I went out today to take a walk, and while browsing at a bookstore, I found Vanishing World! I was surprised, because I hadn't known it was released already. This is Sayaka’s fourth work and first hardcover in my collection.
I haven’t started reading it yet, but her novels contain everything weird and eccentric, as well as never being afraid to get horrific or uncomfortable. I recommend Earthlings by her. Excited about this!

This was genuinely one of the most unsettling and uncomfortable books I’ve ever read. It was absolutely bizarre in the best way and is among my favorites because of how shocking, dream-like, and strange it is.

240 pages. ⚠️⚠️⚠️FAIR WARNIGNG it is so gross like read the warnings. Theres assault, abuse, incest, etc.
She also wrote convenience store woman but it couldn't be more different (also incredible book I recommend). It blurs the line between whats real and whats imagination, and it REALLY pushes morals and societal norms. Its so gross but oh my god I cant stop reading. Its like a car crash
10/10 one of my favorite books ever

collection of out-there short stories by the author of "convenience store woman" and "earthlings"
let me get this out of the way: this is so, EMPHATICALLY, not for everybody. i wouldn't say it's on the level of earthlings in terms of off-putting, but it's not NOT hovering around that point. go in with as open of a mind as you can. really interesting ruminations on relationships, societal taboos and just weird, weird shit. if you're squeamish, i'd at least recommend it for "two's family," probably the least affronting of the bunch

I came back from a grocery trip and was greeted outside my car by this little creature this evening. I sat in the street for a few minutes and we hung out. Very chill, only wanted to be pet, never tried to scratch or bite. I will name it Pokey.
Extra note, a few minutes later, another black cat appeared! A sibling? A clone? I may never know. At least not today…

Tonight, I achieved 100% completion on Crow Country (PS5). I had done a run last December in which I gathered all but the S rank trophy, requiring less than 10 heals, all crystal crows, and all secrets found. I sat down tonight and-after a few restarts-achieved the S rank in under 2 hours.
This marks my 8th platinum. Such a great game. Warm, nostalgic. I hope we get more PS2 styled projects like this!

Today was free comic book day! My local comic store celebrated with all the special releases and also had a BOGO sale on all graphic novels. There was also a local comic newsletter giving out free posters and bags!
My favorite pickups for my collection today were Batman: The Long Halloween, the free Godzilla issue, and the Sinners tote bag. Super cool. Long live physical media.
