So, so, so… I have assembled the brain cells, my laptop, and a working wifi connection and I’m here to tell you we need to combine The Queen’s Thief, Six of Crows, and Ascendance Series fandoms.
Look, I just think if you like one of these series, you’ll like the others. They’ve got similar vibes, with the schemes and twists and always leaving the reader a tad bit in the dark. They’ve all got a main character who’s annoying as heck but wicked smart and absolutely hilarious (well, maybe Kaz isn’t hilarious. But he’s absolutely a fascinating character). Similar vibes, like adventure, and camaraderie, and trickery of all sorts. I think y’all will like the other books.
To get into a little more detail…
The Queen’s Thief series by Megan Whalen Turner (The Thief is the first book)
First book is probably middle school reading level, but the second book immediately gets darker and a bit older.
DRAMA. Characters that feel real
Like you know how in YA fiction, when the character gets hurt, and they act all stoic and cool about it?
Don’t get me wrong that can be cool sometimes but that’s not always super realistic
But these characters, you actually FEEL their pain (though sometimes Gen is just being dramatic)
But again the DRAMA
Characters making tough decisions. Maybe decisions you would disagree with.
But isn’t that what makes the characters so interesting and compelling? Because you can’t control them. They don’t do what you want them to do, they do what they feel they need to do.
And that’s what makes them seem like real people
Ok read it
Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo (duology, haven’t read the author’s connected Grishaverse series yet)
The most morally gray group of characters in my opinion
Which honestly makes them super interesting. The author doesn’t try to pretend that her characters are secretly the most noble or righteous, because let’s face it, they’re criminals
Organized crime, but with a lil bit of magic and fantasy
HEISTS!
Like seriously, they’re always planning heists, both small and big. I mean, it’s basically their job anyway
There’s so much plotting. Like think Sage and Gen’s scheming on steroids being used for mercenary purposes
If you haven’t yet, read it
The Ascendance Series by Jennifer Nielsen (The False Prince is the first book)
Targeted at middle school, but don’t let that phase you
Because the plot is popping.
Mysterious regicide? People trying to take the throne? We’ve got it all
Sage is like… young Gen or young un-traumatized Kaz
The attitude, the sheer cheekiness… that part’s all Gen. The scheming is something Gen, Kaz, and Sage have in common.
Sage is a vibe. He’s so snarky and wild.
NOW, let’s talk about the implications of combining the fandoms! What would it even be like if we threw all three series into the same universe?
Imagine introducing Grisha magic into The Queen’s Thief and The False Prince?
Personally I’m always a fan of adding magic. It’s just fun.
Combining the religious systems would be really interesting
We’ve got what, the gods from The Queen’s Thief, Djel and whatever from Six of Crows, and saints or whatever in the Ascendance series?
Ok so it’ll take someone with more brain cells to put that together, but there’s so much potential for really interesting discussions
If you’re into the complex in-universe politics of the Queen’s Thief, imagine what political relations would be like between Eddis, Attolia, Sounis, Carthya, Kerch, Ravka, Fjerda, Shu…?
Look it would add a BUNCH of potential allies and enemies. And drama.
It’s all about the drama
WHICH IS WHY imagine the chaos that would ensue if you had three of Gen… or three of Kaz… or three of Sage…
THAT’S what would happen if you put Gen, Kaz, and Sage together in the same universe
Either they would hate each other or be best friends. I’m not sure which tbh
Because they’re all so similar
And they’d all be running some sort of con on each other at all times.
In conclusion, if we combined these three fandoms, absolute shenanigans would go down. Thanks for tuning in, and please join me in the madness.

30 Day Writeblr Challenge
Day 20: What are your favourite books/authors?
