Longest on my TBR pile by association. I bought the sequels and then spent a decade hunting down the first few books in the series. Adolf - Tale of the Twnentieth Century by Osamu Tezuka is a chilling fictionalized tale of the rise of authoritarianism and hatred in Germany and Japan in the 1930s.
A 2025 Reading Challenge chart. Each month has a slot to place a book cover and a theme. January to October have book covers placed in the slots. The book covers are: Bury Your Gays - Chuck Tingle The Gospel of Breaking - Jillian Christmas A collage of covers from Ms Marvel and Wonder Twins by Marvel and DC respectively Eastside Hedge Witch by T.J.

I've been trying to detemine why I felt Taehyung's Celine outfit was so appropriate... and then I realized it's because it's a revival of 1920s/1930s style, just like our current political landscape is. Unlike the politics though, I love seeing the fashion come back and worn by AWESOME people.
V of BTS strides happily down the street wearing a long brown coat with wide shoulders and a trimming silhouette. Under the coat, he wears a white shirt with a high colar and leapard print silk tie. He has grey/brown slacks and black shoes. Behind him are 3 bodyguards, in black suits. One has a long trench open coat, the other no jacket, and the third a light grey medium-length trench that's done up. In the upper right corner of the photo is a GQ watermark.

A few days late, but done my book for Sep. To fit the HYYH theme, I chose a novel about a gay teen with superpowers. It's been in my TBR pile since 2017. It was OK. I'm just personally over the coming-of-age/coming-out genre, but the rest of it was fun - tropey, but enough twists to compensate.
A reading challenge where the year is broken into 12 slots that one can paste book covers into. Each month slot has a theme. January through September have book covers pasted onto them.

Sometimes you make something just to see if you can...
This is my latest quilting creation. A quilted robe! It turned out pretty well! The goal was practice and learning and I'm pleased with the results.
A close-up photo of the chest as I lean over to adjust the camera. It's a clear image of the front large quilting panels of a fall leaf themed robe. The leaves are in red and orange on backgrounds of different shades of yellow, and each lead has a dark purple/maroon stem. The quilt edge is also bound in the dark maroon. Modeling the quilted robe by standing in a t-shape. The robe has sleeves that go to the elbow and the length stops at the upper thigh. The robe is a fall leaf theme in oranges, reds, and yellows, with the leaf stems and edging done in dark maroon.

Back with August's books for the book challenge. I read Vol. 6-7 of Cat+Gamer, which is a very cute manga series about a gamer who ends up adopting a cat and basically game-ifies cat-ownership. It's a cute fluffy quick read.
A 2025 Book Challenge chart with a slot for a book cover and a theme for each month. January to August are filled. August's theme is "a translated book" and shows the cover of Cat+Gamer 6.

Yes, it's the end of August and I'm only just now posting my July book (Around the World on Minimum Wage), but that will tell you a little about my review. Done in purposeful style. It's mostly about the stupid shit you could do if you were a white guy in the 1970s/80s. Not really a book for me.
A 2025 reading challenge, with slots to insert a book cover for each month of the year. Each month has a different theme listed. The book covers for January through to July have been inserted. July's book is Around the World on Minimum Wage by Andrew Struthers.

Playing with my antique sewing machine and some antique alternative presser foots that I found at flea market. I think with my current skills, I'll only use the zigzag foot if I want to decorate with an irregular ekg motif.
A row of horizontal white zigzag stitches on dark scrap material. The zigzags are irregular and sometimes "flatline".

I finished my book for June! This month I chose Toward Eternity by Anton Hur. A phenominal sci-fi book. It was what I wanted my philosophy of language class to be in uni (rather than boring). A great meditation on humanity, language, music, art, love, and life in the universe.
A reading challenge graphic with three rows and four columns making up 12 slots for each month of the year. Each slot is labeled with a month and a theme. January to June have covers added to the slots, indicating that that month challenge goal has been acheived.

If anyone is interested in crochet and wants to support a poor person (me!) - I just posted my pattern for the Jack in the Box inspired scarf that I made to celebrate j-hope's recent tour: www.etsy.com/ca/listing/4...
A pink and black checkered scarf warn by someone in a white t-shirt. The pink and black pattern ends just below the ribcage and then it becomes simply a black open checker pattern. A pink and black checkered scarf folded on a white table. At the ends, the pink stops and it becomes a black open checkered pattern.

🧑:"Can you explain the gap in your resume"
Me: "Check out this custom model recreation that I made of my late aunt's 1967 Barracuda!"
A model car sits on a piece of furniture that has been wallpapered in a night sky pattern. The car is copper-coloured with chrome bumper, front plate, lights, and hubcaps. The car is a two door chevy barracuda with a front bench seat just visible throught he plastic "glass" front windshield. It has silver door hands and gascap visible along the drivers side. Behind the car, on the wall, you can see the corner of an art scroll hanging as well.

My May book for the challenge (something that takes place in a forest or on an island) was Lumberjanes to the Max vol. 2 - issues 9-17 of the Lumberjanes comics. I bought it probably back in 2018, and it got buried at the very bottom of my TBR pile. A GOOD FUN PRETERNATURAL TIME IN THE FOREST!
A 2025 Reading Challenge image made by @BTSbookclub. The months are listed with blank spaces underneath to insert the cover of the book you read that month. January-May are filled in with covers. They are in order: Bury Your Gays by Chuck Tingle, The Gospel of Breaking by Jillian Christmas, Ms Marvel and the Wonder Twins comics in a mosaic of 4 covers, Eastside Hedge Witch by T.J.

