Homemade bruschetta, with canned San marzano tomatoes, and trying a few with pesto and a few with Parmesan.

Plate from Costco 😅
Six pieces of bruschetta on a paper plate, three with shredded parmesan, two with a base layer of pesto.

RC Joshua, I need you to answer for me crying at the wonderfully kind world you've made because our world is so, so far from it.

Why can we imagine such beauty and live here instead. 😭

Just finished Demon World Boba Shop Book 2 and I'm a mess.
The cover: A glass of blue boba tea with dark blue boba and a purple straw in the foreground with a dark haired white human man and a dark haired blue skinned water demon woman almost touching foreheads in the background. Author is R.C. Joshua and the title is Demon World Boba Shop Vol. 2 The whole image is in shades of blue with splashes of water and bobas coming from the central glass.

Read Books 3 in both He Who Fights with Monsters (titled Book 3) and Ice Planet Barbarians (titled Barbarian Lover)

Vastly different books but I'm still enjoying both series for their strengths. I did feel like I found more typos in HWFWM3 than in previous books.
I am intrigued where it goes next.
The cover of he who fights with monsters book 3 by Shirtaloon AKA Travis Deverell. A semi-impressionistic drawing of a waterfall originating from the middle of a giant floating structure. The structure itself is golden brown and contains multiple floating and glowing pieces within with a sort of floating eye shape of the same material in the middle. In the foreground to the right is a dark male figure holding a sword with a cloak that goes from black to a glowing blue standing on a rock. The background reveals this magical waterfall is pouring it on a canyon. The cover of Barbarian lover by Ruby Dixon and Ice Planet barbarians novel with a gold special edition sticker on it. In the foreground is a white woman with straight medium toned brown hair. Logan the audience with blue eyes and a silver device on her visible right ear. She's wearing A teal robe with lighter colored fur around her shoulders and is showing her clothed lower back and ass to the audience. In the background is a larger blue (alien) man with horns that barely appear at the top of the picture, wearing a darker cloak with fur around his shoulders and a tail tufted at the end wrapping around the woman into the foreground. Around them are sharp icy peaks and then the far background is a classic saucer style UFO.

Read House of Frank by Kay Synclaire.

Cozy but still sort of dark vibes? ✔️
House of chaotic found family? ✔️
Witch with secrets and tragedy in her past? ✔️

I really enjoyed this. I feel like I needed like a touch more of the broader world building, but if I'm honest it's a want not a need.
Cover of House of Frank by Kay Synclaire, featuring a 3.5-4 story white house with brown shingles standing in a field of grass. In the background is a green toned "greenhouse" looking arboretum, and a night sky in a rainbow of colors and a shooting star falling across it. In the foreground is the title in yellow, the "A" in Frank is stylized with horns on it looking a bit like a Shinto gate. There's a small wooden sign with an arrow pointing towards the house. The windows of the house are lit up from within in golden tones with occasional curtains and shadows visible within.

I had read Ice Planet Barbarians by Ruby Dixon a month ago and have now finished Book 2.

I understand why the joke is "started reading as a joke, woke up on book 9"

These are overall enjoyable smut/spice if you like your fated mates as Draenei/Na'vi/Tieflings. I'll probably keep reading them 😅
The special edition cover of Ice Planet Barbarians by Ruby Dixon. The cover features a white human woman with long brown hair wrapped in a blue fur robe, holding a silver gray spear in the foreground looking to the left. Behind her, with the top half of his face out of frame, is a large male blue alien, with long dark blue hair wearing a vest, whose tail wraps around the front of the woman. The scenery is snowy, white and mountainous and in the far background there is a classic saucer style UFO. The special edition cover of Barbarian Alien by Ruby Dixon. The cover features a white blonde human woman in the foreground with a purple fur robe wrapped around her. She's holding a bow and has a quiver on her back. Behind her is a tall blue-skinned alien with one broken horn and long black hair wearing a fur vest. His tail is wrapped around the front of her and is tufted with black hair as well. The background is white, snowy and mountainous and has a classic saucer style UFO in the far distance.

Just finished Demon World Boba Shop Vol.1

I wanted cozy this week and I got it! Arthur is a human who in his "you get a second chance to live in a LitRPG" moment asks for something nice.

He ends up as a human on a "demon" world where everyone takes care of each other as duty and he can grow. 💜
The cover of Demon World Boba Shop Vol. 1. On the cover is Arthur, a white human male with shaggy short brown hair who is ladling tea leaves into a clay vessel while looking at a blue skinned, pointed eared female "water demon" who is leaning on the counter, chin in her hand watching Arthur. She's blushing and wearing a white tank top, and has long white hair. Around them in the shop are glass straws, various glass containers, a bowl of flour and some plants. It's cozy vibes.

Read the first two He Who Fights With Monsters by Shirtaloon and have genuinely been enjoying them!

I'm a relative newbie to the LitRPG world (been reading them for a few months) and these are excellent examples of the genre. Jason is relatable and I enjoy following him and his friends around.
The cover of He Who Fights With Monsters, book 1 by Shirtaloon AKA Travis Deverell The cover features a silhouetted figure who is wearing a cloak made of star light and space. The figure looks at a landscape that contains ruins, grass and a lake and often the distance, a White City that fades into the clouds. The cover of He Who Fights With Monsters, book 2 by Shirtaloon AKA The cover features a silhouetted figure who is wearing a shimmering cloak. The figure looks at a dark purple landscape facing a lake and a pink unusual shaped building in the distance with a bridge-like structure coming off one side.

I'm not good at fashion or captioning y'all so I'm sorry if my comments weren't helpful
Six examples of unusual knots tied into The very brightly colored ties on white shirts. The effect makes the ties look unreal and I do not know if these are AI. None of them are particularly appealing and all of them look very difficult to achieve. The top left overlaps In a way that gives the impression of a braid, The top middle has three parts of the tie come to a point in the middle. The top right almost looks like a rose tilted to the right. The bottom left is bright pink and has a center section that is framed by two sets of overlapping wings which commenters agree is quite suggestive. The bottom middle looks like the knot of the tie is wearing a second knot on top of it or almost as if a fish's mouth is holding the rest of the knot of the tie and it. And the final one is four sections meeting in the middle. Looking a bit like an round origami project.

Jesse Watters, a political commentator, wearing a dark blue suit, white shirt with a red tie with a diagonal white stripe. The tie is tied in the fatter windsor knot. The white shirt has a cutaway collar which cuts straight across. He has an earpiece and microphone. A photo of Roger Stone wearing a plaid patterned gray suit with a light blue shirt with a cutaway collar and a black tie with what appears to be a thinner knot. He is making a noticeably odd expression that is about half a smile and half biting your bottom lip and looks uncomfortable regardless.

In contrast to the other pictures in this thread the suit jacket and pants do not appear to be well fitting.

A black and white photo of Prince Philip from the 1950s. It is difficult to tell what color his clothes are due to the photo, but the knot in his tie is a slimmer one in line with the four in hand not mentioned throughout.
