Hiii friends,
I just re-watched Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland and I’m craving a retelling based on the book! I’ve read Cameron Jace’s Insanity series (I need to re-read because the last book hadn’t been out when I read them) and Heartless by Marissa Meyer. On my list is:
- Splintered trilogy by A.G Howard
- Mad as a Hatter by Kendra Moreno
I’m looking for more recs so I can add to my list!
P.S: I’m not a fan of erotica so not that please! 😭❤️ more wonderland and madness vibes than smut (nothing wrong with that, just not looking for that thank u)

Hello! I'm going through a bit of a crisis right now and every book just makes me feel worse idk why. Does anyone have book (or even tv/movie) recommendations that is lighthearted and will make me laugh but doesn't have romance in it.

This recent news drop actually has me gutted😭 They said it will become official as of Fall 2027 and I feel like I'm equal parts shell shocked, angry, legit so sad. I know it's not for everyone, but I LOVE historical romance and I feel like over the past few years I've only just started experiencing the diversity within the genre whether it was coming from Diana Quincy, JJ McAvoy, or Jade Lee😮💨 the spokesperson said they're trying to adapt to changing trends that readers are setting, but I feel like there's always a way to make space for the historical romance niche.

This volume was definitely focusing on a lot of setup. All of the missions in this volume are trigger points leading up to the events in the latter third of the book. A few things I loved about this volume specifically highlight Stein and Kid.
Stein is really coming into this story as a strong guardian figure. Which makes me both happy and wary because he's very similar to Princess Entrapta of the She-Ra series. He does a lot of things, "For science!" and his own curiosity, and it always makes me wonder what lines he will and will not cross for the sake of doing Death a solid by returning to the DWMA.
With Kid, I just freaking adore him. Up until this volume, he's also been used as a sort of comedic relief entity. A young nepo-reaper with severe OCD for all things symmetrical to the point of everyone's detriment (including his own). But after the Nidhogg mission, it's clear we're going to see a more serious side to him to which we should pay attention. After his conversation with Death, I am automatically clocking that the concept of madness and its many forms is probably the groundwork for this entire series.

This volume is so much stronger now that we're diving into some character growth arcs. I would give this volume a 5-star if it weren't for the fact that unnecessary fanservice comes back into play again, but luckily it's not nearly as egregious as volume one.
There are a handful of arcs for the main crew, save the Thompson Sisters. I think the most impactful of the bunch is the Tsubaki and Black Star arc where they are assigned to hunt down the Uncanny Sword, Masamune. You get some great nuggets of background info on both characters, and Tsubaki really comes into her own in this whole endeavor.
Maka and Soul's arc is my second favorite, as it acts as the first domino in what will eventually become the meta plot. But the events certainly give both Maka and Soul some personal pause, which adds to their character depth.
The most hilarious arc is when Death the Kid and Black Star go searching for the legendary weapon, Excalibur! This arc is bonkers. Excalibur is a hoot! I know in the anime he's somewhat of a running gag. But I love the fairy's reaction when they drop his name. The facial expressions post-Excalibur meet-up are just comedic gold!

The thought’s been rolling round my head for awhile, inspired by an excellent post about the prevalence of a specific type of fated mates in romantasy by @Fennyx.Fox here but while I’ve wound up reading a fair amount of fated mates, it’s not my favourite relationship type.
While grumpy x sunshine would be a close second, I’d class my favourite relationship type as right hand man x leader (in whatever fantasy/scifi/contemporary alignment it might need). I think while fated mates etc is almost a universal alignment eg the romance is going to happen, it’s destiny; right hand man x leader is more of a deliberate choice between the two characters and is an excellent set up for devotional pining which I could eat with a spoon.
So I’m curious if other people have a fave relationship type/s 🥰

It's been a couple of weeks for me now. The addiction is getting quite out of hand.
The symptoms? -a quick peak turns to two hours -can't stop staring at your new avatar, I even have that same top! -endless yapping -forgetting to eat -when did I last use the ladies'? Yesterday?
I have tried everything: -walks (takes a quick peak while walking, see point above) -begging friends to join PB -other hobbies. Can't remember what they are anymore. Something about collecting dolphin shaped rocks? Not sure. -low and behold, actual reading.
Is anyone else in the grips of this and is there a known cure? What have I gotten myself into?
