Yeah he's definitely not snarky, he's just a bit of a flake πŸ˜‚ which is kind of refreshing for a main character

Oh! And I'm rereading the Nevermoor books by Jessica Townsend. My favorite middle grade fantasy. Super whimsy and the main character is great.

I've gone back to reading Robin Hobbs books. The Rain Wild chronicles is where I started and fell in love. The Live ship traders are also amazing. I don't like the main character of the other books so I ignore them πŸ«₯

'truly nonbinary wouldn't use gendered language'... so not only is she policing the terms 'lesbian' and 'gay' she's also telling nonbinary people they MUST reject all gendered language. What a joke 🀣

She'd be so mad to know I'm married to a trans woman and call myself a nonbinary lesbian πŸ’ƒπŸ’ƒ

Friends to lovers AND fake dating. Especially if the fake dating people fall for other people and it's all just a big mess

Nothing has really stood out to me so far. There's the obvious Sunrise on the Reaping but it didn't wow me because I was expecting it to be good

Frosthaven 😭😭 I haven't finished Gloomhaven yet. can't wait to dig into it more though. I think I've retired at least 4 characters by now

You could say it didn't age well considering how much bullying and fatphobia are in the books. Also lack of diversity. The subtle racism that people like the gloss over.

A good alternative is The Nevermoor books by Jessica Townsend.

I can't help but think of this quote everytime someone defends those books.

'-stylistically ordinary, imaginatively derivative, and ethically rather mean-spirited.”

- Ursula K. Le Guin

About 8 years ago one of my favourite podcasts reread HP through a critical lens. It taught me so much about media and how to engage with it EVEN WHEN you enjoy the thing your criticising.

He won't. He relies too much in the series to cut ties or to call her out.

This isn't gay porn and you know it. It's teaching safer sex. This book series also teaches about consent, are you angry children are learning how to tell you 'no' too?

3.5 stars rounded up for goodreads/netgalley.

Thanks to the publisher for an epub of this book prior to release.

Unfortunately, the plot develops too slowly. While we gradually meet more and more lovable characters, the book ends just as we've grown to know them.

This lighthearted story follows a spaceship determined to keep its humans alive, despite their tendency to meet supernatural deaths.

Came for a funny campy scifi, stayed for the characters.

I hate it too. You can't even legally sell them as 'ANZAC cookies'

this has just reminded me to buy more desiccated coconut so I can make my own

Negative: I was thoroughly put off by the fact that men's genitals are referred to as "wicks." When it first came up, I gagged. I justβ€”was that really necessary?

Bring on book 3!

I loved the first book in this series and A Drop of Corruption didn't disappoint.

Positive: Malo was a wonderful addition to the story. From the very first chapter, I was charmed by her brute honesty. I like Din as a main character, but I'd honestly prefer Malo. Maybe a spin-off?
