In case you didn’t know: This is loosely based on a book by Andre Norton of the same name
Ugh, and during the start of Pride month too…. Why can’t people just leave these women and their sheep alone.
I’m split on King. Some of just stuff like Eyes of the Dragon I’ve read multiple times because it’s so good, others like Needful Things I DNFed quickly.
Have you read The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton yet? It’s a pretty solid and enjoyable locked room style mystery. I read it a few years ago for a different Bingo and really liked it.
Don’t just vote, do everything you can to get one additional voter out to vote too whether that’s organized text blasts, letters, phone banking, or just encouraging a friend that usually skips the election. I was a poll worker in 2020 and I texted 2 friends that were registered at that polling place to come vote and visit me and both came who otherwise would have sat out.
I have a bookwyrm account, but I just found it too frustrating to use regularly and I need something with very little friction if I’m going to use it at all. My hope is it improves as it ages. I like the interface and general features of The Storygraph, but its private equity backing concerns me, my personal favorite though is Hardcover.app. It’s got a funding structure that is super close to being self sustaining and there are plans to open source as soon as they meet their expectations for the base app features and interface. I’m JaymesRS on all of them.
Trump Steaks were said to be so good “you could stick a pin in them”. Just search meatspin to see what I mean.
It’s my understanding that Trump’s hands are so small that before he was president, they used to call him “Mr. Hands”. You can definitely search for that to confirm.
It was always fun to visit when hanging out with the old gang!
Not sure what that has to do with the potential for shenanigans given the public news of a sentencing date being 4 days before the nominating convention, but ok.
I fished up Swordheart by T. Kingfisher and really enjoyed it. There are potential sequels out there to be written but the whole collection is fun.
This week my optimistic goal is Butcher of the Forest by Premee Mohamed and if I get that far Lud-in-the-Mist by Hope Mirrlees. It’s a busy week though so we’ll see how far I get. Both are for bingo squares.
Proven Guilty is one of my favorites and sets up a bunch of stuff that is important “later”.
