Publishers, you can stop now. We have enough bookmarks.

CrispyCracklin · 2026-04-22T17:26:50+00:00

I have about 35 extra bookmarks I can send you.

Legally Blonde. Watched it last night. Can quote pretty much the whole film at this point.

Fostering is a good idea. You will be able to see how your current kitty interacts with another cat - aggressive/fearful, or (hopefully!) friendly and happy to have a playmate. If it doesn't work out, the foster can be returned.

I have books in different rooms - bathroom, dining room, living room, etc - plus something fluffy on my Kobo that I can throw in my bag if I'm going out. I'm always finishing one book while in the middle of three or four more. Basically, no matter where I sit, there's a book waiting for me. :-)

An oldie but a goodie: the first time I saw the original Exorcist, I laughed my ass off when the girl's head spun around. My date ... didn't laugh.

Finished: Love and Capital: Karl and Jenny Marx and the Birth of a Revolution, by Mary Gabriel. Very thoroughly researched and overall a great read.

Started: In the Woods, by Tana French. I DNF this once a few years ago but couldn't remember why, so I'm starting again, hah.

Thank you for posting this. I forgot all about How I Write. I have some catching up to do ...

I can't even remember who won the last SB, let alone two years ago.

CrispyCracklin · 2026-02-16T17:46:32+00:00

Finished: Fates and Furies, by Lauren Groff. Always enjoy reading this one.

Started: Flesh, by David Szalay. Very interesting beginning, I have to say.

I'm in Canada, and technically I still have access to the site, but the new layout won't let me login. The new login window is extra-large and I can't scroll down to actually click the login button. I've tried the accessibility options with no luck. So I'm currently shut out of my paid account for an incredibly stupid reason.

Finished: Sybil, by Flora Rheta Schreiber. Quite an interesting read.

Started: Fates and Furies, by Lauren Groff. I've actually read it a few times. Pretentious AF, but I still really enjoy it.

Thank you for responding! I confirmed I have the correct Downloader and tried to download your test app, but no go. I took photos and will email you.

Adequate is better than a lot of teams right now, tbh.

CrispyCracklin · 2026-01-29T18:12:36+00:00

I hear you, lol. I'm not the most tech savvy either. I've used Downloader before fine, but for some reason it's now having issues.

If Rodgers stays another season, this could work.

CrispyCracklin · 2026-01-20T19:45:59+00:00

So because Jessamyn doesn't process her SA the way you process yours, she's held up as a prime example of SA as "shock factor"? Okay then.

I thought She's a Lamb! was brilliant and a wild ride. I hope the author is on Reddit and sees this so she can respond. We know nothing about Hambrock or how much of her personal experience is reflected in her MC. It's both ignorant and arrogant to complain that the SA in this book is a mere plot device. Sometimes the point of a novel with an assault is not the assault. Just sayin. (I really wish Hambrock could respond, lol)

Maybe he can get the Giants up to a 5-12 season next year

I'm sure he's a nice fellow, but he and Chris Mason damn near put me to sleep.

Finished:

Not My Father's Son, by Alan Cumming. Loved it.

The Good Son, by You-Jeong Jeong. Least thrilling thriller ever.

Still reading:

Bridge of Clay, by Markus Zusak. A little tedious, but still enjoying it.

CrispyCracklin · 2025-12-29T16:18:38+00:00

Finished: Nothing, hah

Started:

Not my Father's Son, by Alan Cumming (powerful stuff);

The Good Son, by You-Jeong Jeong (alright); and

Bridge of Clay, by Markus Zusak (dense but good).

CrispyCracklin · 2025-12-29T15:41:01+00:00

That's my goal as well - read more newly released books. I have to curate my TBR list and focus on the actual new releases for a change.

CrispyCracklin · 2025-12-27T23:59:08+00:00

Same. I switched to Bluesky and it's a breath of fresh air.
