This book is driving me insane. It's so good, SO good!! Amazing, genuinely. Seeing everything move along so slowly to reading how they think, the killing method in this book is something I never would have thought of. I'm 100 pages away from the end, and they just found their first body. Now everything is quickly unraveling. The killers know so, and now they're sacrificing more so that they'll 'have enough blood' to get settled elsewhere and start again.

AND it's a duo team, AND the dominant hand of the operation is the girl.

And! The male who does the killing for the girl is in it for the sexuality in it, whereas she's in it for the blood. Reading the scene where he visits the freezer was really, really.. uncomfortable. This book is still so good.

Lisa Jackson outdid herself with this book. It's been SO long since I've been so desperate to make time to read something. I think I may have a reread sometime and annotate it. Purchasing it, I just knew I've always liked her works and that the summary was new and refreshing compared to all the thrillers I've been reading.

Oh, did I mention this takes place at a Catholic school? 😄

If you can only read 1 non-fiction and 1 fiction book for the rest of your life, what would it be? Why do you pick these books?

Do you have book or author recs to read?

Thank you :)

Well as a history fanatic, I’d want to choose All Quiet On The Western Front, just because it really does encapsulate how war should be looked at & I think it offers a very valuable perspective, especially one we rarely ever see in Western media. However, I’d want to choose that as my non-fiction, but it is a fictional story based on real events. Which feels like cheating but I honestly don’t read a lot of non-fiction, so that’s what I’m going to go with.

As for the fiction choice, surprise-surprise, probably The Hunger Games books. I feel like the impact/meaning would be lost if you wouldn’t be able to read the entire series, so I might say Mockingjay in particular, although it doesn’t stand up as well as The Hunger Games does as a stand-alone book. Mainly just because I do really enjoy the Hunger Games series. It’s such a cleverly crafted piece & holds so much societal critique with a unique love story that makes my writer’s brain go 😍AWOOGA🤤. It’s one of those masterpieces you can continue to pick apart forever & still find enjoyment & wow factor from. (At least for me it does)

As for any recommendations, I am a crime junkie at heart, so you best believe that’s what I’ll give you. There’s this series I started (& haven’t gotten to finish) by Lisa Jackson, called the Montana “To Die” series. I haven’t even finished the first book (Left To Die) but it’s absolutely THRILLING & a major page turner, so I highly recommend.

Wilfred Buck is Touring Canada on Crave!

For those Canadians who haven't seen the #documentary Wilfred Buck yet, it's now on #streaming and we have info here on how long it'll stay! As for other markets, we got a theory…

National Film Board of Canada Review link Wilfred Buck has found a home, and his story can be seen on Crave. As for when this documentary will hit HBO because this Canadian streaming service also includes their content, I assume it will be broadcast on other networks too. That may start next year. That way, fellow stargazers can look at why his passion for exploring what twinkles on the night sky…

Wicked Game - Lisa Jackson

Title: Wicked Game Author: Lisa Jackson & Nancy Bush Series: The Colony Series #1 Number of Pages: 402 Genre:  Suspense Thriller Publisher:  Zebra Date of Original Publication: January 26, 2021 ISBN: 978-1420151930

Started another series, without finishing a bunch of others, go figure. Lisa Jackson and Nancy Bush have a thriller series called the Colony Series.

Wicked Game is a slow burner. The story focuses on a woman who sees visions and she’s trying to solve the murder of her friend, while putting the pieces together of the visions. Her friend’s remains are found a decade later and their friend circle is reunited and all suspect each other.

I liked the setting and main characters within this moving storyline. Each was well rounded and the overall storyline was believable. The ending was interesting and I could see how they set it up for a sequel.

I didn’t like the pace of the book. The first half was very repetitive and overall the storyline moved slow. The first 2/3rds of the book to me were very slow moving and I had to push myself until the story actually got somewhere.

★★★ I liked it enough that I’ll read the second one but I wouldn’t put it in my top favorites.

Circe’s Note #2

Note: These are just my own observations, ideas, thoughts and theories. This is just for entertainment purposes. Also, please be respectful of my observations! It is perfectly understandable to not resonate with some of my personal observations but please do not leave any disrespectful comments! Lastly, please don’t plagiarize any of my works!Without further ado, enjoy!

**All photos are from Pinterest**

✿ Capricorn in the 3rd house can indicate the native being the more responsible sibling. They feel like the most mature sibling or they can actually be the older sibling.

✿ Men with Scorpio Venus tend to come from wealthy families.

✿ Chiron in the 10th house can actually indicate that the native will be very successful within their careers (after many setbacks) and they usually make a pretty big name for themselves.

✿ Pisces Moon women are so gorgeous 💗Ex: Wonyoung, IU, Audrey Hepburn, Winona Ryder, Vanessa Hudgens, Winter (Aespa)

✿ Also, Pisces women tend to get loads of hate for being too pretty. They are often accused of having plastic surgery...example Angelababy and Madison Beer. It could be Neptunes influence causing other people to project onto them so harshly.

✿ I can’t remember who said this already 😭 but Aquarius Suns really do have the prettiest noses. They won the nose genetics❤️ (J-hope, Rose, I.M, DK, my dad 💀) Either way their nose tend to be a prominent part of their face. 

✿ Also why is it that idol groups always choose detrimental mars as their leaders? (Ex: TXT’s Soobin (libra mars), Seventeen’s S.Coups (libra mars), Enhypen’s Jungwon (taurus mars), Twice’s Jihyo (libra mars), BTS’s RM (cancer mars), Aespa’s Karina (taurus mars)).

✿ I also can't remember who said this before (if anyone knows the original creator who said this please let me know so I can give credit) but your Mars sign (degree + house) can indicate the reasons that you get "canceled" or the reason you receive hate..

If you have an Aquarius Mars or Mars at 11, 23 degrees you could get canceled for the most random things

if you have a Libra Mars or Mars 7, 19 degrees you could get canceled for being in a relationship.

Pisces Mars or Mars at 12, 24 degrees could be canceled dr*g use or being drunk/under the influence.

Sagittarius Mars or Mars at 9, 21 degrees could get cancelled due to cultural appropriation...

Examples:

Cai Xukun has his mars in cancer and he had a scandal concerning getting a woman pregnant ( and he also has a scorpio moon and his mother allegedly hired someone to stalk her...)

Lisa has her mars in virgo and when she was on Youth With You, she got a lot of hate for being "too strict" as a mentor.

Jackson Wang recieved a lot of hate due to him constantly drinking alcohol during his concerts. (pisces mars)

G-idle's Soyeon recieved lots of backlash for "hogging attention" and she’s a Leo mars.

✿ Water sun men have the prettiest eyes…something about them is just so alluring (ex: WAYV’s Winwin, Ding Chengxin, Ding Yuxi, TXT’s Beomgyu, Stray Kid’s Hyunjin, Xu Kai, etc.)
