Me when a new piece of tech I impulsively buy arrives comes through the door (I wish I had a bit of patience, but I MUST try it out as soon as the shiny hits the front door)

It's incredibly accessible while having pretty deep lore.

The characters are diverse and aren't stereotypical cliches straight from fantasy.

Women aren't written like their chest size is their entire personality.

The plot is a bit like Oceans 11 with added metals and magic.

I just love it.

I've made it 65% of the way through Mistborn, and I'm honestly loving it.

I don't think I've been quite so immersed in a fantasy novel before, I can't quite put my finger on it.

man says "oh no"

Sorry, just saw the shawshank redemption! I absolutely loved that film! Had no idea King was behind it!

The last film I saw which was a Stephen King adaptation was the long walk! and I was quite meh on that one personally. but definitely giving King a read in the future!

oh yes, I've seen green mile, that was brilliant!

I've heard nothing but good things about Choke! I have yet to read it and Fight Club, but both of those books are on my list!

I don't know - I've never read any of his books! I've seen a few of his films and they seem kind of silly? But I'd be up for reading Stephen King.

@emmavardy2.bsky.social found this at the second hand bookshop. Had to buy it!

Read Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk.

I absolutely loved it, it was a hell of a wild ride. The twists absolutely got me along the way, did not expect any of it. May re-read it again in the future.

A path runs along the left side of the image through a woodland garden setting. On the right of the path is a bank which is covered in flowering snowdrops. Their delicate white heads create quite a spectacle! No one is in view and the image feels calm and tranquil

Want to walk in a place like this?

Also, why is Mars - a planet and not a living creature - full of blood. Why is it bleeding? What was the point of the blood?

It's like all these horror tropes just bungled in to make something scary without any real considered thought *why* these things are scary.

I watched Iron Lung in the cinemas, and legitimately one of the most boring, incoherent horror films I've seen in quite some time.

It's well shot and well acted, but there is so much mystery that as an audience member I fail to see why I should care after an hour in. Let alone 2 hours.

Alas latest low protein bread prescription for daughter with pku. Chemist delayed letting us know of arrival. Second time. Another £54 in the bin. 😔

Oh you have no idea. I actually rang up St Thomas Hospital at one point, and as a millennial I think I can say as a collective we millennials would rather choose death than use the telephone.

Proper panic mode, that. I refuse to use Glytactin or any of their products for this reason.

Haha! My sister said the same thing when she got her copy of the NSPKU magazine!

Hollywood, here I come 😎

Glytactin team just kept saying "we're looking into it" and absolutely REFUSED to give any backup supplements - even a weeks worth to tide me over or something. Never had I been so desperate. Luckily I still have PKU Sphere on prescription - ordered that on prescription and I got my supplies

3/3

I used to have Glytactin Build 20, but one time the supplier told the pharmacy they ran out of Glytactin Build. Pharmacy passed that onto me and I obviously panicked as it was the supplements (really important to PKU peeps). Raised it with hospital.

2/3

I've never had any issues with the bread as the pharmacy understands it is perishable goods (thankfully) but I've had all sorts of issues:

One time in December I reordered pasta, it came in the new year due to manufacturer issues. No alternatives offered.

1/3

I genuinely love it - again, another horror film with themes. It's also basically Phantom of the Opera. It also does an *excellent* job at building up the tension from the beginning to when you see Tony Todd's character.

I would say The Silence of the Lambs is worse.

I remember Tony Todd was paid $500 per bee sting, and got a hefty payout because of it (if I recall correctly, I'm a bit distracted by Hannibal Lecter escaping to look this up 😅)

Since I've got horror on my mind, Candyman?

... I'm never leaving the house at this rate.

Good thing I work in IT, where such things are the norm...

ayo WHAT

I'm honestly quite baffled. Tons and tons of good films were released before 2000s!!

And yes, Silence of the Lambs is super creepy, but has such great themes. I literally discovered a few mins ago that this film is based on a book, and I swear the universe is conspiring against me to read more...

Time to (re)watch Silence of the Lambs!

Buy audiobooks & support local bookstores Libro.fm makes it possible for you to buy audiobooks directly through local bookstores.

Massive shoutout to @libro.fm for having an audiobook store where I can actually *own* the audio books *and* support independent book stores!

I absolutely love this idea, and I hope Libro.fm really takes off!

Mistborn is excellent with how the story goes - at least I feel the audio narrator does an excellent job with telling the story with multiple accents without it sounding ridiculous. Makes it really easy to follow. Can highly recommend it!
