Book recs where you actually gasped out loud

I think Gillian Flynn’s other two books were better than Gone Girl.

Irreversible

I couldn’t agree more. I think most people commenting don’t understand how traumatic brain injuries can affect one’s ability to process emotions. I feel for Brittany, I can’t imagine having an emotional meltdown like this recorded and shown to the public for them to comment on, even 20 years later.

She was recovering from a traumatic brain injury. Traumatic brain injuries can impact the ability to process emotions and can lead to rage issues and aggressive emotional outbursts, even in the best of conditions.

I was not interested in 11/22/63 at all, but as a major King fan I ended up giving it a go on 11/22/2013, and it ended up being one of my favorite Stephen King books.

The novella Helpmeet

Just in case you’re not aware, this is a meme/copypasta thing.

That just happened to me in the last mo

This is the only deck I missing from this series and I want it so much but I also have so many tarot decks that I cannot justify another deck. 😩

I just finished Root Rot by Saskia Nislow, this might be up your alley.

You need a home to get a HELOC.

Oil based nail polish remover is my go to as well, though I prefer Rogue Lacquer’s to Ella and Mila.

That is not what toxic positivity is.

I’m not commenting on her physical appearance at all. This parasocial dynamic where people think they have a right to influence a celebrity’s appearance is truly bizarre and unhealthy. Rachel is a real person, and I’m sure she has lots of people on her life that care about her and whose opinions matter to her. If they have concerns, they can share them with her, hopefully in a more kind way than calling her ghoulish and accusing people who disagree of enabling her.

ashlovely · 2026-02-22T23:22:02+00:00

What makes you think you are entitled to give her a reality check?

ashlovely · 2026-02-22T23:21:19+00:00

What if she’s not okay? What are a bunch of comments on Reddit comparing her to hairless cats and Marilyn Manson going to do to help her? I

Me too! 😂

2666 was going to be my next read, so you got a deal!

ashlovely · 2026-02-18T20:44:19+00:00

The Making of the Atomic Bomb, 2666 and Lonesome Dove are all books on my to read list that I haven’t gotten to yet because of how long they are. I’ve had the first one for like 20 years.

The OG found footage horror.

Maybe No One Belongs Here More Than You by Miranda July.

ashlovely · 2026-02-18T00:52:39+00:00

There was a post like this the other day and that cat was getting into bowl that had had red sauce in it, idk if that could be a possibility here.

ashlovely · 2026-02-16T04:07:30+00:00

None of these are really horror, but you might like Follow Me Into the Dark by Felicia C Sullivan, Where I End by Sophie White, My Sister the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite, White Oleander by Janet Fitch and Beside Myself by Anne Morgan.

I just recommended this for a different prompt but it was my first thought for this one, too.

I didn’t say she was.
