*This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.

In 1946, dinosaurs were found on an island and through breeding and genetic manipulation, it became a common thing to see dinosaurs in special parks. Suma Suzume has loved dinosaurs since she was little so, it’s her dream job when she gets hired at Enoshima Dinoland a struggling dino park.

Most of this is exactly what’s on the cover: taking care of the dinosaurs in the park with a lot of what they eat, egg hatching, conditions they could be afflicted with, etc. The big story beat seems to be what role Suzume’s deceased father played in these creatures’ existence and how he passed away. That wasn’t brought up until the end of the volume so I guess we’ll see in volume 2 how things shake out. For now, this is more for someone who REALLY likes dinosaurs. Everything else is standard; our plucky lead, the one gruff coworker, the one nice coworker, something else lurking in the background… Again, we’ll see. 3.5 out of 5.

Lenni Reviews: “Triceratops and Bottoms” by Lola Faust

I’ve seen these types of books around and since there was no way in the hell of any religion I was going to pay money to indulge my morbid curiosity, I grabbed this (and a few others) that were offered for free.

Now, most of my reviews are fairly short; a quick blurb and my equally quick thoughts as not to spoil the experience (in most cases). If someone is interested and doesn’t want an essay on the book/comic/manga etc., I like to think my reviews will be something short to see if they’d be interested.

But we’re gonna take some time for dinosaur fucking so buckle up. This is a thing.

Our protagonist, Erin – introduced by her firm, perky nipples – lives in the year 2122 where nanobots do most of the work keeping her in a luxurious lifestyle. But all that modern tech has made life boring, so Erin has time to indulge her most wild fantasies. Feeling as if she’s experienced everything, both legal and not so much, Erin takes advantage of a new invention: a time machine.

I’m only 9% in now, by the way. Make note: my copy had some formatting issues. If anyone else cares to admit they read this, feel free to let me know if your copy was the same. No judgment here. Formatting is a bitch and has no bearing on the rating I give.

When Erin stated she felt “like a nerdy girl at her convention” for asking a logical question at the unveiling of the time machine, I took a strong sip of my IPA and wondered if I should branch off into doing drunk reviews on YouTube of books like this. But then I remember I’m in my 40’s and nobody needs to see my old ass face so, text is what you get.

I’m also not sure my liver could take it.

Anyhoo, despite the obvious (and much nerdier) pitfalls of time travel, Erin and her pert nipples are excited to go to the Jurassic era.

Could I have summed this up in a few sentences like my other reviews? Yes. Would it be as amusing? Probably not.

Now, again, I am not going to go in hard on format, typos, or grammar but there are certainly places where either I or Grammarly would have made better choices. I’m also gonna have to give some latitude to the dinos instantly understanding. Telepathy or some sort of other connection is a trope in these I’ve heard. This is my first dino porn so, forgive me if I get that wrong.

I freely admit this is not my thing and I either cringed or gagged at the smut scenes. This entire book is Erin seducing various species of dinosaurs. I have run multiple 5ks and done 10k training and it was more work and less enjoyable reading this book. Every so often I wonder what readers will think about the few smutty stories I’ve written, especially since most of my work isn’t erotica but this has taught me there’s an audience for ANYTHING. I don’t think I’ll be reading other books in this genre since, not to be crass but my brain hurts and I’ve never been drier. Serena’s Plight made me less uncomfortable. 1 out of 5.

October Firefly Loot Crate: Wash

  • Many Faces of Wash tshirt
  • Trading cards
  • Signal magazine
  • Wash pin
  • Play/Quarantine door hanger
  • Wash figure
  • Beaumonde Sticker
  • Q-Fig Max Inevitable Betrayal Playset

After Zoe, I think Wash was the crate I was looking forward to the most. I was convinced I’d get a ship in this one but nah. Ah well. That shirt is fucking priceless. I don’t quite understand the door thingie but I can give it to the kid.

As my cleaning progresses, I’ll be getting shelves to display all these figures. I’m on the fence about even removing them from the box! Of course, I’ll post pics when I have them all displayed nicely.

As for the box itself, this one is still up to par with the others. They’re a lot of fun and I love all the random stuff I’m getting. No clue what I’m gonna do with those dinos though…
