I finished #WindandTruth

I’m not ok, and will need the next 6 years to recover while waiting for book 6 🪐📚

lamaery Windrunner Pas de Deux After Skybreaker on ice I somehow ended up with a Windrunner ballet... I was drawing a ballerina for a job, and when I sketched Syl in my free time, once again I thought how…

Found this art: www.tumblr.com/lamaery/6764...

I think(?) it was made before Wind and Truth came out, but this is my headcannon of how it looked now

Just finished Day 6! Part of me wants to devour this book as fast as possible. The other part wants to take my time so it never has the end

Day 6 was brutal. I can’t imagine what Sanderson still has in store for us #WindandTruth #cosmere 🪐📚

This single scene is so full of love and happiness. Our favorite bridge boy Kaladin deserves a happy ending, but the thought that it could be something like this sparks so much joy

If something horrible happens, please let me be blissfully unaware #WindandTruth

Probably enough to just make a dent in this absolute tome

When you spent billions and destroyed your brand to recreate 1930's Germany and got 1780's France instead.

I’m so glad that audiobooks were a good solution for you! They’ve unfortunately never worked out for me. But anything that helps people read while juggling a busy schedule is always great news 🤩

Trying to work my way through a reading slump without DNFing books that I genuinely enjoy. This time I’m tackling The Light of All That Falls 50 pages at a time until I finish. And being kind to myself on days I don’t get that far

Looking forward to James Islington’s other series in the future!

Would highly recommend checking out The Dark Tower series by Stephen King.

If you loved The Expanse, I’d suggest checking out the first book in their new series, The Mercy of Gods. That, and a short story, are the only books in the series so far, but it’s looking like another great one!

We’ve survived the week and made it to game day!

Excited to continue taking my players out of Brevoy and into the wilds of Pathfinder Kingmaker

Have you checked out Priory’s prequel A Day of Fallen Night yet? Loved it even more than the first one!

Tried to get a cute picture of Regie snuggling, but today he’s photographing like a middle-aged man’s dating profile

Huh.

Was early Twitter this inviting? I thought it would be more intimidating, starting over on a new platform.

So far, you’re all delightful

The storytelling on display in Scarlet and Violet felt like the strongest we’ve seen in ages. Such a shame it was held back by the end product being rushed into the ground

Obligatory introduction post. I’m Em (she/her), a 27-year-old scientist working in veterinary parasitology.

I’m a huge sci-fi/fantasy nerd rediscovering my love for reading, perma-DM, and aspiring writer that mainly feeds into my D&D sessions because I can’t handle rejection.
