What a lovely steamy sexy romance. Some parts looked slightly too much like 50 shades (what of scars and traumas), but Vicious is just grittier and angrier. I really just couldn't put this darn book down, I've been sleep-deprived for 3 nights
And I loved how Emilia, although too much on the good side, at least was not the kind of girl who can't see her beauty, but she's just different, love her fashion taste, btw

Now that work is subsiding, kinda, I feel my travel pull back, so what’s better than an on the road autobiography (then it was also #oursharedshelf choice of few years ago, and that book club is ALWAYS worthy). It’s my first Gloria Steinem and I didn’t know much about her either, and I loved most of it. It’s about travelling of course, as well as listening, and learning, and being curious and open-eyed. She talks about her mom’s depression, her dad’s obsessions, her childhood, than her life of trips as an organiser. There’s a part which dwell on politics a little too much for my interest, but I liked the overall so much as to compensate for it. And the end is about Native, and I need to learn a lot more about this culture.

Because of the writing, but I wasn't blown away, too much drama, too much of everything, horror torture pain. But what sticks are the characters. That's real. Dammit

3 1/2
Loved the setting, New Orleans, the curvy sassy heroine, the dark brown fighter rockstar.

I must say though that it dragged a bit, when it takes me more than 4 days to finish a romance, something's a bit wrong. Might be because the conflicts were all ghosts and past, or they were just the most scared characters, despite their feistiness.

Great set of characters though, and pretty steamy

A world with a virus which kills men, where only women survive, and not all anyway, and are left enhanced somehow, with they senses heightened, and able to get pregnant.
And then you have an anthropologist coming from another world, who starts her own coming of age, her own push towards consciousness.
There's electromagnetism, madness, many tribes, blood and violence and ships and viajeras. And you'll end up thinking you were really there with them all
And start thinking: what if one could really get herself pregnant?

Exhilarating sometimes, moving, impressive, real. A really good read for anyone interested in mental illnesses, and for all the rest too

Have found this book bc I'm using MyFlo app and was curious to know the rest. Basically Alisa Vitti's assumption is women have a 28 days cycle, not a 24h one as men, therefore to get the best of our bodies and mind and our way of living we should eat/do workout/plan and make love paying attention to the phases of the cycle we're in (lutheal/ovulatory/menstrual/follicular). And I find it extremely fascinating, and definitely relevant

TMI from here= I have cramps during period and it's mostly heavy, and I'm overweight enough. So basically she says everything is connected, hormones and your whole endocrine system is affected by what you eat, among the rest, and she has found the best nutrients for each phase to help the system work at its best, [+ no cheese, no sweets, little animal protein, much less coffee]

Well, I'm using it as a textbook and it's helping a lot! Plus it started a whole change in my eating habits.
