Bookslump has hit hard today.
Ebook Roulette:
Ishtar's Blade by Lisa Blackwood. DNFed after 20%, the worldbuilding wasn't bad but I don't like the trope of wanting a married man.
299 ebooks to go

I wonder if folks would be interested in my Ebook roulette? I have almost 300 ebooks and I will randomly pick a book and give it to 20% to grab me. All indie books, with mentions of what I liked and didn’t like?

If I get a phantom of the opera inspired book, I want the phantom to be unhinged and ugly. I don’t love him because he’s a singer. I love him because his levels of drama and audacity outmatches his looks. Reading rant over

Got to hang out with some people in my local SCA group. Making tunics and talking about history, it was a great way to end the day.

Working on edits and I have to write a character based on how my mother treated my sister. After every few sentences I need a break. I really hope it hits for others.

Currently going through the worst part of being a Dungeon Master. One of my players can’t take criticism and it’s made my table hostile. So I have to be a councilor and get our next steps.

This week I’m slowly working on writing tasks. I am hoping to do one a day and not burn myself out.

Anemia is kicking my butt today. This might be a reading in bed sort of day.

My local library is something special. There was a puppet show, crafts, a summer reading program for kids and adults. I shouldn’t take this place for granted.

Perk of working at a game store. When the new Pokémon set comes out I can get in line with my favorite customers and we get to gossip about the set. Pulling a hyper rare from my ETB was icing on the cake.

Last night I did something I haven’t done since I was a teen. I read two books in 24 hours. Now I really want to do a 24 hour read-a-thon.

Last year I read ‘For the Wolf’ by Hannah Whitten. I loved it. A small feral child in me yearned for a book where the FMC becomes a monster. But sadly book 2 did NOT continue that dream and now I am pissed. The book has Dark Souls but romantasy energy.

Getting to the end of my ARC list. One book was meh, the other was closer to the kind of book I've been needing. Now I need to decide between randomly picking an ebook on my device, or see if I can find something through my library.

Being a picky reader is one half whispering promises into the void for a book to be good, and the other half wondering if you’ve gone mad.
I’m feeling like I’ve gone mad.

The first story I ever wrote was in kindergarten when we 'published' a book. My story was about growing a candy tree from M&Ms.
Writers of Bluesky:
What’s the first story you ever wrote?
Not the polished one. The awkward, messy, wild idea that lit the spark.
Mine involved cursed shadows and a creature only one kid could see.
I’ll show you mine if you show me yours.

I love going to my small library and the books I wanted were there! No waitlist, no hassle, this is why public libraries are amazing.

I’m in my favorite part of the Query trenches. Looking at agents and making my dream list and saying no to those I don’t think will fit.
Later they’ll reject me, but for me, it’s nice to dream.
