The Death Arc of disc world is one of my favorites. This is the first book in that arc. This is also where Pratchett comes into hisn voice with the hunir and wit that disc world nails in the other books. Its bit a bad jumping point if your new to this universe however if given the choice between this or soul music or hogfather, I'd start with one of those even though technically they are later chronologically*. You get to know Death better and IDK I think it works. If you aren't a fan of footnotes you might not like his writing style. I do think this one is light on them though.



*these books don't have to be read in order and half the fun is picking one up and going+.
+Except, for the Rincewind books which you should read in pairs 1&2 3&4 etc but even these you can read at will.

Highland Secret ( Highland Magic 1)
By Kerrigan Byrne
⭐️⭐️⭐️

He's cursed with eternal silence...

Roderick MacLauchlan is death for hire. Blessed by an ancient Deity with Berserker rage, he has the strength of ten men. Cursed by a malicious enemy, he's incapable of speech. A desperate clan war rages around him and a malevolent adversary lurks in the darkness, calling for blood.

Evelyn Woodhouse is an English refugee with a dangerous secret. She has the ability to see the outcome of tomorrow's battle and knows they're on the wrong side of it. When a doomed and silent mercenary rescues her from a fate worse than death, it seems he has his own plans for her. This is his last night alive and she's never been able to defy destiny.

This was a fast super sweet mating story of a Scottish mute Berserker and his English kitchen maid. Super fast and a fun little read! Lust filled.

Definitely not what I was suspecting of the second Avengers movie. I actually got bored at a few points. Not a fan of the ending but at leas they made a lot of sense of it in Ragnarok. Was not happy with a certain death. However James Spader as the voice of Ultron made it very worth while as I am a huge fan of The Blacklist.

One of 'those' books that's completely transformative - WOW.
I think this book is astoundingly beautiful. The whole concept of writing from the POV of death was inspirational, and worked exceptionally well. It's a heartbreaking read, and I don't often say that about books. Even if you have no interest in reading about the war whatsoever, you'll still get something out of this. Trust me!

Offensive and unnecessarily gruesome
As much as I love Indiana Jones, this film was very offensive. Not only did it portray Indians as savages eating monkey brains (although most of India is vegan or vegetarian), it also showed devotees of Kali, the goddess of war, as some kind of death cult - though she killed people like cultists. I really hated this film mostly because it was unnecessarily gory as well. Not a happy bunny.
