listened to a book on plains indian mythology n folklore n in lakota lore if you die n don't have a wrist tattoo you don't get to heaven. your ghost gets pushed off your cloud n have to wander the land aimlessly. gatekeeping the afterlife from smoothskins is insanely based
The mythology for chugs has changed. If they don’t die with a bottle of firewater in their grubby paws, their spirits are cursed to forever walk a Trail of Tears without ever getting a sip of hooch. Terrifying!
Oh great, you’re telling me that the Negroes have upped their game to include scalping? But isn’t that cultural appropriation?

had to DNF Mrs Shim is a Killer. It was very promising to start off, with our main POV character doing a great job of settling the atmosphere but I did not give a single fuck about any of the other characters except maybe Mrs Lee, and the prose also kinda derailed. It's a big shame, because it had such a huge amount of promise. My working memory is pretty good when reading, but this book was so disorienting that I still can't remember half of the characters but mrs shim herself. Great concept, bad execution.
reading the latest ty gagne "people died trying to hike the white mountains in a blizzard again" book
bout halfway through. this time it took place in 1982, meaning there's no personal tracking devices n lower quality walkie talkies so there's a missed connection thing going on. the 2 hikers missed their turn off in a white out n get down below tree line n are lost n frostbitten with no gear but the rescue crew are searching the wrong area. one of the rescuers is gonna get taken out by an avalanche cuz these two chucklefucks wanted to leave their gear n hoof it up mt washington knowing they were gonna get hit by a blizzard.

Some of you might remember me posting this book a while back. I finally finished it because I’m a slow reader.
I can finally start reading the Egyptian Book of the Dead now. It’s even got pictures of the original hieroglyphs to accompany the translations. I also didn’t mention that I got a collection of the Brother Grimm's fairy tails at the same time, which I’ll probably read afterwards.
