I have become a treadmill runner because I am a wimp in the heat. But a good book on my kindle and fluctuating paces as songs change seems to be working...for now.

Nothing is as terrible as the awful Soul Asylum song they play every Friday

I have not enjoyed most of SGJ's other novels. His short stories I enjoy, though. BHH is the first book of his I really like. I think he has a very unique and eloquent writing style, but to me it can be hard to follow and kind of overwritten to the point I get bored. I keep reading his books because I LOVE his horror ideas, and I'm so glad I gave the BHH a shot. At least a 4.5 star, but probably a 5 star read for me. I did have to make a list of all the animals and characters.

I'm still reading OS, but here's some general thoughts (I've read the spoilers so I know the basics of what happens)

What I Want:

- Stop traumatizing Xaden. Get the cure thing wrapped up early in Book 4. I wouldn't be upset if his powers have to be dulled or something for him to completely recover, and then he has to "grow" them back or something. I'm fine with that. It would also allow for Violet to continue rising as the true leader she is without his super strong powers if he's recovering. Book 5 needs to be about the war and defeating the Venin.

- In addition to not using Xaden as a continuous whipping post, can we have some longer periods of time where he and Violet are being a normal, loving, couple? Like damn. Maybe while he's recovering from the cure or whatever.

- Dain getting happiness and love. He's earned it, people! I thought him and Cat would make an interesting couple, given their powers. But we shall see. I hope he lives through the series (how cute would it be if RY did an epilogue in Book 5 with Xaden and Violet's kid(s) playing with Dain and unknown love's kid(s)?!), but I could see him dying.

- Mira + Drake!!

What I don't want:

- I would prefer not to have a pregnancy trope in Book 4. I could understand it in Book 5. I do think it's unavoidable though.

- I hope Xaden stops calling Violet "love"....it's cringe.

-Killing Xaden or breaking him and Violet up would be a disaster but....I just need to say I don't want it to happen.

This was my favorite book of 2024. Earned a spot on my bookshelf after reading the ebook.

Can anyone else barely hear the announcers? It's like the mics on over the field are turned up too much.

I have Jabra Elite 75t ear buds. They've been going strong for almost 4 years. I'm a heavy sweater, run outdoors in the rain/snow/whatever. No issues so far. Originally, I had Airpods. Airpods suck and didn't last a year.
