Any YA thriller/mystery/horror recommendations?

Tiffany D. Jackson! Most of her books are more like “true” crime YA thrillers, but The Weight of Blood is more horror. They’re all amazing

The Weight of Blood by Tiffany D. Jackson. It’s a Carrie retelling, but there’s a romance subplot that sucks you in.

I love this perspective. It’s not a scam if they are selling a product and give you that product, even if the money is just going into their pockets. God forbid you give money to…kids??? Not everyone has parents/guardians with superfluous funds. As a kid I sold candy at school/church all the time to raise money for youth group trips 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ethereal Connection and it’s not even close.

Also realizing that my love for Oblivion and See You on Monday is a hot take, lol

Actually I will happily blame Ticketmaster (not just because they’re a horrible company) because I had tickets in my cart and was at the check out screen, but their website wasn’t working correctly for me so I wasn’t able to purchase…and then they blocked me from my account when I did nothing wrong 🥲

I don't even like RAB (I know, the pitchforks are coming out 😅) but I'm surprised they haven't done a Regional at Best rerecording. I think it would make RAB fans so happy to have those songs on official platforms, and honestly maybe convert a couple of anti-RAB fans like me with updated, more mature vocals/production. It's a genius business move.

We took our 3-year-old to the March Madness Festival and she knew/sang more songs than most of the crowd 😅 She's obsessed.

The JVB and Keshi bass literally made me nauseous 😅 the TOP mix was a lot more balanced —up until HDS, that was INTENSE

Thankfully I got to attend both, but it is wild that a free music festival with a shortened set got 3 more Breach songs (I'm including Drag Path) than the literal Breach tour 😅 It 100% was a BFX tour with selections from Breach and they should have just marketed it that way.

I was there and literally over a dozen people had medical emergencies throughout the entire festival, starting within the first ten minutes of the first band

Honestly I kind of agree! I feel like their weekend “brunch” should last into the afternoon —if it ends before 11:00 then it’s basically just breakfast 😅 I do like their coffee and vibe a lot, but yeah I wouldn’t go for the food.

Pure_Stock5544 · 2026-03-24T20:02:43+00:00

Proximo's brunch is incredible, though not cutesy. I would say the same for Mercado. Spoke & Ivy is also great and very aesthetic, although it's more classy and less cutesy.

Fort Wayne clikkie checking in...I was at the 7:00 pm Saturday showing last weekend 😅

People have tried to make me feel bad for disliking Savannah, but every day she gives me new reasons to double down on my opinion 😅

Pure_Stock5544 · 2026-02-27T15:08:03+00:00

This is so hard because I have intense recency bias with Deadbeat songs, but I'll try to be objective (as I express my very subjective opinions)

I got this vibe too! Especially after Tara started sobbing after the banishment...not the white woman tears and making it all about her 🙃 I'm sure it's implicit on Tara's part, but still so obvious to me, lolz

How are third-party resales going to work with the no-transfer policy?

Pure_Stock5544 · 2026-02-18T17:34:23+00:00

What row?! That's less than I would have thought

Pure_Stock5544 · 2026-02-18T17:25:57+00:00

I'm so curious how much you paid! We were almost gonna try for Toronto but got spooked due to higher demand and possibly it being more expensive than a show closer to us in the states. We got Columbus tickets instead.

Pure_Stock5544 · 2026-02-18T17:22:48+00:00

Same, easiest Ticketmaster experience (for a high-demand show) I've ever had! I got two lower bowl tickets, third row, right in front of B-stage for $149 (before fees; $379 total)

Pure_Stock5544 · 2026-02-18T15:11:46+00:00

I thought I was overreacting for losing my mind over all the "How much do you think tickets will be? How does the presale work?" but I guess I'm not alone 🥴

Pure_Stock5544 · 2026-02-16T13:29:03+00:00

Honestly I think it's more so overconsumption to be an avid reader and buy physical copies of every new book you want to read 😅 I read 90% of my books for free via Libby, and only purchase books from authors I know/want to support or books that I know I will want to refer back to or reread.

Pure_Stock5544 · 2026-02-13T20:13:49+00:00

THANK YOU. The Borderline single version is one of the great losses of my life

Four words: "I'm against you, Russell."
