"The halftime show was boring."

Look, you may not be familiar with the genius of Kendrick Lamar and couldn't quite hear the lyrics and don't know the backstory and the symbolism went over your head, but trust me when I say you'll want to read an analysis of it and rewatch. A true masterpiece.

It's amazing how instead of being at odds, #Booktok and #Booksky just seamlessly merged in one day. Only the reading community can achieve such a peaceful merger. 😅

A comfort read and a comfort snack. Have you read or watched Larkrise to Candleford? It has a slow, relaxing quality about it. The show is better, but different so be aware.

still going to try to decrease my tik tok usage with everything going on… does anyone have recommendations on good bluesky accounts for recipes, book recs, history, or DC events/cool spots? feels like that’s what i use tik tok for the most

Me too! Gives me hope for a bookish renaissance!
Love seeing #booksky trending and booming!

Let's start this new account with a message that's appropriate for the times. Horror has accepted people like me since its inception. This place does the same. Dark times are ahead. Let's keep horror on the page, screen, and airwaves.

Like the shirt?

Recently finished Dreams of Desolation by @miggyg1.bsky.social ! Definitely read if you're a fan of mystery, modern gothic, and supernatural thrillers!

Hoping Flashes app will provide pics and reel sharing, and that it will cooperate with my Android. 😅

If you're looking for a dark fantasy book with assassins, morally gray characters, and a snarky main character, check out The Assassin of Grins and Secrets.

A small English village at the edge of moorland with forests nearby. The villagers would, of course, be keeping a terrible secret 😈

#HorrorWritersChat question 4 (last question but stick around in ten minutes for the outro):

You can only use one setting in all your horror works going forward. What/where would this place be?

Quote post, and don't forget to include the tag!

I'm gonna need a humbled tech expert to create an alternative to IG and Tiktok asap. Love making reels but don't want to support A-holes.
