Out there, we've walked quite friendly up to Death, —
Sat down and eaten with him, cool and bland, —
Pardoned his spilling mess-tins in our hand.
We've sniffed the green thick odour of his breath, —
Our eyes wept, but our courage didn't writhe.
He's spat at us with bullets and he's coughed
Shrapnel. We chorussed when he sang aloft,
We whistled while he shaved us with his scythe.

What passing-bells for these who die as cattle?

So far Distances is my favorite.

I’m just going to say, I really don’t like Helen and I find Grant unbelievable.

“She tugs my dick out from the layers of flame-retardant material.”

“My boobs bounce as I move closer to him.” I can’t even. Just in it for the laughs at this point.

“Are we doing this? Going all the way?” I know it’s been a long time since I was 23 but just ugh.

Come on, impure thoughts don’t count.

I hate the trend of telling the romance story from both the female and male POV. This one is just painful.

Oh

Who knew werewolf smut could be so boring? 🥱

When you find out you’re not the only flamingo in the world.

Very effectively giving me the creeps!

Funny, I don’t know any men that call women “darling girl” but Eloise knows three? Maybe four?

Really, I’m pulling for Lynne. The amount of time all these people spend talking about her behind her back and picking her apart is gross.

Ugh, these characters are unreal and unlikable.

Eloise is a judgmental bitch. I’m just gonna say it.

Ok, Pretty Woman is mentioned by name

I feel like this is a retelling of Pretty Woman and the character named Vivi is a nod to that. I’m in!!

I love that she wears orthopedic flats. Keeping it real

Let us just say it— she lies A LOT

Going on record: that cough better not be what I think

Ok, it’s a laugh out loud book. “Vintage speculum” snort

The Answer Man— “it was a yes.”

The Dreamers— “I should have left then.”

Rattlesnakes—5 stars!! Classic King and a sequel of sorts to Cujo!
“Love and hate are also twins.”
“I’m still in love with you and I hate you and I’m leaving before hate gets the upper hand.”
“He waves to me….. look how tall you are!”

And if you are wondering or trying to remember what Tad’s voice in the closet said: he called for Cujo and cried “Cooooooo—“

Laurie—“he thought a person’s skin was thinner in the small hours.”

At last, the Watcher is revealed.

“Penny Taylor was my girlfriend.” Eye roll so hard. So perfectly hard.

Author needs a thesaurus. How many times can she use the word “perfect”?
