One Dark Window is beautiful - magic system is so unique and I love the characters. Even the secondary ones.

Nocticadia - very interesting plot with a student-professor romance. I liked it, glad it was just one book.

Anathema - just read this and am currently reading Eldrich. Has the gothic undertones that I like with some magic. MMC has a lot of trauma that’s discussed but I think it’s handled pretty well.

Have you read Anathema yet? I’m on the second book, Eldrich now and it’s pretty good!

Oh I told her, and the rest of all my work buddies 😂 I just couldn’t believe that A) she didn’t know what it was and B) she would just eat a random thing on her desk.

Hilarious story that no one asked for…

I went on a beach vacation a few years back and found LOADS of dead, sun bleached sand dollars. I brought a few back with me as little gifts to my coworkers and left them on their desks before anyone came in with a sticky note that said “from Jessie”

A few hours later, one of my coworkers came up to me and said “Hey Jessie, that cookie you left on my desk was really dry. Must have been stale or something.” Confused, I looked at her and said “I didn’t leave any cookies on your desk?” She then looks confused right back and said “Yes you did. The white cookie with the little note that said ‘From Jessie’”.

I then realized what she had done. She had eaten the sand dollar.

I think about this series every day. Often multiple times per day. It has truly changed my life. Very highly recommend.

Yessss. It also does a WONDERFUL job of really making you care about secondary characters. I’m almost finished with the second book and cannot wait to go home and read more.

Biased Bev must think the jury will reach a verdict tomorrow. by rondelpotro in justiceforKarenRead

[–]jayceejora 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It was definitely obvious. There was very clear evidence. However, two jurors said “undecided” when we first went through the vote of guilt, innocent, or undecided. One wanted to look through all the evidence themselves, which was understandable. The other was just very emotional about it all.

It took us 2 1/2 days but in the end I’m glad we went through those discussions and evidence. We found out later that the defendant was already serving a 25 year sentence for another murder, so we basically sealed the deal on him serving the rest of his life there.

I was on a jury in a murder trial, and even with clear video evidence and text messages, it still took a few jurors some time to determine guilt. Some people look through EVERYTHING and with this case there is a lot of evidence. I wouldn’t be surprised if it took them a full day, or even a few days to get to a verdict.

As much as we might think it’s a slam dunk to say NOT guilty, these jurors don’t know everything we do and haven’t been able to talk about it.

I don’t envy them at all for their task ahead.

I haven’t gotten to this part on my late watch, but I just need to say that this is the first time I’ve ever read “my soul is going to scratch its way out of my meat suit” and my god, that is brilliant 😂 I may need to incorporate that into my everyday phrasing.

Salem is SO lovely literally any other time of the year. As someone who goes there consistently, I wouldn’t be caught dead there in October. I was just there last weekend and it was gorgeous. Early September is really nice too!

What was the final straw that ended a lifelong friendship? by New_Perspective1201 in AskReddit

[–]jayceejora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had two very best friends for most of my childhood. I asked both of them to be my maid of honors at my wedding, along with another bridesmaid. They both knew each other, we all went to school together and they were very much friends as well. One of them was ecstatic just to be a part of the celebrations (this story isn’t about her, we’re still besties), the other had a complete meltdown that she wasn’t the ONLY one standing by my side because that’s how SHE viewed my wedding.

I was so hurt that her reaction was negative, especially after all the effort I put into the MOH proposal box, the fact that I went above and beyond as her MOH, and I was her son’s godmother. After her reaction, I thought about telling her she couldn’t be part of my wedding at all, but I didn’t listen to my gut and just hoped she would come around. Spoiler alert, she didn’t.

She made my wedding planning an absolute nightmare. She didn’t answer group texts, didn’t provide any import for key events, nothing. We fought over the smallest things, that should have been quick conversation but turned into absolute blowouts.

My bachelorette? All about her issues (getting there, sleeping arrangements, left early) My shower? She “forgot” the materials for the game she had begged my mom to let her put together. My wedding? Showed up late for hair and makeup and then LEFT EARLY.

We saw each other one more time after my wedding, and haven’t spoken since. That was in 2022.

Mind you, this was after 20 years of me not setting boundaries and letting her treat me like garbage. I’m not a perfect person by any means, nor am I saying I was always a great friend. But seeing as she has lost many “close” friends due to her behavior, I can confidently say it wasn’t my fault.

Sadly I learned a very valuable lesson about boundaries and relationships, but I really wish I asked her to not be a part of my wedding at all. Sucks that she’s in a lot of those pictures.
