Author Calla Devlin on the Importance of Journalism

Calla Devlin

“One problem: I was awful. Terrible. Dreadful. Just shy of the worst. This isn’t false modesty. I sucked. I didn’t have the skill or tenacity or personality to be a journalist. I understood the story—how to paint a picture, draw out characters, and write something with suspense and intrigue. But facts, truth be told, bored me. My talent didn’t come close to my passion.”

Taylor Swift | evermore but it’s books Wanted to do this ever since I started seeing book titles at work that were also @taylorswift song titles. Obviously I took some artistic liscence with some in order to get the song title in there (’tis the damned season, marjorie, cowboy like you, etc) but you get the idea. Also, the authors and other parts of the covers are blurred in order to make the title stand out more. It’s not meant to insult the author and I’ve listed all the authors under the cut below, so don’t get all Tumblr butthurt about it :P Colouring by siguo :)

Books 1. Willow by Denise Brennan-Nelson 2. Champagne Problems by Staci Hart 3. Gold Rush by Karin Cox 4. ’Tis by Frank McCourt / The Damned Season by Shani Struthers 5. Can You Tolerate This? by Ashleigh Young / It by Stephen King 6. No Body No Crime by Ray Tough 7. Happiness by Helen Mortimer & Cristina Trapenese 8. Dorothea by Catherine Moorhouse 9.

Name: Callaghan Devlin

Nickname: Calla, Hanny

Species and Race: deer hybrid

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Gender Identity: Male

Preffered Pronouns: He/Him

Height: 5'0

Sexuality: Bi

Personality: Callaghan is a sweetheart through and through. He's not known for violence.

Description:He has two large, red antlers and cute little deer ears with a deer tail.

Likes: running around with other's, maiing new friends, writing in his notebook

Dislikes: people making fun of him for not being able to speak, being seen as a burden, other deer hybrids

Fears: arachnophobia

Background: Callaghan was born into a herd of deer hybrids that didn't treat him to well. They never accepted him into the herd cause his more predatory appearance and behaviors. He left with his best friends and joined them with their pack, which is where he is to this day.

Body And Looks: He has dark brown hair, mint green eyes with slit pupils, light skin, midnight black freckles all over his face, and sharp canines. He has a natural mark of red on his left cheek, white across his nose, and blue on his right cheek. His nose itself changes from black to red every now and then. He stands at 5'0 and seems to have a more feminine body shape.

Clothing Style And Accessories: He usually wears an american flag bandana, a large camo jacket, a grey shirt, black jeans, and a pair of knee high high-heeled boots.

Extra Info: He can not speak due to damaged vocal cords but he can make and imitate sounds. He also doesn't live in a house by himself and seems to stay with a multitude of other people in a large mansion. (He says that the people there in the mansion are his forever "herd" when they're actually a pack of multiple different types of hybrids)

He lives with his best friends in the new pack! His friends are Nik, a shark hybrid, and Sevastian, a panda hybrid! The leader of the pack is Alpha, a giant wolf hybrid! Meaning he's quite large in both human and wolf form! He basically adopted Callaghan the moment he saw the small deer hybrid. Then there's Sire, a giant boar hybrid(a little bit larger then Alpha) who acts as the medic of the pack! He's saved Callaghan so many times but understands that the small deer hybrid doesn't really know the extreme dangers the pack faces cause Callaghan's original herd only had to deal with the threat of coyotes and coyote hybrids! There's also so many more hybrids in the pack! Including a giant bat hybrid named Onyx, a white rhino hybrid named Jax, a hippo hybrid named Kyran, a couple of saltwater/freshwater crocodile and alligator hybrids, and more! The alligator hybrid is Crash, the saltwater croc hybrids are named Jasper and Locke, and the freshwater croc hybrid is named Key! (Locke and Key are best friends, Jasper is Locke's older brother)

((WARNING:THE NEXT CHARACTER IS AN ARACHNID HYBRID))

Last but not least the last character that is fully developed is Null, a Vinegaroon(these are also known as Whip Scorpions) hybrid. He takes care of the young for the pack while the mothers rest at night. It's a surprise that he can get near Callaghan, due to the deer hybrids arachnophobia. It's actually because of the Vinegaroon's job in the pack that Callaghan feels safe enough to be around Null but no one knows that except Callaghan himself.

