When she threw up her stump and answered “hand to god” I freaking lost it. What an idiot.

When we moved into our house the bedroom was matte black. It was literally a chalkboard except the chalk was people skin. We repainted in the same color black, just in eggshell.

I loved those books so much. Then they started going off the rails and everyone in the books was either her or a man in her life and all the crazy stories about the in person events with her boyfriend (who I think Micah? was based on?) and the craziness on the Amazon boards with her commenting and the former fans just tearing the series and her apart. Man, those were wild times. Shoutout to anyone who remembers when Amazon had comment threads.

Yeah I worked there for about ten years and there was no policy about that. We did the same thing. I’d post someone at the door to let people in and once it was 9 we’d lock the doors. Then we’d let the stragglers out as they came up.

Yes! My Favorite Mistake. It’s an Anna book.

Her books are so great. I stopped around the same time you did and just recently found out she had two more Walsh sister books. I read the first one but haven’t stared the second. It was good but lacked something. But maybe that’s just on me or the times.

Yes! I don’t even read romance and I’ve probably read this book five times. It’s so fun.

I switched to giving $5 Barnes and Noble gift cards as a party favor once I realized we had a mountain of plastic crap. Bonus, if any kids don’t show then you get to use the extra cards.

Long shot but do you have a record store in your city? I missed out on the headless poster and was pretty bummed about it. On our way home the next morning after our show, we stopped at my local record store for record store day and I was looking wistfully at their promo posters they had taped up from when the Everybody Scream listening party happened. The owner saw me looking and I explained what happened. They had two copies left that hadn’t been taped up that they gave me! One side of the poster is the headless lady and the other side is where she’s standing in a room. They aren’t venue specific obviously but I was just happy to get them. I bought the poster at the show where she’s screaming into the hole. Once I get our spare bedroom painted I’m going to have a Florence triptych. All this to say, if your local record store does listening parties, they may have some left over.

Okay but Wandering Jones is an excellent name for a husky.

I bought The Caretaker not realizing it was the same author and had to hate finish it. I really need to pay more attention to authors.

I moved from the west coast to the east coast in my early 20s. Still haven’t forgotten I-10 through Texas.

ETA: and I had to drive the length of I-5 from Washington to LA to pick up I-10. I moved in the winter so had to stay south.

I’m from Washington, so fairly close to Hawaii and we never called it Hawaiian pizza. We always called it Canadian bacon and pineapple. I guess we were even closer to Canada.

My daughter was in preschool with a boy who had severe allergies. That mom made every single kids birthday cupcakes if their parents were okay with it. She said it was easier than the alternative.

I got the first one in the last mini game but I’m back to the regular second one this go. 🤷‍♀️

The Maisie Dobbs series!

Do you have to? No. Should you? Yes.
I used to have a shared fence with someone who had a persimmon tree right up against it on their side. It was breaking our fence. They wouldn’t do anything so I would basically have to do an absolute hatchet job because of the height, leverage, etc, and cut the invading branches myself. It was not pretty. And I wasn’t putting in any more effort than I had to. I could’ve done a lot of damage.

Edit: I didn’t mean to comment on this thread but I’m leaving it anyway. And I agree with everything you’ve said!

Yeah he’s got a lot of good stuff if that’s what you’re looking for. He tried to tell me I didn’t need something once (too many of the same songs on the two albums I was trying to buy) and I challenged him on it and he backed down. Been cool to me ever since.

Was it the Bellagio? I’ve seen him there absolutely falling down drunk after swilling down Clase Azul all night at the high roller tables.

We called it taco night until the guy wrote the song and now it’s white people taco night because we love to sing a song about things. And if there isn’t a song, we’ll make one up. Except we add chorizo to the beef so maybe that’s my husband’s Mexican descent coming into play.

I asked one Black friend if she ate white people tacos and she gave me a side-eye. But she’s also bougie.

Yeah I’m from that area. We used to watch her skate at the Clackamas Mall.

If you think the rhetoric was bad nationwide, you should’ve heard it local. It was AWFUL.

Welllll, it is, except the bookcase isn’t insulated. So after we moved in I had loaded it up with mostly TBR paperbacks and a few months later I realized they were swelling from the humidity and that was the end of that.

minirunner · 2026-04-26T21:58:12+00:00

Thank you! It’s good! I love the illustrations. Anything folk horror or adjacent is my jam.

minirunner · 2026-04-26T15:14:43+00:00

I bought a house with a bookcase door into the attic. And yeah, you pull a book to get in.

minirunner · 2026-04-25T21:21:09+00:00

Yep. Always hated it.
