Review: Crowbones by Anne Bishop

Review: Crowbones by Anne Bishop

Series: The Others #8Author: Anne BishopPublisher: AceReleased: March 8, 2022Received: NetGalley Crowbones is the latest novel in Anne Bishop’s The Others series. If you haven’t heard of this series, let me tell you! You’re in for quite the treat. Currently, The Others is spending a bit of time near The Jumble, a rustic resort VERY near the creatures that go bump in the night. Vicki DeVine owns…

[whatsaweekend]

It seems like Vicki’s love interest is Julian, but honestly she spends way more time thinking about Grimshaw

Although there was a little throwaway line earlier in this book about kissing someone and finding out there’s no chemistry but wanting to remain friends which could very well be something that happens in the next book featuring Sproing (no current news on the next one)

Ichabod's story, from beginning to end.

Top Books of 2022

The Monsters We Defy by Leslye Penelope Jazz age fantasy set in the Black community of D.C. A protagonist who (literally) can't refuse a request for help, dangerous spirits, and a diverse group who (refreshingly) can set aside differences and work together well.

The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle Classic fairy tale. Even better than the movie! I can't believe it took me this long to read it.

A Marvellous Light by Freya Marske Edwardian bureaucracy meets English magic. A fantastic magic system and a sweet romance.

Crowbones by Anne Bishop A fantasy-horror mystery. I've really loved Bishop's expanded world of the Others and this was a return to the characters of Lake Silence with a great Halloween theme.

The Playful Brides series by Valerie Bowman Regency Romances based famous plays. This has been my comfort series through this long year. The main character of the first book is walking chaos and sets many of the sequels in motion. They're ridiculous, but heartfelt and just what I've needed.

Archivist Wasp and Latchkey by Nicole Hornher-Stace Dystopian sci-fi/fantasy. These were so weird. And good. And weird. The author did an incredible job thinking through how time can play telephone with words and concepts.

Thank you for the tag @alexxxaloy

Oh dear Lord I kind of suck at this, but…

a bit more about me...

Last song:

I'm listening to a looping playlist with Lord of the Lost and Within Temptation, but the last song was "One Last Song" by Lord of the Lost.

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=wLznWvBny8Y&feature=share

Currently watching:

I don't watch a lot of shows, mostly I read, listen to music and the news, and read som more... it's kind of in my "name" 😅

When I watch anything , it is mostly YouTube, currently my favorites are Rachel Maksy, Morgan Donner and listening to old Citation Needed episodes by The Technical Difficulties (Tom Scott and 3 friends)

Current obsession:

Horizon zero dawn❤️ and Horizon forbidden west ❤️(I might have a problem....)

- I got the Horizon Zero Dawn coloring book and the Horizon Forbidden West art book 2 weeks ago (already had HZD artbook and the comics, whant more!) Oh, I also own a lot of @godliath digital Ereloy stuff

- I've started making 3 horizon (sort of) original cosplays/costumes (Banuk villager, Oseram brewer and Nora hunter) but I don't plan on them being finished until september 2024. I just need my body to work and get some energy again.. (breathing without pain would be nice, freaking asthma)

- Replaying HZD with Frozen Wild, I "gotta catch them all" to every thing including all the datapoints (so close now!) I started doing the same with HFW before Burning Shores, but somehow I lost a powercell in the base and a crate in a ruin so I need to start over😓

- Re-reading every thing Ereloy (my favorit ship with my favorit boy Erend 🥰) on AO3 + a few more in the Horizon 'vers

- Just startede with a few drawings to test ideas for a second Ereloy painting (still need get back that energy, long covid sucks big time🤬)

Currently reading:

I read a lot, like when my body hurts too much, when my brain needs a break, when I'm bored, sometimes when I work and Ialso read for fun.. On average 3 hours (or more) a day, often 300+ pages in a day and multiple books at the same time, and before I found AO3 that meant 500 or more books in a year.

