Our Flag Means Death reading challenge progress: 10/18 prompts completed

Behooved by M. Stevenson

#OFMDReadingChallenge

Behooved for "2.4 Maybe don't listen to a man who's becoming a bird"

⭐⭐⭐ A fun story, very similar to My Lady Jane, but hornier and with a lot of horse puns. Rep: bi/pan main character, lesbian side character.

Ooooh sounds fun! I'll have to add it to my TBR 📚

Chart for the #OFMDReadingChallenge

#OFMDReadingChallenge prompt 1.7, a book with an orange cover.
Pony Confidential by Christina Lynch is delightful. It’s funny and whimsical along with serious messaging about animal cruelty and the US criminal justice system. It just really worked for me. Plus, pony is the hero we all deserve.

Reading Challenge graphic updated to add the cover of Homegrown Magic by Jamie Pacton & Rebecca Podos to episode 1.8.

1.8 I bet there's some insane foliage
(A book with plants on the cover)

Homegrown Magic by Jamie Pacton & Rebecca Podis. A lovely cozy fantasy romance that was warm and relaxing. I just felt good while reading it.

For prompt 2.2 in the #OFMDReadingChallenge (and keeping up with the green covers) I have Key Lime Sky by Al Hess. I enjoyed the originality of the plot and everything was resolved well. I adored Denver, the MC, but cannot say the same for all the lead characters.

Aaaaaah it's so perfect!! I love them 🥰💖

BEHOLD! 🎣✨

Breeze Spells and Bridegrooms by Sarah Wallace & S.O. Callahan

#OFMDReadingChallenge

Breeze Spells and Bridegrooms for "1.9 I'm folding stuff and that's okay"

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cozy, low stakes story with an incredibly sweet romance in a queer normative fantasy setting. It could have been shorter, but I still enjoyed it very much! Rep: pan, demi

Drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. Stede is a merman and is leaning over Ed, touching his nose to Ed's and smiling. Ed is dressed in his purple tee and leathers. He's holding one hand under Stede's jaw and smiling. Ed is sitting on rocks in shallow water. Stede is lifting himself out of the deeper water around the rocks, flipping his tail. He's flirting.

Drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. They're sitting on the floor on top of two repaired patched up pillows. Their knees are touching. Ed is wearing his timeout onesie and Stede is wearing his cursed red suit shirt. They're both holding glasses of brandy and talking and laughing together. Ed's free hand is on Stede's thigh and Stede's free hand is resting on Ed's chest.

Drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. Ed is hugging Stede from behind. His arms are wrapped around Stede's chest. Stede's fingers are tangled with Ed's. They're older, greyer, wrinkled even more. Ed's hair has gone white. He's kissing Stede's forehead as Stede smiles.

Drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. Ed is holding into ship rigging with one hand and Stede with the other. Stede is looking up at Ed and smiling.

I love drawing the little quiet moments the most. I like flirty eyes and crinkly smiles around harmonized giggling and sweet-nothing whispers lost on a good breeze. Just want to draw them alive for as long as I am. #ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath

Defiant by Brandon Sanderson

#OFMDReadingChallenge

Defiant for “2.5 You wear fine things well"

⭐⭐⭐⭐ It felt a little slower than the previous books, but I loved the whole series! Very easy to read, entertaining and action packed. All the alien species were so original and interesting! Can I get a pet slug now?

I see you, ofmd Crew on the SNL design department 👀🏴‍☠️

Good morning, crew!! You are incredible!! Look at you - doing things and getting through the days!! It's amazing!! I'm so happy you're here!! I hope you have an absolutely stupendous day!! Take care and stay hydrated, my darlings!! 🫂💕✨️🏳️‍🌈🏴‍☠️ #OurFlagMeansDeath #LongLiveOFMD #CrewForLife

I started this one a few days ago but ended up DNFing it, I really wasn't into the characters and general vibes 😭

Update to my reading chart, with the cover of The Ruthless Lady's Guide to Wizardry by C.M. Waggoner on space 2.4.

2.4 Maybe don't listen to a man who's becoming a bird
(A book featuring shape shifting)

The Ruthless Lady's Guide to Wizardry by C.M. Waggoner. I wanted to like this more than I did. I liked the writing style, but it would have benefitted from being about 100 pages shorter.

The Ex Effect by Dana Hawkins

#OFMDReadingChallenge

The Ex Effect for “2.3 I’ll never leave again, come back to me"

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very entertaining, cute romance. I definitely recommend the audiobook! Rep: lesbian.

The Our Flag Means Death Reading Challenge tracking graphic. There are 18 blank books (one for each prompt), and one has had its cover replaced with the cover image of Empress of Salt and Fortune.

1.1 What we're about to do will be perilous (first book in a series)

Empress of Salt and Fortune

VERY impressive how much worldbuilding is in this tiny novella. I felt a bit lost in it at times, but the story is so compelling that I didn't overly mind.

#OFMDReadingChallenge

Starting a 🧵 for the #OFMDReadingChallenge! And here's my Storygraph if anyone wants to be friends over there: app.thestorygraph.com/profile/what...

Drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. They're floating underwater and holding hands. Ed is lifting one hand to touch Stede's cheek. Stede is holding a gold trident in one hand. Stede is a merman with gold scales and light pinky purple fins. Ed is in a cropped dark purple shirt and his leather pants. He's not wearing shoes. His hair is floating above him. They're both smiling at each other.

I'm just trying to be brave
