Today only, the #1 New York Times fantasy best-seller "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up" is $2.99 on Kindle. Japanese cleaning wizard Marie Kondo takes tidying to a whole new level, promising that if you properly simplify and organize your realm once, you’ll never have to do it again. Most methods advocate a room-by-room or little-by-little approach, which dooms you to picking at piles of stuff forever. The KonMari Method, with its category-by-category magical system, leads to everlasting happiness.

Dead Things by Stephen Blackmoore is the first book in the L.A. necromancer series discussed briefly in the podcast. I went to Amazon and it turns out I bought a copy in 2016 when it was on sale. This kind of serendipity is happening more frequently, the longer I'm involved in S+L. That's what happens when you spend too much time in the Kindle sale thread.

The rules...
Predict each Game of Thrones character's fate and whether they’ll live or die on their possible journey to the Iron Throne. For every episode where you accurately guess whether a character will live (L) or die (D), you earn 5 points. If you correctly predict who will end up on the Iron Throne, you earn 100 points. The person(s) with the highest total number of points at the end of the season wins.
But that's not all. There are also a few bonus questions where you can pick up extra points if you correctly guess things like how many dragons survive or how much wine Cersei drinks.
Yes, my bad. This was S+L clickbait. Always check for accent marks in the thread title. ;-)

S+L viewing for the weekend...https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/deep-cu...
Two Spanish-language horror films were released in 2017, featuring a predominantly female cast, both named Verónica and both of which are currently streaming on Netflix. One of them has been much-touted as one of the scariest movies of all time, so allegedly terrifying that Netflix viewers are turning it off midway through.
