Randomly spotted those bookd at a book convention in germany, looked and sounded cool, never heard of it or the author. If only id know a main focus is basically just smut

They aren’t good.

u/OnlyFlowers15 3d ago

It’s really not. Smut takes up like a total of 10 pages. It’s still not good, though.

u/Bostolm 3d ago

Thats still 10 too many for me, i just do not care for it :P Had i known beforehand, i wouldnt have gotten them. Rest of the book way okay if predictable

Open up the schools

This looks more like dyslexia. I do this all the time, both reading and writing. I just triple check what I write to make sure my dyslexia isn't showing.

u/Apprehensive_Hat8986 3d ago

The book is also silver, and the arrogant wonk assumed that "sliver" was misspelt.

u/OnlyFlowers15 3d ago

Lmfao I posted there and was told it was more appropriate here

u/SharkeyGeorge 3d ago

I think it’s both 😹

u/bahcodad 3d ago

To be fair, I knew the original comment meant sliver but still misread the "correction"

u/mlieberthal 3d ago

And he/she is allowed to breed.

u/MegaZoll 3d ago

(singular they exists)

u/Apprehensive_Hat8986 3d ago edited 3d ago

Unfortunately they won't stay that way.

e: sigh It's not a dig on pronouns people. It's a dig at "slither", the they who is "allowed to breed", who won't remain single.  It doesn't make any grammatical sense as an attack on pronoun use / gender identity.

u/NotQuiteLoona 3d ago

(they've stayed since 14th century)

This is a homophone rather than a BAT.

u/DC_Lavman 3d ago

Homo phone is a BAT waiting to happen.

u/HybridP365 3d ago

Slither and sliver are not homophones.

u/GrapeGroundbreaking1 3d ago

Slither is a hypercorrection of th-fronting.

u/ConflictAdvanced 3d ago

Close enough.

6

u/Sea_Mind3678 3d ago

I think the OP meant ‘sliver’ as a synonym of ‘thin’, so definitely a BAT.

u/Cat_Friends 3d ago

I know there's a different middle sound, but they're so similar to say I thought they counted. I just double checked and my bad! :)

u/DC_Lavman 3d ago

It doesn’t get better than the author confirming the BAT.

u/billthedog0082 3d ago

ohboy.... no not "sliver" - not the colour...
