The Wee Writing Lassie’s 300 Books in a Year – Book 8

The Mammoth Hunters by Jean M. Auel

Goodreads Blurb: Once again Jean M. Auel opens the door of a time long past to reveal an age of wonder and danger at the dawn of the modern human race. With all the consummate storytelling artistry and vivid authenticity she brought to The Clan of the Cave Bear and its sequel, The Valley of Horses , Jean M. Auel continues the breathtaking epic journey of the woman called Ayla.

Riding Whinney with Jondalar, the man she loves, and followed by the mare’s colt, Ayla ventures into the land of the Mamutoi–the Mammoth Hunters. She has finally found the Others she has been seeking. Though Ayla must learn their different customs and language, she is adopted because of her remarkable hunting ability, singular healing skills, and uncanny fire-making technique. Bringing back the single pup of a lone wolf she has killed, Ayla shows the way she tames animals. She finds women friends and painful memories of the Clan she left behind, and meets Ranec, the dark-skinned, magnetic master carver of ivory, whom she cannot refuse–inciting Jondalar to a fierce jealousy that he tries to control by avoiding her. Unfamiliar with the ways of the Others, Ayla misunderstands, and thinking Jondalar no longer loves her, she turns more to Ranec. Throughout the icy winter the tension mounts, but warming weather will bring the great mammoth hunt and the mating rituals of the Summer Meeting, when Ayla must choose to remain with Ranec and the Mamutoi, or to follow Jondalar on a long journey into an unknown future.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Goodreads Review: Or as it’s alternative title should be – ‘Oh my God why don’t you idiots just talk to each other, the book.’ You’ll cry – oh how you’ll cry – you’ll laugh, you’ll tear your hair out in frustration at the stupidity of fictional characters. All in all, a good time shall be had by all. Well everyone but the idiot left crying at the end, but who cares about him! Onwards Ayla to the next book!

The Wee Writing Lassie’s Gilmore Girls Love Interests of All Time: The Sixth Love of their Life

I think this guy’s a scream … what? Why are you looking at me like that?

Jason Stiles

I like Jason, as a character, I think he’s funny and he’s quirky in the kind of way that you don’t really see in the rest of the cast. Like sure, we could look at the residents of Stars Hollow and collectively call them more than a little insane, but that’s kind of in a big over the top way. It’s a little more like a live-action cartoon playing out on screen. Jason’s oddities – in particular his peculiar and precise sleeping habits feel more real. Like these are the kind of eccentricities that someone raised in this world, with his terrible parents, would have. It’s like he’s a character stepped out of a completely different kind of show.

Don’t get me wrong, that other show is clearly very well written, it’s just maybe one of its characters doesn’t belong in the Gilmore Girls world. And sleeping with Lorelei. I mean we’re all agree that relationship felt weird right, like collectively that just felt wrong,
