@sunsetmog Happy birthday!

@giganticism I know nothing about snakes, but I have decided shosho is beautiful.

@jazzish I've been noticing a lot of similar things recently. I blame autocorrect for the initial error.

[Ruth Alderson @rsadelle]

@jazzish Secret third thing! I live (a) relatively near the hospital and (b) in a town where there's only one hospital, so it's pretty easy to tell if the ambulance is going toward the hospital or not.

[Ruth Alderson @rsadelle]

@sunsetmog Ohhh, I didn't know that. I assumed since it was based on a book it was complete. I will not be watching until it's a completed story!

[Ruth Alderson @rsadelle]

@duckgirlie @katiegeeks I've read three of them now. This one was an enjoyable ride, I loved The Guest List (the first one I read), and I was kind of meh on The Hunting Party. I have read a lot of thrillers in the past few years, and she is doing exactly what the genre is doing.

[Ruth Alderson @rsadelle]

@duckgirlie @katiegeeks I read a Lucy Foley today (The Midnight Feast) and because of this thread, I paid attention when we found out who the person whose body was found at the beginning is: 90% of the way into the book.

I'm watching the first ep of 9-1-1: Lone Star: (a) this show's coloring is weirdly gray and (b) Liv Tyler?????

[Ruth Alderson @rsadelle]

Actual conversation as they talk about getting takeout for dinner:
TK: You pick.
Carlos: I always pick.
TK: You like to pick.
Carlos: I do like to pick.
Maybe I don't need fic to enjoy the d/s-y vibes of this relationship.

Eddie: Walks out of the hospital room between two lines of his coworkers after Shannon dies.
Me: Why are they not hugging him?
Bobby: Comes in through the door.
Eddie: Walks right into Bobby's arms.
Me: Oh, okay, he needed a dad hug.

[Ruth Alderson @rsadelle]

Eddie is my favorite because he has a very expressive face. The problem is that while I can see exactly the face he would make in the situation I'm writing, I have no idea how to describe it.

[Ruth Alderson @rsadelle]

I think enough people have moved that I'm joining the exodus to the other place, same username. I will still check in here because I know some of you are only here. <3

This is the ongoing thread for books I've read in 2024 that you might like. I will do my best to include content notes (CN) where/as I remember/notice them, but they may be incomplete. As always, DM/email me if you want to know more.

[Ruth Alderson @rsadelle]

The Other Mothers by Katherine Faulkner was a fun British investigative reporter/mom becomes friends with rich mothers of young children and maybe they're related to the crime she's investigating novel. CN: terrible men.

[Ruth Alderson @rsadelle]

I have given up on reading fic for the shows I'm watching and instead last night I read a bunch of sexting fic about Batman-related characters who I don't know and don't want to know anything about. Any other suggestions for fun fic I can read without knowing the fandom?

[Ruth Alderson @rsadelle]

Today is somehow simultaneously only Wednesday and already Wednesday.
