Most Anticipated New Book Releases August 2024
August has the most amount of anticipated releases that Iβve have in years β Oy Vey! My bank balance is not going to like me. Iβm going to have to think creatively to acquire a little more spending money. The first six books Iβve definitely purchasing. All of them auto-buy authors and have me salivating to get startedβ¦ My Salty Mary (#3 Mary) β Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton and Jodi Meadowsβ¦

Mystery/Thriller Monday
Emily is not having a good day. She gets fired from her temp job as well as her agent (she totally screws up an audition). But, even as sheβs getting fired from her job, the CEO of the same company offers her a job. To be the housekeeper and nanny at his familyβs vacation home in France. She takes it.
Scott (the CEO), Nina (his wife), and Aurelia (his daughter) are all there, and everything seems perfect. But then come the secrets. Oh the secrets.
The slow burn and suspense is delightful here. It ramps up and ramps up and kept me turning the pages. And the characters definitely kept me reading as well. Overall the book reaffirmed the whole, βdonβt look too close at paradiseβ.
You may like this book If you Liked: The House Across the Lake by Riley Sager, The Snakes by Sadie Jones, or Out of Her Depth by Lizzy Barber
The Safe Place by Anna Downes

hey im not over this. I just went to dig it up and. it's literally the exact same shot. (except Orthax is giving Ripley a smidge more personal space, and she doesn't have the glowy-glowy ember eyes)
#the eyes backlighting them! the rising smoke! except Ripley isn't actually being taken control of and seem so down for this ride#... ok but can we still have the spoopy eyes tho please pretty please -#critical role#tlovm spoilers#tlovm#the legend of vox machina#percival de rolo#anna ripley#also wondering about the fact that shot comes at the *end* of Percy's arc w Orthax. about to kick him out.#VS this being just another day being evil for Ripley. inchresting

fav part of gideon the ninth is for the first pre-canaan house chunk of the book, she's all "ugh I'm so normal surrounded by all these weirdo goth freaks when I blow this popsicle stand everyone will see how cool and normal and charming I am" and then she gets to canaan house and realizes that while she might have been a normie jock in the ninth house she is not exempt from being a goth weirdo who hides important doors behind tapestries and sneaks around in the dark so she doesn't have to talk to people. like we talk about her being a jock forced to be goth but nature v nurture babey she's not shedding that bone freak skin anytime soon
#gideon the ninth#and she realizes this its really funny#every time she does some ninth house shit shes like damn this is some ninth house shit :/#and then she does it anyway#i actually think its a cool piece of character work: gideon goes from seeing herself outside of/in opposition to the ninth house#in the beginning of the book#to feeling a part of/a soldier for the ninth house (and harrow specifically who gideon sees as the epitome of the ninth)#even during her brief backslide where she goes and talks shit with the eighth she can't really separate herself the way she could before#and when the chips are down and isaac and jeannemary are dead she wants two things: her longsword (a relic of aiglamene's training)#and harrow#so#yeah shes a jock but shes a goth weirdo freak jock#and shes a jock of the ninth#shut up anna

and if you use anaphora and epistrophe at the same time, you unlock a whole new level of literature that nobody thought possible!! Β be careful though, it's almost TOO powerful and also repetitive
#that's how come all the best writers say welp this literature isn't going to do itself before sitting down at their keyboards#this has TREMENDOUS implications for my two original characters Anna Phora and E. P. Strophe#comics#webcomics#dinosaur comics#qwantz

She. Was. There. She was in Genosha during the massacre. She saw SO many die because people hated and feared them. She held the damaged body of a loved one in her arms till dawn.
Gotta stop seeing everything through the frigginβ lenses of a ship or another. There is more to a character and their choices than who you want to see them smooch with.
Stop it! Some of you out there really donβt deserve Rogue.
#rogue#x men 97#x men β97#anna marie#anna marie darkholme#gambit#yes#I am looking at some of you loud people#romy#shippers#you know who you are#stop dragging this ship down#these two characters deserve better#not going to lie itβs so difficult to even interract witj anything related to the ship because of a couple of really loud and entitled fans#there I said it

had a conversation last week with a 10 year old girl about the s5 finale and i canβt stop thinking about it. she said nathalie is the best because she loves adrien enough to lie to him about his father so that he stays happy. completely convinced that emilie was resurrected at the end and shocked when i suggested otherwise. iβve been dying to know what the children think happened and itβs so interesting
#anna rambles#ml s5#ml season 5#ml#i personally donβt think that adrienβs gonna find out anything in future seasons#which to me feels unsatisfying#but itβs interesting that (from my sample size of one child) maybe the kids would see that as a good thing#it felt to me like the show was framing it as a good thing at least#so it would be interesting to find out how more of the (young) target audience perceived it#bc i feel like most of the adult fans iβve seen online assume that adrien will find out or at least would find it unsatisfying if he didnt#when i asked if she thought it couldβve been amelie at the end her jaw dropped and she said βno because heβs always down there talking#about how heβs gonna bring his wife back! he says it all the time and thatβs what he did!β#& i was like. girl yeah youβre rightπ that is also what i thought when i saw itπ#anyway I need to talk to more kids about ml. for science
