Thirdly

My heart goes out to everyone grieving Geron's loss. I am going to need a moment, and a new box of tissues.

Alright, these are my personal opinions: Thematic (those who took the "forbidden knowedge" theme to heart) Emptying the Library (I'm still recovering from this one) The Ledger Gemma Entertainment Value (those that had me cackling) Peeping Tom (my personal top favorite this year) Sweet Sour Paradox Logic (a VERY close second place for me!!) Coffee With Supervision Suspense (these had me at the edge of my seat!) The Ledger of the Howling Wind Murder at 9th and Tom Unexpected Discovery (towards the end, no spoilers from me!) Wrong Window Just the Facts, Man Romance/Self Love (my heart...) Undeliverable No Official Reason The Ivory Fig Ceremony Subtle Signs

Yessssssss~ Very nice!

You know what they say about curiosity and cats....

NOT the kind of "Peeping Tom" you're thinking about! Don't miss out on reading this one, it is peak entertainment!!

My birth mother abandoned me when I was a few months old. - 😭 When she deemed the skin crispy enough, she transferred the pan to the oven to finish cooking, then pulled the pan of roasted potatoes out and tipped them into a serving dish. She did the same to the sauteed vegetables. - 🤤 She stood at the bottom of the stairs and called up to my brother, Wayne, who was standing on the landing like an idiot. Wayne, being the Neanderthal that he was, started wolfing down his food. - 🤣 Melting into a dark corner, I watched as they tested the windows to see if they were unlocked.- 😂Yep. I know just what kind of siblings these two are now. I pounced on him and used the only weapon I had: my nails. - Let's goooo! Mom was in the kitchen. “Morning, Tom. Your breakfast is ready.” - Peeping Tom!! They’re both fine, ma’am. They were instrumental in catching the guy who was after the information that Mr. Henderson had hidden. - Damn right they were! OMG, I loved this one so freaking much!!!

We never really think about it, but it's true that identity, love, and pain shape us and change us over time. Deep.

Oof. Hang in there, Stephen. Gareth has to sort out his own demons. This felt like a guilty pleasure, seeing Gareth struggling for the greater good. 😂

Holy Hera. Forget "unreliable narrator" this one is more like "scheming narrator."

Prepare some tissues for this one! Heartbreaking and heartfelt.

Aaaaaah I can barely comment through my tears. 😭 Regrets that live on. Facing the truth.

Ever read about fugitives in a supernatural Western? Check this one out!

Yessss this is my kind of story! Action injected with some supernatural and a chase!

We are indeed our own worst enemies and sometimes need to learn to step out of our own way!

Oof. I can't beat this comment, as it's exactly what I was thinking. Being forced to face yourself is no easy thing. I play video games to destress, but I came across at least 2 instances when the game gave me a plot twist and I had to fight my own character at their peak level and I panicked each and every time. 😂We are our own worst enemies, no doubt about that. Wonderfully written!
