But then there are authors that do both! (Not specifically dark romance)

Sarah J. Maasโ€™s ToG, ACOTAR (I know the hype but Iโ€™m a sucker for her stories), Crescent City.

The Deavabad Trilogy by S. A. Chakraborty,

or the Rook and Rose Trilogy by M. A. Carrick

Remember, fighting the good fight is exhausting. Take tips from marginalised folks whoโ€™ve been doing it all along. Breaks need to happen to prevent burnout. Pacing is important. Community is important. Community means sharing the load so you DO get rests. Donโ€™t feel bad for resting & finding joy.

Any recommendations for a number-generator styled tech for choosing the next book to read?? Like, adding all the books from the tbr pile, and it shuffles them and chooses one for you? ๐Ÿค“ #booksky (there might be too many options)

Someone else told me itโ€™s just a difference between British vs American writing styles? I have not googled into this further, but it made sense, given many words have different spellings depending on the residence of the writer.

Do you recommend any other works by the author? (:

Civ 7 comes out on February 11th 2025.

If they wanted to take over the country, they only had to wait like three weeks until every technocratic nerd was unreachably distracted.

They fundamentally do not understand us, and that is why they will lose.

Thatโ€™s fair! This was my first read from this author, and I didnโ€™t realize there were different approaches for marking dialogue. I think that kinda make it a challenge for me, and the transitions felt awkward. I thought the idea/plot was there for sure tho!
