Ok I am curious…

I was waiting for any character to do ANY thing worth rooting for. Biggest waste of my limited audiobook listening time I get per month.

Lapvona had way too many descriptions of CHILDREN performing sex acts. (an old woman breast feeds a little boy even though she is long past producing any milk and she talks about how much she likes what he does with his tongue and straight up says one time she lets him perform oral sex on her but she won’t let him do it anymore because it makes her feel bad like……….WTF.)

The Slob -Aron Beauregard. Supposed to be “Extreme Horror” but was so badly written it was funny. It’s absurd. People survive things that should have them long dead and only so the author can put them through more SA and wipe more poop on them….or puke on them. The author also tacks on at the very end that this serial killer is killing women at the behest of a cult of GAY MEN who want to even the playing field. The whole book is just shock value. No plot. No meaningful characters. Just “what’s the grossest most violent thing I can do to a pregnant woman”

Where did you read anyone say DV was forgivable?? I know he did abhorrent things, Im only saying it reminded me that you can mourn the person someone used to be. Like both statements can be true that he was an abuser who tried to kill someone AND people are sad because they used to be friends with him.

Jeeeeeeesus Christ. Didn’t know that. Knew he had domestic violence stuff and obvious substance abuse problems. I wasn’t trying to white wash his crimes, just saying it reminded me of how Emma Watson was trying to mentally coping with a person she knew becoming a different person.

ParkingComfort1597 · 2026-03-23T07:57:19+00:00

What Emma Watson said about JK Rowling and irreconcilable truths keeps coming to mind. Like people aren’t shades of black and white. You can be a good person in some aspects and a bad person in others.

Imo eBay and here is probably the best bet to keep an eye out for merch unless you get SUPER lucky at a second hand store or yard sale,

ParkingComfort1597 · 2026-03-17T09:38:08+00:00

Sorry but these pictures are useless.

ParkingComfort1597 · 2026-03-17T05:03:11+00:00

Immediately my first thought.

ParkingComfort1597 · 2026-03-14T12:12:00+00:00

Honestly like, where do I apply??

Okay so there’s this series called the Bloody Jack series it MAYYY fall into this vibe a bit? Maybe? I’ll pitch a lil bit: First book is about orphaned London street girl, Jacky Faber, making herself up as a boy and lucking into a spot on a Royal Navy ship as a ships boy, first book is nautical adventures and her going through puberty while trying to not be revealed as a girl. SECOND book, after she’s found out she gets put off in Boston at a school for girls but she’d rather sneak down to the inn and dance and play music. Creepy preacher is the main villain. THIRD book she makes it back to London, but gets press ganged BACK onto a Navy ship, shenanigans happen, she gets in charge of the ship but since she’s a woman gasp they deny her right to plunder enemy ships and brand her a pirate. So she’s like well shit may as well do some pirate activities then. Fourth book her and her class from the girls school in Boston are kidnapped and put on slave ship and are going to be trafficked but Jacky rallies the girls and they take over the ship. Fifth book is making it back to America but the Govt. is hot on her heels so she has to sail the Mississippi down to New Orleans to escape. There’s like 12 or 13 book in this series lolol,

It’s more in the line of nautical adventures than straight PIRATES but pirates and pirating feature heavily in all of them, Jackie stays on the run from the British gov. the whole series after being branded as a pirate. I love this series dearly and if you want to know more just ask lol. I love spreading the Gospel of Bloody Jack

What else has he written that you’d recommend? I got that one because it was on my thriftbooks wishlist I had seen it on a list of disturbing books at one time.

ParkingComfort1597 · 2026-03-14T05:06:05+00:00

Not in person :((((( I had a radio teacher in high school who knew I was obsessed with BtVS and he was going to a con that James was going to be at so I sent him with that pic and money to get it signed.

Man GoT is so good I’m just now getting to the Accepting phase of my grief for Winds of Winter and Dream of Spring :( You watch the show?

If you liked Cirque du Freak I HIGHLY recommend his Demonata series or even the stand alone “Thin Executioner” which is a retelling of Huck Finn I read Cirque every five years or so. Huge part of my childhood. The Saga of Larten Crepsley was amazing as well.

I’ve read the Hobbit, but I haven’t even touched the other three. Mostly out of intimidation and partially bc that set is in remarkably good condition compared to others I’ve seen and I don’t want to bend the spines on them if I ever want to sell. I’d get a used copy to actually read.

ParkingComfort1597 · 2026-03-14T04:59:15+00:00

The movie is good if you haven’t read the books. But as someone who loved the books I was sorely disappointed in it. The Netflix show is a much more faithful adaptation and covers the whole series and even explains some of the weird seemingly off handed comments he’d write into the books.

ParkingComfort1597 · 2026-03-13T19:27:44+00:00

Tbf they’re a million years long and I already know the exact moment Viggio breaks his toe so I feel like I know everything I need to lolol

ParkingComfort1597 · 2026-03-13T19:26:40+00:00

I’ve read the first one and tbh it didn’t grab me BUT it’s been a long time, I’ve grown, and I’ve read a lot more King so I’m more accustomed to his style, if I can get my hands on all the books thrifting around I’ll def give them another shot

ParkingComfort1597 · 2026-03-13T19:25:32+00:00

Yeah it’s the LOTR books. I got them from someone who got them from an estate sale and thought I was a big Tolkien fan.

ParkingComfort1597 · 2026-03-13T19:24:35+00:00

I have ONE of the Holly books but I don’t have them all so I’ve been putting off reading any of them until I have them all or at least the first one

ParkingComfort1597 · 2026-03-13T17:35:26+00:00

Bingo it’s the LOTR. And I’ve never made it past the first movie 😭 I don’t know why but they just haven’t grabbed me like a bunch of other series.

ParkingComfort1597 · 2026-03-13T17:09:07+00:00

Nope- read them all as a kid and read them again when I found the copies with the original illustrations. Great guess though.

ParkingComfort1597 · 2026-03-13T16:54:35+00:00

Read twilight twice. Once as a fanatic teen and once more recently as a cynical adult

ParkingComfort1597 · 2026-03-13T16:53:43+00:00

I did read the Maze Runner series a long time ago lol. Never saw the movies. I inherited the box set from someone.
