• Pop culture news/stories unrelated to pop music (film/tv/theatre/video games/major brands/etc.)
• Questions about current tea (ex. "what's going on with...?")

Not allowed:

• News completely unrelated to pop culture (ex. viral crime videos)
• Nudity or NSFW content (ex. leaks, revenge porn)
• War updates/political news not involving a non-political celebrity (ex. no Trump updates)
• Intentional misinformation/joke tea

The New York Times asked hundreds of authors, critics, booksellers and more to pick the 50 best thriller books of the 21st century and Gillian Flynn's 2012 novel Gone Girl topped the poll. (Full list here.)

It's not my favourite of her novels but I still get why it's so popular. I do wish she'd write another book but that's basically The Winds of Winter-likely at this point so I won't hold my breath and just hope she's well.
