Favorite reads of 2025, so far! I'm actually pretty bad about staying up to date with upcoming releases, but I'm very excited for Alecto the Ninth. I've also been slowly cranking through the Guards! Discworld series, which has provided some much-needed levity. #revpitwaiting

I don't think I've been to a single marathon or other race where there wasn't a panic right before the start due to a lack of bathrooms available at the start line. Can we fix that problem with basic math?

Wildcard day! I always love a good tavern, and I was particularly proud about the pun-y name for this one. #RevPitWaiting

shoutout to my partner for immediately rising to the occasion and generating some meme material 😌 the only thing I ask from him as a beta reader, truly. #RevPitWaiting

These two idiots always make me laugh, but especially when they're faced with the horrible realities of their Isle's politics. #RevPit #RevPitWaiting

Okay this is my time to shine bc I literally have a playlist for like half the main cast, along with a representative image/quote that I think captures their vibe. 😅 #RevPitWaiting

Kind of a long one, but wanted to find something that captured some main themes and some character development!

I've loved seeing all the #RevPitWaiting posts! Here's a moodboard for my submission; other, more abstract vibes include:

🏋️ The crushing weight of repressed memories
🏛️ Overcoming legacies of flawed institutions
👯 They would die for each other, platonically
⁉️ Idiots but in opposite directions

Hi #revpitwaiting! I'm Annika, an aerospace engineer by day, hobby endurance athlete, and enjoyer of all things SF/fantasy. My #revpit sub is a fantasy adventure about a cocky aeronaut and an anxious magician who are forced to work together on a diplomatic mission across some sky islands.
Hi #revpit!

This is a totally community-made game that I thought might be fun while we’re waiting!

I’ll post more explanations every day which you can QT if you’d like. Maybe we can make some long-lasting book friends on the way and keep company while #revpitwaiting!
