Redeeming Love (2022)

[a-lady-and-her-quill]

The city was silently bloating in the hot sun, rotting like the thousands of bodies that lay where they had fallen in street battles. An oppressive, hot wind blew from the southeast, carrying with it the putrefying stench of decay. And outside the city walls, Death itself waited— in the persons of Titus, son of Vespasian, and sixty thousand legionnaires, who were anxious to gut the City of God.

—Francine Rivers, A Voice in the Wind (Mark of the Lion series).

"Ele riu com ela, abraçou-a e beijou-a: Sentiu seus braços quando ela retribuiu o beijo. Tinha voltado para casa para valer dessa vez. Nem mesmo a morte poderia separá-los."

Round 1

The city was silently bloating in the hot sun, rotting like the thousands of bodies that lay where they had fallen in street battles. An oppressive, hot wind blew from the southeast, carrying with it the putrefying stench of decay. And outside the city walls, Death itself waited in the persons of Titus, son of Vespasian, and sixty thousand legionnaires who were anxious to gut the city of God.

My mother thinks I'm dead. Obviously I'm not dead, but it's safer for her to think so.

-Legend, Marie Lu

My friend Tomie died. Her dead body was found here and there, in pieces.

-Tomie, Junji Ito

List of Books I'm reading currently (meaning that I started them and intend to finish them but I started another in the middle so finishing them all will take time):

A Voice in the Wind - Francine Rivers

The Well of Ascension (Mistorn #2) - Brandon Sanderson

Beartown - Fredrik Backman

Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint - Sing-Shong

I'm halfway through the first and the last one and barely on the first few chapters of the second and third. Will I finish them all? I intend to. Will I potentially abandon one and add a random book to this list thereby further delaying the completion of this list? Yes.

Alright Hi so im new to this whole reading books thing but what the frick man. I thought everything was lining up to be fine and complete. And then somehow every single decision that was made from that point forward made life so much worse. Idk how people can just read so often and just become used to being thrown around this emotional roller coaster with absolutely no cares in the world. Is this why so many readers are depressed? Do you just develop the ability to not feel things!?

Book 21/50

So. Heavy.

But that aside, it was a really good book. Set in Rome, roughly 40 years after Christ. Main protagonist is a late teens christian girl who is a slave of a Roman family.

Lots of awful Roman society, some characters getting better and some getting worse as the story progresses.

I'm pretty sure I read this like 10 years ago but I couldn't remember the plot so it didn't hinder the experience.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Redeeming Love (2022) 💩

Written by the christian Danielle Steele for a very narrow audience, this movie‘s only redeeming quality is the beautiful location (Cape Town) where DJ Caruso proceeds to piss away $30M. 

The source material is loosely based on the Bible story of Hosea and Gomer peppered with a generous dose of unnecessary graphic abuse that blindsides you into what essentially is an old testament torture movie, which makes it hard to even shitwatch.

Doctor Who and mommy issues

it is little of an exaggeration to state that the first RTD era was built around the female companions' tumultuous relationships with their mothers. Jackie Tyler missing Rose but trying to accept her decisions and the new person in her life who comes with them, Francine Jones' struggle to keep her family together and safe when her daughter's seemingly drifting away from her, Sylvia Noble's harsh words towards the daughter who already hears insults from enough other places. then there's Amy's mum Tabetha, who disappears from the universe and leaves Amy with a hole in her life- eerily similar to what happens to her own daughter, Melody Pond. and River and Amy's mother-daughter connection is a whole thing by itself. there's Clara, who lost her mum and constructs stories out of it. and as Clara saves the day by imagining the days she could've had with her deceased mum, so Bill saves the day by remembering the days she had with hers.

and now there's Ruby. Ruby, who has for so long just wanted to find her mum, because her mum is the one who left her on that church doorstep, because her mum is the key to who Ruby is, where she's from, Ruby, who tells the doctor they are gonna go spend christmas with her mother and takes them to Carla and Cherry Sunday, them the three queens of the sky, Ruby who has an adoring mother who she keeps being separated from in timelines that end up abandoned. an abandoned adopted child. mother-daughter relationships defined by absence.
