Unexpected twist (0 more)
A bit slow at first (0 more)
This novel, which has fire as a central theme, is a slow burn (pun very much intended). At times it seemed to be infused with drudgery and despair, not only due to the depressing topics of domestic abuse and betrayal, but also because of the main characters’ inability to really understand their feelings and emotions. That being said, the climax does not disappoint as it brings about truths and twists long taken for granted since the first few pages.

I am just not a fan of Drake
I won the Scorpion album from a Smashbomb Giveaway.

I am not a fan of Drake, and I didn't play all the songs. I have heard In My Feelings way too much, and it became overrated to me. I like the Keke Challenge though, because I get to see people make fools out of themselves while their car goes away lol ;D

I liked the old Drake, but the few songs I heard from this album weren't for me.

"This is straight marketing advice: Your product has to be a purple cow—it has to be distinct to have any success. You have to be clear on your product: What are you? What are you putting out there? For years I never did an ad for [my company] Rocawear, because I cared more about the quality than the face in front. I hadn't read this book back then, but when someone puts words to feelings you have, it's like, "Wow, that's exactly what it is.""

"This was a surprise when I first saw it, and it remains a surprise. I initially viewed it on an old VHS cassette (lent to me by a friend) taped off of late-night TV back in the 1980s (commercials and all). It really wasn’t what I expected. Its low-budget veneer faked me out. I figured it for an amateur snore-fest, but the movie turned out to be a truly otherworldly experience capturing some quality of the dislocative feelings of a nightmare."

Book Favorite

"There aren’t many authors who can get me invested in a one-night stand right off the bat, but this book was real and raw enough to make it work. Written solely from the hero’s point of view, Trashed follows an ex-con gang member trying to get back on his feet as he develops feelings for the prickly chef he works for. Sexy, funny, heart-warming and intensely romantic, this book is one of my all-time faves. In fact, I adore this whole series."

1968 | Classics, Horror, Mystery

"It’s hard for me to speak on the influence of these two beautiful films without getting emotional. Both put a woman at the center of a nightmare that is too true for many of us in our day-to-day lives, and both give the audience access to the crisis of not being believed. Both also imagine a world where the family unit itself fails us, where it’s possible for our partners, our children, and even our own maternal feelings to ensnare and ruin us. Essential viewing."
