Got some new books today! I’ve discovered recently that I am a short book person, and I think this selection really shows that. Anything that’s about 200 pages is, I think, the perfect length. All that needs to be said is said, and there’s no room for the author to put in unnecessary and confusing sub-plots or side character romances.

True Crime Story by Joseph Knox is the outlier of this haul, and that is because I listened to the audiobook way back in January of this year, and then today when I saw the physical copy in the bookstore for the first time I decided to pick it up. It is a truly unique book, because it was written as if you are reading from a police report, with each character’s speech being encapsulated in it’s own section on the page, similar to how plays are formatted. The plot follows a group of friends in the aftermath of the disappearance of one of the friends sister. You get to see how well some of these characters move on with their lives, and how some seem to be crushed under the weight of guilt and sorrow. There’s also a huge reveal at the end that completely blew my mind!

There are certain buzz words that send out bells and whistles, especially when they describe women as 'manipulative' and 'hysterical', that make me think there is a spin on the story.

The trailer for the new House of Hammer doc series is out. Sickening.

Hello, Anon:

I watched it just now from the link in the bio on The Hollywood Reporter’s IG and there’s nothing in it that surprises me except for the fact that in the documentary, Julia “Jelly” Morrison is referred to as Armie Hammer’s “ex”. I thought that term was used for someone who has been, not someone who never was.

Oh, I feel a song coming on …

CELEBRITY SKIN by DOJA CAT

Oh, make me over

I'm all I wanna be

A walking fire

You can't get rid of me

Hey, so glad you could make it

Yeah, now you really made it

Hey, so glad you could make it now

Oh, look at my face

My name is "Might-Have-Been"

My name is "Never Was"

My name's forgotten

Hey, so glad you could make it

Yeah, now you really made it

Hey, there's only us left now

When I wake up in my makeup

It's too early for that dress

Wilted and faded somewhere in Hollywood

I'm glad I came here with your pound of flesh

No second billing 'cause you're a star now

Cinderella, they aren't trash like you

Beautiful garbage, beautiful dresses

Can you stand up or will you just fall down?

You better watch out

What you wish for

Better be worth it

So much to die for

Hey, so glad you could make it

Yeah, now you really made it

Hey, there's only us left now

When I wake up in my makeup

Have you ever felt so used up as this?

It's all so sugarless, useless waitress

Model, actress, oh, just go nameless

Honeysuckle, she's full of poison

She obliterated everything she kissed

And now she's fading somewhere in Hollywood

Glad I came here with your pound of flesh

You want a part of me?

Well, I'm not selling cheap

No, I'm not selling cheap

She is Zoe Nolan’s sister, and she could not possibly be more proud of that.

After rereading The Secret Place and The Trespasser I had the worst book hangover because nothing else seemed good enough lol. But I've finally settled on reading True Crime Story. And it's been intriguing so far.

Mafia is orgenized like a army | @danatruppi

Mafia typically refers to a type of organized crime syndicate or criminal organization that engages in various illegal activities, such as extortion, racketeering, smuggling, and other forms of criminal enterprise. The term is often associated with the Italian-American Mafia, also known as La Cosa Nostra, which has historical roots in Sicily and gained prominence in the United States during the 20th century.

Mystery/Thriller Monday

This book is about the disappearance of Zoe Nolan, a 19 year old student who left her dorms in Manchester and then was just gone. And, then the case goes cold too.

Enter a pair of writers. Evelyn Mitchell finds herself more and more obsessed with figuring out what happened to Zoe as well as the other girls who go missing like she did. And, Joseph Knox is also pulled into the investigation.

It was told in a not so straightforward way, there were emails from one writer to the other, transcripts of conversation, even official documentation as well. It did take a minute to get used to the different sort of way the story was being told, but, this wasn’t the first book I’ve read that has used this sort of thing to tell the story. The most famous book that sorta uses these sorts of things was Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistlestop Cafe by Fannie Flagg (1987, wow that was a long time ago).

I gave this book a try because I have listened to many a True Crime podcast like this, but, unlike those podcasts that don’t generally have a ton of insane twists, this book kept me guessing and had some doozies of twists and turns.

