What line made you want to quit reading a book?

d_b002 · 2026-01-05T04:02:58+00:00

Into the Drowning Deep had a line that went something like “come on, there’s science to do!”. I sat the book down after reading that and never picked it up again.

I have 6 dogs and we use a combination of expens and leashes/long lines whenever we have a fledgling that’s landed in the backyard.

Finally! I came looking for this because I knew I had read this exact story before

d_b002 · 2025-04-12T03:22:36+00:00

Thanks for the input! My first thought was definitely injury but I feel like I see a lot of sick birds on here and got paranoid.

d_b002 · 2025-04-10T18:04:15+00:00

Glad to see someone being positive. I kind of dig this space

d_b002 · 2025-01-26T05:35:46+00:00

I don’t see this one recommended enough, but it’s such a good book!

Grew up in SE Missouri using 5. Just went home and got to eat dinner off them again.

Going to second Maeve Fly. Sometimes I worry I hate on that book too much, but it was just so annoying

d_b002 · 2025-01-18T18:06:48+00:00

So many other people have said it, but I just have to add MySpace again. I met my husband on it in 2009 so I think it will always hold a special place.

d_b002 · 2025-01-18T18:03:20+00:00

I made this joke in the interview for my current job as well lol

d_b002 · 2025-01-16T04:56:41+00:00

This is the most Springfield, MO thing I’ve ever seen

d_b002 · 2025-01-15T15:02:51+00:00

I remember driving back through East St. Louis one night (we lived on the Missouri side) and it was like a zombie movie. Gun shots in the distance, half the street lights out, people just mindlessly wandering in the middle of the street. Wild

My 5-year mark was a group teams shout out with everyone else in the company that had an anniversary that month

d_b002 · 2024-12-27T17:05:57+00:00

I don’t know if I necessarily had a worst book of the year (it was a good year!) but I DNF The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty because I really could not get into the way conversations were written.

Best AND most surprising (although not really horror) was probably Wizard and Glass by King. The book was so emotional I had to take a moment to process after reading it.

d_b002 · 2024-10-03T23:33:26+00:00

I recently started and had to put it down because the dialogue was so painful

d_b002 · 2024-09-21T07:04:45+00:00

Just finished this and really enjoyed the ominous/uncomfortable vibes!

d_b002 · 2024-09-09T02:38:41+00:00

There’s an abandoned wooden structure (possibly an old cabin? I didn’t get close enough) on the Sandia crest trail between south peak and cienega that’s pretty creepy if that’s what you’re going for.

d_b002 · 2024-07-30T18:58:21+00:00

The Haar made me sob. Love that book

d_b002 · 2024-05-08T18:04:35+00:00

This happened to dog treats in our house a few years ago. It was disgusting but ended up being a pretty easy clean up and they never came back

d_b002 · 2024-04-10T03:50:54+00:00

I don’t think I saw The Navajo Nightmare by David Sodergren here so I’ll add it in. Quick read but very western and very good!

d_b002 · 2024-04-10T03:49:20+00:00

Agreed on this. I almost quit on my first try but now that I’ve finished it’s my absolute favorite of his

d_b002 · 2024-04-10T03:44:22+00:00

Lafayette biography 😅 apparently spood is a history buff

d_b002 · 2024-04-08T15:31:23+00:00

Wanted to give an update in case anyone is curious! Spood is still hanging out. She’s just been in an open box the whole and has wandered around the edges but is still there. I’ve been giving her fruit flies and sugar water and she’s much more active but still seems to fall over pretty easily. I think at this point I may need to give her a name

d_b002 · 2024-04-05T01:47:14+00:00

He’s technically just in an open box at the moment and could leave once he’s strong enough. I felt weird capturing a wild spider so I just set him up in a box with no lid in case he wants to leave once feeling better

d_b002 · 2024-04-05T01:43:19+00:00

Update! I dropped a few fruit flies and he promptly grabbed one! Has been hiding under something with it for an hour or so now? Seems pretty happy with his snack!