So just now on AO3 I'm reading

The Moth and Horizon au Twin Flames 🥰

On my kindle I just finished two of the books here today, and I am currently reading a few others

Anne Bishops - Crowbones

Anna Hackett - Hex

Lisa Edmonds - Mortal Heart

Vanessa Nelson - Hunted

Ilona Andrews - Magic Claims

Also, a few actual books, like I can hold them in my hand😮

Horizon Forbidden West Art book

William C. Diet - For Those Who Fell

Glen Cooper- De dødes bibliotek

Håvard Dahl Bratrein - Høvding, jarl, konge

I think that is it from me for now 🤷🏼‍♀️

If you have'nt already and feel like it (nine is a lot🙃) it would be fun to know more about you

Day 351

i forgot yesterday was Mario day. Mario day was post day 350. Blessings. Annnyways.

Listo:

Laundry/cleaning, Reading, Dailies, Vamp shiz, Watching.

Laundry/cleaning - Picked up a few things here and there, also scrubbed the floor a little where some kind of color thing had gotten wet and stained the floor. Fixed that~! ✔

Reading things - - Ok, real talk. One of the holds that i’ve had sitting around for a little while? Yea. i just today realized this was book four of a series - that i haven’t read any of. So. Sigh. Book 1 is now on hold. Sigh. Sitting at 3 holds, #2 on 1 copy on two of them, #1 on 1 copy on the other. Technically also on hold for book 1 at another library, which is #3 on 4 copies. So. Shrug. - Crowbones by Anne Bishop 100%! 5🌟*stares off into the distance* i love this book with my entire soul. i love this series. i love this author. i crave more. i know, logistically, at this point - that is impossible. However. i. crave. more. Whew. i kept having to slow my roll and not plow through the book even faster, because Anne is a delightful evil woman who ends 80% of her chapters with delightful, evil little cliffhangers. And i needed to know what the fuck was going on. i pieced a few things together, before the end, but not everything. And that’s wonderful. What a viciously delightful book. This was also book 50 for the year. Perfection. - The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea by Axie Oh 9%! This is a hold that came in, today i think. It is a book inspired by Spirited Away and Korean mythology - i am all about this! - Manhwa: Survive as the Hero’s Wife 2 chapters of this read Nope🚫! UwU♡ ✔✔🚫

Dailies - - Waifu Did mah dailies! Also, level 40/50 BP now~! AND! Tree lvl 26/50! Also! 16/39 max friendship namecards acquired! (Not everyone is my friend yet, stop fucking shaming me oml i can only roll so much! xD) New MONTH! new weeklies! ♡ω♡. ✔ - FFXIV did mah dailies~ MSQ +0 -> 74, BTN +0 -> 80, CUL +0 -> 80, WVR +0 -> 80, GSM +0 -> 77, FSH +0 -> 65, MIN +0 -> 74, ALC +0 -> 69, LTW +0 -> 65, ARM +0 -> 65, CRP +0 -> 64, BSM +0 -> 65. Vath 0/0 Rank 8/9 Bloodsworn, Vanu 1650/1730 Rank 7/9 Sworn, Moggles 300/1730 Rank 7/9 Sworn. 5 MSQ quests. Just started Securing the Saltery. Did not play today. Not sure when i will again. Something something Squeenix president supporting NFT’s and that’s trash something. 🚫 - Cozy Grove - Doot doot continuing to scout along! Scout rank 15/17! (43/47 spirit logs left until rank 16) ♡ω♡ ✔

my fifth max friendship! Lee Berry Dennings ♡ω♡  - Pokémon Legends: Arceus - Star 7/10 get! 107 caught, 65 max level research pages~ Did some questing, and some gathering of bags~! ✔

UwU♡ ✔🚫✔✔

Vamp shiz - 0 words written! Up to 9511. 1687 words for pt6. Always the grind for the next part - but none today. Nope🚫

