The sun is out today. Will frigid temperatures prevent melting, or can we expect some of this to start turning into water?

Just dropped a list of neo-noir book recs for anyone who loves gritty crime fiction and dark thrillers. If you’re into flawed narrators and fast-moving revenge stories, this one’s for you. 📚🖤 #NoirBooks #CrimeFiction #ThrillerBooks #BookRecs #Hardboiled

I dread reading SA Cosby’s novels, mostly because he does the thing I want to do so much better than I could ever do it. Blacktop Wasteland is yet another example. #booksky #books @blacktopkid.bsky.social

What I REALLY liked about Sinners was the writing in the first hour. Ryan Coogler came to this project with something to say, and this movie should be a reminder to all of us about what is to be loved about going to the theater. #movies #horror #horrormovies #sinners

The possibility of the Warriors going into half down by less than 20 is amazing, given how they’ve played. Jonathan Kuminga was white-hot for about 2 minutes there. #NBA

What is everybody’s take on Exquisite Corpse? I just finished it this weekend, and honestly it was both one of the best-written and most unsettling things I’ve ever read. #booksky #books #horror #horrorbooks

With Steph out, Draymond on the bench, and JB and Pod bricking everything, who do the Warriors even HAVE, at this point? #NBA

That said, some of the language (in particular, the widespread racism) hasn’t aged well, so it is very much a novel of its time. I think readers are intelligent enough to contextualize a novel in terms of when it was written, but I still feel a responsibility to point out that I’m not blind to it.

Just started “Cogan’s Trade” by George V. Higgins (which became “Killing Them Softly” in theaters). Some of the grittiest and most well-written dialogue this side of Elmore Leonard. I’ve never seen an author characterize people so well through their words. #booksky #books

My Dark Vanessa is, as @stephenking.bsky.social says in his blurb, “A well-constructed package of dynamite.” 🧨 📕 📖 📚 #books #booksky #book

Book cover of ‘My Dark Vanessa’ by Kate Elizabeth Russell. The black-and-white image shows a close-up of a young woman’s face with her eyes closed. A butterfly rests on her fingers, partially covering one eye. The title ‘My Dark Vanessa’ is overlaid in white text, with a quote from Gillian Flynn praising the novel. The author’s name appears at the bottom.

Wake Up and Open Your Eyes is a horror novel about zombies being brainwashed by a propaganda outlet, and I didn't know I needed this in my life until I started reading it. #booksky #books #horror #horrobooks

Olivetti (middle grade fiction) is a surprisingly poignant and unexpectedly emotional novel about life told from the perspective of a discarded typewriter. #books #booksky 📚 📖 📕

I ended up absolutely loving Red Rising. I cannot believe I almost put that book down. Still, I needed a palate cleanser afterward, so I am re-reading Stephen King's 'Skeleton Crew,' because I saw 'The Monkey' last night and could not believe it was purported to be the same text. #books #booksky

Totally agreed. The last half was **chef’s kiss** Ultimately, I’m glad I pushed through. Have you read the rest of the series?

It’s such a good (but also insanely heavy) book.

I started (but didn’t finish) Blindness, by José Saramago, and that book freaked me out. The way governments will treat their citizens when surrounded by uncertainty is absolutely unsettling.

That is the ONE Charlie Huston book I’ve never read! I need to “cure” that ASAP.

Okay, I’ve got to be honest: I didn’t love Red Rising for the first…several hours? That said, there’s a plot shift—I won’t say twist—that happens a little over halfway through, and I’ve locked IN on this book. Can’t wait to finish it. #books #booksky

Wow! I've never made that connection, but I can one hundred percent see it. I guess this was the beginning of taking independent action scripts and dropping John McClane into them.

@tblakebraddy @tblakebraddy.bsky.social · 12/02/2025

The opening scene ALONE wouldn't get made in 2025 (probably for good reasons). Die Hard is the GOAT, but I'd argue Die Hard with a Vengeance is waaaaaay more fun to watch.
