I’m an avid reader, some might say voracious. I never feel complete until I’m knee deep in a good book and if I don’t have a stack of at least 10 ready to go? I get twitchy.
Needless to say I live on Amazon and worship their Prime 2 day delivery. (If you mention the word Kindle? You’re dead to me. Reading is, and always will be, a tactile pleasure. Period.)

About a week ago I did the unthinkable and ran through my unread pile in record time leaving me with *gasp!* only one book unread.
So just as I logged on to cruise the new releases, the husband started hollering at me to go help him with something in the barn. Rushing, I made a few quick picks because bookless is something I can not be. Without fully reading descriptions or reviews, I picked this one about a food critic because it had 4 out of 5 stars.

Well… technically it is about a food critic. But after sampling an exquisite torta ai fichi e limone, she has raunchy, not to mention quite descriptive, sex with her lover… kills him… and then harvests his tongue to cook and savor later.
Yes. She’s a sexually insatiable Hannibal Lecter.
*Note to self- always read descriptions and reviews*
River's world..... 
Seriously, Kindle is a four letter word in my bibliophile repertoire, okay not really but you know what i mean, I love actual books. Somehow I can’t read any electronic version because I get bored and don’t finish, go figure. Anyway, I’m going to have to check that book out, she sounds like my kind of gal….lmao.

If I’d known what was coming, that would have been okay. But this way it was a bit of a shock.

I know what you mean about needing at least one book to read. Have you read any of Louise Penny’s books? C. J. Sansom? Sansom has a terrific series based in Tudor England. Penny has an incredible series based on Quebec police and a community called Three Pines. Fabulous character development in both.

I just started Kindle a year ago. I read both print and Kindle (or library app)…partly because I can adjust the font size and partly because there is no more space for more books so help me god…😬
But hey that book sounds promising. 😄

I can’t keep my books, we’d be buried like the Collier brothers in a few months. I trade with friends, donate to our local library and drop off at our recycling center for free browsing.

I’m afraid I’m a Kindle fan. I’d have nowhere to store a book every few days otherwise. The book you chose would not make the cut with me. The cover alone would put me off!

If you don’t like the cover….. you really wouldn’t like the inside.

No review on how the tongue tasted? What kind of food critic is she?

That sounds like an interesting read. Truthfully, I don’t do Kindle. I am old fashioned and prefer turning pages.

LOL! I am the same way, total avid reader and I get antsy if I don’t have something picked out, on the go. Although lately (probably pandemic to blame) I’ve been very uninterested or I just haven’t found a good book I can sink my teeth into… Hopefully that changes soon!!! Great post! Yes, reading full description is a must! Lol

I love nothing more than finding a new author who’s written a 12 part series. I start at one and happily fly through them…

That book would have landed in my NTBR pile before you could complete your favorite tongue twister.
Not gonna read it.
Wouldn’t enjoy it.

In a strange way it’s educational. I’m learning lots about gourmet food…. and more about cannibalism than I ever needed to.

You can buy on Amazon from Goodwill. And libraries that are selling. Just look under other options. My books no longer need to be new….
