  • Shout to the void (pt10)🪐

    Real quick… part 10?!?! Holy moly!! 10 weeks of complaining and supporting each other🫶🏼

    You know the drill.. what was a complaint (no matter how big, small, dramatic, silly, serious, etc) that happened in the past week that you need to shout to the void?!💭

  • crafting!!

    HI PALS!! i’m gonna start a new craft today, a diamond art with the cutest cats! i’ll add a picture once i figure out how..

    i wanted to hear about everyone’s craft of choice, and whether you like to audiobook while you craft or prefer to separate your hobbies. for me, i got into audiobooks bc i picked up diamond art! i’m so grateful for that bc i genuinely was twiddling my thumbs when i tried audiobooks before. doing something crafty w my hands actually helps me focus on the audiobook!

    also feel free to share anything about your crafts and current reads or even your day! i love reading everyone’s updates:))

  • Good books of the same genre

    The more I read the more I get the feeling that, when I find a book in a specific genre I really, really, really like, I shouldn’t read another book in the same genre directly afterwards. I’m always so disappointed!

    Do you feel the same? Or do you have some other insight or strategy?

  • Reading Multiple Books

    Hey, hey! I've got a question for the class. For those that read multiple books at the same time, do you have a method for doing so (ie: read a chapter of each or read only one each day, etc.) or do you just go at it randomly?

    I never thought I'd have this struggle, but I want to read all the things all the time and lately, even as I read/listen to one book, I find myself thinking of one or more other books. (Apparently my ADHD isn't as managed as it's been in the past! 🤣)

    I really need more women to write epic/grimdark fantasy...PLEASE

    See, I love the genre as a whole, and especially grimdark as a concept. The problem is, I don't like romance, and with the exception of romantasy, fantasy is very much dominated by male authors.

    now I really, REALLY dislike how the vast majority of male fantasy authors write women. It puts me off, destroys my immersion, and it's starting to ruin my relationship with the genre as a whole. In fact, there are only two authors I haven't had this problem with: Tolkien and Terry Pratchett. And I've read a bunch of fantasy.

    Right now I'm reading the Realm of the Elderlings by Robin Hobb, and let me tell you: I'm terrified of going through these books too fast and dread the day I inevitably finish the series. Because what do I read next? Yes, there's Ursula Le Guin, and Sussana Clark but who else? (Appreciate suggestions! I don't like R.F. Kuang)

    I miss the sensitivity, the imaginativeness, the care that goes into developing each character and world-building, the emotional depth of the story, and the beautiful prose that I've only come across in fantasy written by women. Swordfights, politics and war strategy are cool, sure, but I need MORE from my books. 😭

    TL;DR: GIRLS PLEASE WRITE MORE FANTASY I'M BEGGING YOU DON'T LEAVE ME TO THE BOOK-BRO SPHERE