Oho! What a great day to talk about one of my favorite things ever! I won’t bore you all with a huge list, but here are some of my favorites at this time:
Six of Crows duology (Leigh Bardugo)
Ember in the Ashes series (Sabaa Tahir)
The Lunar Chronicles (Marissa Meyer)
The Martian (Andy Weir)
The Ascendance Trilogy (Jennifer Nielsen)
Dairy Queen Trilogy (Catherine Gilbert Murdock)
I am definitely influenced by what I read, so it’s no shocker that most of this is fantasy. And how lovely we can keep adding to our lists!

best books with morally ambiguous narrators!
all y’all’s problematic faves and villains! :) also included are third person narrators but in books with morally ambiguous leads/themes
Sci-fi
Scythe by Neal Shusterman: in a future free from pain, disease, and war, people can live forever. ‘scythes’ are given the power to decide who lives and who dies to preserve the balance. sad and kinda gives of hunger games vibes, if you like that.
Neuromancer by William Gibson: basically invented the cyberpunk genre. strange and removed protagonists. (a team of computer hackers have to face off against an evil AI). you kind of dislike everyone and suddenly you’re crying over them. one of those trippy sci-fi classics.
The Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut: very beautiful and very very sad (same author as slaughterhouse five). the richest man in america has to face a martian invasion. more about free will and bad people doing good things than a plot that makes any kind of sense.
The Man in the High Castle by Philip K Dick: set in an alternate universe where the germans and japanese won world war two. not really like the tv show at all- it’s not an action story, and there’s not really the hope to somehow fix the world that drives a lot of dystopia stories. instead its about how people survive and connect to one another in a hopeless society.
The Scorpion Rules by Erin Bow: a supercomputer convinces the leaders of the world to keep the peace for hundreds of years by taking their children hostage and obliterating any city that disobeys. what happens to the hostage protagonists when war seems inevitable? lots of morally fraught decisions and characters slowly losing their identity. (plus a fun lesbian romance)
Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson: a brilliant mathematician and a dedicated marine fight to keep the ultra secret in world war two. fifty years later, a tech company discovers what remains of their story. one of the most memorable sequences in the book is a japanese soldier slowly becoming disillusioned with his nation and horrified by the war even as he continues to fight.
Blade Runner by Philip K. Dick: another one of those sci-fi classics that’s not at all like the movie. there is a bounty hunter for robots, though, as well as a weird religion that probably is referencing catholicism and a decaying society with a shortage of pets. kind of a trip.
Wilder Girls by Rory Power: girls trapped in a boarding school on an isolated island must face a creeping rot that affects the animals and plants on the island as well as their own bodies. the protagonists will do anything to survive and keep each other safe. very tense (and bonus lesbian romance whoo)
The Fifth Season by N K Jemisin: three women are gifted with the ability to control the earth’s energy in a world where those who can do so are forced into hiding or slavery. some veryyyy dark choices here but lots of strong female characters.
Historical Fiction
Fingersmith by Sarah Waters: two victorian lesbians fall in love as they plot to betray each other in horrific ways. lots of plot twists, plucky thieves, gothic settings, and a great romance.
Quo Vadis by Henryk Sienkiwicz: a powerful roman soldier in the time of Nero plots to kidnap a young woman after he falls in love with her, only to learn more about the mysterious christian religion she follows. very melodramatic but some terrific prose.
All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr: a blind girl in France and a brilliant German boy recruited by the military struggle through the chaos of the second world war. ends with a bang (iykyk.) very sad, reads like poetry.
Boxers by Gene Luen Yang: graphic novel reveals the story of a young boy fighting in the boxer rebellion in early twentieth century china. the sequel, saints, is also excellent. beautifully and sympathetically shows the protagonist’s descent into evil- the reader really understands each step along the way.
Fantasy
Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake: three triplets separated at birth, each with their own magical powers, have to fight to the death to gain the throne. lots of fun honestly
Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo: everyone in these books is highly problematic but you love them all anyway. a ragtag game of criminals plan a heist on a magical fortress. some terrific tragic back stories, repressed feelings, and revenge schemes.
