I got a ticket for going 41 in a 30. I deserved the ticket, and paid it. Hardly a scam, though I do think speed cams aren't a fair system as $75 is just a speeding toll to a rich person but a lot if you're lower income, so not a great deterrent. Not sure how to remedy that though.

Due to several factors my own writing was on hiatus for a bit, but I'm so happy to finally be back working on a project. Let's hope the momentum holds! 🥰

The Graceview Patient - Book Review

Tina's Always Reading @tinasalwaysreading.bsky.social · 14d

It went on a bit long for my taste but she absolutely nails the sense of paranoia and isolation.

They Fear Not Men in the Woods - Book Review

I'd say around 12-15%. Of the 100 or so a year, 12-15 are audiobook. I love them for long fantasy especially.

Eco and survival horror is a sub-genre I really enjoy. While this book wasn't perfect, I had a good time with it.

Sorry I was so busy I barely got on socials since Tuesday morning my time! It's in the same universe but not related at all.

A melancholy, meditative look at the future of animals on our planet (but also a great read).

The House of Monstrous Women - Book Review

A wonderful example of how to do modern Gothic horror. A great balance of creepy, visceral scenes and deeper themes. And I learned about Filipino history too!

Automatic Noodle - Book Review

Tina's Always Reading @tinasalwaysreading.bsky.social · Jul 24

This one hit a bit too close to home while I was reading it, but aside from that, I thought it was a great blend of cozy and serious, with an important message about human rights (in the guise of those of robots).
