This makes me want to watch even MORE SNL clips😭 i feel like a lot of the YouTube compilations are more recent sketches (which is fine) but clearly there is other content since this show has been around for 50 years now. Just wondering what everyone’s fave sketch is👀

Firstly, thank you to NetGalley for the eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Secondly, does the rumors are true. This is absolutely a love letter to horror. It’s also more than that though. A lot of my life I’ve been posed questions (or just given a dirty look) about why i love horror. It’s a genre that to me feels like a cold blanket. Something comforting, something i can come back to always, something that lets you know what you’re in for. This book has given me so much of that feeling. Knowing there are other people out there who love this genre as much as me and understand that the people who give those dirty looks aren’t worse, or stupid, or wrong. They just don’t understand on a fundamental level what horror is and what it can provide to you as a consumer. I’m gonna have to buy my own copy so i can tab it up and cry (again) over the personal stories and annecdotes throughout this collection. If i rated nonfiction this would be a 5 ☆ for sure. I love horror because horror loves me 😭

As a massive bookworm and theatre nerd, this list was inevitable.

is anyone else still using their storygraph account? i feel funny going back and forth between the two but i love the charts and data that storygraph presents you (guess i'm a nerd)
if you're not still using it, what are you using instead?

Hi everyone - excited to announce that Pagebound finally has merch! You can view the selection at https://store.pagebound.co/
We know this has been highly requested, and we wanted to get out a first release in time for the holidays, so what we have now is a limited run of a few items. We do have plans in the future for an expanded store with more product types (stickers of avatars & badges, mugs, etc) and more t-shirt / sweatshirt / hat designs. Let us know your other requests in the comments 😊
This was very fun to create, and we can’t wait to see everyone repping Pagebound--it’s about to be my daily uniform 🙂↕️

I find myself guilty of using the sometimes annoying phrase, “The book is so much better”. What are some of your favorite book to movie adaptations of all time? Any that you feel were even better than the book or just as good? Any movies weren’t as good as the book, but still really good? Any that you were looking forward to but extremely disappointed with? One that comes to mind for me is “The Giver”. It was one of my favorite books growing up, and the movie was so disappointing.

“Fictional scares could serve as both emotional validation for the way prejudice and poverty made people feel, and a way to vanquish fictitious monsters in a way white supremacy could not be vanquished.”
She has put into 2 sentences my entire backing of horror and the reason it’s so popular for the oppressed.

Okay, I know there are already a lot of posts about library love and rightfully so! But I just recemebtly learned that this is officially National Friends of Libraries Week in the US (Oct 19-25), and now I’m low-key obsessed.
For anyone else who’s just hearing about it: Friends of the Library groups are local volunteer-run organizations that support public libraries, fundraising, organizing events, advocating for library funding, even running book sales.
I’m curious: Are you part of a Friends of the Library group?/Have you ever volunteered with one? And is anyone's lical library/chapter hosting an event?
