Just a bit of fun! I sometimes forget to select the user tab on phone, and on web sometimes I search for people to go and see what cool things they've been reading but I get a bit lazy

Because of this, I've accidentally landed on Jimmy Kimmels's The Serious Goose way too many times to count when going to check out what @SeriousGoose is up to. Or I decide to go see @daydreamday and end up staring at Daydream (Maple Hills, #3) by Hannah Grace wondering why I clicked on it without thinking 😆 There are other people like @yourartistfriend where I have never been lost though!

SO when you search your name (or username) under the book search, does a book come up? What is it?

Mine is Avalon by Anya Seton - which is one of many books with 'Avalon' in the title. But I still haven't read it.

P.S. If you haven't checked out @ayzrules's Pagebound User Book Cameo list, its fun and semi-related to this.

What's the longest line you've ever encountered? I just remembered this banger from Salman Rushdie's The Satanic Verses, lol:

'Once I'm an owl, what is the spell or antidote for turning me back into myself?' Mr Muhammad Sufyan, prop. Shaandaar Café and landlord of the rooming-house above, mentor to the variegated, transient and particoloured inhabitants of both, seen-it-all type, least doctrinaire of hajis and most unashamed of VCR addicts, ex-schoolteacher, self-taught in classical texts of many cultures, dismissed from post in Dhaka owing to cultural differences with certain generals in the old days when Bangladesh was merely an East Wing, and therefore, in his own words, 'not so much an immig as an emig runt' — this last a good-natured allusion to his lack of inches, for though he was a wide man, thick of arm and waist, he stood no more than sixty-one inches off the ground, blinked in his bedroom doorway, awakened by Jumpy Joshi's urgent midnight knock, polished his half-rimmed spectacles on the edge of Bengali-style kurta (drawstrings tied at the neck in a neat bow), squeezed lids tightly shut open shut over myopic eyes, replaced glasses, opened eyes, stroked moustacheless hennaed beard, sucked teeth, and responded to the now-indisputable horns on the brow of the shivering fellow whom Jumpy, like the cat, appeared to have dragged in, with the above impromptu quip, stolen, with commendable mental alacrity for one aroused from his slumbers, from Lucius Apuleius of Madaura, Moroccan priest, AD 120-180 approx., colonial of an earlier Empire, a person who denied the accusation of having bewitched a rich widow yet confessed, somewhat perversely, that at an early stage in his career he had been transformed, by witchcraft, into (not an owl, but) an ass.

I recently got a friend to watch an episode of Leverage with me and then she recommended me a bunch of heist movies some of which I enjoyed a lot. Because of this I am in the mood for reading something on the more light-hearted side of things about a team of characters committing crimes (preferably a heist but I am open to other suggestions) and I would love it if one or ideally multiple of those characters were LGBTQ+ (mostly because some of the heist movies were very straight and I am not). I've already read the obvious choice "Aces Wild: A Heist" by Amanda DeWitt but I yearn for more. Any recommendations you have would be appreciated :D
