Mysterious Galaxy’s annual summer bingo is in full swing and we are getting ready to throwdown!  Smack went to StokerCon and spent some time cat-sitting for Gabi by the beach, during which she read quite the spread of bingo books.  Highlights included an excellent historical horror novel about a Black woman with a mysterious trunk trying to survive in rural Montana, a Goose Girl retelling that perfectly blends fairy tale and horror, and a memoir about a woman’s journey dealing with Complex PTSD that made Smack’s list of best books of the year.  Meanwhile, Gabi details her mission to hunt down a title and author that she can’t remember from an old book that she didn’t even like and shares fun facts about deep sea beasties.  We close with a classic ITBR PSA, this time about taking heat seriously this summer - drink water and make smart choices!
