Didn't know what to expect. I loved it!

Tender Is The Flesh
by Agustina Bazterrica

book cover


5 stars “She had the human look of a domesticated animal” This novel is absolutely disgusting and I mean that in the most respectful way possible. The whole concept of this book—All meat is infected therefore humans cannot consume it. This leads the the massacre of farm to pet animals, ultimately resulting in the consumption of “special meat” or better known, human meat. We follow Marcos working on a processing plant going through the motions of the transition, his wife leaving, his sister’s views, his father’s declining health and a special gift: and FGP female. Honestly everyone should pick this book up. It dives into the decline of humanity and how far humans will go even trying to live normally. You see characters take certain political views of this transition and the choices Marcos makes and how he interacts with people and “food.” Though reviewing this in 2024, I read this in September of 2023 and it is hands down joining the ranks of my favorite books of all time.

Intense drama for a teen boy who is introvert. Kept me engaged and enthusiastic to keep reading and finding out what happens next. I can’t wait to see if I finish the saga.

Don't Forget To Write

Very easy read, but a fun one too. It takes place at the Jersey shore in the 60s, so locations are familiar. Can you catch the Bruce Springsteen egg? I’d recommend for a light summer read.

Guts: A Graphic Novel
by Raina Telgemeier

book cover


I wish I'd read this in my puberty years!! Raina!!! Where were you then? With two brothers and a mom who worked and attended community college, my deep shyness and fear of asking questions as well as sharing my personal concerns isolated me in my family and with my "peers" at school or elsewhere. Ughhhh. Yuk! So glad young pre-pubescent tweens, et al have validating and confidence-giving reading like this one! Ughhhhh....even hiding "used stuff" in the kitchen garbage "indiscreetly" was nerve wracking! (so my brothers wouldn't get "the secret" I was hiding!) And the products we had in the 1970's! So weird! (And my mom was overjoyed for me - "now you can have a baby!" Really? I don't want one now! What would I do with one as a tweenager?)

This was pretty good, but not as great as Behind her eyes (by same author) which is one of my top faves.

Excellent read. O'Reilly did his homework - best of his Killing series in my opinion.

When Javi Dumped Mari

I really sruggled to get through this one! While I like time jumps/ flashbacks, there were too many and they made the story more confusing. Also, I can't imagine wasting that much on a wedding just to call it off in front of all the guests.
