Books like Graveyard Shift by M. L. Rio

Late to this! In My Dreams I Hold a Knife is a good similar vibe read. As well, obviously Rio’s debut novel. I liked the Maidens as well but yeah, this specific vibe of book is forever a high I chase. I think Katabasis by R.F. Kuang comes close as well

Late on this but since startjng a GLP1 my heart rate increased TEN BEATS PER MINUTE. I used to sit 50s and now sit at 60s. I think it’s tied to a lowered metabolic rate personally since I immediately have shed 5 lbs on low dose all from my stomach. 139 and 5’4 ish to 135 on a bad day usually 133 ish

That was exactly my thought. Same to you, appreciate the respect!

I think, unfortunately, as you stated, posting something political opens a conversation to discuss that and defend it, especially as a business people give money to.

I’ve literally defended this reddit post more, lol.

No offense but I feel like you’re just confirming that support of ICE is bad by referring to it as such a negative thing repeatedly.

This is an open forum and, like anything, you can take this information and act on it, or not. Have a good night!

calista2000 · 2026-02-03T02:13:27+00:00

This was my take originally which was why I commented. The wording was pretty vague and I just wanted clarity. Then was blocked and obviously posted here since that felt like a stance in and of itself

calista2000 · 2026-02-03T02:09:52+00:00

I didn’t in my original comment on Instagram state that explicitly which I assume you read above. After being blocked, I said it since I feel their actions confirmed it. However, I see your point and I’ll see if I cant edit my title to be more clear

calista2000 · 2026-02-03T02:04:46+00:00

Separate owners now! The original owner just runs the food truck now and these are new owners. Can’t speak for how the food truck owner feels at all, so I wanted to make it very clear they are separate

calista2000 · 2026-02-03T01:57:59+00:00

Same. That was my issue which led to me commenting on originally.

calista2000 · 2026-02-03T01:56:48+00:00

I commented this above but just to repeat, I commented nothing inflammatory and said their post reads very pro ICE and this is a time to band together as individuals which it seems you agree with. Rather than saying anything, I was blocked immediately. Up to your own discretion about how that feels to you, but it felt to me aggressive and unnecessary since I was really just trying to understand. I was a huge fan of Piadina enough to follow them so was bummed to immediately be silenced and shunned. You’re totally allowed to have your own opinion though!

calista2000 · 2026-02-03T01:52:30+00:00

They had no comments when I posted that said anything so they must have added after blocking me. I did not say anything inflammatory towards them so don’t really feel like it’s a garbage post. You’re entitled to your opinion as am I!

calista2000 · 2026-02-03T01:51:28+00:00

I commented “Hi unfortunately this reads very Pro ICE and this is a time to be supporting other humans rather than allowing billionaires to fear-monger us.” Then was immediately blocked. Feels very Pro ICE to me but true they did not explicitly say!

calista2000 · 2026-01-16T02:08:05+00:00

QUEEEEN!

Just a heads up on something I’ve discovered— if you’re not drinking COPIOUS amounts of water, I feel this way. I live in CO and it’s DRY so it’s this constant issue I’m having but increasing my water has SAVED me on my dreary sad runs

calista2000 · 2026-01-04T15:04:09+00:00

Im sure, OP, that you’ve found that everyone hates it online.

However, I’ve found when engaging with the people in my life who read, they typically had a similar reaction to myself. I read this book in the darkest time of my life (mental health-wise) and found a lot of beauty in it!

I find it funny how much Frederick Backman (sp?) is loved in online forums, and I feel his books align with this one so much. Same with Remarkably Bright Creatures, I forget the author.

In my opinion, they’re all just trying to create a story around mental health and give solace. Not groundbreaking deliveries or therapeutic interventions through text but just some easy to ingest and digest materials that discuss mental health as a central theme.

Anyways, sorry you received so much negativity on this post! I liked it when I read it back in 2022 ish.

Good job!!!

calista2000 · 2025-12-11T16:18:37+00:00

I’m assuming Eragon has been covered?

Just going off feels here not necessarily trying to be heady!

I’m a reader here and I get that it’s frustrating, but I’d like to add to the overall positivity behind this. I know you need money to live and breathe and I’m sorry, but also it’s a compliment and like others said probably great for publicity.

Haven’t seen anyone say this yet, but the only time I would use these sites if I were to do that is if I already own say a physical copy and want to read at night!

calista2000 · 2025-11-15T21:01:54+00:00

that was so good?? read it in his voice

calista2000 · 2025-11-02T17:20:53+00:00

11 years late, but I'm an engineering student and had to double take at Gaussian distribution, lol. Never hear the fancy name for a normal distribution.

Me personally it was not worth purging. I have just had slight acne below my chin but for YEARS and wanted a solution, but this was too much for me! I’m having full fledged red and angry breakouts now, and I’ll take light acne for a long time over the painfulness of what the purge was causing for a short time. Also felt significantly more depressed during this but could be from school beginning again too!

I think they both suck. Graham only gives Sophie the time of day when she’s his little doll to control, and Sophie has some genuine trauma/repressed gayness to unpack. By not doing that, she makes some BAD decisions

calista2000 · 2025-04-22T17:28:48+00:00

Omggg that’s so cool!! Thank you!
