I loved Devolution by Max Brooks. Would highly recommend if you like survival horror and his writing style!

Currently reading Eight Perfect Murders by Peter Swanson. I’ve taken a bit of break from it bc the last chapter I read had a twist that threw me for a loop lol
I’m also reading two-ish books! The first isDead Ringers by Christopher Golden. It’s a horror novel about doppelgängers. I’m only like 2 chapters in so that’s really all I know lol. The second is Dreamcatcher by Stephen King—another horror novel that I’m actually re-reading. It’s about a group of friends who, while out on their yearly gamehunting trip, get caught in the crossfire of a supernatural event. Loved it the first time, and so far I’m loving it the second time around :)
Thx for commenting! Yes, it seems like I’ve been OOTL regarding star players and the Summer League
Thx for commenting! Yes I’ve seen the video, and I agree that the “slap” was blown out of proportion. The reason I brought it up was primarily to draw attention to the fact that Wemby has bodyguards in the first place. That seems so odd to me, but maybe lots of rookies get bodyguards? I understand taking precautions to prevent injury in a player at high risk, but are bodyguards really needed for that?
And I agree with your assessment for him sitting out of Summer League. I was unaware of his French league schedule, but trying to prevent injuries for as long as possible with the guy who will potentially be the new face of the franchise makes sense.
In terms of downside, I tend to worry about how all these new players will adjust to such a different lifestyle from the ones they used to lead. While this might not be the case for Wemby since he was already playing professionally in the French league, but to go from high school hooper to college star to NBA fame, with all these expectations of carrying a franchise or being a breakout star—that can be a lot of pressure for any 19-20 year old.
Ohhh I didn’t even think about the fouling as a factor! And I imagine given his proportions, there’s concern of serious injury with the excessive body contact. Perhaps the plan is for him to spend the time bulking up so that he’s more durable in the regular season?
Ahh ok, I see. So it seems to be primarily an issue of his longevity in the league given his proportions. That makes sense, thx!
Calling horror lit fans! The Haunted Forest Tour should be on your radar.
If you’re a fan of amusement themed horror stories, then I would highly recommend you check out this book by James A. Moore. The premise—a group of tourists get stranded in a forest full of creepers, creatures, and things that go bump in the night. I found the book a fun listen from start to finish, and the characters were (imo) incredibly realistic in their reactions and behaviors. Would love to hear from others who have read it!
That’s why a lot of people are suspicious that the quote is out of context or out of order. And it looks like the full quote explains that he likes LA bc he can be close to home and compete for a championship
Lovely! I have a golden pothos that I also love to death. She’s dramatic as hell but always bounces back
Currently reading The Haunted Forest Tour by James A Moore. The premise is a safari thru a forest filled with horror creatures that goes wrong, and I am LOVING it so far! I’m still pretty early into it, but so far so good. After this, I think I’ll go back to another Agatha Christie whodunnit

I finished Eight Perfect Murders by Peter Swanson last week and decided to re-read The Odyssey by Homer. I’ve only read ~10% but it’s still as good as I remember it from my college English class
