Can someone please make these bracelets, but Qwirkle shapes?
A forearm displaying multiple bracelets with a 5-petal clover type design in different colors. It is similar to one of the tile shapes in the game Qwirkle.

Book finished. Fantastic. 5 ⭐️. Reviewed.
My review on Goodreads, which says: I think it says something that I read these over 300 pages in 48 hours. I literally couldn't put the book down. The stories flow between characters and are just so authentic and heartfelt. And at least three places I stopped and just cried. On a separate note, you know how you're watching a movie or TV show and they're trying to show you what it's like when someone is high on mushrooms, and they play with the light and sound and camera work? Like, you're not actually gonna see what it's like to be high, but maybe it'll give you some vague idea of the thing? I feel like the authors use of first person, second person, and third person narrative in different parts of the novel, and the transitions related to that, did exactly that in such a wonderful way. Such a high recommendation for me, this book. Favorite of the year.

Once finding out about this, I have to say it was really pleasant and easy being able to order a story game from my local bookstore. Excited to play Oh Captain, My Captain.

Double feature with @emilystjams.bsky.social new book Woodworking!

This is from Our Universe which also had some great old school alien building.

Reminds me so much of the old AD&D Coloring book of the 80s in all the best ways! Your map is so fantastic, I could stare at that for hours.

Those book spinner racks that always held softbacks; the one with the fantasy and sci-fi. When I see specific old cover art from that time it always takes me back to that room.
The cover of an old edition of A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula Le Guin. Shows a snake like dragon wrapped around a castle on top of the sea.
