Finished reading: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 8 Omnibus Volume 1 by Joss Whedon πŸ“š

Logging this about a week later, but happy to have finally finished this big volume, years after the original publication… late to the party, but better late than never

πŸ“š Super niche, but between Jonnie Park (aka Dumbfoundead)’s memoir and Eddie Huang’s debut novel, I’m eating good this year!

A bold and graphic poster featuring a close-up of an expressive face with cuts and bruises, surrounded by red and white text on a blue background promoting Jonnie Park's SPIT: A Life in Battles.A banana with two blue stickers and a pair of cherries is positioned against a pink background, with text indicating Come Undone: A Novel by Eddie Huang.

Drops of God Season 2 feels closer to a Largo Winch-level of personal international intrigue, with a hint of thriller and mystery.

Quite enjoying it so far tbh!

Two people stand back-to-back surrounded by illustrations of grapevines, with the text Drops of God beneath them.

Which one of y’all is doing this?! I’m flabbergasted that the stats are so high! I happily live in a strict no-Temu, no-Shein household.

A note from editor Toyah HΓΆher discusses the high volume of low-value parcels entering the EU from Chinese sellers, highlighting monthly shopping statistics from Temu and Shein.

⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ Finished reading: Mint Condition by Dave Jamieson πŸ“š

Super niche, but a great read for me, as a small-time baseball card collector, wanting to learn more about the History of The Hobby!

A hand is holding a book titled Mint Condition: How Baseball Cards Became an American Obsession by Dave Jamieson in a living room.

Since we’re talking music, go listen to Gorillaz’s new masterpiece, ”The Mountain”, you’ve been missing out if you hadn’t until now!

Genuinely their second best, after Demon Days and ahead of Plastic Beach. This one completes the trilogy beautifully and I can’t wait to get my hands on that collectible yellow Vinyl!

Three people in colorful clothing stand triumphantly on a mountain peak with a dramatic cloud-filled sky, and the word ΰ€ͺΰ€°ΰ₯ΰ€΅ΰ€€ appears above them, the artwork for gorillaz’s new album β€˜The Mountain’
