Final Girls Berlin Halloween 2023 Program

AAAAAAAAAh!

The program for the Halloween Special of Final Girls Berlin* has been published, and I will definitely sell my Blixa tickets, sorry, because not only do the shorts start at 7pm, the feature film is American Psycho at 9pm and I don't want to miss any of it. I might as well take the next day off while I'm at it, hah. So here's the shorts selection for Tuesday October 31, 7pm/19.00h - texts taken from the FGBFF newsletter:

Straightening Up the TBR and Other Exciting Things

  The world keeps on turning and once again the nicer time of the year has arrived; the warm time. At least hopefully, because in this part of the world you never know - Remember last summer? And again, I have been merrily taking and taking review copies of books, and reached the point where they have accumulated to a degree that I'm about to lose track, but haven't quite yet. I am at a point where I need to straighten up the tbr pile - make a priority list so that no important book gets left out, but also make sure my personal goals, group reads, buddy reads and challenges are fulfilled too.