Автор: Калла Девлин Книга: Скажи мне что-нибудь правдивое Итоговая оценка: 3/10 Дата прочтения: 20.02.2017 Аннотация: Three sisters struggle with the bonds that hold their family together as they face a darkness settling over their lives in this masterfully written debut novel. There are three beautiful blond Babcock sisters: gorgeous and foul-mouthed Adrienne, observant and shy Vanessa, and the youngest and best-loved, Marie. Their mother is ill with leukemia and the girls spend a lot of time with her at a Mexican clinic across the border from their San Diego home so she can receive alternative treatments. Vanessa is the middle child, a talented pianist who is trying to hold her family together despite the painful loss that they all know is inevitable. As she and her sisters navigate first loves and college dreams, they are completely unaware that an illness far more insidious than cancer poisons their home. Their world is about to shatter under the weight of an incomprehensible betrayal… Отзыв: Если вы желаете впасть в безграничную депрессию, из которой вам будет очень не просто выбраться, эта книга для вас. Если не желаете, бегите от нее быстрее, она поразительно неприятная и скучная. 70-е годы XX века – время, когда было не так уж просто поддерживать отношения на расстоянии. Да и развлечений\отвлечений было явно поменьше, чем сейчас. И поэтому главная героиня погружается в пучину депрессии безостановочно (и хоть автор пытается показать, что музыка спасает ее, из-за странного способа повествования, читатель не может в это поверить). Ей не на что отвлечься, у нее плохо все... но, к сожалению, не могу перечислить, т.к. очень спойлерно. Ей толком даже поговорить не с кем. Старшая сестра сама еле справляется со сложившейся ситуацией, хотя девочки близки. Младшая вообще сходит с ума, зациклившись на религии и отсутствии матери. В книге плохо все, нет ничего светлого и доброго. А то, что могло хоть каким-то лучиком света стать для читателя – отношения Ванессы с Калебом – описано на двух страницах книги. Вообще книга «скомканная», иначе ее не описать. Она короткая (и на том спасибо, если честно), написана ужасно странно: только что автор говорил об одном, про это еще не закончил, а в следующей строчке речь уже совершенно о другом, причем, ничего себе, по сюжету прошло шесть недель. Как описаны отношения героини с Калебом (небольшие спойлеры!): познакомились, стали жить вместе, поговорили, влюбились, поговорили, переспали, разъехались. Вот серьезно, все на 2-х страницах. Все шесть недель. Это что вообще такое было? И так происходит буквально все. Причем автор описывает какие-то совершенно неинтересные и скучные моменты очень подробно, которые вообще можно было бы опустить, а реально важные: болезнь, отношения, как Ванесса со всем справляется – в двух строчках. Я прекрасно понимаю, откуда у книги такой низкий рейтинг на Goodreads. Как это читать, вообще не ясно. Единственный плюс – есть в книге один момент, который можно назвать: «вот это поворот». Больше плюсов я в книге не нашла. Невыносимо скучно, странно и жутко депрессивно. Не могу понять, как автор одобряет поступки своих героев, делает их примером для подражания. Я люблю грустные книги, но в них должна быть хоть пара лучиков света, чтобы это было реально прочитать. Итоговая оценка: 3\10

31 Days of #quietYA with Julia Lynn Rubin

LIKE MANDARIN by Kirsten Hubbard. Set in the badlands of Washokey, Wyoming, the story follows 14-year-old Grace Carpenter, who struggles to find herself against the backdrop of her tiny town and cloying, beauty pageant-obsessed mother. Grace would do anything to be like 17-year-old Mandarin, the cool, seemingly effortless girl at school who plays by her own rules. But as the girls grow closer, Grace realizes there are darker elements to Mandarin's story. Her interests in Mandarin border on romantic, and there's so much amazing sapphic subtext that I'm still not entirely sure was completely intentional. The writing is also drop-dead gorgeous and hooked me from the first line.

CATALYST by Laurie Halse Anderson. While still known and beloved by her fans, this is probably one of Laurie's "quieter" releases, and arguably her best work following SPEAK (though her sophomore novel PROM remains a classic in its own right. I mean, hello, the main character worked as a knock-off Chuck-E-Cheese character!). I've read this one so many times and each time, I go through that same melancholic, disturbing, fascinating journey that only Laurie Halse Anderson can take me on. So evocative and voice-driven and painfully real. It breaks my heart every time in the best possible way, and is a great example of how to include subtle twists without ever cluing the reader in that there will be one coming.

