Currently reading The Blacktongue Thief so right now I'm having weird D&D campaign vibes. So far... the worldbuilding is interesting, but pretty involved, I'm liking the background history. It makes the world feel pretty big, but there's tiny sociological-stuff that I'm not quite following along with yet.
The only part I don't like is the dialogue. I like a lot of talk in books generally, especially if characters are supposed to be smart. But everyone seems a little too good at stringing together lyrics off the cuff. Now. I'm witty and quippy, and I roll alliterations off with no problem pretty often and I'm properly passable at puns. But I can't pull off half of the dialogue in this book as natural.
So it's slightly overwritten in that regard, and the talk feels just at touch scripted. It might get better as I read along. But the world and plot are carrying it so far.

still reeling from the idiot by doesdoevsky or whatever his name is. thinking about brothers karazamov next but i think i want a break from st petersberg antics, sick of imagining cobbles. Gonna start reading Ubik now i think, does anyone else use goodreads?
After trying five separate bookstores with it being sold out in each, my order for Iron Widow has finally arrived today, so once I pick it up I'll be reading it asap! Super excited.
Last month I burned through Fire and Blood in like two days. I have mixed feels over it, but I think it was just the narrative style.
rabid artist and writer
nerd of many fandoms
Game of thrones second book
Finally picked up The First Law trilogy! Excited to get into it :k
Just finished reading Project Hail Mary from Andy Weir! I was extremely pleased and Weir has a special talent for making very technical stuff super interesting.
I got a bunch of books for Christmas and my B-Day so I have a looooong list books pending and I'm hella excited
I just staretd Imaginary Friend by Stephen Chbosky and after that IDK if I should go with Ursula K. Le Guin or Isabel Allende. But yeps, off to read!
There is no trash cannot, only
TRASH CAN
Special thanks tolyrichord for the amazing userbar avatar &honeycomb for the cutest drawing!
I just finished The Chemist by Stephanie Meyer (Twilight author lol). The book started very well and was super intriguing but then started (not a real spoiler but I'm pointing out a direction it went towards)
Right after that, I dived into Lisa Gardner's Look for Me, which was so good I finished in a few days! The strong female protagonists that's been through some shit was a real nice read for someone who's currently struggling with life. It also touched upon the foster care system which I'm super interested in. In the end, I couldn't figure out who did it after all the clues, but I enjoyed the book. Will probably get more Lisa Gardner books in the future!
I managed to find Alice Sebold (author of Lovely Bones)'s The Almost Moon at a sale price so I'm reading that right now. The first few pages is about so I already connected with it, even though I'm only a couple chapters in... Can't wait to see what happens.
I currently started re-reading Harry Potter again. However, this time it is turning into a night time routine of reading a chapter out loud to my kiddo before bed. Hoping they enjoy them as much as I did!
