book recs please!
le tits now
I like character driven stuff about problematic people (no violence against animals or kids tho please)
le tits now
a lot of YA doesn’t grab me tho there have been exceptions, most notably the hunger games
le tits now
also historical fiction, SFF if the world building isn’t too dense, memoirs about weird stuff
le tits now
not a fan of romance unless it’s fucked up in some major way
le tits now
just like. gimme morally questionable people and hard situations lmao
just donna
have you done the Ancillary series?
space rasputin
if you haven't done Gideon the Ninth yet I think you'd enjoy it, the world building is much more fantasy than sci-fi and everyone makes stupid choices
space rasputin
the main romances involve dead people, one way or another
le tits now
Haven’t heard of Ancillary! Gideon is on my to-investigate list
le tits now
I’m bout to go renew my library card so I can check out ebooks for Night Reading
just donna
ancillary justice is the first, then there's two sequels, it's a character driven space opera
le tits now
I’m working on The City of Brass which is pretty good so far but I borrowed a paper copy and it’s murdering my eyes in the dim nursery
just donna
then I recently cracked into Swordspoint, it's an older book but it's kind of a... low fantasy/comedy drama of manners, if you like Johnathan Strang and Mr Norell I think you'd like it, it's got some awful people in it hahah
le tits now
Oh that sounds very my vibe
just donna
the city in it was a big inspiration for Ankh-Morpork so that speaks highly of it I think. the one sequel Ive read so far ... was not so much my vibe though
koke
max gladstone's craft sequence is my usual recommendation
le tits now
Oh shit idea, I love discworld
le tits now
Ideal*

just donna
I’ve started Swordspoint and I’m really digging it
le tits now
Full of shitheads just the way mama likes it
just donna
I feel like there's so boys you could really get in to. I just can't believe this book existed since like, I've been alive and no one TOLD ME
le tits now
a slew of rowdy dirtyboys
le tits now
finished Swordspoint, loved it
le tits now
i’ve got a hold on Gideon the Ninth and should have it in, checks, 13 weeks lol
poissonneux
read the traitor baru cormorant if you haven't
poissonneux
it's about a woman growing up in a colonised society who decides she's going to use the master's tools to break the master's house but she gets pretty fucked up along the way
poissonneux
also it's extremely gay
le tits now
INTERESTING
le tits now
I have investigated the two series recommended and I think I'm just not feeling A Series rn but I haven't eliminated the possibility
le tits now
I'm gonna read a memoir next but I'll try Traitor Baru Cormorant after
Tᴀᴛᴇʀs.
I thiiiink I recommended Nice Dragons Finish Last aka the Heartstriker novels but if I haven't, I do
Tᴀᴛᴇʀs.
Modern/future tech and lifestyle but what if the world also had to contend with nature spirits, magical beasts in the sewers, and dragons who are senators and have their own talk shows. The main character is a dragon named Julius whose mom basically owns North America. He is very bad at being an evil conniving power hungry dragon.
Tᴀᴛᴇʀs.
So his mom, who is the literal worst, curses him to remain in human form until he proves himself, or she'll eat him. So Julius immediately hooks up with a girl who can talk to ghosts who might have connections to the mob oops
Tᴀᴛᴇʀs.
Anyway, they anger ancient and powerful spirits a lot, Julius has a mess of brothers and sisters, some of them suck while others are EXTREMELY FUCKING COOL, they include Bob the seer and Chelsie the enforcer and just. Wait until you meet Amelia.
Tᴀᴛᴇʀs.
Anyway. I love these books I hope more people read them
Tᴀᴛᴇʀs.
first book on amazon
