolution of a very intimate, punishing, and toxic relationship this very well may be the story for you. For me, the writing was often confusing and the paltry ending left me dissatisfied and unhappy. If you can stomach not getting your “happy ever after” this twisted tale will keep you on the edge of your toes.

Score: 6/10

Donald Bookstragrammer Trump

En mi búsqueda de ideas para una segunda serie de relatos sobre el futuro que se nos avecina (Futuros Imperfectos II), estoy inmerso en la lectura de AI 2041, un libro escrito por un novelista de ciencia ficción chino, Chen Oiufan, y el ex-presidente de Google en China, Kai-Fu Lee. Este libro consta de 10 historias ambientadas en el 2041, 20 años después de que el libro fue publicado, en el que…

My current read, which as much as I love Chuck Wendig, I’m surprised at. After all I’ve loved the Stand since I read it in my teens but haven’t been able to touch it since 9/11. I was just thinking of picking it back up when COVID hit. I decided it wasn’t worth daily panic attacks to read right now. Yet here I am with this, a pandemic book, and am loving it. Wendig’s gift with metaphor and his sense of humor shine in the midst of the creeping dread that grows with each turn of the page.  @bibliophilicwitch

What’s one thing you look for in a story?

I love a detailed setting more than anything (well besides amazing characters). The Bridge Kingdom series by Danielle L. Jensen provides that and more! If you have a chance to read this series, do it. It’s amazing!

"- And I told you I don't share. Not when it comes to you. I don't give a f*ck about if he's a multimillionaire and plastered on every magazine i the world. He could be the King of f*cking England, but he'll never give you what I'm willing to give you. - What's that? - Everything. My heart. My soul. My dignity. What do you want me to do, Jules? Do you want me to f*cking beg? Say the world, and I'll be on my knees." ... My, my... 🫠🫠 This JJ duo is just to good ❤ The drama was a little bit hard to handle and I've to admit how I hated Joshy for a moment there I just feel like there should have been more grovelling you know? Altough, in the end I like it how things ended for this duo. The spice level was also on point 🌶 This book was also a 5/5⭐️ Have you guys read #twistedhate?

The Midnight Library By Matt Haig ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 I started the Midnight Library in March of 2021 and made it halfway before I stopped reading in favor of other books. I picked it back up this weekend so I could find out what happened to the main character. The book starts off sad as the main character has decided her life isn't worth living anymore. She then ends up between life and death at this place known as the "Midnight Library". Each book contains a different story of how her life plays out. If she clicks easily with one of them, she'll stay. It begins with her addressing the biggest regrets she has in life. By exploring those worlds, she sees how wrong she was as they're not the lives she's meant to live. It then continues with her experiencing lives she would have wanted. The last one she explores appears to be the best fit, but something is still off and she returns to The Midnight Library with a new sense of excitement for her old life. Through these experiences, she realized the life she had still had all this potential and she was capable of making changes. Additionally, she saw how people she'd positively affected in her original life, act nothing like she'd remembered them, and understood it had been her who'd made a difference with this person. I'm rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 even though it took me a year and a half to get through. The concept and writing were done well and made the books enjoyable to read! • • • • • #lizzierecommends #bookstagramcommunity #bookstragrammer #themidnightlibrary #matthaig #booksofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CfpPye_PjNK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Currently pretending I have nothing else better to do on a weekend but be in a bookish mood.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Paper Towns is one of my fave YAs. I’ve read this when I was just starting to discover my fondness of the same genre. It’s mainly because of the mysterious female lead whom I was really channeling before. (I did not like the movie as much though) Which character from a book seems to have (un)consciously influenced you in real life? For me, among many others, it’s Margo Roth Spiegelman of Paper Towns.

PS. Missed taking bookish portraits of myself, kindly excuse me a bit, lols!
