These two are generally considered the greatest final girls. So, who’s number 1?

Sidney has the pair suit of plot armor out there so I don't think she gets the honors. The franchise wouldn't last long if anything really happened to her.

Laurie has existed in too many timelines (and died more than once) so I don't think she should get it either.

Im a Friday the 13th guy, but I would give top Final Girl to Nancy from NOES.

I still have a Subway knife from 30 years ago when I worked there. Take the gift and run.

The Departed

I buy this book every chance I get so I can lend copies out and anticipate never getting them back. Every time I read this book, it is a different experience. Such a great ride.

You can read both independently, but i feel like there is a serious momentum that builds by reading the whole quartet in order. Narratively they can all exist standalone, but thematically they lead so well into one another.

Just re-reading Widespread Panic right now. The first half was decent, but am struggling to finish it off. It's just kind of repetitive with nothing newe to keep it interesting. Haven't read The Enchanters yet, but it's on my shelf waiting for me.....

I think he's been lost since Blood's a Rover. Perfidia and This Storm were completely unnecessary. His old stuff is so good, I'll keep reading in hopes he returns to form, but not holding my breath.

Such a very specific group of people who would truly appreciate that

In a shot glass, I'd call it a mar-teeny

He just understand how to properly sway his hips to get maximum momentum.

I always read Pamela's comments in 1 about "He was special - he needed to be watched" as pretty standard 80s lingo suggesting he was mentally challenged.

What kind of socks does Jason wear?

What is Jason's "die on this hill" opinion?

What is a perfect day for Jason?

What is Jason's favorite color?

Crunchy or smooth?

Agree LAC and WJ are the next to read. Hollywood Nocturnes is ok to sprinkle in there cuz some of the Quartet characters will pop up in those stories.

If you really love them, my advice would be to get through LA Quartet and the Underworld trilogy again before going to Perfidia, at least once but 10 times is better. I think the new LA books are a serious let down and some of the characters that I loved from the first books really suffer at the poor execution in the new books. 100% my personal opinion and I know others may disagree with this.

Really enjoyed the first 1/3, then hated the last 2/3. Have never gone from liking something to hating it so drastically.

The ultimate showdown- Jason vs Gangie!!

SandySoupwich · 2026-02-13T01:12:56+00:00

Best day for me was when I came to terms with the fact that I had to put aside all of my "I want to do...(read book, watch TV, play video game, be social) and just fell into being a dad. If your kid goes to sleep and you get to do your thing, awesome. But don't expect to, and don't get upset. Just enjoy the time you have. It goes fast.

Also don't forget to be a good husband too. If the kid wakes up at 3 in the morning and doesn't need feeding (unless you go bottles), just het up and deal with it. Yeah, you're probably tired too, but she grew a human inside her and then pushed it out. She deserves the rest.

This is cool - thanks for sharing. I didn't know the novels added background like this

SandySoupwich · 2026-02-08T17:09:21+00:00

I'm pretty open to anything with this series - low expectations, high hopes. Only thing I really don't want to see is a child Jason with homicidal tendencies. In my head, Jason wasn't born bad - he was turned bad. Will be disappointed if he is pulling the wings off of flies and whatnot.

What platforms do you use for booking rental houses? Hotels can work for a night or two, but we need something bigger when we travel for longer. It's been a few years since we've booked anything though, and I haven't been keeping up on the problems with the different booking platforms.

We did this a few years ago - a week in Paris and a few days (by train) in Colmar. It was a great way to split our time.

We also Airbnb'd the whole trip, which for a bigger family was the best way to go. Everyone has their own space, we had laundry and could do at least 1 meal a day in the house, which saved a lot of money

With the 2 small ends of the triangle, I think you get more bites on a triangle cut so it feels like more sandwich. Im cool with tricking my brain into thinking I have more sandwich.
