![]() ![]() This story uses a dual timeline, which can go both ways for me, but in this case it didn’t bother me as much as the two timelines are not that far apart. And while I somehow wasn’t completely blown away by it, there is no doubt that The Rose Code is a thoroughly developed, multi-layered and intriguing read that mixes historical facts with fiction seamlessly. ![]() The promise of a focus on WWII code breaking and a mysterious traitor sounded absolutely fantastic and I have been looking forward to finally pick it up ever since my request was approved. ![]() I have a weak spot for WWII historical fiction and after a fantastic experience with The Huntress I added her newest title The Rose Code to my list of most anticipated releases as soon as I first heard about it. *** A copy of this book was kindly provided to me by Netgalley and HarperCollins in exchange for an honest review. “When a girl has broken national security to ease your mind about your family’s lying in the path of an invasion route, she has officially become a friend.” 2023 Netgalley And Edelweiss Reading Challenge.2017 Netgalley And Edelweiss Reading Challenge. ![]() ![]() ![]() Listen Julia, the fossils have been there for a thousand years, they are not going anywhere. It mostly bothered me though because Rafe clearly had issues with the cave, but did she care? Nope. There were a LOT of other things going on and she’d be whining about the cave. I also hated how set she was on going to the caves, right this minute. She just very naive (and not in a good way). And I highly doubt a lady with little education would ever be able to make a living writing articles or trying to write books about her discoveries. I had doubts about her education and found it hard to believe she would know so much about fossils, given her upbringing. They’d be in the middle of trying to track the guy who tried to kill her and she’d get distracted by a fossil and then get upset when Rafe wanted to keep going. She had complete tunnel vision and cared little for anything else. I guess my biggest complaint is her obsession with the caves and fossils. I don’t even know where to begin with her. I can’t think of another heroine that annoyed me as much as she did. I actually liked Rafe and Ethan, they’re probably the only reasons I kept reading. I thought the sample was good and decided to go ahead and get it. ![]() I’ve seen this series around quite a bit lately and finally decided to give it a try. Oh boy, this will probably be one of those reviews where I just end up venting the whole time. ![]() ![]() ![]() Stahl has has been writing about public land and conservation issues in the western United States for twenty-five years and has worked as a journalist, editor, author, copywriter and public relations professional. “Paddling Idaho,” a guidebook about kayaking, rafting, canoeing and SUPing the rivers and lakes of Idaho, the Whitewater State. “Deception at the Diamond D Ranch,” a Rocky Mountain mystery about a retired smoke jumper who returns to the wilderness to look for a missing young man, ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Ana is desperate to do everything right, and make all the right choices.

Tourmaline, artist, activist, and writerĪ must read for those interested in dismantling systems of oppression and in trans/queer liberation. Stanley's queer and trans stories rise beyond assimilation, honoring our gorgeous survival and refusals as resistance. ![]() Lauren Berlant, author of * Cruel Optimism *Ītmospheres of Violence offers a generous and generative reminder that queer and trans lives have always been bigger and more brilliant than the deadly state that tries to frighten and cajole us.

Maybe it was just the chill I felt in my bones, my heart, in that useless stuff called flesh and blood. I’d say it was a crisp autumn day, but every day is so Goddamn hot anymore, it’s hard to tell. I don’t remember when it was, I first spotted a femme droid in the city she was standing there like any other creep, waiting for the bus home from work. But then again, that just gets worn down by an ever-pressing weariness, the kind that draws the life out of you, bit by bit, until the morning you pull your knife on that stranger in the mirror. ![]() No, now the only thing that grips you, day after day, is worry. Used to be you’d ask a lady for her digits, call her up, and if you were lucky, you’d spend a night enjoying the warm embrace of another human.
