If you're here for a roast beef and sharp provolone sandwich with natural black cherry soda pop and kettle-cooked BBQ chips, then yes, I am here for what you're here for. Pair with: a dumpster fire of a day 🔥🗑🔥

Shortstack Hope your day gets better! You both certainly deserve it! 8y

Friday night #BooksandCoffee. Working my way through this collection of short stories about fear. They're wonderful so far! But they can be intense so I'm taking my time with them. 📖☕️

Notafraidofwords What kind of fears? 8y
BekahB This sounds really interesting! 8y
BookishFeminist @Notafraidofwords I'll be making notes of TWs for you- I'm only 2 stories in & so far it's been plane crashes & drowning. 8y

BookishFeminist @BekahB It is! I'm pleasantly surprised by it, especially for a book I just grabbed off the new release shelf at the library for the cover alone! 8y
Megabooks You really are going for it! I'm interested in TWs, too. Love a good short story collection. 8y
BookishFeminist @Ebooksandcooks Hahaha I really am- this stuff isn't that tends to trigger me at least so far. I went into this book blindly! But GO BIG OR GO HOME. (Totally going home though bc Starbucks just closed on me 😂) 8y
Zelma Have you read Trigger Warning by Nail Gaiman? It's a collection of short stories that sounds up your alley. 8y
BookishFeminist @Zelma I sure have! I bought it the day it came out. I worship at the altar of Neil Gaiman 🙌🏼 8y
Zelma @BookishFeminist 😆I'm not surprised but I was just checking. 8y

This dude is an incredible writer. I randomly picked this off the library shelf because the cover grabbed me, so I went in without many expectations, but I didn't think the stories would be so palpably suspenseful & heavy. He lets tension rise & build & then adds a layer of thick emotion to it as his characters confront their innermost fears. This quote ☝?️ is about the fear of experiencing a plane crash, from the story "Brace for Impact." ✈️

OSChamberlain Intense! 8y
[DELETED] 2232195534 That is way, way scary! Says me, the nervous flyer. Wonder if reading about fears would make you more or less fearful? 8y
