Poorly Spelled Book Review #1 For Whom the Belle Tolls by Jaysea Lynn

First book of 2025 and it was an amazing pick. You dont have to know about the authors amazing tiktok scetch series, Hells Belles, to enjoy but I really enjoyed the little nods the the series and being introduced to characters I already loved. Im not the biggest fan of Romance, so I read this more for the fantasy aspect, but the romance and spice that was there was incoperated so well that it didnt throw me off. I loved how the romance help the story along, and didnt take over the entire story (which is the problem I usully have with romance books). It might have been easier for me because I was already inlove with the characters. Seeing there story play out was amazing. This is deffently a must read!!!

Also as off this time it is only avaible on Kindle but will deffiently buy when it comes out in paper format.

Five out of Five Stars

Ride the Lightning, 1984.

Every aspect of this album was an improvement over Kill ‘Em All. The writing, the composition, and the variety of sound.

Fantastic album.

There was an error edition of the vinyl albums. A small number of the first printings were produced with a green hue. They’ve been bootlegged and copied. Original error editions are VERY valuable in the vinyl collector’s world.

The only single was “Creeping Death”, and it’s about the Israelites fleeing Egypt. Stoned Sour did a great cover of it. Great, great track.

My picks for the best are basically Metallica’s signature song, “For Whom the Bell Tolls” and “Fade to Black”.

“For Whom the Bell Tolls” is the song you’re going to expect when you see them live, and be fucking pissed if they don’t play it. Cliff Burton’s bass chromatic intro is based on what got him hired by the band. It’s… iconic.

“Fade to Black” is the perfect example of them broadening their musical tastes. The acoustic intro was initially derided by the hardcore fans. This climactic ode to suicide is one of their best.

55! Fly Around by Bill Wurtz!

Congratulations! You hit a Not Flickerstick song! lol. I went on a big Bill Wurtz kick again in the late summer so he's got a number of songs sprinkled throughout the lower half of my list :3

I was planning for Ephemer week for a while but between classes it is just me making each piece for the day the same day

I know it's not my A game and stuff but the love is there as I want to do this and try no to be too hard on myself bc yeah I want to have fun.

School was asking me for so much to be right and I am glad we got some break time to rest.

It is fine if some come a bit messy but as long as I had fun and a laugh it is good enough in this case because this is for me and to celebrate Ephemer.

I FINISHED THUNDERHEAD LAST NIGHT 😭😭😭😭

it feels like someone has shattered my heart and buried the pieces somewhere i can’t find.

i feel empty and broken 😭 but at the same time, I MADE MY HEART BEAT 1000 BPS 🫣

i’m gonna wait around 30 minutes before i start The Toll, i feel like i just need to comprehend and accept what the actual hell just happened in Thunderhead.

i think it was 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

DEFINITELY 👍🏾

Post by: LoisLibrarian Scythe (Book 1) Thunderhead (Book 2) The Toll (Book 3) By Neal Shusterman Cover: It’s not my favorite cover, but I do think it fits the book decently. It doesn’t capture the whole story, but does give you a part of it. Story: ★★★★ So, I struggled a bit with this book.

(call comes in on 911) ME: 911, what is the address of the emergency? CALLER: Hello! This is Devin calling for our valued Americard member-- ME: I'm sorry. You've reached 911. Do you have an emergency? CALLER: ...No. Not calling for 911. I am calling for our valued Americard member-- ME:(realizing that a spam telemarketer has gotten to 911 by mistake) No. This is 911 in Metro County. What is the address of the emergency? CALLER: *hangs up*

Book review: Arc of a Scythe by Neal Shusterman

Rating:

Scythe - 4⭐️

Thunderhead - 5⭐️

The Toll - 5⭐️

Gleanings - 4,5⭐️

(Scythe) Very different and futuristic concept that deals with interesting topics. Humanity has achieved immortality due to artificial intelligence, but has to control the population somehow. And for that they have created the Scythes, a group of humans who kill or glean (as they prefer to call it) the citizens. Although they want to get rid of the human characteristics from the time of the age of mortality, they don't see themselves getting rid of them now. So it is interesting to see how the author talks about politics, morality and common sense of people, and also mortality, wrapped up in small disputes that offer us an original reading.

(Thunderhead) OH MY F*** GOD! In this book it is utterly clear how thorough the author was when creating this world. It's a simply amazing piece of work. Yes, it has a somewhat slow pace. But it's on purpose, and has been so since the first book. And I understand that for certain people that might not be ideal, but I think it suits this particular book like a glove. And my goodness, this ending was the cherry on top of the cake. What it made me feel, many books don't even come close to achieving.

(The Toll) Woaw, what a ride!!! What an unexpected but genius ending that does justice to the plot that was built up throughout the books. I'm not even going to say much more.

(Gleanings) I think my opinion is biased. I was reading and I was reminiscing about the other books. I just love the opportunity of having more short stories, knowing extra things to connect the dots, it's just so wholesome. I don't know what to say more.

im kidding but also like. holding that baby really did rejuvate miguel lmao. genuinely very funny that getting ribbed by peter and chilling out w mayday for two minutes reset his entire roiling emotional state back into equilibrium and like. from there miguel reapproaches explaining canon to miles w more patience and empathy which that conversation actually deserved.

“For Whom the Bell Tolls”, live 1985.

[tacoma-narrows]

aaaand 16

16! Lift (With Love We Will Survive), also by Flickerstick!

Don't be surprised that Flickerstick is a lot of these, they take up almost half of my top hundred lmao. I'm surprised this one's this high up tho since it's not one of my go-to's from Welcoming Home the Astronauts, but ig that just goes to show how much I listened to that album this year lol
