1.1 What we’re about to do will be perilous
(The first book in a series)

Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman. My first foray into LitRPG, and I'm not sure about it. It was fun, but the middle was roo much exposition for me. Maybe it's just me though.

#OFMDReadingChallenge

Episode 1.1 has been added to the graphic, Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinneman.

AO3 was wild during that timeline.

I started it last night, not too far in, but I mention to the gf that if I like it as much as everyone says I will, I'll be getting the entire series.

1.7 My teeth keep falling out, is that normal?
(A book with an orange cover)

Lolly Willowes by Sylvia Townsend Warner, because whomst among us has not wanted to run away to the woods and become a witch? An early piece of feminist literature that made me feel all toasty inside.

Added the cover of Lolly Willowes to episode 1.7. The cover is orange with dark leaf patterns on it.

2.2 We're tender as hell
(A book featuring queer characters)

Running Close to the Wind by Alexandra Rowland. The main character could have been annoying, but it's so superbly written that he's completely lovable. Very fun book!

#OFMDReadingChallenge

The OFMD Reading Challenge progress. Black book with a skull on the cover for each unfinished Challenge. New book is episode 2.2, Running Close to the Wind by Alexandra Rowland, a teal book cover woth silhouettes for three people, an octopus, and tentacles.

2.5 A safe space ship
(A science fiction book or a book set on a ship.)

The Mercy of Gods by James S. A. Corey. A group of humans are kidnapped from one foreign world and taken to another. Some excellent psychological analysis in this.

#OFMDReadingChallenge

Episode 1.4 has the cover of Raptor Red by Rober Bakker, featuring a large and smaller Utah raptor in silhouette against a setting sun. Episode 2.5 has the cover of The Mercy of Gods by James S. A.

Made to Measure Ed is picking out which show the high school is going to perform for the winter musical. He tries not to show Louis any favoritism, but its hard. Stede is pacing in the shop, terribly nervous over Alma starting her first semester at Cornell.

So they go home and "watch" the Mummy.

I am fucking devastated.

Only David can say "Don't cry" and reduce me to a puddle of tears at work.

Will someone PLEASE bring this show back? Just one season, just one miracle.

So if someone wanted to pick us up in the next couple of years we'd still be on track...”

My coworker got me this sticker over the weekend, because I have a problem* that manifests in talking about #OFMD on the regular.

(*not convinced it's a problem)

Sticker of a person looking angsty, surrounded by the words "I can be trusted with fictional pirates."