CLEAN by Amy Reed. Hilarious, poignant, and a masterclass in writing YA in multiple-POVs, this book helped get me me into YA as a whole and introduced me to a world of "grittier" fiction for teens that never felt condescending or Lifetime movie-esque.

JUMPED by Rita-Garcia Williams. Rita is a brilliant and hilarious author, and not only tackles multiple-POV oh so well, but a fast-paced, urgent, thrilling plot that all takes place over the course of one fateful school day that culminates in a teen girl getting jumped by her classmates.

THE RULES OF SURVIVAL by Nancy Werlin. It makes me sad that Nancy isn't on more people's radars! This book deals with parental abuse and a teen boy's struggle to protect himself and his siblings, and is never overindulgent or soapy. The writing style is clean and efficient, making for a quick read that will stay with you long after you've finished.

LITTLE CHICAGO by Adam Rapp. This is, quite possibly, one of the most disturbing books I've ever read, but it also might be one of the best. Glittering with magical realism and a surreal style to help us cope with the horrors within, I'd include a very strong *Trigger Warning* for sexual assault, sexual abuse, and neglect. It sort of blurs the line between YA and MG, and is haunting and visceral.

TELL ME SOMETHING REAL by Calla Devlin. Featuring gorgeous, literary prose and a family-rich, family-centered story set in the '70s that left me breathless, this award-winning novel is an absolutely underrated gem. I won't say too much as it's best to go in cold.

THE SACRED LIES OF MINNOW BLY - This YA thriller about a girl who's escaped from the clutches of a cult and lacks both hands to show for it (literally, she had them removed in the most grisly, disturbing way) was one of my favorite releases of 2015. It was so good, in fact, I bought a copy for my friend.

WHAT GIRLS ARE MADE OF by Elana K. Arnold. Even though this was a National Book Award Finalist, it pains me how few people seem to know about it, and how few bookstores even seem to stock it! I read this in just a couple of days and wow, just wow. Definitely a feminist read.

REALITY BOY by A.S. King. If you share my dark, cynical sense of humor and obsession with reality TV and psychology, you'll no doubt enjoy this one about a teen boy haunted by his childhood reality TV infamy. A.S. King is an absolutely phenomenal character writer and has one of the strongest voices I've read.

WHITE LINES by Jennifer Banash. Set in 1980s New York City, this gripping tale follows seventeen-year-old club kid Caitlin, living alone in Manhattan and working in nightlife to escape and forget the severe physical and mental abuse and abandonment from both her mother and father. Caitlin is a fantastic character and the setting is so rich and atmospheric.

BONE GAP by Laura Ruby. This book needs to be read widely. It quite honestly defies genre and is nothing short of fantastic. Julia Lynn Rubin lives the writer's life in Brooklyn, where she received an MFA in Writing for Children & Young Adults at The New School. She currently serves as a writing mentor for Girls Write Now, New York City's premiere writing program for high school girls. Her debut YA LGBT+, BURRO HILLS, pitched as THE OUTSIDERS meets PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER, was released March 2018 from Diversion Books.

January 2017 Book Roundup

Because I’m excessively nerdy and decided that I wasn’t working on enough shit this year, I’m going to try to keep track of how many books I read/attempt to read each month this year.  This is my covert way of trying to push books that you would maybe? not? try? on you because honestly, I feel like I see so many of the same books over and over on Tumblr.  And many of them are good!  But many more are overlooked.  Without further ado:

The Hating Game by Sally Thorne.  5/5.  This is a great romcom to read while you think the world is ending.  It’s pure fluff, except for the smutty parts.  It’s the tale of Lucy and Joshua, two incredibly passive aggressive coworkers at a publishing company who are competing for a job while also wanting to hatefuck each other.  Joshua’s just mean enough without being a total dick?  Lucy can dish it?  A must read.

The Falconer by Elizabeth May.  3/5.  To be honest, I feel like I gave this three stars on Goodreads purely because I feel like other people will like this.  It’s your classic Victorian Era girl slays evil fairies book, which I normally would love, but--the writing just wasn’t for me.  It did have a nice romance percolating between the heroine and the evil faerie who wasn’t that evil.  But to be super honest, I expected more sex.  Why did I?  I don’t know.

