6/24/2023 0 Comments House of stairs by william sleator![]() I was 9 years old, and up to that point I'd mostly been reading Little House books and safe, if depressing Newbery Medal winners ( Island of the Blue Dolphins, I'm looking at you). But I do remember that the book consumed me for most of the fall of 1984. I can't remember who first gave me a copy. ![]() The Sleator book I read over and over until the cover almost wore off was Interstellar Pig. He'd written more than 30 books - the best-known was probably House of Stairs, a terrifying vision of a dystopian future where five teenagers are thrown together in a strange house and slowly conditioned to turn on each other.īut House of Stairs was actually too upsetting for me as a kid - to this day I've never finished it. Ĭhildren's author William Sleator died last week at the age of 66.

I was only supposed to give him the tools he needed to find his own strength, yet somehow, in the finding of Finley, I found myself too.īut my precious boy is only 20, 19 years my junior. In my bed and in my heart. It wasn’t supposed to go this far. The more he flourishes and the more he craves from me, the tougher I find it to deny him. Before I know it, he’s under my skin. He’s so beautiful, so naturally submissive, that I’m having a hard time sticking to my rules. He takes care of my home, and he gives me control, in a strictly platonic way, even though he wants more. Instead, I decide to keep things simple, showing Finley that he can take pride on his knees but also stand on his own. I’ve certainly never had a houseboy, but when I meet Finley, I can’t seem to turn him away. ![]() ![]() This is the man I’m meant to be on my knees for. For the third time in my life, he helps me, without even knowing it, and someone like that, I can’t help but believe in. This kind of relationship requires complete trust – something I don’t give to anyone except my only friend. Handing over power would fulfill a need I feel down to the marrow of my bones. There’s nothing I crave more than being under the control of another man. I yearn to be submissive, both in and out of the bedroom. ![]() 6/24/2023 0 Comments Misjudged by Kathryn C.

So, when the content of this book actually shocked me, I didn’t know what to do with myself. I mean, being a zillennial (a millennial and generation z mix), I am pretty desensitized to most everything. Usually, I just assume that I can pick up any book and be totally fine with the content. ![]() So I would say that not a lot phases me when it comes to graphic or creepy detail. I watch horror films all year long and only recently started diving into horror novels. But have you ever read a book so disturbing and horrifying that you don’t know whether to rate it 5 stars or 1 star? That is exactly how I felt after reading Tender is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica. Nothing beats cozying up to a book like this. Atmospheric and creepy books that give you chills are the best this time of year. October is definitely the time to read spooky books, this is obvious. ![]() 6/23/2023 0 Comments Harlan coben michael j fox![]() ![]() ![]() Previously, Cush played Lois Habiba in the series Torchwood in 2009 before playing Damaris Clarke in Getting On (2010-2012).

Books – even trashy fantasy novels – are a key component of civilisation. Our cultural landscape is increasingly controlled by the permanently outraged. Zhao relies on these people for her income and is scared. But the line between listening to feedback and being bullied by very angry zealots is a thin one, and this incident seems to have crossed it. You could argue that she has ‘listened to feedback’ and acted accordingly. Of course, Amelie Wen Zhao halted publication herself. But you don’t need to like, or even read, a book to defend its right to be published. I’m not particularly into sword and sorcery stuff – though the fact that it has upset so many flakes has naturally piqued my interest. ![]() 6/22/2023 0 Comments Kami garcia comics![]() Looking for something to read?
