I really hope so!! Cuz I'm not ready to leave this world 🪴🍷🩸 Thanks again for the rec. I had a great time!

True true! I finished the book and it ended up being 4.25/5 because of the political message. My longer review is here: app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/c455...

Yeah the quality of world building really varies, and this book is up there so far!
ALSO it's getting gay & I'm so invested.

30% in and the world is so much bigger than I'd expected. The world-building is really well done. I don't ever feel like the author is pausing the plot to explain things to me. This whole book is so neurodivergent im dying lol

Big fan of the banter (and narratio) and the scary plant stuff so far ✨️

고마워!!! The Tainted Cup 듣는 중 🍷🍷🍷

The second story in Shubeik Lubeik destroyed me. It was the best representation of depression I had ever seen, done with so much nuance and heart. Need to muster up the courage to read the next part. I know it'll be 5 stars.

The Assassin's Apprentice is another story. It was an easy 5-stars but an emotionally difficult read. So captivating and intriguing and profound at times. A damn good story with great prose and characters I care too much about.

I've finished Equal Rights and Phoenix Extravagant, which were both around 3.5 stars. There were elements I loved and not any to really dislike -- just wasn't that engaging or beautiful. They were pretty good books that succeeded in their respective projects.

I have hit "deliver later" on my Libby hold for Detransition Baby more than once 😭 It's been on my list forever! I'll report back soon

Off to a 🧙🏼‍♀️ witchy vibe 🔮 with (1) Equal Rites by Terry Pratchett and (2) Siren Queen by Nghi Vo. I opened up (3) Shubeik Lubeik by Deena Mohamed last night and devoured the first chapter. Unintended shared theme seems to be eerie-yet-mundane magic set against the realism of oppression(s).

I mean I am constantly collecting content recs from all my friends & the number of people who have watched/read Nimona without calling me immediately is alarming!

I'll have to seek your wisdom and expertise more often

Why did nobody tell my queer ass to watch this sooner