Rejected Princesses by Jason Porath.  4.5/5.  I believe that this began as a Tumblr?  Essentially, Porath takes women of history (and mythology) that he thinks Disney would never make a movie out of, gives them a little write-up, and accompanies these write-ups with delightful Disneyfied drawings of them.  I honestly loved this, and only took half a star off because of the whole “I’m not sure about all of the women in this book being portrayed accurately because I don’t know about many of them” thing.  (He did include the “Caterina Sforza flashed her vag at everyone” story which, while popular, is bullshit.)  The fact that Porath used so many women I genuinely had never heard of really impressed me--I love these “bad women” collections, but most of the time I know the stories already.  Well done.

Tell Me Something Real by Calla Devlin.  3/5.  This book taps into the story of three sisters who live with their parents in a border town.  Why do they live in a border town?  Because their terminally ill mother regularly travels to Mexico for illegal cancer treatments.  This story was actually pretty interesting throughout and drew me in--but I predicted the twist VERY early on, and it seemed like much of the story depended on that.  Still worth the read if you’re interested in a very different YA with an out-there angle.

Ever The Hunted by Erin Summerhill.  4/5.  Following the death of her bounty hunter father, Britta is forced to help the king’s men track down his killer--who is suspected to be her childhood friend Cohen (who she’s obviously secretly in love with).  This book was not full of surprises.  It is a pretty standard YA fantasy.  But the romance is good--very much built on the two characters knowing each other, which is different for YA--and there’s a cool hook at the end.  It’s not going to SHOCK you, but it is enjoyable.

Poison’s Kiss by Breeana Shields.  2/5.  Marinda is used for her unique ability--she kills with a kiss.  Her employer/”owner” turns her towards a boy that she grows attached to, and--gasp, she doesn’t want to kill him.  This idea was kind of interesting, but like... No.  The writing is nothing special, the love is instant, and while the mythology is interesting, as it turns out the writer is not Indian.  Which is okay, except the mythology is and the world is based on India and according to several other reviewers she used terminology incorrectly and just didn’t seem to do her research.  Nah.

Little Deaths by Emma Flint.  5/5.  In 1960s New York, working class single mother Ruth Malone wakes up to find her two young children missing.  When they’re discovered dead a couple of days later, attention quickly turns to Ruth’s sexual exploits, drinking, and seemingly cold behavior.  This was SO GOOD.  Based on a real case (don’t google it), this story focuses not only on the perspective of Ruth, but on that of a male reporter who becomes obsessed with her as he follows her case.  Which annoyed me at first--until I realized where Flint was going with this.  Definitely a good book to read when you’re in the mood to hate men.

Windwitch by Susan Dennard.  4/5.  A followup to the first book, “Truthwitch” so I won’t say much.  Suffice to say that this is a YA high fantasy that focuses on Yseult and Safi, two girls gifted with witchery and their various exploits with people who alternately want to kill and help them.  This series has a great focus on female friendship, and the characters are diverse.  I also appreciate Yseult’s arc in particular, as it grew in this book and went in promising places.  (I want her to get with this guy who was a bad guy at first, and like... I’m not proud.)  The second book actually really improved upon the first and went in unexpected places, so--give this series a try.

Everything You Want Me To Be by Mindy Mejia.  4/5.  This story begins with the discovery of the corpse of teenage Hattie.  A non-linear storyline and the perspectives of Hattie, the local sheriff, and a schoolteacher new to town tell the story of what happened to her.  This book surprised me--I didn’t expect for the protagonist to be as dark as she was, seeing as she was the “dead white girl” of the story.  While certain aspects surprised me more than others, this is less about who killed Hattie and more about daily lies and the capacity of men to romanticize themselves.

When the Moon Was Ours by Anna-Marie McLemore.  5/5.  I’ve already written about this book on my blog.  It’s about the romance between childhood friends Sam and Miel, it’s full of magical realism, and it touches on real issues--cultural divides, being transgender, sexuality, etc.  It’s beautiful, every word is poetic, I love it, read this.

Frostblood by Elly Blake.  1/5.  I... really do not like this book.  It had all the issues of Poison’s Kiss, except the concept wasn’t that interesting either.  Very boring, very typical YA Fantasy.  I don’t even know how to explain what it’s about because it’s that... Paint by numbers?  Just don’t.
