Escaping Exodus is one of those books that is so uniquely its own--not without its flaws, but it will be a long time before this book fades from memory. The worldbuilding is what really sticks out: a matriarchal and fiercely polyamorous society makes the innards of gargantuan, living space beasts their home. When the current space beast starts to die, they jump ship (literally) to the next beast in the herd. So cool, right? That's not to say this book is perfect... There are too many plot threads, and I wish the book was more focused. It's overly ambitious--but I'd rather too much ambition than too little!! If you want a super trippy sci-fi with some body horror elements, maybe give this one a try. It's a 3 star read for me. . . . . #arcreview #readersofinsta #booksaremylife #bookobsessed #readersofinstagram #yabookstagram #bookgeek #netgalley #booksbooksbooks #bookblog #bookblogger #tbr #booknerd #bookish #bookshelf #bookclub #bookreviewer #bookworm #bookalicious #bookaholic #prettycover #fiercefemales #scifibooks #instabook #bookishlife #bookishpost #bookishflatlay #bookphotography #prettybook
This is the book that really convinced me I never want to visit the Amazon! 😂 The MC, Danny, has a page one plane crash in the woods and spends the book struggling to survive, along with her narcissistic TV star dad, a reality TV crew, and a teen heartthrob. For some reason I was thinking it would be a fluffy read, but the author really pulled no punches, not just in terms of the dangers of the jungle, but also in how Danny has to come to terms with who her father really is. This was a fun 4 star read for me, but go in knowing that the author is going to throw ALL the creepy crawlies your way! 🐛 Thanks to @inkyardpress for sending an ARC my way! . . . . #arcreview #readersofinsta #booksaremylife #bookobsessed #readersofinstagram #yabookstagram #bookgeek #yafiction #booksbooksbooks #bookblog #bookblogger #tbr #booknerd #bookish #bookshelf #bookclub #bookreviewer #bookworm #bookalicious #bookaholic #bookrecommendations #fiercefemales #yabooks #yareads #instabook #bookishlife #bookishpost #bookishflatlay #bookphotography #prettybook
Mama dog and puppy 🐶 Thanks @rebeldogcoffeeco for being the best coffee shop ever. 💗
Enough with lame descriptions like "His blue eyes flashed!" One thing I've noticed reading the Sookie Stackhouse books is that Charlaine Harris is an expert at describing how characters look. Try keeping your descriptions voicey and relevant to the present moment in the narrative. Use description to show us something deeper about the character, like in this quote, where the description is both voicey as hell, but also ties the MC's appearance into where she's from, AND demonstrates how smart she is, contrary to appearances, by use of the phrase ipso facto. It's like a masterclass in description. . . . . #sentenceoftheday #writersofinstagram #writersofig #authorlife #writerscommunity #authorsofinstagram #writersofbookstagram #novelwriting #amwriting #readersofinsta #booksaremylife #bookobsessed #readersofinstagram #trueblood #sookiestackhouse #writingadvice #booksbooksbooks #bookblog #bookblogger #bookaddict #instabook #bookishlife #bookishpost #halloweenreads #writingcommunity #aspiringauthor #wip #writersblock #writingofig #vampirebooks
