Morning, Womble! Am in between books at the moment, but I just finished reading Frankenstein: The Original 1818 text by Mary Shelley for the 1st time, and I loved it!

Good Morning Blue Sky! Hope you’re all ok? Today I’m currently in a short story mood so first up reading the very good Make-Believe And Artifice by Rose Biggen. What are you reading at the moment?

Loved the illustrations, but I found the writing here to be completely lifeless. Just a painful reading experience. The pretty pictures are the only reasons I finished it. Huge disappointment.
3 stars for the illustrations.
1 star for the writing.

Never been much of a classics guy, but it’s surprising to me, especially given my proclivity for horror and my love of the Frankenstein films, that I hadn’t yet read Mary Shelley’s magnum opus. Well, I loved it! Started slow, but gripped me from the moment the creature took the stage.

No thank you is necessary. Your books are always worth shouting about! Thank you so much for the book! Going to get to it soon!

The reason gullible people believe all protesters are paid is because they can't conceive of anyone giving a shit about anyone other than themselves.

There is a seductive lure to internet exposure, we all like to feel we're important and making a difference. We like attention and validation. But sometimes we're just being used. We're being used to fuel big tech advertising dollars with our feuds.

I’m not wasting an ounce of energy on JD Vance’s recent statement about those guy’s being racist/sexist/etc.

Those who WANT to know know what he is already. So when he is what he is, we don’t get surprised, additionally outraged or feel the need to talk about him more.

We know. Onward. #NoKings

Quote this with the first four Horror movies that come to your mind that are 10/10s for you. No cheating. Just the first four that pop into your head.

Alien
John Carpenter’s The Thing
Sinister
Jaws

This book gets five stars for making me feel so dirty and disgusted, and for the absolute insanity that @paperbacksandpugs.bsky.social always brings to his work. Turning that last page, mouth agape, I kept thinking to myself- what the fuck did I just read, and why, oh why, did I love it so much! πŸ™‚

@tiffanymcdaniel.bsky.social was so kind to send me a copy of her sequel to The Wand Keepers! Loved the 1st book, and if you haven’t yet read her other books, Betty, On The Savage Side, or The Summer That Melted Everything, please do so, and prepare to have your heart ripped out.
