TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 6d

KT1432 I‘ve been meaning to read my copy for a while now! 6d

Gissy @KT1432 I enjoyed it and I read it in conjunction with the audiobook. The narrator‘s voice is so pleasant. I always enjoy my audiobooks with her as a narrator. But, this book has mixed reviews, you like it or you don‘t. I don‘t see many comments in the middle side ☺️ 6d

Shit, Actually | Lindy West

My fave holiday movies:
1. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
2. It's a Wonderful Life
3. Lindy West's timeless review of Love Actually: https://www.jezebel.com/i-rewatched-love-actually-and-am-here-to-ruin-it-for-al-...
We read this (swear-word-filled) review with our annual listen to David Sedaris's "Santaland Diaries."

dabbe Love all of your choices. #3 review: priceless. Thanks for playing and sharing. ❄️☃️❄️ 2w

Ruthiella I had not read that review before. Hilarious! 😂 2w

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I've gotten through the first two paragraphs and I'm already willing to propose a group movie night with our friends followed by a very dramatic reading of this review by yours truly. Maybe I'll include that sorority letter that went viral like 15 years ago, too, just for funsies! 🤣 2w

1. The Blue Wave. 💙🌊💙🌊💙 Hoping for an even bigger one next year!
2. Our temps didn't hit above 90 degrees. Grateful for small mercies.
3. Survived the following in one day: a Pippa episode, a Covid vaccine, a flu vaccine, a fall in my house which led to an ambulance ride to the local hospital and a couple of staples in the noggin. Plus shot #3: a tetanus one. Fun day.
4. Matt. #always
5. Kate & Pippa. #always

Thanks, everyone. I'm healing, and so is my bruised ego for being such a klutz. Saw my PT guy yesterday and almost gave him a coronary telling him what happened. He didn't even care about my head. All he finally said was, “At least your shoulder wasn't harmed!“ 🤣

AnnCrystal 👏🏼😅😘💝💝💝. 3w

dabbe @AnnCrystal ♥️🍁🧡 3w

kspenmoll Are you ok? So sorry you fell on top of everything else going on, meaning your shoulder. Your PT wasn‘t worried your head knock might affect your shoulder?! Love & Snuggs. Get those dogs to train as your body guards! 3w

dabbe @kspenmoll Oh, that was the ONLY thing he was worried about; he couldn't care less about my head! 🤣 Oh, and here's Pip during the whole thing. I'm bleeding profusely from my head (hit a capillary), and while I'm laying on the ground waiting for Matt to find me, she's snagging treats one by one, deftly avoiding the blood and me. 🤣 Kate was worried; she's my Little G (Little General). I think Pip's on too many drugs to care much--except for food! 3w

dabbe @kspenmoll Thanks, my friend. And my new favorite word is SNUGGS. Right back atcha. 🧡🍁♥️ 3w

The River is Waiting: A Novel | Wally Lamb

That ending…. 💔 This book is so sad. And somehow hopeful. Corny struggles to come to terms with life in prison after caused a tragedy that tore his family apart. He will spend three years of his life there and is determined to come out a better man. This is the story of a complex man, who has grown on me while I couldn‘t stop reading. Recommended!

On a Woman's Madness | Astrid Roemer

I can't decide if reading this with rugby in the background that I don't want to watch is a good fit with this title...

(I am today's find-the-streamer monitor, apparently. We're on #3 already... 🤔😱 )

I'm creeped out by a lot of things! The three I chose are random ones.
1. Caves. Or should I say caving disasters. Just look that up on YouTube, especially the Nutty Putty Cave Incident. You'll see why.
2. Bugs. Or should I saw UGLY bugs. I love butterflies! I once had to get special permission to have my pin-an-insect biology project changed to pin-a-leaf instead.
3. I can't STAND my bare feet on anything. Truly.

TheBookHippie I was with you until #3. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 1mo

Littens! 'Tis the seaon for spooky movies 🍿🎬
I'm genuinely curious what horror films released this ungodly year have riveted you the most? The following are my rankings so far:
1) Sinners
2) Weapons
3) The Monkey
4) The Long Walk
5) The Companion
*Some days I switch #3 & # 4. I genuinely believe that we received two of the greatest king adaptations the same year & I'm fairly certain that The Running Man will be another. Other (Cont)

vivastory Anticipated, but not watched '25 horror films:
*Frankenstein
*28 Years Later
*V/H/S: Halloween (The last one is definitely a favorite in the franchise)
*Shelby Oaks
*Good Boy
Oh, I also very much want to watch Life of Chuck! I recently read the novella and think it's one of the best novellas King EVER wrote 1mo

vivastory *Anywhoo: drop me yr favorite spooky movie recommendations released this year* 1mo

dabbe No movie released this year is worse than the last 9 months. ✊🏻 1mo

vivastory @dabbe The Long Walk felt pretty real! 1mo

Reggie Bring Her Back was amazing. 1mo

Reggie 28 Years Later I really liked it but that last 5 minutes had me scratching my head but it turns out we‘re getting a sequel to it next year. 1mo

AnnCrystal I'm terrible with new movies. Maybe if drive-ins returned, but not a fan of theaters. It can take months/years depending on finding DVDs or TV specials.

Newest horror I was excited to have a chance to see: 2024 The Watchers by M. Night Shyamalan & 2024 Tarot.

Love most of Shyamalan's work, yet while The Watchers was a good storyline, I felt it failed in how the story was unfolded.

Tarot, I felt it failed by falling into a gory killing spree. 1mo

AnnCrystal I noticed you listed 28 Days Later...never watched, usually hate zombies unless they are written by Garth Nix.

Yet, I accidentally watched Slash/Back (2022) and was surprised that I found it on the better side of good (again, zombies are not my thing...so this is a compliment even if it doesn't sound like one 😂🤗🎬💫). It's an Inuit Movie.

@Reggie (edited) 1mo

AnnCrystal I also agree with @dabbe ✊🏼🥺🌟. 1mo

Branwen Definitely Sinners for me! I've watched it three times so far. I can't get over how fantastic it is! 1mo

vivastory @Branwen 👏 👏 1mo
