#TLT @dabbe

28 out of 100. That includes a few movies I've only seen part of, but I need to pad my numbers somehow. 😀

Three faves:

🎬 I'm not sure how anyone could classify The Karate Kid as a thriller, but I watched it so many times as a kid that I have it memorized beginning to end.
🎬 The Hustler
🎬 The Postman Always Rings Twice

Tag @RaeLovesToRead @CBee @MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm @Ruthiella @IndoorDame @Yuki_Onna

Yuki_Onna Thanks for the tag, Randall! 😺I'm always rubbish with those! 😅 1mo
dabbe I guess some of them are more action than thrills/scares. 🖤 THE KARATE KID, too! Thanks for playing and sharing! 🧡🖤🧡 1mo

I‘m a bit behind on #TitlesAndTunes , but this was my choice for June‘s #GuiltyPleasures ….a fun first in a new series set in Vermont in a town that sounds a lot like Venice (the town is a bunch of canals). I really liked the setting and the characters, and I did not guess the murderer. Definitely worth a read, and I‘ll continue with the series!

Today is Zeke‘s 12th birthday, so have to get a shot with him and the book! 😂 #Zeke #CatsOfLitsy

IndoorDame Happy birthday Zeke!!! 😽😽😽🎂🎁🎊 1y

Ah yes, my #GuiltyPleasures - and a pleasure it was. Three people meet at a strange location. Three authors write how they got there. Of course it's bloody, dirrty and wicked. Especially the first two stories are rather psychological horror. The third reminded me of the movie Alien. Rather fitting for a sci-fi horror novel, right? 😄
This book would also make a good start to get into Warhammer 40K.

#TitlesAndTunes #GuiltyPleasures
Sax Rohmer's adventure thrillers are a guilty pleasure due to their racism and Rohmer's journalistic role in contributing to the racist trope of "The Yellow Peril". His best-known creation is criminal mastermind / anti-colonial patriot, Dr. Fu Manchu. Less well-known is his female counterpart, Sumuru.
Tunes are Desmond Dekker's Fu Manchu, and the original China Girl by Iggy Pop, both of which I love without guilt!

dabbe My roommate in college (back in--gulp--1983) had a 90-minute cassette tape (45 minutes each side) with only “China Girl.“ She played it over and over and over and over ... to this day when I hear it, my hair literally stands on end. Love David Bowie, though! 🤣🤣🤣 1y
Bookwomble @dabbe And your roommate is now my wife! 😮 (Well, perhaps not 😂). David wrote the music for Iggy Pop's original version, Iggy improvising the lyrics about a failed love affair he'd just come out of. As might be expected, the Iggy version is more raw than David's - I love them both ♥️👨🏻‍🎤🧑🏻‍🎤 1y
dabbe @Bookwomble My hubby ADORES Iggy Pop; me, too! Both are just out of the universe. 💚💙💚 If your wife's name is Brenda, then she is the one! 🤣🤣🤣 1y
Cinfhen I never knew Iggy Pop had the original version 🫢 #LiveAndLearn 1y
Bookwomble @dabbe Brenda?! Brenda Bookwomble? A-no! 😄 Iggy is manically fabulous 🦎😊 1y
Bookwomble @Cinfhen David and Iggy recorded it for the latter's "The Idiot" album while they were in Berlin. Iggy was having some financial problems a few years later, so David included the song on his "Let's Dance" album to earn Iggy some royalties. 1y
Rissreads Love that story! ♥️ 1y

One of my #GuiltyPleasures is watching Miranda Mills's 'cosy' reading vlogs. (If you know you know. If you don't, be glad. ?)
So for this month's #TitleandTunes, I'll be reading one of Miranda's recommended cosy reads.
As for a song, no guilt at all. I just straight up love TikTok by Ke$ha "cuz the party don't start till I walk in." ?

How is it almost June? I feel little to no actual guilt about these #GuiltyPleasures, but I look forward to these brain breaks next month!

It's been a long time since I've read any of Shanna Swendson's Enchanted Inc series, but I think this is the one I'm on. Cheesy magic and cheesier romance, it's such delicious brain candy.

NKOTB was my first musical love. And I will always sing along at full volume when I hear this tune! (Link in comments)

Deblovestoread Those baby faces! 1y

Cinfhen I love how we‘re all showing our age through our musical picks 😂😂Fabulous choices 🤩 1y
BarbaraBB That‘s a perfect Guilty Pleasure! 1y
LaraReads Yaaas! Fellow NKOTB girl! My cousin who was 2 years my junior was a Joey girl & this was her JAM! I was Jordan all the way though! Love that falsetto! 🤣😍🤣 1y
TheKidUpstairs @LaraReads I was 100% Joey all the way. Probably because his baby face was so unintimidating 🤣 and I loved his hat with the top cut out, I wanted one so bad! 1y
LaraReads @TheKidUpstairs lol, for sure! I was all about the black jelly bracelets Jordan wore! I had so many ☺️ and that rat tail 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣 Such good memories! 1y

Frevler und Verdammte: Ein Warhammer Horror Roman | Phil Kelly, David Annandale, Josh Reynolds

My choices for #TitlesandTunes for June's prompt #GuiltyPleasures are the following:

Book - I love Warhammer ❤️ A world where in one chapter more people die than in s whole George RR Martin book. Where guts are mostly found outside of people's bodies and even the air tries to kill you.

Song - I now admit liking listening to Kesha. Still 🙈 And I guess there's a lot of timber needed in the Warhammer universe 🤔

@Cinfhen @BarbaraBB

Cinfhen Hahaha!! Love knowing your #GuiltyPleasure(s) ~ plus this song is so addictive 🎶 It's going down, I'm yelling timber🎶 👂🏼🐛 1y
Jari-chan @Cinfhen I guess June's playlist will be filled with ear-worms 😂 1y
Cinfhen Of that I‘m sure 😇 1y
BarbaraBB Haha! Cool choices!! 1y
Jari-chan @BarbaraBB Thank you ❤️ 1y
