I gravitate towards dark reads....sometimes pitch. But like anyone I need a break from the things that too closely touch on past traumas (yeah I KNOW -people say that reading about trauma that happened to you is supposed to be a trigger. I disagree because it's super therapeutic to have everyone happy at the end). But at the same time I still crave that kind of character that has depth and development and is complex, and this series has that. While there are a few TWs to check out and talk of an abusive ex, this was a great read about a diverse polycule that you just can't help but adore....more
You know ~ when I was a kid, just starting to read, I was reading all the popular Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys, The Giving Tree.....and some other big book You know ~ when I was a kid, just starting to read, I was reading all the popular Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys, The Giving Tree.....and some other big book w another tree on it...LOL...and I picked up The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. NOW THAT was a book I got seriously into. The thought that I could so simply appear into another world where every day life was just as vivid as your imagination was something I was really excited about.
So, if you're like elementary school Amy and your books come alive, in vivid technicolor, with the words you read on a page - Then this *ADULT* version is for you. If you still dream of the first time you wished you could play hide n seek and step through, or simply wake up in another realm in your dreams, then you will absolutely devour this Narniaesque (totally a word!!) story that's all grown up.
Even better ~ there's no sacrificial lion....YET. I can't wait for the next installment to find out!...more
DSM-6 Supplemental update for September 2024 regarding Jenn Bullard Victim’s Disorder (ICD: F65.2):
As research into this devastating disorder continueDSM-6 Supplemental update for September 2024 regarding Jenn Bullard Victim’s Disorder (ICD: F65.2):
As research into this devastating disorder continues new symptoms will be periodically updated to get those suffering with JBVD the intense therapy and support they desperately need.
With the release of Saved By My Buyers, new understanding has been uncovered into understanding this devastating psychological disorder. Researchers previously understood symptoms as:
insomnia, inability to work, concentration difficulties, locking yourself in the bathroom during steamy scenes so your rude family stops interrupting with “MOM where’s my….”, sudden fits of rage that result in throwing electronics such as kindles and IPads, and the inexplicable desire to message the author known as “Tiny Pixie” and rage at her about what she puts her characters through as though this trauma actually happened to you
Symptoms have now been expaneded to include: your own childhood trauma being lived out in the FMC that randomly includes a parent that disappears and then shows back up in the same manner, having the same taste in deserts and smells, and having daddy issues that manifested in almost the same exact way
The triggering effect that SBMB has on its unsuspecting sufferers of JBVD do tend to evolve over the course of this particular work of Jenn Bullard’s with an almost therapeutic effect. As always please seek out your local JBVA Chapter for continued support. ...more

Symptoms ofIn Psychology news today: a new disorder has been added to the DSM-6 called Jenn Bullard Victim’s Disorder (ICD: F65.2) or JBVD for short.
Symptoms of this devastating psychological disorder suddenly appear after reading a book by Jenn Bullard and can include:
insomnia, inability to work, concentration difficulties, locking yourself in the bathroom during steamy scenes so your rude family stops interrupting with “MOM where’s my….”, sudden fits of rage that result in throwing electronics such as kindles and IPads, and the inexplicable desire to message the author known as “Tiny Pixie” and rage at her about what she puts her characters through as though this trauma actually happened to you
The treatment for JBVD can only be temporarily relieved while reading Liadan’s Code and will abruptly return upon finishing, prompting the sufferer to rage once again at the Pixie until she bites the heads off of more gummy bears and finishes our next dose.
If you have been afflicted with this debilitating disorder, the only known treatment is continuing to read Bullard’s body of works and joining your local JBVA Chapter for support....more

1.) Walk around while reading (pro tip: avoid areas with stairs) 2.) Make a game of it and see how much you can read between your family yelling "MOM!!" or asking where something is (that is right in front of them) -RIGHT AT THAT super, hot, steamy moment that goes down in the nest or while pack members are shifting and racing through Mother Nature (pro tip: run to the bathroom during all steamy scenes and lock the door! this pro tip may be null and void if you have children under 5) 3.) Have a little snacky snack to keep your body busy (pro tip: read with a fur baby to vacuum up anything you drop so you don't have to stop reading to clean) 4.) Read Omega's Salvation ~or literally anything by N. Slater~ and you won't be able to stop and you will not be able to blink, let alone long enough to sleep (pro tip: keep a few hours of extra PTO so you can call in sick to work after you finish this book because you'll need a nap)...more

Ok seriously. That was a waxing poetic way to say: I love Greek Mythology and this anthology did amazing justice to so many of the tales I love (what can I say? I was inspired!!).

I love seeing the balance a beta can bring to a pack in an OV story. And I especially adore that just simply caring about someone finding their own voice can make such a huge impact. I think we can all see a little of ourselves in Camila. I loved this steamy little pack. You can read Corrupt Me as a stand alone, but I highly recommend starting with Perfectly Yours (Beta Accepted #1). There's a lot going on in this universe and I can't wait to see it all unfold.
