The Devourers by Indra Das ★☆☆☆☆

This was the most disgusting book I've ever read and I recently finished Dreamcatcher, King's ode to farts, diarrhea, and shit weasels. 

This was worse. 

Dreamcatcher by Stephen King ★★★☆☆

King wrote this scifi novel longhand with a fountain pen, sometimes by candlelight, while recovering from his car accident. Well, if you call a car hitting you while you are walking a car accident. 

Obsidian Butterfly (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter #9) by Laurell K. Hamilton ★★★★★

Salma Hayek in From Dusk Till Dawn with the cation Itzpapalotl
“She'd been punishing people for the same crimes for five hundred years. It was impressive in a psychotic sort of way... I'd told people that I'd chase them into hell to have my vengeance, but I probably didn't mean it. Itzpapalotl would mean every word. 

Blue Moon (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter #8) by Laurell K. Hamilton ★★★★☆

Justin Hartley looking sad with a full moon in the background and wolf howling the caption reads you still love me anita
Oh, I wish it was not true. Richard is my least favorite of “the sweeties,” a proper pain in the ass.

That said, this was a great story!

Burnt Offerings (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter #7) by Laurell K. Hamilton ★★★★☆

Amanda Seyfried looking bitchy and sexy in red lips and a black bra the caption reads Yvette
Yvette pulled Jason in against her legs, cradling his face against her thigh. “Watch, Jason, watch and see what I do to bad little boys”... His eyes collapsed inward, crumbling with rot... 

The Killing Dance (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter #6) by Laurell K. Hamilton ★★★★★

Ian Somerhalder looking beautifully menacing the caption read Jean Claude
“There was a look on Jean Claude’s face that was hard to describe. The devil must look like that after you’ve signed on the dotted line and given away your soul. Pleased, eager, and a little hungry. 

Bloody Bones (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter #5) by Laurell K. Hamilton ★★★★☆

Carmen Dell'Orefice the 90 year old model looking fabulous in black the caption reads Serephina in red
“Come to me, child, and I will always be with you. I will hold you forever.” 
- Serephina 

The Lunatic Cafe (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter #4) by Laurell K. Hamilton ★★★★★

Emily Blunt looking fierce with her chin in her hand in the Devil Wears Prada the caption reads Raina
She gave that rich, bedroom laugh again. “I am alpha, Ms. Blake. I can do a great many things that most shifters cannot.” 
- Raina 

Circus of the Damned (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter #3) by Laurell K. Hamilton ★★★★★

Dramatic and dark image of an indigenous man with his long dark hair blowing the caption reads Alejandro

“I could have made this pleasant, but now I think I want you to hurt. Look into my eyes, mortal, and despair.” 
Alejandro

In 2018 I jumped on the Bullet Journal trend and purchased the official BuJo Leuchtturm 1917.  What I actually made was more of a Crossfit Journal, with book notes, based on Pinterest.
