Huge love to Third Place Books for adding Snowman to their shelves at both Lake Forest Park and Seward Park shops. I have stars for eyes right now that the book is now a few feet away from where I got a pic with @chucktingle.bsky.social on his Lucky Day tour!

Spotted today at Third Place Books in Lake Forest Park (Seattle suburb), the best review of @scumbelievable.bsky.social's Manhunt everrrrrr...
A close-up photograph of several books on a shelf. In front of the books, a handwritten note is attached, which reads: "Manhunt by Gretchen Felker-Martin" Below the title is a paragraph: "If the pages of this gruesome horror dystopia could make sounds, they would include the following: SNIP SNIP, AHHH!, FFFFFT, PEW PEW!, SHHHLUNK, PLOP!, sniffsniff, PBBBBT, CRRRREEEAK, AHHHHHHH!, swooooosh, mmmm, CHOMP, and SPLAT!" At the bottom left of the note is a logo for "THIRD PLACE BOOKS". On the bottom right, a red label with "Sarah C" and "STAFF PICK" is visible.

The book cover for "Snowman: A Christmas Horror Story" by Walsh Wettengle features a dark, scratchy illustration on a black background. The title "SNOWMAN" is at the top in large, jagged white letters. Below, a two-tiered snowman is depicted with black eyes and a wide, dotted grin. The snowman's body has a lined texture, and it holds a large, sharp axe with a dark handle in its right hand. White dots representing snow fall around the snowman. The bottom of the cover has text that reads "A CHRISTMAS HORROR STORY BY Walsh Wettengle" and "walshwettengle.com". There is also a QR code and text that says, "Available on your favorite ebook and retail platforms". The book is a novel of occult Americana and horror released on June 21, 2025.

A screenshot of a Twitter post by user Lauren Abramo (@LaurenAbramo). The post reads: "No one is more uniquely qualified to take on these weird times than novelists, whose unedited manuscripts often claim that it is both Monday and Thursday and one day ago it was Tuesday and two days have passed in a span of time in which the protagonist has gone to bed five times."

I'm somehow supposed to pick between these two?
It is Deadshot and it is Catman. Catman, shirtless, holds a blade to deadshots neck. Deadshot, in a sleeveless, holds a gun to catman's neck. They greet each other by name.

The image displays a satirical quote from "The Coffeyville Weekly Journal, Kansas" dated December 8, 1899, stating, "It must be hard for a man to express his feelings, having no bosoms to rise and fall with emotion." This historical quote is presented in a modern social media context, with a user commenting that it was likely a "callout posting about male authors."

4 nights camping 🏕 near Mt. Lawetlat'la (aka St. Helen's) and my first read of @keezyyoung.bsky.social's Taproot. The sweetest story about 3 of my favorite things—boys in love, gardeners, and ghosts! Absolutely gorgeous artwork and colors throughout. The taproot heart will stick with you. Promise.
A campsite scene featuring a tan and white tent, a camping chair, and a small grill with a pot on it in the background, set amidst tall trees. In the foreground, a yellow and white patterned picnic blanket covers a table, displaying several board games and books, including "Taproot: A Story About a Gardener and a Ghost" by Keezy Young, "Unfathomable," "Quarriors," and "NERTZ." Also on the table are a black camping lantern and two red containers.

A medium shot of Sansa Stark from Game of Thrones, portrayed by Sophie Turner, wearing a dark, fur-lined cloak or coat with a prominent fur collar. She has long, reddish-brown hair styled in braids that frame her face and fall over her shoulders. Her expression is serious and contemplative as she looks slightly off-camera to the right.

Live. Laugh. Leviathan.
A large, gray, geometric, rhomboid-shaped entity, identified as Leviathan from Hellbound: Hellraiser II, floats centrally in a dark, ethereal space, illuminated by two horizontal beams of light or energy emanating from its sides. The background is a murky, dark blue or black, suggesting a vast, otherworldly dimension.