You may like this book If you Liked: Broken River by J. Robert Lennon, Chasing the Boogeyman by Richard T. Chizmar, or The Appeal by Janice Hallett

Black and Blue - Frank F. Weber

Today's latest post on It's Just Life- Finding the Extraordinary in the Ordinary.

If you are looking for a true crime story to read you will definitely want to check out Black and Blue by Minnesota writer Frank F. Weber. This book really got my attention and once I started reading I absolutely did not want to put it down. I might have neglected a few things to get this one finished. I first heard about this author from my friend Audrey who blogs over at Minnesota Prairie…

Just. One. More. Episode.

Alien: Hmm, I haven't seen Human in a while.

Alien 2: That is worrying, you know to never leave your Human out of sight for too long. That's how you get the Ant World they tried to hide.

A: Hmm, but it's also not a good idea to pry into their privacy too much.

A2: True. What were they last doing?

A: Carrying several boxes of flavored nutrient packs into their apartment.

A2: Did they mention anything about a specific subject that had not come up much at all before?

A: Hmm, they did recommend I check out a documentary series about true crime. I did, but couldn't finish. It went into disturbing details.

A2: Oh no. Now, this is important - did they say the word marathon before you last saw them?

A: Hmm, I think so, yes.

A2: How many boxes? And how long ago since they brought them in?

A: Hmm, eight and three days ago.

A2: Your Human will appear in about thirteen days.

A: Ah, I think I understand now, but they're alone, shouldn't a standard nutrient box last about 5 days per Human?

A2: When on a regular schedule, yes, roughly. Your Human is intently watching countless hours of these documentaries and are likely unaware of their rate of consumption due to being emotionally engaged with the subject matter.

A: That is... disturbing. Should we intervene?

A2: No, it's a phase. If we take them away from their current subject of passion, it will become more entrenched, potentially. Best to let them run out of nutrients and force themselves to leave that environment. Then we can persuade them to return to normalcy, given they will be more accepting of the idea due to leaving that situation of their own will.

A: And if they are not persuadable?

A2: Then we get another Human to metaphorically "bonk" them back to their senses. Although on some Humans a literal bonking works too. It's very circumstantial.

A: Hmm...

A2: Although there is also the risk of the other Human becoming convinced to join them instead on further diving into the subject matter. There does appear to be an endless supply of these true crime shows on the Human extranet.

A: That is... not reassuring in any way.

A2: Well, that's Humans for you.

EDIT: New suggestions still welcome, but skim the current replies first to make sure you're not saying what twenty others have already said. Let's just say NO MORE JAPANESE NAMES to be safe (most of the repeats are Japanese); I'm still interested in other culture's tasty snack names

---

Guys, it's an emergency guys

I have lost my notes on names for Zuko's feral mantis-shrimp badger that he pulls from the trash behind his Uncle's teashop and makes into a (hissing, snarling, Nephew Please Put That Down--) pet guys

Please reply to this post with very cute food-themed names, particularly food that is small, sweet, and generally served as a tea cake. NOT tea names, Zuko hates tea. Tea snack names.

Her working name has been Madeleine but I'd prefer something more Asian, because I don't want a subplot explaining how Iroh acquires madeleines in the AtlA world. This should be something served at his shop, or available readily in town, so Zuko can impulse-name his new Snarly McBadIdea Pet. Also I cannot for the life of me spell Madeleine without a google search, so there's that.

If I end up using your name, you'll get credited in the upcoming story.

Also wanted: names for Toph's delicate seeing-eye shrimp-badger, who is a well breed and hard-working lady and therefore deserves a ludacris beefy Earth-Rumble-type name

So that when the Gaang shows up and meets Feral Trash Badger and Little Lady Badger

And hears their names

They absolutely guess wrong on which is which

And Sokka gets an Offended Badger to the face

#this is for the blind!Zuko story #sitting down to seriously outline it because I am feeling the vibes and I want something fun to treat myself with #and I realized #I DO NOT HAVE THE BADGER'S NAME #a travesty a crime a true authorial failing #again please REPLY HERE so I can keep the names organized please don't send them as asks I will lose them like I did before #atla #avatar the last airbender #Zuko
