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)

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
Tragedy of my life that I cannot watch this until I get home today
And lo, the trailer did drop: www.apple.com/tv-pr/news/2... #murderbot

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.

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