The Dark Tower series by Stephen King: idk how to describe these frankly but if you can put up with King’s appalling writing of female characters they’re pretty interesting. fantasy epic about saving the world/universe, sort of. cowboys and prophecies and overlapping dimensions and drug addicts galore.
The Amulet of Samarkand by Jonathan Stroud: lots of fun! a twelve year old decides to summon a demon for his cute lil revenge scheme. sarcastic demon narrator. lighthearted until s*** gets real suddenly.
Elegy and Swansong by Vale Aida: fantasy epic with machiavellian lesbians and enemies to lovers to enemies to ??? to lovers. charming and exciting and lovely characters.
The False Prince by Jennifer Nielsen: an orphan boy must compete with a few others for the chance to impersonate a dead prince. really dark but very tense and exciting and good twists.
The Grace of Kings by Ken Liu: fantasy epic. heroes overthrow an evil empire and then struggle as the revolution dissolves into warring factions. interesting world building and three dimensional characters, even if they only have a small part.
Circe by Madeline Miller: the story behind the witch who turns men into pigs in the odyssey. madeline miller really said, i just used my classics degree to write a beautiful gay love story and now im going to write a powerful feminist retelling because i can. queen. an amazing and satisfying book that kills me a lil bit because of the two lines referencing the song of achilles.
Heartless by Marissa Meyer: the tragic backstory for the queen of hearts in alice in wonderland. a little predictable but very fun with a compelling protagonist
A Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones) by George RR Martin: ok I know we all hate GRRM and rightfully so but admittedly these books do have some great characters and great scenes. they deserve better than GRRM though. also he will probably never finish the books anyway....
A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket: not really fantasy but not really anything else either. plucky, intelligent, and kind children fight off evil plots for thirteen books until suddenly you realize the world is not nearly as black and white as you thought.
Classics
Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier: gothic romance!! a new wife is curious about the mysterious death of her predecessor in a creepy old house in the British countryside...good twists and lovely prose.
A Separate Peace by John Knowles: not really morally ambiguous but one awful decision suddenly has awful consequences and certain people are haunted by guilt forever.... really really really beautiful and really really really sad. boys in a boarding school grow up together under the shadow of world war two.
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy: while imperial russia slowly decays a beautiful young woman begins a destructive affair. a long book. very russian. the ending is incredibly tense and well written.
Lord of the Flies by William Golding: I think you know the plot to this one. the prose is better than you remember and the last scene is always exciting.
And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie: one by one, the guests on an island are slowly picked off. one of Christie’s darkest mysteries- no happy ending here! very tense and great twists.
Contemporary
The Secret History by Donna Tartt: inspired the whole dark academia aesthetic. college students get a little too into ancient greece and it does not end very well. lovely prose but I found the characters unlikable.
Honorable Mentions
The Dublin Saga by Edward Rutherford: has literally a billion protagonists, but some of them are morally ambiguous ig? follows a few families stories’ from the 400s ad to irish independence in the 20s. beautifully captures the weight and movement of irish history.
Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer: how morally ambiguous can you be if you’re, like, eleven? a lot if you’re a criminal genius who wants to kidnap a fairy for your evil-ish plan apparently!
Redemption by Leon Uris: literally my favorite novel ever. the sequel to Trinity but can stand alone. various irish families struggle through the horrors of world war one. the hero isn’t really morally ambiguous, but the main theme of the novel is extremely bad people suddenly questioning their choices and eventually redeeming themselves. sweeping themes of love, screwed up families, redemption, and patriotism.
The Lymond Chronicles and House of Niccolo by Dorothy Dunnett: heroes redeem themselves/try to get rich/try to save their country in early renaissance Europe. if I actually knew what happened in these books I'm sure it would be morally ambiguous but its too confusing for me. in each book you spend at least a third convinced the protagonist is evil, though. lots of exciting sword fights, tragic romances, plot twists, and kicking english butt.