I'm going solo photoshoots on this one and have 2:
1. Yoongi - just felt cute and somehow that meant going to a friend's place to cover himself in fine threads and flowers?
2. I know it's "just a JK Calvin Klein ad" -but I have a type, and that type is androgynous babygirl
#BTS #MeetMeAtTheMagicShop
Yoongi from the chest up in front of peach coloured background. He is turned on an angle to the left. His long hair is slicked back and tucked behind his ears to drape down his neck. He has his eyes closed. Surrounding his head are fine pink strings in a complicated intricate halo that goes down past his shoulders and disappeares below frame. Scattered towards the bottom of the pink threads are three or for small daisy flowers. Jungkook in a black and white photo. He's wearing black denim jeans and a black denim jacket with large silver buttons. He's wearing a black skin-tight croptop that exposes his toned stomach and belly button. Around his neck is a loose skinny scarf/tie, as well as a fine silver necklace that sits tighter to the throat. He has his left hand tucked on a hip, cocking his right hip out slightly while dropping his right shoulder. His hair is cut in a very very cute bob with bangs, and we can see one silver hoop earing on his left ear. He has a subtle lip ring on the right side of his mouth. He is also wearing lightly smoky eyeshadow.

Having a bad day, so let's all look at Yoongi.
SUGA of BTS leaning the side of his head against a marple wall with his left hand by his face. He is looking over his hand to the left at the photographer. He is wearing a brown corderoy suit and has a small hoop earing in his left ear. His hair is a tossled light brown. His lips are slightly open. In the foreground, a white blurry piece of curtain blocks the lower left corner of the portait, hiding the majority of his left arm and his chin from view. This photo was taken by Jin during a Run BTS episode in which they did a homemade fashion photoshoot.

Take the fictional characters quiz and post the first four you know:
Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice. She is holding a book and has her hair pulled back. She is wearing a brown scoop neck shirt. She is looking forward into the middle distance. Ola Nyman from the show Sex Education. She has short curly hair and a nose ring. Kat Stratford from the movie 10 Things I Hate About You. She looks very unimpressed. Baby from the movie Baby Driver. He has a faint scar on his cheek and looks like he's had better days.

Finished my April book just in time! "A purple book" was Eastside Hedge Witch by TJ Deschamps. A very fun urban fantasy book/series with an adult protagonist.

Alright, I'm sick of politics, AI, and the world going to shit... here's a photo of Yoongi in a skirt to make myself feel better.
A black and white photo of Suga of BTS. He is wearing a black sweater that says LV in white on it, with 00 on the sleeve and white stripes at the elbows, a black belt with a silver looking buckle, and a long black skirt. Below the skirt, you can see he has some sort of pants on, and big black boots. He is slightly blurry with movement as though he just twirled.

Completed March reading challenge! I used the "school era" theme to read comics that feature teenage heroes in high school. First two vol. of Ms. Marvel and Mark Russell's 12 issues of Wonder Twins. Wonder Twins was by far my favourite, but I already knew I loved Mark Russell's writing going in.
A 2025 Reading Challenge board with the first 3 months filled in with book covers. January has Bury Your Gays by Chuck Tingle. February has The Gospel of Breaking by Jillian Christmas. March has four covers of comic books - the first two volumes of Ms. Marvel and the two volumes of Wonder Twins.

If you see this, quote this with the energy you bring to BlueSky.
A screenshot of SUGA and j-hope on a livestream covering their faces with their hands and looking down. Text reads "DiSOPEpointed but not SOPErised." Namjoon in a business-suit in an office looking like he is falling asleep. Fanart of Yoongi giving a thumbs up. He has a facemask tucked below his chin, a hat on, and an FG sweatshirt. The text reads "i think u are doing ok." A persion cat with it's head tilted back and it's mouth open, superimposed on the sky over a mountain range. The text is an exaggerated call of "Yoongi". The cat is wearing a cowboy hat.

Post your favorite Doctor Who, wrong answers only
In a black and white photo, Suga of BTS poses in a black victorian-looking wool suit with a white shirt with ruffled ascot. He has his hands clasped in his lap, and looks off to his right, with his long hair parted on the right, tucked and curling behind his ear and down his neck.

I've been trying to think of something great to post on Yoongi's birthday, and as a result have not posted anything, so, let's just look at and appreciate Yoongi:
Min Yoongi aka Suga aka Agust D in the style and outfit he wore for the promotion and merchandise photoshoot for his D-Day tour in 2023. He is wearing a leather jacket, a white graphic t-shit, and has long hair that grazes his shoulders.

I made a quilted woven shoulder bag out of the fabric left over from my quilting project. T'was fun and I learned things, but it will definitely be a one time project.
The side of the bag showing woven strips of quilted fabric. There are three different fabrics but they all are black with star, constellation, or a simple gold swirl decoration. A photo of the inside of the bag, which is lined with just one fabric. Black with a gold swirl pattern that is accented with dull grey swirls as well. The bag does up with a zipper.

Silverlinings of flying across the country to attend a funeral and cry all weekend - I had time to read my January book on the way back. I don't know if BTS Book Club has migrated to BlueSky yet, but TA-DA:
A reading challenge by BTSBookClub_TWT in which there is slot for each month of the year with a different theme. The image shows that I have successfully read a book for January, showing the cover of Bury Your Gays by Chuck Tingle in the January slot.
