Bingo 2: Arts square The Unofficial TikTok Cookbook as you might suspect is as much about making things look pretty/interesting as it is about making tasty edibles, thus art. Full disclosure: I’m not on TikTok. I don’t care enough or really have the time to go down that path. I do appreciate that the book starts with a discussion of what makes something go viral and gets into some of the logistics of being a successful content creator, and features comments throughout on how to […]

Honestly, I probably spend more time scrolling through the clock app than any other form of social media right now.

As in, more pages are dedicated to sex than […]

A spicy indictment of purity culture?

Purity by Skyler Mason

… This I have to read.* Obviously. I came across Skyler Mason on TikTok. She was speaking about her experiences with purity culture, making a break from it, and then writing a spicy book about those experiences. Purity is that book. (Please note that I received this book as an ARC after signing up for it on the clock app.) Having grown up in a low-key version of the Purity culture, I was very curious about how this would work. I think this book is […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.

Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