Bonus: Protagonist is less morally ambiguous and more very screwed up and sad all the time
The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt: you know this one bc its quoted in all those quote compilations. basically the story of how one horrible event traumatizes a young man and how he develops a connection to a painting. really really really good.
Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro: hard to describe but strange... not an action novel or a dystopia really but sort of along those lines. very hopeless.

But Kestra is not the obedient captive they expected. One of the rebels, Simon, has his hands full as Kestra tries to foil their plot, by any means necessary.

Harlyn Mindell is his betrothed and intended queen, but Simon can't give up hope for a life with Kestra. Kestra, exiled, feels her magic growing -- and despite everyone's warnings, she knows she must embrace it. That power is the key to the kingdom's future.

As an almost exclusive YA consumer (and I too have passed this ridiculous 19 yo restriction) I am... shocked. I’ll just drop off a few series you may or may not have already read: Red Queen-Victoria Aveyard. Warcross-Marie Lu. (Anything by Marie Lu I love her) Eon-Alison Goodman. The False Prince-Jennifer A. Nielsen. The Cruel Prince-Holly Black. The Iron King-Julia Kagawa. Happy reading!
You stepped on a landline asking me for these recs bc I forgot some. Legend-Marie Lu (these are maybe my favorites ever) The Shadowhunter Chronicles, particularly the Infernal Devices subseries - Cassandra Clare The Demon King - Cinda Williams Chima Okay, I think that’s fine for now bc I just gave you like two years’ worth of reading. I hope something in there sparks your interest :)
This is such a wonderfully long list of books that SHOULD take two years if I, you know, function as a responsible member of society and actually work on my book, but may only last the summer if I refuse to go outside or interact with anyone. Either way, THANK YOU.
(Anyone else that would like to drop by and recommend me some YA books - please feel free to do so! Read this post for more info)

On Nancy’s Bookshelf: March 2019
It’s time for another OMB post! First, let’s look at February’s post and see how I did.
Read: Ash Princess, Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, Lord Edgware Dies
Started: The Star-Touched Queen and The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
That means Shadow of the Fox, Everless, Kiss of Deception, Lady Smoke, Star-Touched Stories, and Among the Janeites carry over to March, along with finishing the two I’ve started.
And the stack for March...
I also have a list of ebooks I want to read this month:
Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow by Jessica George Day
The Shadow Throne by Jennifer A Nielsen
Project Darcy by Jane Odiwe
Romancing Mister Bridgerton by Julia Quinn
If you’re thinking that’s an awful lot of books for one month, especially considering I didn’t finish the ten books on my list last month, you are partially correct. However, I did read 2.5 books not on my February list. (An Offer From a Gentleman, Fellowship of the Ring, and part of Two Towers.)
Plus, I’m on spring break the last week of March. I purposely put a lot of books on the list so I’d be able to cross them off that week. I figure I’ll read twelve of the nineteen books on my list, which isn’t bad.
What are you reading this month?

Critics Choice Awards Favor Nomadland and Promising Young Woman, Reshape Awards Race
https://ift.tt/eA8V8J
What a difference a week makes. Seven days ago, the Golden Globes arrived with controversy and allegedly upended the race with some major surprises (and major head scratchers). Is Jodie Foster really a contender for Best Supporting Actress? Was the support for Maria Bakalova just internet hype? There was plenty of hand-wringing, but Sunday night’s 26th annual Critics Choice Awards arrived to recalibrate the state of the awards race—and to give an interesting look at how a singular industry marches on during a pandemic.
The biggest winner of the night was Nomadland, which picked up the Critics Choice Awards for Best Picture and Best Director, making Chloé Zhao an even more concrete frontrunner at the Oscars (ahead of her Marvel debut via Eternals). But after the Golden Globes shut out Emerald Fennell’s Promising Young Woman, the movie’s star Carey Mulligan took home the Best Actress prize at the CCA while Fennell herself won the Best Original Screenplay award. With the pitch black comedy/feminist thriller being one of the most talked about films of 2020—and one that had an honest to God theatrical release—its resurgence at the CCA will counteract last week’s media narrative that it is too outside the box and too hard to categorize (or feminist) for awards voters as the race moves forward toward the guilds.
