Tender Is the Flesh | Agustina Mar�a Bazterrica

pick

Where to start ! - this book is grotesque, brutal , hideous but utterly compelling - I could not put it down ! A virus wipes out the animal population leading to an industry of cannibalism - and just when you think there is a flicker of goodness emerging ….
It‘s an Argentinian translation - short and very disturbing - not for the faint hearted - I think it will stay with me for a long time .

Cathythoughts Great review. I still remember it and that ending. Great book. As you say , not for the faint hearted 👍🏻❤️ 3w

emmasm08 @Cathythoughts so glad you‘ve read it Cathy if I need some post read counselling I‘ll come to you 😂- the end 🙈I don‘t think I‘ll ever forget it ! Xxx 3w

Tender Is the Flesh | Agustina Bazterrica

Well, the cozy Christmas book wasn't working for me, so I went in a...different direction. It's definitely weird. But at 200 pages, I think I can get through this one and hopefully get my mojo back.

Ruthiella This book is about as far from a cozy Christmas book as you can get! 🤢 3w

Tender Is the Flesh | Agustina Bazterrica

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Intense read for an intense boat ride! Creepy dystopian about a world without non-human animals… not a world I‘d like to live in. #cannibalism #dystopia #thoroughlydisturbed

LeahBergen Was it rough sailing? That added to this book = 🤢 3mo

shantireads11 Rough sailing, rough book 😂 hahah both made me nauseous at points! 3mo

Alive | Piers Paul Read

“I just like cannabilism.” - me
“There‘s a Facebook status” - my husband

I don‘t do FB so I‘m sharing with all of you. 😂

**He secretly thinks I will eat him if necessary.

Bookzombie Context: I was explaining that I want to see the latest movie about the rugby players who crashed in the Andes in 1972, Society of Snow. I digressed into talking about reading Alive in HS and then made that statement. 3mo

Ruthiella Totally understand! I like reading what a YouTuber coined as “disaster woman narrative” about women on the edge, making bad decisions. My own life is much more sedate. 3mo

vivastory 😂 😂 3mo

Bookzombie @Ruthiella Thanks! My life is also much more sedate. 😄 3mo

Reggie Lololol. When the lists for major book awards come out, I‘ve never read any of them. BUT when you put up the cannibal post, I‘ve only not read 3 of these. 3mo

Bookzombie @Reggie lol! I‘m the same about all the major book awards. 3mo

FlowerFairy I‘ve read five of these. So I guess I‘ll join you in the dinner party. 🤣 2mo

Bookzombie @FlowerFairy Yay! 😁 2mo

A Certain Hunger | Chelsea G. Summers

If you want to read about a female psychopath who starts dating men only to later scheme up a plan to murder them to enjoy them in a meal, this is it. The Protagonist, is a writer for food magazines who was thinking about revenge on a few men and thought, hmm let me try using a certain body part in a dish. It‘s a dark story meant to be humorous. I got it, at the end. It hit me like an Edgar Allen Poe :) #canibalism #darkstory #winterreading #libby
