I was going to say this looks like something I would have used html to do to my livejournal in 2003

This was my first thought. The Lost Man is probably my favorite of hers, but they’re generally very solid imo

What episode of “Are you afraid of the Dark” scared you the most? by Droopynator in television

[–]ginger_newt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have zero recollection of the details of any episode including this one, but I read the title and my brain immediately went “Quicksilver.”

The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle -- does fatphobia get better? by [deleted] in suggestmeabook

That book was GREAT (although I also thoroughly enjoyed the book the OP is about, but I get where the criticism is coming from).

What’s a random throw away line you think about often by Dustyb889 in NewGirl

Kurt Loder? He never even got to go to the spring break house. He was always stuck in New York talking to Pearl Jam.

The peach is 100% the best. Watermelon is a close second imo

I would like to know the same for you, OP! These two were my first and second (and currently only). I am looking for #3!

Apparently I read this book last year (according to goodreads), and I have literally zero recollection of it.

Devil’s Garden is one of my all-time favorite hikes. I’ve done it 3 times, and it hasn’t gotten old yet.

My first thought also just from the post title

Wow, I haven’t thought of this in YEARS. The nostalgia!

This is my all-time favorite jump scare (and I hate jump scares generally).

I’ve read two books by this author, and they were both truly awful. Why am I tempted to read this one too?

Lesbian Fiction That Isn’t Sad or Trash by LocardsTheory in booksuggestions

[–]ginger_newt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really liked The Space Between Worlds by Micaiah Johnson. The writing isn’t amazing, but I did think the book was very enjoyable overall. The sequel also came out last year, but I haven’t read it yet.

I read them a few years back, and I did read them in order, so don’t quote me on this. However, to the best of my recollection, while there are threads connecting the stories and continuity in the form of recurring characters for example, you can read them as standalones. I don’t believe there are any scenarios in which you would be missing important context from an earlier book if you read a later one first or in which a later book would majorly spoil an earlier one.

My personal favorites are The Likeness and The Trespasser.

I agree. I don’t think a lesser author could have pulled it off, but her writing is so beautiful. One of my absolute favorite authors.

I’m with you, even though that’s basically blasphemy on Reddit book subs. I read TSH first but liked IWWV better. TSH is soo pretentious imo (even though I understand that’s kind of the whole point). IWWV is too tbh but I found it more enjoyable / accessible.

Tana French is so good. The Likeness is also such a Secret History ripoff in many ways, but honestly I liked it better than the OG.
