Magazines & subscriptions

I'm thinking about getting a subscription to a magazine (or something like that) because it seems fun to get something in the mail once in a while. Do you read magazines? Do you have recs?

“There’s eight planets, right? I don’t remember all their names. Do you?” “Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.” The Pluto slander is still happening, in the year of our lord 2025. 😭

feeeeed me seymour this was a fine little story about connections and tbh belonging. i was very interested in the all-seeing narrator mechanic; i kept forgetting he was there half the time which (even if it wasn't intentional) played very well into the character. i did unfortunately find this to be quite slow moving and the end didn't live up to my hopes and dreams of mutual destruction. the longing in the first half was great but then things turned on a dime and fell apart. in the words of the killers "it was only a kiss, how did it end up like this?" i also didn't connect with any character (except neve); i didn't hate them (except for that awful whatsapp group) but i didn't find anything to really grasp at. even jen wasn't my cup of tea, but perhaps her manic letters got under my skin. the book overall was fine and written well, it just came off a little muted and gray for me.

I’m DEEPLY IN LOVE with this book

SO GOOD!! I love romance, but I rarely read it. That being said, Deep end might have changed everything. I had no expectations going in—but I definitely did not expect something so heartwarming and deliciously dirty!! It sent me on an Ali Hazelwood rampage, since then I’ve read two more of her books.

I enjoyed the book, but I think the characters fell a little flat for me. They all had their moments, but overall, I struggled to connect to them individually. I did, however, really like the group dynamic and the shift between Percy and Annabeth's dynamic throughout the book. I also liked the mythology, but I will admit, I don't know enough about Greek mythology to know how accurate it is and what might have been adjusted to fit the audience age group or to fit the story better. But yeah, I did enjoy my time with the book, it was an easy, light read with lots of adventure. And I do like books where myths and fantasy elements get mixed into modern settings.

Recs to shift my perspective??☹️🙃

Lately I’ve been wandering along a path in life that’s getting a bit too nihilistic for my comfort, and one of the worst side effects has been this huge reading slump in a very “what’s the point” way. So do y’all know any entertaining books or characters that capture that shift from “Life is pointless so it doesn’t matter what I do. (😢)” to “Life is pointless so it doesn’t matter what I do! (😜)”?? I’m trying to turn this ship around!!

The Explorer (The Anomaly Quartet, 1)

James Smythe

A tense, claustrophobic and gripping science fiction thriller from the author of The Testimony. When journalist Cormac Easton is selected to document the first manned mission into deep space, he dreams of securing his place in history as one of humanity’s great explorers. But in space, nothing goes according to plan. The crew wake from hypersleep to discover their captain dead in his allegedly fail-proof safety pod. They mourn, and Cormac sends a beautifully written eulogy back to Earth. The word from ground control is unequivocal: no matter what happens, the mission must continue. But as the body count begins to rise, Cormac finds himself alone and spiralling towards his own inevitable death … unless he can do something to stop it.

Obscura

Joe Hart

She's felt it before … the fear of losing control. And it's happening again. In the near future, an aggressive and terrifying new form of dementia is affecting victims of all ages. The cause is unknown, and the symptoms are disturbing. Dr. Gillian Ryan is on the cutting edge of research and desperately determined to find a cure. She's already lost her husband to the disease, and now her young daughter is slowly succumbing as well. After losing her funding, she is given the unique opportunity to expand her research. She will travel with a NASA team to a space station where the crew has been stricken with symptoms of a similar inexplicable psychosis—memory loss, trances, and violent, uncontrollable impulses. Crippled by a secret addiction and suffering from creeping paranoia, Gillian finds her journey becoming a nightmare as unexplainable and violent events plague the mission. With her grip weakening on reality, she starts to doubt her own innocence. And she's beginning to question so much more—like the true nature of the mission, the motivations of the crew, and every deadly new secret space has to offer. Merging thrilling science-fiction adventure with mind-bending psychological suspense, Wall Street Journal bestselling author Joe Hart explores both the vast mysteries of outer space and the even darker unknown that lies within ourselves.

oh i know this kind of crush, it's all-consuming. everything becomes about the other person. every decision, every fake sign from the universe. is it meaningful that they texted back in 2 seconds vs 3?? you go out of your way for a chance of interaction. it's the type of crush where you lose yourself. i wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

Persephone Station

Stina Leicht

Hugo Award–nominated author Stina Leicht has created a “thoroughly enjoyable” (NPR) take on space opera for fans of The Mandalorian and Cowboy Bebop in this high-stakes adventure. Persephone Station, a seemingly backwater planet that has been largely ignored by the United Republic of Worlds, becomes the focus for the Serrao-Orlov Corporation as the planet has a few secrets the corporation tenaciously wants to exploit. Rosie—owner of Monk’s Bar, in the corporate town of West Brynner, caters to wannabe criminals and rich Earther tourists, of a sort, at the front bar. However, exactly two types of people drank at Monk’s members of a rather exclusive criminal class and those who sought to employ them. Angel—ex-marine and head of a semi-organized band of beneficent criminals, wayward assassins, and washed-up mercenaries with a penchant for doing the honorable thing is asked to perform a job for Rosie. What this job reveals will affect Persephone and put Angel and her squad up against an army. Despite the odds, they are rearing for a fight with the Serrao-Orlove Corporation. For Angel, she knows that once honor is lost, there is no regaining it. That doesn’t mean she can’t damned well try.
