Let's do some reading!

As today is the second (and last) day of Amazon's Prime Sale, I wanted to create a quick post to those buying items, and ask that you please consider adding my friend Rachael's book to your cart. 

Sangre De Toro is currently on sale for $2.99 on Kindle (it won't stay this low for long). The paperback is $12.78.

A quick refresher of what my amazing friend has written: 

Synopsis - 

"When Pepelito dramatically escapes certain death in a bullfight, he enrages some and delights others. Taken pity on by Rita Silvera, a caring homicide detective, he soon begins to heal from the physical and psychological torture of the bullring.

But Pepelito's nightmare is not over. Javier Castella is the best matador in Spain - maybe the world. He would kill for a chance to finish his masterpiece - and he's not the only one.

Because, as Rita soon learns, a serial killer is on the loose. And her love of animals might make her the next target..."

Due to the context and content, the recommendation is it may not be "suitable for all", as the book "contains mature themes and descriptions of violence, including towards animals" since it's about saving a bull after a bullfight. 

All proceeds go to charity, including CAS International, which is an "international non-profit advocacy group which aims to end bullfighting". Rachael even has a quote from a campaigner at the company:

"Rachael accurately describes what it means for a bull to be a victim of bullfighting. The physical pain, the fear, the agony. The bull's perspective is missing from most written bullfighting stories, making this book different and refreshing. For anyone who considers bullfighting a barbaric activity, this book also offers comfort. In addition, it is an exciting story that will keep you up until the last moment!' - Estefania Pampin Zuidmeer, campaigner CAS International"

So please think about adding this to your summer reading list; you won't be disappointed. If you know of anyone who may be interested in reading it, either pass this post along to that person or buy them a copy of it as a surprise gift. The amount of research put into this story is well worth it because Rachael spent several years pouring herself into it. She's tried so hard to make it as perfect as she can be, even getting the translations down correctly because there is Spanish in it, and that's an unfamiliar language for her. She has done well and it shows. Also, knowing your money is going to a good cause to end this horrible "sport" will forever change the lives of people and animals (for the better on the latter). Again, please consider helping buy purchasing and reading this book. 

If we can't put a stop to such inhumane things, what will we ever stop?

Cheers;

At 6:12PM on July 17 I created an addendum. I didn't want to confuse anyone who has previously read this post and came back to check on it or purchase Rachael's book. Please check out the new update: https://tehpatchrambleson.blogspot.com/2024/07/lets-do-some-reading-part-2.html
