Ehhhhh, the Dead King and the Scavenger as villains just did not work for me. Felt like filler before getting back to the real stars of the show, which are Black Manta and Ocean Master. The random-ass 6 month time jump for Arthur to grow a beard made me laugh out loud. Goofy series. Also did the design of the Trench randomly change or is this an artist switch-up that simply does not care about the monster details...
The best parts of this were Mera's little arc from never wanting to return to the ocean to taking her place as queen, and the Orm epilogue.

Not like other title text!
Book covers with typography oriented in non-standard alignments, instead of the typical horizontal + left to right text alignment. Or: graphic design is my passion, and today we are learning about text paths 🙂↕️. This is an immensely silly List, and always open to suggestions—vertical text, circular, upside down, anything goes!

I like this book so far, but I cannot stand it when historical women feminist-ly disparage weaving and looms. Like, girl, your 21st century misrepresentation of history is showing.

What do you guys like to keep your Netgalley ratio at? And how do you think it affects the amount of ARCs you are approved for? I am a librarian with ALA affiliation so I feel like my ratio doesn't really affect the amount of ARCs I am approved for because I seem to be auto approved for many publishers. My ratio is at like 58% right now - is that good or bad lol

We're in March now! (or just about depending on your time zone!) and i think February was a great reading month for me, i think i'll most likely slow down after that 🤣 But ! at the beginning of February, i made a similar post to this one, asking how our January reading went ! so im here to ask how February went for everyone ?
I use the pagebound plan feature to kind of curate books i most Definitely want to read that month and then leave myself room for some others outwith the plan 🙂↕️ So February, i had planned 8 books, out of those 8 i read 7 and dnf'd only 1! very very happy 🐈 I've already got my reading plan sorted for this month and have started on Blood over bright haven to get me into march!
How did everyone elses reading go? Did you manage as much as you expected, or did you find yourself taking it a bit slower? 💐 Do you have any plans for specific books to read this month? ✨️
