I agree with a few of these! BoBH, The Devils, Swordheart, Lucky Day, Don't Let The Forest In.
only one I disagreed on was KJ Charles. This one just wasn't it for me personally πŸ’–

For a first piece, this looks great! My first one looks wavy because I kept loosing stitches and picking them up later. so wavy edges and holes. but it is so funny to go back and look at how much i improved between year 1 and 2

Thats the worst for me. If I was consistantly shit, I could handle that. But the really good to really bad is the frustration. "But I could do this yesterday" hurts

I love the books of all the media versions. The book Geralt is a man/nonhuman who tries to down play the little emotions he does have. "I was supposed to feel and THEY BOTCHED IT. They botched it and I DO feel things Yen." He is weird to people. He wasnt supposed to feel but kinda does. + Ciri is πŸ’―πŸ’–

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

One of the BEST non-fic I have read. This author retold Captain ThurΓ­dur's story and shares how incredible women's stories get left out or tarnished