Similarly, Maria Bakalova got a major bump after she lost in the Golden Globes category she seemed like a shoo-in for (Best Actress in a Musical/Comedy). Prognostications that the chances of the Borat 2 star winning a major award had vanished proved premature, with Bakalova taking home Best Supporting Actress over perceived favorites like Amanda Seyfried for Mank and Olivia Colman for The Father. She also teased us with information that she’d be there in a heartbeat if Sacha Baron Cohen ever decided to make Borat 3.
Overall the awards circuit continues to be strange during the COVID era. Once again stars and filmmakers appeared Zooming from their homes or hotel rooms. Jason Sudeikis, who’s Ted Lasso won Best Comedy Series and Best Actor, once again appeared in a hoodie (this one from the set of Booksmart). Conversely, Anya Taylor-Joy—the breakout star of The Queen’s Gambit who won a Critics Choice Award tonight, as did her show for Best Limited Series—was in an evening gown in the wee small hours of the morning.
“It’s kind of fun dressing up in your own house. I don’t know what it is, but you get to play your own playlist, you just sort swing around, and you get to be in your pajamas in a minute,” Taylor-Joy says about awards Zooming. On the subject of fabled awards after parties, she also notes, “It’s going to be like 2 a.m. in London quite soon, and I have to go to work tomorrow, so I’m going to work! Which I’m really excited about; it’s my favorite place in the world.”
Yet in such strange times, celebrating art that actually entertained or distracted people has perhaps greater merit than ever. And it can bring attention to unique projects. That’s at least one silver lining Andy Samberg, who picked up the Critics Choice Award on behalf of Palm Springs in the Best Comedy Movie category, told us.
“I always hesitate to say this, because there is nothing good about the quarantine and the pandemic, and everything, but I think in a lot of ways it helped people see our movie more because everyone was at home [and] because it went straight to streaming to Hulu in the States,” Samberg says. “It came out really at this moment when movies were just starting to come out again… We were like the first wave of ‘see what happens when you put a movie out!’ It turns out people were just sitting there waiting for new stuff.”
Below is all the new stuff that was awarded by the CCAs. Winners (including a few ties) will be BOLDED.

Hey guys! It’s been AGES since I’ve done a monthly wrap-up! So here it is: my January Wrap-Up post for 2019! I managed to about 5 books this month, which to me, was a pretty good effort! If you told me that last year I would be super disappointed haha! But this year I’ve decided to set my Goodreads Reading Challenge to 1 book – meaning that I can read what I want, whenever I want. That way I won’t be discouraged when I don’t meet a certain goal every month now that I’m in my clinical years of med school. (I’ve already been back for one week and I’m already so drained haha!)
The books I’ve read this month:
The Queen of the Tearling by Erika Johansen (⭐⭐⭐⭐)
Truly Devious by Maureen Johnson (⭐⭐⭐⭐)
An Illustrated History of Notable Shadowhunters and Denizens of Downworld by Cassandra Clare (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐)
Enchantée by Gita Trelease (⭐⭐⭐⭐)
Stealing Home by Becky Wallace (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐)
Books I bought for myself in January:
I discovered the beautiful editions of novels published by Everyman’s Library – and I knew I had to get a copy of a Jane Austen novel. I also happened to have just watched the 2007 Persuasion movie – so yup, I went ahead and bought myself a copy of Persuasion by Jane Austen – and OH MY – the quality is superb – highly recommend!
Books I received from publishers:
I wasn’t the biggest fan of Black’s The Cruel Prince, but, I will still be reading The Wicked King sometime i the future. Shoutout to the team over at Allen and Unwin for sending me a copy!!!
