Stay indoors, outside is too unpredictable.

Technically they both qualify, but Poppy Wars is way violent for YA. I don't immediately think of Mistborn as YA but that's likely my internalized misogyny showing.

I mean they both have heavy world building, are excellent exampls of the Fantasy genre, and require reading at least another two books, but I think I prefer Mistborn to the Poppy Wars. I vote The Final empire.

Also I meant the comment as encouraging, you have plenty of time. Not as questioning that you didn't know day it was.

Well it sounds like you are reading the way you desire. Variety is the spice of life, what could be better. I am only working on three books. I need to catch up. :-)

Today's blend is Kroger Lavender Earl Grey with cream. My partner brought me a Boston Cream donut from QT, and when a loved one brings you a donut, you know its going to be a good day.

Yesterday I filmed several baby birds walking across a street directly at my camera and asked Bluesky to suggest music

Several dozen folks did

Some even dubbed music over the original clip.

I haven't been able to get this out of my head.

So I give you

A Bluesky exclusive:

Reservoir Ducks

It seems unreasonable to take an hour from on us on International Women's Day. But I hope you have a great one! #internationalwomensday #celebratewomen #march8 #daylightsavingstime #EST #altanta

Today's blend is Eldritch Invocation by Decus Workshop. I've returned to The Killing Moon as previously I was having difficulty focusing on the heavy world building in this political fantasy novel. But I had a good night sleep despite the tome change and i'm ready. #booksky #teasky πŸ΅πŸ«–β˜•οΈ πŸ“šπŸŽ§ πŸ“šπŸ’™ πŸͺπŸ“š
