Hot For Slayer by Ali Hazelwood When a vampire slayer loses all his memories, the only person who can help him is the vampire he’...

"I could never be near you and not know exactly what you are to me."

-Ali Hazelwood, Hot For Slayer

My Boyfriends Are All Monsters by Kimberly Lemming Tossing a coin in a mysterious well seems like a harmless way to cope with being ditched on a mou...

"Ruling over a populace as a god and feasting on foolish travelers did not prepare you on how to properly soothe a potential mate. Why was dating so difficult?"

-Kimberly Lemming, My Boyfriends Are All Monsters

I watched a really long and entertaining documentary about the Friday the 13th movies called "Crystal Lake Memories" and when it came time to discuss Jason X, one of the actors that was in it gave it the best blurb I've ever heard for a movie ever.

A screenshot from the video game Sea of Thieves. Two allied Bone & Blade skeletons have the same randomly generated names, except one is "Traitorous Tranter" and the other is "Captain Traitorous Tranter."

Classic yearbook photo meme of "Daniel" next to a photo of "The cooler Daniel" which is just the same guy but wearing sunglasses

A screencap from the video game Sea of Thieves. First person POV looking down at a coconut in the sand. The interact prompt on it for some reason says "Pick up Banana" ???

The Graceview Patient by Caitlin Starling Misery meets Invasion of the Body Snatchers in this genre-bending, claustrophobic hospital gothic...

"I know what I sounded like. The mind seeks to create a narrative. It keeps trying to exert control over an environment. The only alternative is a damaged passivity, learned helplessness keeping you stuck while the shock comes, again and again."

-Caitlin Starling, The Graceview Patient

The tech sector making it okay to wear jeans to work for traditional white collar jobs is probably the only truly great thing they have produced in the last 10 years.

Watchmen screenshot: "It's November 10th now. There is a circulatory system walking through the kitchen..."

This term is so social media-brained. Coined by people who can't imagine themselves without an audience, or that anyone could genuinely want to pass time in any other form than Stare at Phone

Screenshot of search results from the Heir to the Empire trilogy by Timothy Zahn searching for the word "heartbeat"

Actually. Just realized there were 37 returns on "heartbeat" (singular) for the entire trilogy. So that's like 12 times per book. Mabe it was an editorial mandate and Andor's "No more than 12" is actually a reference to that

A search page in the Kindle app for the word "heartbeats" appearing in the book Heir of the Empire by Timothy Zahn.

Look we gotta give him credit for paring it down from "a handful of heartbeats" in the first half of the book to just "a pair" for most of the rest.
Tho he does put in one more "handful" near the end. As a treat

Post-donation nutter butters and cheez its hit different

First time doing Tall Tales?! You're in for such a treat 😄

Heir to the Empire by Timothy Zahn Five years ago, the Rebel Alliance destroyed the Death Star, defeated Darth Vader and the Emperor...

"A Jedi can’t get so caught up in matters of galactic importance that it interferes with his concern for individual people."

-Timothy Zahn, Heir to the Empire

Sunrise On The Reaping by Suzanne Collins When you’ve been set up to lose everything you love, what is there left to fight for? As the day ...

"If you let them treat you like an animal, they will. So don’t let them."

-Suzanne Collins, Sunrise on the Reaping

Victorian Gothic was a fucked up and evil little book (complimentary)

This this this. QA is essential, QA is the backbone, and QA is irreplaceable. They're some of greatest folks I've had the chance to meet and work with, and their humanity is an asset.

Entangled Life: How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change Our Minds & Shape Our Futures by Merlin Sheldrake NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Time • New Statesman • London Evening Standard • Scien...

"What's astonishing is the gulf between what we expect to find and what we find when we actually look."

Watching my favorite show (my husband trying out dance emotes on his Art the Clown fortnite skin)

A movie ticket stub to the film Event Horizon (1997)

If you could see the films I've seen, you wouldn't try to stop me

Soldier protecting sleeping child meme but the soldier is labeled as "Balatro" and the child he is protecting (labeled "me") the bullets, knives, and grenades have labels of "bad social media posts," "being alone with my thoughts," "doomscrolling," and "25 mins of movie theater previews"

been playing balatro for almost a year now and honestly it's the best $10 I ever spent

A mobile screenshot of the card-based roguelike game Balatro. Painted deck (+2 hand size but -1 joker slot), gold stake, ante 9/8, round 21, jokers are Baron, Blueprint, Square Joker (holo) and Ride the Bus (holo). Baron scales xMult by the amount of kings held in hand, and I worked hard to get my kings in deck up to 12, but in this hand of cards, there wasn't a single king. Didn't know Jimbo was a patriot 🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🤡

Jimbo Balatro really said No Kings

Super weird and primarily takes place in an abandoned mine, so it's my favorite and imo the scariest of the three. You should give it a try!

What Stalks the Deep by T. Kingfisher The next novella in the New York Times bestselling Sworn Soldier series, featuring Alex Easton in...

"Sometimes when people hurt for a long time, they start to think that hurting is part of who they are. And then anything that helps the hurt, even healing, feels like it’s trying to strip part of them away."

-T. Kingfisher, What Stalks the Deep

Gray book cover for The Sirens' Call by Chris Hayes

"The promise of the information age was unparalleled access to every single last bit of human knowledge at every moment, and the reality is a collective civic mental life that permanently teeters on the edge of madness."
