I should be finishing up my current audiobook tomorrow and I have no idea what to read next. Not even sure what kind of book I want to read next.

My mom worked as a direct care provider my whole life. I have worked in various roles for a residential campus for people with IDD and complex medical conditions. Some people try to say that the “r” word isn’t hurtful. Just more PC policing. This is so very untrue.

Our Thanksgiving tradition is we all pick two movies and put them in a hat and we pick them and watch whatever comes up. First movie this year is Little Shop of Horrors.

I was hoping to finish THE SHATTERING PEACE by @scalzi today but I ran out of time. The audiobook is excellent and the story is a lot of fun but I probably will need to wait a few days to finish it with all the thanking and giving coming up.

I just read a list of the top 5 Science Fiction books of 2025 and 1 was a super hero book and the other 4 were fantasy. I love Scifi and Fantasy but they are two very different things. I hate how often they are just lumped together.

Listening to the new Grisham which was dubbed as a whodunnit murder mystery. I’m about 4 hours in and it’s a slog. Mostly the unlikeable main character doing unlikeable things. No murder yet, no mystery. The real whodunnit is if I’m going finish.

Fact: My mother takes much better care of her dog than she ever did of us.
Also Fact: I don’t blame her.

So what song do you want Jason Isbell and Drive-Bye Truckers to play on The Late Show next month?
My pick is Goddam Lonely Love. Although it’s more likely to be Decoration Day since it’s for the anniversary of that album but man I’d love to hear them play that.

I see a lot of people taking shots at country music based on an AI generated song taking #1 on the charts and I think this misses the point. There is a lot of amazing artists in country music putting out great music, and this hackneyed drivel of a song doesn’t even come close to them. Fuck AI.

Everyone should check out @vortexbooksncomics.bsky.social Ebay site. I won 5 James A. Moore fantasy books and included in the package they sent me was a bonus book, a bunch of bookmarks and oddly a pamphlet for a senior living community. @briankeene.bsky.social

There are books that I read the description and I’m like “man, this sounds like something I would love”
and when I read it I’m like meh. Then there are authors I read who I’ll read the description and I’m like “meh” but then I fall in love with the book. MR Carey is one of those authors.

Just finished King Sorrow by Joe Hill in audio. So many people raved about this so I was totally expecting to be let down. But man, what a ride. Messy and darkly beautiful. The audio was so well done. I won’t say this is my favorite book of the year but it’s one I’ll be thinking about for a while.

So we are supposed to be able to see the Aurora Borealis today but John Wyndham taught me to never trust children, plants or astronomical phenomena.

My father was a Vietnam Veteran. He also wasn’t a great father. He missed most of my life events. He eventually came back into my life only to again abandon us for a new wife and family. Years later, he sent us a viscuous message about how ungrateful we were for not wishing him Happy Veteran’s Day.

Dear author of “7 Films You Didn’t Know Where Based on a Stephen King Story.”
Most Stephen King fans know that a minor character in one book was the second cousin to a minor character in another book, so I’m pretty sure they know all those movies where based on a Stephen King story.

I have what I call a “car book.” It sits in my car for when I have to wait for the girls to finish dance or I run out on my lunch break to grab a slice of pizza. It usually an anthology of some sort. Right now it’s @briankeene.bsky.social’s The Rising: Selected Stories… (cont.)

Reading my first book by @laurelhightower.bsky.social . It’s a print read so it’s slow reading, maybe a chapter
or two a day but man is it creepy as fuck. Just finished a chapter today with a total wtf moment.

I hate when people make a post about a book they don’t like and say, “I don’t understand why people like this book.” I have read plenty of books that I didn’t like but I can understand why they may appeal to others.
