Quote this with the first four Horror movies that come to your mind that are 10/10s for you. No cheating. Just the first four that pop into your head.

I'll go first:
-Silence of the Lambs
-I Saw the Devil
-Coherence
-Jaws

I bet the birds would trade the push for the ability to do play a complete game this year. So far they only show up for half of any given game.

The feeling of holding a physical copy of your book for the first time never gets old. ARCs are here, and I'm filled with joy! Thank you for this stunning cover art @laurenrayesnow.bsky.social, for believing in our story @notapipe.bsky.social, and for being the best coauthor @jeshonard.bsky.social.

I don’t have anything to promote, so I’ll boost my friends’ book.

Check out Unrelenting for an urban fantasy with Ace rep. Bridget’s sister disappears. When Bridget fights to find her, she uncovers a conspiracy of magic.

The sequel, Undeniable, is up for preorder, too!

I have not, but someone was talking about how good their dirty chai latte was and rather than look it up I decided my head canon was correct.

I don’t have any chai in the house.

Where is Spencer when you need him?

The librarian who taught 14 year old me about inter library loans changed my life.

I don't know who needs to hear this (except the 2 of you that I'm subtweeting in the kindest way possible), but reference librarians spend a sizable part of their day helping ppl learn to use computers or find the new Nora Roberts. Don't feel shy about bringing them weird research questions.

A martini is made dirty by adding olive brine.

I’ve decided m, and I do not wish to be corrected, that the same thing applies to dirty chai lattes.

A muffin is basically a cupcake and a milkshake is basically a smoothie so a cupcake and a milkshake are a reasonable dinner.

It’s a great gateway pen. Cost about the same as a sharpie, writes well, not prone to leaking.
