  • HOWDY PARDNERS welcome to my new passion project - you read the title right, I have 65 unread BOTM books that have been sitting on my shelves/traveling the country/taking up precious space for YEARS. The spinning wheel of BOTM backlist death picks 5 reads for me every month, and I have to read and choose to keep or donate by the end of that month. Spoiler alert - June is going poorly.

    That pain you were describing sounds like when I pinched my sciatic nerve in my back a few years ago (I was 27 at the time so same. Fairly healthy) It made my whole right leg swell up from hip to ankle and had me crying on the kitchen floor (I have high tolerance of pain too). Those muscle relaxer steroids helped me too. But sadly once you pinch your sciatic nerve it is super easy to pinch again. Glad to know you got better by the end of the video

    I have a long backlog of BOTM and Aardvark books I need to get through! Sometimes the desire for that add-ons or 2 is too strong and they add up with other book purchases lol I created a spinner wheel on my phone with an app, but like the added idea of a certain number and time before reading or donating them. I'll be following along to this series!

    Grimm's Puppets by Tom Prater is one of my go-to psychological thriller recommendations (and go-to indie recommendations too). It's set in the 1980s, inspired by some of the Grimm fairytales. Its tagline is: A fairytale ending was never on the cards.... It got me back into reading, and helped me realise I really love the thriller genre.
