Watching 'Detective Hole' and first of all, wtf Jo Nesbø, Waaler is insane. Second, how the fuck does no one ever wake up when some creeper is stalking around their house at night?
Am I a particularly light sleeper, or is everyone else sleeping like the dead?

As a 38 year old, is my hearing a bit janky in one ear today because I started using almond oil to deal with dry ears, or is it because the gain was too loud at the Deftones gig last Thursday?
If anyone knows, do tell.

Sentient
by Michael Nayak
Book 2 of the Ice Plague Wars series. Special operators have come to McMurdo, but so have the microbes trying to find a way off Antarctica. A bit more Aliens than The Thing this time around. Good fun!

People, for my Visit to the Backlist project, I feel I have a bit of a gap. May I ask you for some recommendations of SF, Fantasy or Horror novels published in English between 2007 - 2023 that you think are worthy of mention?

Being primarily inclined towards SFF in my writing and then having an idea that could best be described as a thriller... and now not knowing what to do with it. 🤔

The Running Man is both entertaining and engaging, giving you something to think about as this dystopia seems far too close for comfort, and perhaps wonder if Stephen King is secretly a time-traveller.

A deep and philosophical fantasy novel that shows off some delightful lore and world-building, a multitude of magics, and a cast that will charm and anger you in exactly the right ways.

“Screenshot of a promoted Reddit post by u/AYAGDOS. The post reads: ‘Navigating gender dysphoria? Join our confidential, cross-country study of 18–25 year olds to tell your story, challenge preconceptions, and have YOUR experience reflected in the science.’ Below is a banner graphic with the Northwestern University logo and the text ‘TRANS OR GENDERQUEER? SHARE YOUR STORY.’ The image shows a close-up of a hand with light pink nail polish, partially painted blue, held up against a blurred background. A link to ayagdos.org and a ‘Learn More’ button appear at the bottom, along with Reddit vote and share icons.”
If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

Cultish
by Amanda Montell
An audiobook I started last March and only just finished. Looks at cults and cultish language and how America is pretty much fucked. Worth it.

This is what I asked when I rewatched it over the holidays. But also... how do those manning the beacons get up there? Where do they sleep? Eat? Poop? Those beacons are super remote, and cold AF.

@jeremyteg.bsky.social Out of curiosity (and as I was going to mention it in a review), is Parwys a bit more of a Brythonic (or Welsh) vibe? That's the impression I got and enjoyed it, but don't want to assume the wrong thing! Thank you 😊

The Death of Robin Hood trailer...
While I'm not convinced by Hugh's accent, there was a lot of stabbing and squelchy noises involved, which seems fun.

Thought I had 120 pages left of a book only to realise it was 220 and now my estimated time to finish has been blown out of the water.
