Send Me Your Indie Lit To Review (Book Swap Campaign)

Inspired by a post from a mutual in the same boat as I am unable to get any sales. For me, at least, the idea of hocking my book like the insufferable BookTok influencers is the antithesis of who I am and who I want to resort to being just to get the word out… but then, I also kept completely forgetting about this mutual’s book for like, a whole month, and then spontaneously paid a whole $0.99 for the kindle ebook and read it in one sitting and you can check out that review here (I am an extremely fast reader).

So!

Send me your books and even if I don’t like them, I’ll come up with something good to say because there is an audience for them that I might not fit. There's not a lot of content that I won't at least give a chance, rating regardless, so don't be shy! I don’t have a million followers but maybe if we all help each other out, we can succeed in spite of the Daily Grind rhetoric they want to convince us is the only way.

Fee? $0.00

But. If I read and review yours, you read and review mine. That’s the deal. I’ll pay for your book, you pay for mine, and together we can all boost each other’s Amazon rankings. We. Can. Do. This!

And if you’re curious, my debut queer adult fantasy novel “Eternal Night of the Northern Sky” is out now!

*I do reserve the right to DNF. As do you. I’m not promoting any book that I would not recommend personally to a friend. This blog has integrity, where the shameless Bookstagram and Booktok influencers do not.

me and my friends book swaps are so funny because he’s giving me sci-fi fantasy action shit and i’m giving him cute fluffy shit most likely with queer people who are in love and everyone can see it but them

One Track For All

One Walk We Can All Learn From

"Telling the story of the southern Shoalhaven Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal history, from an Aboriginal perspective - a popular free attraction in Ulladulla.

The Aboriginal walking track has been constructed in a way that, from a higher vantage point or from the air, the two halves appear as two large goannas, with four carved platforms for some of the best views of the Ulladulla Harbour.

It is a cultural trail that will delight all, with the stories illustrated with carvings and paintings by local Aboriginal Elder Noel Butler, linking Indigenous culture with white man history." https://www.visitnsw.com/destinations/south-coast/jervis-bay-and-shoalhaven/ulladulla/attractions/one-track-all

One of the four lookouts, this one on the Northern loop of the walking track. Each one features carvings illustrating the history of the area from the perspective of First Nations people and the early settlers. From this point, the first ships were seen on the horizon and times were a'changing.

A steep track to a fishing spot.

A timber plank probably four metres long intricately carved to record daily life 250 years ago in this area.

An interaction that happened often here abouts.

In The southern section of the 4 km of trails is recorded the story of the early settlers - the timber cutters, the whalers, fishermen and sailors, the dairy farmers, and those that supported the many who lived around the Ulladulla region. The two halves are joined by a common theme - change. There were once 150 timber mills in the area, hundreds of fishing boats, and Dairy farming was the major agricultural industry. All gone now, as will this ironbark trunk, now etched by the strong morning light.

Look at this record of the fish s[species commonly caught in the area when the local industry supported 150 fishing trawlers - there are now two.

Behind the harbour and its boats, mostly recreational, is the modern township of Ulladulla.

When you enter or leave this wonderful trail you are greeted by an incongruous sight. This wonderful carving of a giant frog stands guard over a local book exchange!

As an aroace I engage with romance and sex from a fantasy-level type of distance in the way that whenever I remember that people in real life actually want to touch each other's genitals I get the same wave of "hold the fuck up" that I would get if someone reminded me dragons exist.

IM SORRY IVE BEEN BUSY MAKING THIS LEVITY RISES INTRO ANIMATIC

song by @maddiesmiles I love her she's so cool

Swaps to note from this:

Bill Cypher // Smile dip Puppies

Read about them here

The altered intro end was moreso to reference the animatics unused one!

Darlene // Paul Bunyan

(Yeah this does mean mason fails to flirt with him Paul, half because he knows he's a cryptid ithink. Paul probably turns into a blue minotaur maybe. As for Darlene, she's probably just a super frequent ad mascot)

Waddles // The axolotl

(the axolotl is called wades! Bc of this change, at the end of the summer Mason doesn't get his memories back immediately- it takes a few months)

Zombies // Gnomes

(I thought flipping the premise of the first episode would be fun, plus, tiny sentient zombies and tall garden gnome like cryptids that kinda stand there sound COOL)

I've been seeing the messages in the inbox, I'll get to answering them soon 😭😭😭

Book Buddy Swap: Trying Something New

Lately, I’ve been feeling the need to get out of my bookish shell. In other words, I’ve been craving new ways to interact with the bookish community. However, finding new ways to do so is easier said than done. So when I saw a post in one of my Facebook groups looking to connect book buddies, I knew it was the perfect thing for me. Basically, I signed on for a three-month book buddy swap, where…

they're filming season two, but i'm thinking about the potential adaption of the mount tam scene in season three. you know, the one where annabeth could apologize for pushing percy out of the way and falling off the cliff in his place, and how she knows that sounds terrible but they didn't have time for another plan and she didn't want to lose him that way. but percy just engulfs her in a hug because he's so relieved that she's safe now and everything else be damned. and annabeth doesn't understand why he's snickering to himself after that last statement, but she melts into the hug anyway because she missed him. and thalia and grover stand in the background happy for their friends on the outside but internally mortified, because their friends are definitely falling for each other but fate may not allow them to see it through.
