    Book News

    There is a British website called Fantastic Fiction that compiles a lot of series and includes upcoming books, but the release dates are for the UK. Depending on what kind of books you are interested in, there's sites like The Millions that does book previews for each quarter. There are also some publishing imprints that will email upcoming books. Author website, newsletter, or social media accounts is really the best way to keep up with new releases. Each author is different in how they inform their readers of upcoming books.
  2. That's CBS for you. They cannot for the life of them figure out how to plan a schedule that includes sporting events. Someone in the Chit Chat thread posted a link to a story about how the Billy Joel concert got pre-empted for the news on Sunday night in some areas. Because their coverage of the Masters went over.
  3. I rarely watch anything on CBS. Out of all of the American networks, I feel they are the ones who rely upon focus groups the most. There's rarely any risk or experimentation in their lineup. They end up airing the blandest content that appeals to the most people. I'm not surprised to find out they have a show that has aired 1,000 episodes.
  4. You need a few supplies to take the gel off--a file or emery board, acetone, cotton squares or balls, aluminum foil, and a metal cuticle stick. Use the emery board or file to buff out the shine on the polish and break up the top layer of polish. Soak a cotton pad in acetone and place it on the nail, wrap it up in foil, and wait 20ish minutes for the acetone soak down to your nail. Use the cuticle pusher to gently remove the polish.
  5. I would tackle that pile of library books in my bedroom or maybe read one of the hundreds of books I have downloaded on my Kindle. If the book is good enough, I won't miss my internet. If I am not in the mood to read, then go out and grab a beverage or two at my local microbrewery or just go to bed. It really depends on when I lost my internet.
  6. I noped out of this episode after that extended intro. The acting, the writing, the directing were all too painful to watch. I did not buy Noah as a tween when he was coming off as some sheltered 6 year old. And that dialog made it seem like Benson has left Noah in the dark about a lot stuff that he should be able to handle developmentally. I did catch Carisi mention the upcoming trial for Maddie's abductor. As much as I want to see him in a courtroom and see all the dangling threads from that case get resolved (who provided that picture of Maddie to the sex doll company), I don't know if I actually want to see it and how Benson will react.
  7. Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman welcoming OJ into heaven--
  8. There's also the trolls who start countdown clocks when they find the teenager in question hot. Some days I think the internet was a mistake.
  9. I am also with Nora. The audacity of those supposed fans.
  10. I listened to the audio of this over the weekend, and I agree the hype is real. Out of the 5 Percival Everett books I have read I would rank this at #2 right behind The Trees.
  11. I live in the South, bugs are a part of life here no matter how clean your home is. Most don't bother me. The only ones I actively kill are fire ants.
  12. Yes, they eat other bugs. I allow the spiders who hang out on my bathroom ceiling to continue hanging out on my bathroom ceiling. Now if one is hanging out a bit lower in the shower/tub when I need to use it, then it's a different story.
  13. I had a thought while the show is dredging up Olivia's past, Is this going to be Marishka's last season and they just have not announced it yet? That would explain these trips down memory lane and the St. Olivia voiceover in episode one. Would also explain why there's another captain in the squad room.
  14. I have heard that the audiobook is really good, so I am planning on listening to this on audio.
  15. I am also ecstatic that this won Best Adapted Screenplay. I hope it leads to more Percival Everett books getting adapted. The Trees is begging to be adapted as a film.
  16. Even if the emoji is interpreted correctly, the content of this post makes me angry, I fail to see how that adds to the conversation. For me personally, I would hate to see it used on a post where I am stating facts. Yes, some facts are infuriating, but how is that adding to the discussion, and what am I supposed to do with the knowledge that the facts I mentioned make you angry? I feel the same way when I get the sad face emoji on one of my posts. I don't want to feel burdened by someone else's emotions, I have enough of my own to deal with, thank you. I'm sure this is a me thing. I do wish the site would allow users to set up which emojis they want to receive.
  17. I researched sheets 3 years ago, and settled on these ones from JC Penney https://www.jcpenney.com/p/wrinkle-guard-400tc-cotton-sheet-set/ppr5007993758?cjdata=MXxOfDB8WXww&pTmplType=regular&cid=affiliate|Skimlinks|13418528|na&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=Skimlinks&utm_campaign=13418528&utm_content=na&cjevent=cf95c01cdb4511ee83d203750a82b838 They came highly rated from Wirecutter. I like them, and they are holding up well.
  18. You might not have to hire a tax professional. I remember the times I moved out of state that I needed to file a partial year tax form for the state and not the regular state form. I have never filed my state taxes using TurboTax, so I don't know if they do partial year state taxes.
  19. I don't think anyone complained yesterday. I think the thread closures yesterday were a result of the survey, and these will not be the only forums affected by the new policies. Valid concerns were raised and are now being addressed.
  20. What really irks is knowing the show would have delved into this issue deeper in its past form. Back when the writers cared about the Order part of the shows title. It's a legitimately terrifying idea that is probably technically legal. It sucks that it got dropped to focus on St. Olivia.
  21. Olivia was too busy self-flagellating over not stopping George in that delivery truck and comforting Maddie's parents to offer any aftercare to Tanya. Probably a good thing in the long run for St. Olivia to forget about her so quickly after saving her.
  22. You are not remembering it wrong. George from Canada was hired by him to kidnap the real Maddie after he somehow found out his precious doll was modeled after a real girl who just so happens to live in NYC.
  23. Is this the last of the Maddie saga? I ask because there has been zero follow up to the Maddie Sex Doll (TM) modelled from supposedly private pictures. Someone on Mom's friends list is a perv, are we going to get some closure on that? Or are we supposed to forget the middle of that episode?
  24. That commercial makes me wonder what Todd did to warrant getting the vacation home. I highly doubt Todd did as much as Mr. Mumbles to deserve the home, his name is Todd** after all. **I personally hear the name Todd and think of "Why is the carpet all wet Todd??" and George Carlin's Guys Named Todd bit.
  25. I don't think she as bad as "Duggar Time" but she is not someone showing up anywhere 20 minutes early. I can also see her not understanding airline time. A 12:40 flight does not mean be at the gate by 12:35 and you will get on the plane. Jill would be "David it's only 12:28, I have time to go and check out this shop."
