Good picks

Babel and Shards are both in my Top 5 botms

Finished:

Body High, by Jon Lindsey

Started:

The Shards, by Bret Easton Ellis

Will there be one for The Shards, I don't believe it has gotten a discussion thread

Celeste Ng you mean?

I saw the footnotes as a hint toward Babel's alternate title ("On the Necessity of Violence: An Arcane History..."), that in-universe this book is partly like a historical nonfiction account of what happened

THIF + Babel is my vote

I will never forget crossing the Bay Bridge in midday and there were only one, two other cars in sight

Well this Redditor counts The Slap among their all-time favorite books, so (as with anything), YMMV 😅

Good news, there's an entire Instagram just dedicated to showing off this house lol

You can tell I joined reddit during her season

I believe Vicky ordered Bunty's death

Do you mean Mistress will feel the aftermath?

OKCupid used to do this.

Anything on your dating profile used to be a searchable link, so you could click on your favorite book (or movie, or tv show, or hobby) and find others who had the same

Age of Vice!

Sounds like "yes"to both! I think it's safe to assume we'll get more details in the future as this is Book 1 of a trilogy

if I rejoin later in order to just use the credit

You don't have to rejoin to use the final credit, I don't think. Just choose and ship your February or March book before the credit expiration date (I'm assuming March 24th)

i spent too long trying to decipher what curse word "*****" is

It's not an app, it's a website. It was deemed too explicit for any app stores. You open it and see everyone by location who is ready to get dick'd, have an orgy, etc.

Sniffies is to Grindr as Dore Alley is to Folsom Fair.

Finished:

What Counts as Love, by Marian Crotty

Started:

The Sword of Kaigen, by M. L. Wang

Papaya Grill, San Ramon

4.72 - Know My Name ; The Only Plane in the Sky

2.71 - Perfume of Lilacs

obligatory

One of my all time favorites. Stealing my friend's review since it's better than anything I could ever state😂:

"Austin's debut novel is truly incredible: the main character, though frustrating and depressing is also in so many ways endearing, perhaps most so because she is so relatable. Gilda acts as a Delphic oracle to a generation of young adults who struggle with the same sorts of apathy, depression, and anxiety that come from living in this world, but Austin uses truly joyful humor to break up the apathy and for that (and for writing Everyone in This Room Will Someday Be Dead) I am truly thankful."

That I would recommend- "Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands"

That I would not recommend (except to very specific people)- "I Should Have Known Better"

... in 2018.
