Books

[philstar22]

What book are you currently reading? or what was the last book you read?

I have started reading The Rage of Dragons.

Re: Books

[(Anonymous)]

It is the time of year where I have to read that book. It is a tradition.

Now, altogether now.

Marley was dead, to begin with.

Just read Little People Big Dreams editions for Taylor Swift and Anna Pawlowa before wrapping them, lol. My niece is getting them for Christmas.

I'm kind of sad that she'll be too old for this series soon. I really like the idea of those books and find it fascinating which books resonate with her and which don't.

I gave up on Ghost Story and am now finishing the year with The Ballad of Black Tom.

Re: Books

The Teller of Small Fortunes by Julie Leong. I've just started it so no real opinions yet.

Before that was The Lies of the Ajungo by Moses Ose Utomi. Really interesting little novella and I am eagerly awaiting the sequel to be available at the library.

Still reading Prey (page 342 of 504) but I am finally off work for a week and will hopefully have my car back from the mechanics on monday woo!

Last book was A Cold Nose for Murder by Jennifer Hawkins. It's the third book in the series and if you like cozy mysteries and a talking corgi, you will enjoy it!

Pride and Prejudice, 10/10 can recommend.

Player of Games

[(Anonymous)]

Just started Player of Games by Ian Banks because of The Culture secrets here on F!s.

It uh, it fucking rules. There's a guy who's just *really* good at playing board games and card games and he's having some angst about feeling unfulfilled. It's like, what if everything but the very tip of maslow's hierarchy of needs was filled in but you still are looking for something? I know plot is going to happen, and I dig the humor, but I just really like how unambiguously cool and nice the Culture is.

Also it's fun to read while I'm hip deep in 40k. Like, it's the DAOT over here absolutely having a blast.

I'm currently reading two. Pray for Him by Tyler Battaglia, which is...okay, I guess, but I'm at 47%, and it's not really what I was expecting, at least so far, but hopefully it'll get better later? I'm intrigued enough to keep reading and find out where it goes, though, so at least that's something, I guess.

And The Lost Story by Meg Shaffer which is really good so far. I have some theories that I'm pretty sure will be wrong, but I have a feeling that whatever happens, I'm going to love it.

Started Mr. Mercedes today, AND one of Ellen Datlow's best horror short story anthologies.

Last book I finished was Mexican Gothic, which I adored.

Secrets you don't want to make...

[(Anonymous)]

... but you wouldn't mind if someone else made them for you! As always, including the fandom and full character names is a big help, and while I'm definitely not the world's greatest expert at secret design, I'll try my best. Please note that long comment secrets can be difficult to make with a good end result. Most of the time, I'll give it a shot but might not be able to make secrets where the text is so lengthy that I can't fit it into the limited space.

I'll monitor this thread until tomorrow's secret post goes up, so feel free to leave your comments until then!

P.S. Please don't worry if you've submitted a secret and it hasn't been posted yet. I usually post these threads before running out of the previous batch of secrets to get a head start on the next batch.

I still want a sequel series to American Gothic. It has only been thirty years, coming September, there is still hope. Right?

Re: Secrets you don't want to make...

I love how the basic premise of Watership Down is just three different variations of ACAB. Owsla starts as complacent bullyboys who turn on their own when he tries to help the Hazel and Fiver, then the warren of the Unpersoning, and finally full on fashie rabbit police state with Woundwort's.

I loved the finale of Star Trek Lower Decks, it left everyone in such a sweet spot. That's not a secret. The secret is what I loved most is that it also, in a blink and you'll miss it but still canonically there scene, decanonized Discovery into a different branch of the multiverse. Yes!!!

An FS thread got me looking up the lyrics to Baby Got Back again and I'm surprised at how... nice? a song it is.

There's of course the standard 'bimbos and hoes' misogyny of the time but like, being into 'healthy' butts? Dissing porn and fashion magazines pushing unrealistic body types and making curvy women feel fat? Explicitly saying no to verbal and physical abuse and dissing men who hit women?

Huh.

I hate that Anne With an E seems to be making a permanent impact on Anne Fandom. Just, ugh. Fuck that show.

Re: Secrets you don't want to make...

I get burned almost every time. I'm still hurting from the awfulness of Man of Steel and the DCU. And yet, every time I hear that music I still get excited. Superman is my superhero. I just want a good adaption again. Please.

I am completely crushed that I find Dragon Age Veilguard so boring. I have had a rough year and was really looking forward to this as a fun distraction.

I was never interested in Ariana Grande but I enjoyed her in Wicked. So I went looking into behind the scenes stuff, which just led down a rabbit hole of her relationships and...
Jesus Christ! Someone please get this woman to a head doctor. You cannot possibly be right in the head if your entire sexual orientation appears to be "homewrecker".

Re: Secrets you don't want to make...

Well the secret about Dwight/Jim got me intrigued in the pairing, and it has surprisingly good fic. But an untapped resource is Angela/Pam, but only with Angela absolutely dominating Pam.

Kids media that holds up

[(Anonymous)]

Inspired by secret 3 - what is some stuff you loved as a kid and still holds up today? Books, games, movies, etc

Merry Solstice

[tabaqui]

and Happy Yule! May you all find peace and new motivations for joy in the new year.
Blessed be. :D

Game you replay the most

[(Anonymous)]

What is a video game that has the most replayability for you?

Dumb rant

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not really into social media, so I was happy to find an obscure message board for my fandom. After lurking for a bit, I got the vibe that it seemed pretty cliquey and insular, but I thought that was just my anxiety talking and decided to post...turns out my initial instinct was right, and the people there are just rude assholes.

Guess I'll go back to just watching the show by myself. *sigh*

I know this is a massively dumb thing to be bothered by, so...anyone else have dumb things that have bothered them recently?
