The novel had some issues too but overall handled her pretty well, I thought! I haven't watched far enough to say how the drama compares, but iirc the novel was at its worst when she was first introduced. There was a short extra about her backstory, it's spoiler free for the main plot

I've been there, wishing you luck!

J has been wanting to try making homemade bagels for a while (after getting pretty good at pretzels) and today was the day! Delicious.

hehe, glad my finished pieces can be described that way because my workspace certainly can't (I'm cleaning up after this project now lol)

Thank you!

Outer cover: a traditional design, vertical paper label for the title
Middle cover: the "original" transmigration novel, with florals and a script font
Inner cover: the messy scrawl of someone trying to keep up

There's an easter egg in this design: I spent too much time going over flower dingbat fonts till I found one that looked good to write SOS in flowers as the scene divider

The front cover: the innermost cutout is the actual title of the book, scrawled in green marker, the next layer is the "transmigration novel" with a floral background and fonts you might find on a romance novel, and the outermost cover is a traditional looking style with linen paper and a vertical paper label for the title.

The title page, with the title in english and chinese, and a floral border.

Two-sided endpapers, one side is a light pink and white floral pattern, the opposite side is a dark green background with pink flowers.

The book open showing the full cover. The leather spine has all three titles stamped in foil, with the first two titles crossed out.

I bound a copy of "How Dare You" for an exchange a few months ago and in honor of the drama coming out I pulled my own copy out of wip hell to finish it! The cover has a nested cutout design to go with the idea of transmigrating into a transmigration novel

Lingyuan be like: this is fine.

And it's on Libby!

I spent the first this many years of my life not really caring about the Civil War and only this past year found out I had an ancestor who fought at Gettysburg. Possibly going to get more into learning the history now. I take it you'd recommend the movie?

the drama's trying to convince me this guy's in stem

Drama!Shen Wei is so funny because he's got the professor aesthetic down, the costuming, the set dressing, everything says 100% Here Is An Academic and wait hold on he's an *engineering* professor?

I don't have a recipe, but I know vietnamese salty lemonade is made from preserved lemons

and to make it even harder, I realized that any bee books that touch on real-world environmental issues are probably going to be Too Sad

the Marnie Midnight books look good! I'll see if our library has them

so ... anyone happen to know of any Redwall-style animal stories about bees, caterpillars, or moths?

Me: after Wayside School, do you want to read another funny book or an adventure book?
7yo: adventure!
Me: about people, or about animals?
7yo: animals! CUTE animals!
Me: great! I know of a book about some mice and squirrels--
7yo: THOSE AREN'T CUTE!

Writers and publishers might want to know that there is a big gap in the shape of middle grade hard science fiction. My 8 year old is reading Andy Weir to get his fix.

Our 3d printer has introduced 9yo to a new hobby: painting minis.

It's for my kids actually! the oldest has been making choose your own adventure stories for the younger two. I think for now simpler is probably better. Twine looks like it should work!

I love that google forms is listed as an option here

Can anyone point me towards a tool for making text-based choose your own adventure stories?

"Record of the Missing Sect Master" is doing some *fun* things with the intersection of amnesia and identity porn.
