A House of Ghosts: A gripping murder mystery set in a haunted house | W. C. Ryan

Well, my local post office was open yesterday after the Canada Post strike and I could finally get my #AllHallowsReadSwap in the mail. Unfortunately, the tracking shows it‘s probably going to be late. 😭 So sorry, @BookishMadHatter !

LeahBergen @BookishMadHatter Thanks for being so understanding! 10h

Cathythoughts Oh no ! Postal strike around your birthday again 😳🤞🏻 9h

LeahBergen @Cathythoughts It‘s so annoying! 7h

I can‘t stop listening to True Believer since Hayley Williams performance on the Tonight Show. I keep watching it and took a deep dive, analysing the lyrics. It was powerful!!!

The Real James Bond: A True Story of Identity Theft, Avian Intrigue, and Ian Fleming | Jim Wright

Amazon's destruction of James Bond has begun. They released a series of posters of the actors who've played James Bond. Do you notice anything odd? They have photo shopped the pictures to remove the gun from Bond's hand and even in his shoulder holster. Rumor has it they also plan to remove the iconic gun symbol from 007. A small thing with all that's wrong in the world, but I'll be interested to hear the reason behind the changes #notbookrelated

ncsufoxes I‘ve heard that Amazon will alter different parts of movies but that is wild. My husband is a big James Bond fan. Luckily we have all of the movies on DVD (I think, I know we have all the older ones). For a country that is so gun obsessed it is odd that they would remove guns from a British based movie series. 5d

julesG Upon first glance I only noticed Lazenby and Dalton missing. The guns? Why? Bond doesn't shoot willy-nilly, he makes his bullets count. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ 5d

AnnCrystal Never been a James Bond fan, but doesn't this guy go after bad people who are usually power-hungry and seeking to dominate the world from the shadows. Villains who seek to control world resources, and/or destabilize the world for personal profit??? 🤔🥺.

Don't personally like guns, and I believe in regulations and restrictions...especially for assault rifles and repeaters.

Yet even I can see the wrong direction this James Bond image is taking. 5d

AnnCrystal OK, just researched this James Bond character a bit more...& Perhaps I should instead state, “scary 🤬 direction.“

Yet even I can see the “SCARY“ direction this James Bond image is taking.

What the 🤬 heck are these 🤬🤬🤬 trying to imply???

🤗✊🏼🤨✊🏼💫.

Eggbeater Well, that's just foolish. They won't remove assault rifles in real life. Movies don't kill people. 5d

Bookwomble Hmm, if you're a gun ownership apologist, isn't the depiction of Bond the epitome of the "one good guy with a gun" argument? 5d

Absolute Honor: A Novel | C.C. Humphreys

I'm going to miss Jack's adventures. The last book I started in September. I'm glad that @OutsmartYourShelf is flexible with #SPNBookBingo2025. This might be reaching, but ...you can't ignore the number.

OutsmartYourShelf I'm as flexible as I can be & I would accept this book for 'Crossroads', or 'Fake ID' as the British Army was used as law enforcement at times in the 18th century. Would that work? 1w

Butterfinger @OutsmartYourShelf I will keep it under 666 if that's okay. Look closely, that's how many pages it had. 1w

Butterfinger Fake ID would certainly work because Jack became a spy. 1w

OutsmartYourShelf @Butterfinger I get it, it just doesn't fit with the haunted hotel/motel element - if the main character stayed in an old, feasibly haunted, inn then I could be persuaded. 1w

OutsmartYourShelf @Butterfinger Exactly, so I think Fake ID would be better. 1w

Butterfinger @OutsmartYourShelf I apologize. I don't know the show. 1w

OutsmartYourShelf @Butterfinger No need to apologise, you've not done anything wrong.

Something just occurred to me - did you see the list of prompts in the word doc? I know a couple of other people missed them initially, so weren't aware of them. 7d

Butterfinger @OutsmartYourShelf I will look for them now. 5d
