I got really into this, staying up until gone 1am last night to finish the last 40% or so. It was both the storyline--bringing down Darius--as well as the possible romance starting between Raven and Christian. That last bit, though, with the forgetting a certain thing had happened...I get it but at the same time, WHY???
I cannot wait to read book 2!

Description
I found this book intriguing but confusing, I fell in love with the characters and descriptions but found the fact it jumps from time to time and skips between different points of views confusing because I found myself forgetting who's perspective i was reading.
However, I found it magical and a fantastic read. I fell in love with the characters and the plot.

Goddess in the Stacks (553 KP) rated The Book of M in Books

What defines a person? Your experiences? Your personality? The emotional bonds you forge? What happens when you forget? Are you still you if you don't remember who that is? The Book of M tackles these questions and takes an intimate look at what happens when some people forget but others remember.
We enter on Max and Ory in an abandoned hotel, running out of food and supplies. Max has lost her shadow, which means she will soon start forgetting. Everything. (There are rumors that Shadowless have died because they forgot to breathe or eat.) We learn it's been a few years since the phenomenon started happening, and flashbacks tell us the story of those early months. Like any good dystopia, it is a world-altering process. Governments are gone because no one remembered to run them. Food and other supplies are dwindling because farmers, shippers, manufacturers forgot what they were doing and how to do it.
But with the forgetting comes - magic, of a sort. Ory comes across a deer in the forest that instead of antlers, has wings sprouting from its forehead. Because someone forgot that deer shouldn't have wings - and so it happened. Forgetting that something can be destroyed can make it indestructible. Forgetting that you left a place can take you back to that place. Forgetting a place exists can make that place no longer exist. It's not a very controllable kind of magic. And it's dangerous - you can never be quite sure what you'll forget, and you can affect other people with it.
And the forgetting starts with losing your shadow. Ory gives Max a tape recorder, so she can record things she might forget. He posts signs around their hideout to remind her of things, like "Let no one in. Ory has a key." and "Don't touch the guns or the knives." But Max knows she is a danger to Ory, and so while she can still remember enough to function, she runs away.
The book mostly concerns Ory and Max's journeys across the country; Max trying to find something she's forgotten, and Ory trying to find Max. The adventure is gripping, heartbreaking, and at times confusing. (Mostly on Max's end, as magic warps things around her.) There are a few side characters who also have viewpoint chapters. Naz Ahmadi is an Iranian girl training for the Olympics in the US - in archery, which comes in quite handy. We also have The One Who Gathers, a mysterious man in New Orleans who has gathered a flock of shadowless.
If you ever played the roleplaying game Mage: the Ascension, and remember the concept of Paradox, this book reminds me of that a lot. (Is it a surprise that I'm a tabletop RPG geek? It shouldn't be. I own almost all of the old World of Darkness books, and currently play in a D&D game, and hopefully soon a second D&D game!) Anyway. Paradox. Where doing magic too far outside the bounds of acceptable reality punishes you, so you have to weigh the potential consequences against the magic you want to do.
I really enjoyed this debut novel; it is a very original take on a dystopia, and raised a lot of questions about personality, memories, and what makes a person the person you remember.

Another social platform that I wish I used more
I go through times of really using IG and times of forgetting that I even have it installed on my phone. I love the filters I love the brevity. I hate that my phone has to be involved to post. I wish there was a computer based version that was better.
That said, the app is quality. When I use it, I really like the app. Just don't use it that much.

Intense thriller!
Good quality film.
This main character in this movie couldn't have been any better, brilliant actress playing the role of an innocent women being tormented by her obsessive ex.
A good few jumpy parts, the amount of times I said something so loud forgetting I was in the cinema was just embarrassing, so many scenes I didn't expect to happen the way they did, some of my friends weren't overly impressed but I thought every character really built the feel for this film.
Highly recommended.
