Hi, I'm Jennifer in Phoenix. I've been LT since 2008 and my 17th Thingaversary is in March. I can be found at the 75 Challenge and ROOTs group too.
I live with husband Mike and Boxer, Coral. I have collections of books about punk/metal/bubblegum pop, the sea and shipwrecks, travel and horror. I'm in Vegas to see my family several times a year, and we go to tiki bars and the annual Tiki Oasis.
I also write a Substack, Autumn Lives Here, that is all horror, true crime and Halloween. It isn't as scary as it sounds. Every other Tuesday is free, so drop by. https://jennifermorrow.substack.com/
And now, the categories.

Wow, those cakes are quite elaborate and some quite crrreeepppyyy! Welcome to 2025.

Good to see you are back for 2025, Jennifer! Your cakes might be delicious, but I'll control myself :)

Oh my, the cakes are amazing! The bee one - wow.
Just an aside question, have you ever been to the clown motel and museum in Tonopah, Nevada? There is an online shop here in Australia called Hallozween where I get my candles and such and they did an article on it. It looks fantastic, in a creepy clown way.
Enjoy your reading in 2025.

>12 LadyoftheLodge: Thanks! I know, I had to find cakes that fit the topic and I think I nailed it. Happy reading in 2025!
>13 VivienneR: Thank you! Someday we will be able to reach through the screen and grab a bite...
>14 JayneCM: Isn't that bee cake incredible? That's why it represents "fiction", because they look so real.
I do know of the clown motel and did a piece about it about a year and a half ago on my creepy Substack. Here's the link if you want to have a look: https://substack.com/@jennifermorrow/p-108381665
Happy reading to you in 2025!

Wow those cakes look amazing.

>16 mstrust: I thought you might have been there. I like creepy but I could not actually sleep in a room with Pennywise's face on the wall! Love your article - and I did not know that about Keith Moon either. What a horrific thing to happen.

Dropping my star and ready to follow along for another year.

>17 lowelibrary: Yes they do!
>18 majkia: Thank you! I'd offer you a slice, but...
>19 JayneCM: I've never visited, but I would. I just don't think Mike would be willing. He isn't into horror at all :-D
Thanks for reading! Yep, the Keith Moon accident wasn't as big a story back then as you'd expect, possibly because he was so devastated by his part.
>20 DeltaQueen50: Hooray! Good to see you, Judy!

I didn't know about the Keith Moon story either. I'll have to run this by my Pop Culture encyclopedia of a daughter-in-law. She continues to surprise me with her knowledge. Bet this one will be a test.

That's quite a collection of off-putting cakes. >8 mstrust: and >9 mstrust: look normal, but are they really? Happy reading.
24mstrust
>22 VivienneR: It's a deep dive, for sure!
>23 pamelad: Off-putting? Why, I'd massacre every one of them, even the clown who looks like he'd put up a fight. But put the word "cake" with about anything and I'll have a look. I even enjoy cold fish cakes.

>24 mstrust: I’d definitely eat that noir cake! But killer clown? I’d have to slice his face off first, I think. And the bee cake—have you read Plain Bad Heroines?
26mstrust
I haven't read that one and I suspect there's a horrible bee-centric death. Do you recommend it?
27Charon07
>26 mstrust: No, I can’t really recommend it myself. There was some fantastic spooky gothic buildup, but I thought it failed to deliver. But the yellow jackets (not actually bees) were plenty creepy!
29MissWatson
That carrot cake made me smile, thank you for that! Happy reading and eating!
30mstrust
I usually ignore carrot cake, but that one is beautiful and I really like those realistic carrots!

Those are some great cakes. I'm feeling stuffed just looking at them. Hope your reading year is great.
34mstrust
It's pretty much a list of cakes that have m saying, "no, couldn't do that, couldn't do that..."

What a great cake collection, Jennifer! I particularly like the very top one, with the cactus :-) Happy reading when we get there!
36mstrust
I really like the trend of succulent cakes, particularly as my front yard and porch are covered in cactus and succulents.
Happy reading in 2025 to you!

Happy new year! Those cakes look amazing. I'm looking forward to seeing what you read for ScaredyKIT next year. I already have some books picked out, so I'm hoping I'll actually participate more in 2025.
