We just got turned off. Sounds like the books are even more rancid. I did read the GoT series and Outlander series (still am, on the most recent book) and there are rapes and torture and it is hard to read sometimes. My mind will gloss over those parts and I tend to skip read ahead if it bothers me. Hoping you can cleanse your book palate with a new great book.

I can't say I liked the Governor of the show, but he was a pretty decent bad guy, quietly menacing. The Governor of the books cuts off Rick's hand and rapes Michonne twice within about the first hour of meeting them. It was such a departure from what I know, but more than that, the whole book just took a hard, hard turn into total sadism, and I just despise that. If I have a hard and fast rule regarding what I watch or read, it's no rape or torture (and hoo boy, there's lots of that, as Michonne ultimately gets her revenge and then a lot more.) Invoke either one of those two things and I'm out, out, out. It's lazy clutch writing, and it really wasn't that compelling to begin with. So TWD: The Book/Doorstop and I are parting ways. Glad I branched out and tried a totally new genre, but I didn't care for the subject matter at all, even knowing the world of TWD as well as I already do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-38572194407227394272017-02-27T17:43:29.107-05:002017-02-27T17:43:29.107-05:00I did!

Got a little hokey with the Governor's daughter and all that. Though we did like seeing the Governor/Copy Cat Doctor Who guy. Enjoy your book!! It should count as like 2-3 books.

I had to hold his little head and pinch the corners of his mouth to get him to open then try to inject the meds far enough in for him to swallow. He was trying to squeeze my fingers off using his constrictor skills. <br /><br />Those are both good news/bad news scenarios. But we will look at the good side! It will be fun.

Looks like you got your hands on some more Koopa Troopa - it's so, so yummy.<br /><br />I'm also making my way through a monster book - actually, a compendium of the first 48 issues of The Walking Dead (for the second theme of an art book, a comic, a graphic novel...) It's GIGANTIC! I think it weighs nine pounds. I have to sit at a table to read it because I can barely hold it up. My forearms are so going to be the size of my head by the time I'm done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-54011718810084753322017-02-25T12:37:28.623-05:002017-02-25T12:37:28.623-05:00I'm curious to hear how the Rosegirls stuff pe...I'm curious to hear how the Rosegirls stuff performs.<br /><br />I had to chuckle at the idea of giving a snake medicine. I'm seeing all sorts of scenarios in my head. lol<br /><br />Good news? Well, Casey is moving out and hubby is getting a tractor. Those could also be bad news items because, well, my baby is finally flying the coop, and the tractor puts us back in debt. *sigh* I'm hanging in there though!<br /><br />~DebDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05658958620972494748noreply@blogger.com
