Ttrpg, SFF genre nonsense, Arthuriana, yarn. Might read books.
I’ve been reminded that bluesky exists so I’m here to finally report on Swordcrossed (Freya Marske) for the 🌶️📚💙 crowd.

It was fun! I had fun!! It was sweet and sexy and I enjoyed hanging out w everyone in it enough to forgive some philosophically nonsensical underpinnings. Problem w the end (1/2)

“I’m a murderbot, I don’t give a crap about boats”

I would die for Murderbot 💙📚🪐

Update I took a lunch break and closed my door and I’m OBSESSED. The tone is impeccable. The vibes are exact. (It has been pointed out to me that it is in fact precisely my brand of energy and I’m being predictable by losing my mind.) (What can I say I have good taste.) I’m SO excited #murderbot

Murderbot the TV Show’s one job is to be a tv show that Murderbot the character wishes it could watch 💙📚🪐

Murderbot my beloved please. I do not have the emotional fortitude to relate to you tonight. And yet 🪐📚💙

I have ruminated on my prev post and found myself willing to broaden out to any book that ends in a disastrous wedding. #booksky 💙📚 (& 💙📚🌶️ & 💙📚🪐 etc): ruined wedding finales? Taking recs to scratch an itch.

help #booksky 💙📚🪐📚🌶️💙 I’m iso satisfying romance novel that starts with promise of a marriage that shouldn’t happen (between characters who are not and never will be romantic leads) and ends with a messy emotionally fraught trainwreck wedding that is utterly RUINED. Preferably queer and fantasy

Next up we have Swordcrossed by Freya Marske read by Omari Douglas, which nobody told me was going to have a large spinning/weaving component and honestly I’m feeling so targeted right now 📚💙

Turns out I do need somewhere more robust than storygraph to put my book opinions (outbursts), so #booksky 📚💙 here we go. I finished Gwen & Art Are Not In Love. This is gonna be a thread.

Have now read three books in a row with heavy in-universe focus on red hair, ranging from negative (My Lady Jane) to neutral (Gwen & Art Are Not In Love) to horny (Swordcrossed). Am going to write an essay ig 📚💙🌶️

Oh my god and also I read a Murderbot. How have I not mentioned Murderbot. All Systems Red was a gem and a joy in a year when I’ve otherwise mostly read duds I’d recommend it rabidly except I think I’m the last person I know the party. 1000/10. Please would my book 2 lib hold come up already 💙📚🪐

Kai would have loved to, if only dramatic things would stop happening to him.”

…point being, I’m really enjoying Witch King by Martha Wells 💙📚🪐

Hi you're through to my voicemail, please do your best seagull impression after the tone and I'll only call you back if it's funny enough

In a deviation from bookskying and into 🎮 territory, I have been talked into playing Oxenfree, which is very fun and totally my jam but does keep resisting my attempts to steer things into fraught toxic lesbian romance territory
