Let's Read Some $#!7 by Gérard Debuigne & François Couplan and Anna Urbanek

Welcome to another installment of Let’s Read Some $#!7 (LRSS)! In sum, the purpose of these videos is to introduce educational resources regarding the creation of video games, to promote literacy, to provide world-building tools for creatives, to provide books for escapism, and/or to get banned books into people’s view and whatever I feel like reading aloud at the time.

They go as follows: 1. Read the summary on the back of the book (if applicable). 2. Read the “About the Author” section (if applicable). 3. Read the “Forward”, “Preface”, “Acknowledgments”, and “Author’s Notes” (if applicable). 4. If there is no “Introduction”, read [part of] the first chapter.

If this is something you’re interested in, don’t forget to hit the “Subscribe” and/or “Follow” button!

Even though the purpose is education/book introduction, I only read PORTIONS because of DMCA and Copyright.

Today, I read PORTIONS of 2 books:

Homestuck update;

Preface: I am colorblind

Bun and I are about 6 parts into act 5 (voice over nexus letsread homestuck) and this is the Trolls story yeah? So I understand there's like a hierarchy based on the color of blood in troll place. Equius commented on Gamzee being of a superior blood and I paused to look at Bun and go "Wait don't they have the same color blood?"

I received the most pitying look from Bun and they go "Oh babe they all have different colors"

And then much laughter was had at my expense.

Kinda just how stuff works for me lol

Today, I read PORTIONS of 2 books:

No Easy Target by Iris Johansen Margaret Douglas has worked hard to put her painful past behind her. Raised off the grid in an abusive home, her only escape was the nearby forest in which she sought refuge whenever she could. There, in the peaceful woods, she discovered a strange gift: the ability to understand animals and to communicate with them. And so those creatures became her only friends, her only joy during a desolate childhood. Now Margaret wants nothing more than to live a quiet life, close to the animals and under the radar. But her abilities have not gone unnoticed, and there are those who would use them for their own purposes. Determined not to be a pawn in anyone’s game, every time someone gets too close, Margaret uproots her life and outruns them.   When John Lassiter breaks into Margaret’s apartment, she vanishes again, but Lassiter has good reason to be persistent. As a CIA operative, he owes his life to his men, one of whom is being held captive by an unrelenting enemy—an enemy who has set his sights on Margaret. Which means that Lassiter must control her to use her as bait.   With danger in hot pursuit, Margaret finds herself matching wits with a man who refuses to stop or be stopped. Turning from the hunted to the hunter, Margaret must use everything she has ever learned to not only survive but also to defeat a great evil. And to prove once and for all she’s no easy target.

Red Wolf by Liza Marklund BENEATH A DARK WINTER SKY…DEATH WAITS PATIENTLY. A journalist is murdered in the frozen white landscape of a northern Swedish town. Annika Bengtzon, a reporter at a Stockholm-based tabloid, was planning to interview him about a long-ago attack against an isolated air base nearby, and now she suspects that his death is linked to that attack.   Against the explicit orders of her boss, she begins to investigate the event, which is soon followed by a series of shocking murders. Annika knows the murders are connected. At the same time, she begins to suspect that her husband is hiding something, and nothing can counteract the loneliness that has crept into her life.   Behind everything lurks the figure of the Red Wolf, a cold-blooded killer with the soul of a lover. In the end, she must discover the truth not only about the murders but also about the lies that are destroying her own family.

There were always great messages interwoven in these books that kids could carry with them in their own exploration of life and the world around them.”

In a review of Woodley’s new book, Kidlio Magazine wrote, “Let’s celebrate Christmas all year round with this fascinating book that teaches children the real meaning of Christmas, introducing the joy of giving and focusing on the importance of being thankful for what you have.
