@deactivatdfilms I hate drawings of the characters on book covers (and also real people on covers). Thickness and page count can be daunting but the pay out of finishing a whooper of book is worth it

@Final_Revo @hollowearthterf If you cheat you don’t love her, you just don’t want to lose the love she gives to you

@d4doome If it’s not enjoyable for you it’s probably too hard for you

[natalielostherbrain @msc4themntlyill]

@mersminds @carterkalchik I’m just adding my two cents that the Sun Eater series was incredible and needs more hype

[natalielostherbrain @msc4themntlyill]

@GemstoneNWA @LunaDeNuit_ Seconding this. And his book The Maidens too

[natalielostherbrain @msc4themntlyill]

@___sunseto Open Throat by Henry Hoke. It’s less than 200 pages and is told from the perspective of a hungry mountain lion living under the Hollywood Sign. It was SO good and can be read in one sitting

[natalielostherbrain @msc4themntlyill]

@Loi_cee My bestie is a bartender so sometimes I go on her slow shifts to keep her company and I read whenever she gets busy, ima get my page count in wherever

[natalielostherbrain @msc4themntlyill]

@bookbeduion Yeah the expectations are different. If I read a seasonal cozy read that is satisfying it easily gets 5 stars, but I’m rating my lit read more critically

[natalielostherbrain @msc4themntlyill]

@aibeemartyn @Loi_cee I’ve been loving his other series—how is between two fires???

[natalielostherbrain @msc4themntlyill]

@Loi_cee Faithbreaker by Hannah Kaner (3rd in a fantasy trilogy)
Drive Your Plow Over The Bones of the Dead by Olga Tokarczuk

[natalielostherbrain @msc4themntlyill]

@Al_Asterisk @Loi_cee I loved this one! Naomi Novik is quickly becoming a must buy author for me

[natalielostherbrain @msc4themntlyill]

@Briellefine All this talk on twitter about older fantasy books so I felt compelled to re-read Crown Duel by Sherwood Smith

[natalielostherbrain @msc4themntlyill]

@Briellefine I was just picking up one of my old favorites (think I bought it in 2006??) and the back says $6.99 for mass market paperback, if I tried to repurchase the same book now it would $18 for a paperback

[natalielostherbrain @msc4themntlyill]

@tiredmommy1010 @jmgwritten Yep. We will be flooded with DCC style books right around the time we get a trailer for the TV show, same with Red Rising. Romantasy is already seeing a decline because the boom/excitement is over

[natalielostherbrain @msc4themntlyill]

@BestNewFriendo @BradfemlyWalsh @RachelCar1974 Do you have to insult people constantly to get your point across? You sound like a child with how often you call people names. Nowhere was I this inconsiderate when responding to you.

[natalielostherbrain @msc4themntlyill]

@jmgwritten Right, but outside of technicalities the general public is going to see it as a litRPG and publishing is going to try to chase that $$ high with similar books. Then the next big thing will come along

[natalielostherbrain @msc4themntlyill]

@lampwright4 @rowlands_laws I said “many” (I enjoy it now too) but the point is that yes they could make it more fun but the primary point is to teach kids about sonnet structure and plays

[natalielostherbrain @msc4themntlyill]

@jmgwritten So if anything, we will see far more red rising and DCC style books coming out. I already saw like 4 or 5 litRPG on the new release tables last time I was at B&N

[natalielostherbrain @msc4themntlyill]

@jmgwritten When Hunger Games got popular, there were so many copycat urban fantasies that just weren’t good. When ACOTAR got popular, more second rate copycats. They’ll do the same with DCC & Red Rising until the next “big” book makes them money. Trad pub rarely takes risks

[natalielostherbrain @msc4themntlyill]

@LexiconLass I’ll roll my eyes but I’m not gonna stop them, at least they’re reading SOMETHING instead of just listening to Andrew Tate podcasts
