My latest “Very Good” condition book.

Also received a “Like New” hardcover that was damaged on every corner and through the dust jacket. Of the three books I ordered, all were in a lesser state than advertised.

They either refund me or send me a new copy and allow me to keep the damaged one. I’ve ordered “Very Good” copies where the pages are written all over, the covers bent/damaged, etc. but this is the most egregious I’ve seen. It’s odd how the one time I ordered a “Good” quality book, it came in better condition than some of the “Very Good” books in the same order.

I’m not too bothered— their customer service is great and I’m always left with something to donate to my local Little Free Libraries, but this one was shocking, lol.

May reads! [26/52]

This is the most I’ve read in a month! A lot of enjoyable reads. Was my first Sager and Hillier thriller. Will definitely read more Hillier, although I’m iffy on reading Sager again.

Lines missing in Murder on the Links?

I found it quite odd how Marthe was first introduced (by name) as if it hadn’t been the first time the reader learned her name. So I looked it up to check— what could be the reason for this? What else might my book be missing???

Didn’t read as much as I’d like to this month. Had some mental health stuff. Barely finished Roger Ackroyd. Wish I’d hit 5, still on my Christie kick right now!

I watched Bugonia. It ended. I looked up theories on it. Then I realized that while I had subtitles up, the part of the film which inherently requires subtitles doesn’t come up. I’m going back to rewatch it now. I thought it was a directorial choice not to let us know what they were saying >!in the alien language.!< But the subtitles don’t show up during that one part…

The part where you *need* the subtitles. They charge more and more and I get issues like this. If I hadn’t looked into the movie theories afterward I wouldn’t have caught it.

PLEASE USE SPOILER TAGS!!! I just want to know y’all’s experience and make sure to avoid spoilers myself. I still have a lot more Christie to read.

I just finished The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. A booktoker said >!The Silent Patient!< was just a worse version of it.

That effectively gave it away for me, and I enjoyed the book a little less. I gave it a 7.5/10 as a result. I think it’s very well done, I can appreciate how it subverted expectations and started a new trope. And I love how sociopathic the seemingly mundane killer must be underneath it all. There were times I doubted I was right. Other times it seemed painfully obvious. She did a very good job of putting all the clues right under the reader’s nose.

Hello, I’ve been experiencing debilitating anxiety so bad it interfered with work. I’m taking some time off, immediately got a psychiatrist and got back on Zoloft (apparently I was on 200mg before). I’m at 25mg right now and life is kicking my ass.

The panic is constant, the fear is constant, the akathisia is severe. I’ve walked 10 miles a day because I can’t sit still. When the panic gets bad I have the *bad thoughts*. When it subsides or isn’t as severe obviously I don’t have those same feelings. I don’t want to hurt myself, I just want this to stop.

It hasn’t even been a week yet. This will be the sixth time I take it. Should I push through since it’s worked for me before? Does anyone have similar experience?