Watching things - - Konohana Kitan episode 1&2! Nope🚫 - Unsleeping City 2 episode 9 done! Nope 🚫

Other things - Tarot draw - Breathe in, breathe out. The Emperor, Ace of Pentacles, Tower. Oh. So much positivity - and then Tower. But! Granted. The Tower comes first, sure it was drawn last, but it comes first. Some kind of chaos, upheaval - maybe my result of my sleep study? - and then success. Some kind of calculated risks taken - perhaps Sir's new phone he snagged to do offerwalls? - and then success, wholeness, prosperity, material and spiritual alignment. The Tower comes first, i can feel it in my bones. Tower and the risks. It’ll be ok. It feels right and ok.

Other than that - it is snowing like holy shit. We’re supposed to get 4-5 inches accumulation? Bitch i was 70 degrees like 2 days ago wtf. Whew.

Hopefully, once i’ve gotten this blasted sleep study done, and gotten some answers, i can... get back to things. Watching things. Writing things. Ugh. Whatever. It was a day. i slept decently. Took another naughty pill last night. Going to do the whole weekend. It’ll be nice. i’m sleepy now. Pain was middling-high - migraine and oh gods the cold hurts us precious - and my brain was hyperfocus books go brr!

Food: A Liquid: A Pain: C Brain: B

Tomorrow: Laundry/cleaning, Reading, Dailies, Vamp shiz, Watching.

Ever Onwards and Upwards!

This Chick Read: Crowbones (World of the Others #3) by Anne Bishop

This Chick Read: Crowbones (World of the Others #3) by Anne Bishop

Set in the world of the Others made famous by Anne Bishops’s novel Written in Red, we return to The Jumble. The setting and characters that we got to know in Lake Silence. Vicki, as proprietor of the Jumble, a kind of vacation spot deep in the territory, has friends and guests over for Trickster Night. A kind of Halloween inspired evening where you get tricks or treats. She is firmly on the treat…

[jaenellehilligas]

CROWBONES is a new release from Anne Bishop in her "Others" universe. As one of my favorite authors I had to drop everything and reading it as soon as it was delivered. It did not disappoint. My favorite line from this book also displays perfectly the overall theme of this world: "If your behavior attracts attention, you have to explain that behavior to someone who might eat you." 💀 #crowbones #annebishop #newrelease #theothers #theworldoftheothers #novel #book #workoutreads #fantasy #terraindigene (at Badger, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdztpbQMyeD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Last song: Uhh...I don't even remember? Spotify is always on as background noise while I work so I never feel like I remember what I play during the day. I think because I was on a 90s playlist it was Hanson's "Mmmbop"

Currently reading: I finally just finished Crowbones by Anne Bishop and I'm going to back to my rereading of her World of the Others verse with Marked in Flesh. (I highly recommend her stuff if you like urban fantasy)

Currently watching: Moon Knight

Last movie: In theaters, Spider-Man No Way Home. At home, The Princess Bride - the go-to movie that covers pretty much every genre.

And yet. And yet. This book was honestly two manuscripts shoved into one - and it hurt for it. Connie, Connie was absolutely AMAZING. i lived for her. Her story was fantastic, coming to love and accept herself, and the fact that she's sapphic. i loved that, watching her come into her own. Adelle on the other hand? Oof. Disaster from start to finish. - The Midnight Girls by Alicia Jasinska 100%! 2.5>3🌟 2.5 rounded up to 3. Oops a book snuck in!

So much babbling and fluff and blah blah blah. Yes, i adore how deeply sapphic it is. Yes, i love love LOVE a lot of things about it, chaotic morally gray monster girls who hatelovelovehate each other (i hate you so much, you can NOT die unless I am the one who kills you!), rivals-mostly-to-lovers, so so so deeply sapphic. i just... wish it wasn't so fluffed. - Crowbones by Anne Bishop 37%!

Hell yes. It gives me time to get into get the test, get the test done, and maybe! Maybe! Even get the results back before my next Therapist appointment!
