what's some of your favorite books of all time?
Hi myeotien, thanks for your ask! <3
Aaahhh this question is a bit tricky for me… because even though I read tons of books as a kid I pretty much fell out of reading published novels for pleasure since leaving school and only recently picked it back up again in the last couple of years. Before that, I think the only book series I had finished reading in the last decade were A Song Of Ice And Fire series and the Captive Prince trilogy, both of which I enjoyed. I remember having a minor fixation with Lord Of the Flies when I read it in 5th grade because it was ~darker & edgier~ than anything else I had read before at the time… I haven’t reread it since so idk if I can say it’s an all-timer but I’m pretty sure it has influenced my taste in stories in general lol. One of my first fandoms back in the day was for a certain book series about wizards but for reasons I’m sure I don’t have to explain I don’t fuck with it anymore lol.
Most of the pleasure reading I’ve done for the past 20ish years or so where I got to admire writing as a craft has been through fanfiction hahaha. Tbh I’m starting to realize that a lot of the inspiration for my own writing comes not from books but from completely different mediums such as film and music, which I have consumed a lot more of as an adult—trying to translate visuals and sounds and the feelings evoked by them into words is what fuels me, ykwim? Anyway now that I’m pivoting back into reading & writing as a hobby I can at least show you a sampling of the sorts of things that are on my bookshelf atm (either read, started, or TBR)… hopefully some of these will become new all-time favorites! Also if y’all have recommendations I’m all ears :3

#emica chat#looking through my kindle I remember now I also read Mary Renault’s Alexander books#and I have her Theseus books too but haven’t started them#there was probably a two week period where I took a detour from the Patrochilles hyperfixation to go on an Alexander deep dive#if you wanna be a Patrochilles shipper worth your salt you gotta learn from the best one to ever do it amirite

🦇 Triple Sec Book Review 🦇
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
❓ #QOTD What's your favorite drink (non-alcoholic or cocktail)? 🦇 Post-divorce, Mel is now a jaded bartender at Terror & Virtue; a swanky cocktail lounge in NYC that gives the bar staff little room for creativity. There, Mel meets Bebe; beautiful, funny, and all too enchanting. Oh, and Bebe's partner, Kade. Mel tries to put meeting the bubbly beauty out of her mind until Bebe makes a unique offer: she wants to take Mel on a date. So begins Mel's first steps into the polyamorous world, prompting Mel to open her long trampled-on heart. While Mel balances shifts and dates with Bebe, she contemplates entering a cocktail competition to turn the dream of opening her own bar into a reality. But what if it all becomes too much at once?
💜 So, TJ Alexander is now a new auto-buy, a new fave, a new literary love. There are some books you have to read for chapters and chapters before you fall into the voice, before you recognize the main character's tone and inflictions and moods. The essence of Mel, from that very page, is both familiar and foreign, as most bartenders are. That's what makes them easy to talk to. Alexander's word choice is easy and enthralling; a comfort. Each character lives off the page until they're telling the story alongside you, from Bebe's bubbly personality to Kade's soft stoicism. This book is so beautifully, unapologetically, and above all NATURALLY queer. It's as refreshing as the palomas Mel loves (hopefully, since I wouldn't know), smooth and citrusy, sparkling and fun. I'm sad that I had to reach the end, even though the story's ending quenched my thirst after a long drought of 'meh' reads.
💜 Alexander provides a healthy, comforting, realistic glimpse into the polyamorous world. Each amendment to the written agreement Mel and Bebe began with showed us Mel's development as she opened her heart a little bit more with each chapter. I adored Mel's reason that many people she already knew (including her own roommate and best friend) were in poly relationships. Even though it took Mel by surprise, the actual existence of these relationships was natural. Alexander provides so many small glimpses into this world, inviting readers to understand different dynamics and arrangements, but there are bigger themes at play that I wish we delved into more for Mel's sake. For example, the analogy that relationships are gardens we must tend to, less they wilt. While Mel decides to put more of an effort into her friendship with Daniel, we only see two small attempts (a brief conversation and her meeting Daniel's paramour).
💜 Mel's trip with Kade was everything, providing us with an opportunity to focus on Kade's microexpressions and inner workings. I honestly could have lived in that chapter far longer. Maybe we can get a prequel, with Kade and Bebe and Blue, from Kade's point of view? I understand too well, being the person who feels so, so much but doesn't always show it. The commentary on jealous, their reasoning behind Bebe calling them "wife," their reaction to Mel defending them when so many people misgendered them at the airport; everything. Kade's smallest gestures had the biggest impact, including their urging for Mel to TALK with them and Bebe instead of getting upset over a minor mistake. Communication is a big theme in this book, in the BEST way. Bebe and Kade urge Mel to process her thoughts and feelings, even when Mel tends to fight them. Again, a wonderful portrayal of a healthy relationship.
💙 As captivating as Alexander's voice and wordplay were, I feel like some moments were rushed through. We don't get much of a chance to linger on the development of the relationships, HOW the feelings came about, instead moving quickly from the first date to Mel's unexpected attachment to Bebe, then again from the snow trip to amending the agreement once to include Kade to eventually the final amendment. There was just a bit too much tell and not enough show for me. Also, can we get some of Mel's recipes, pretty please?
🦇 Recommended to fans of Casey McQuiston and Alexandria Bellefleur.
✨ The Vibes ✨ 🍸 Delightfully Queer 🍸 Polyamorous Relationships 🍸 No Third-Act Breakup 🍸 Cocktail Competition 🍸 Contemporary Romance 🍸 Lesbian Protagonist / Sapphic Ship 🍸 Non-Binary Love Interest 🍸 Smut
🦇 Major thanks to the author and publisher for providing an ARC of this book via Netgalley. 🥰 This does not affect my opinion regarding the book. #TripleSec
💬 Quotes ❝ "There’s a difference between feeling something and letting it consume you.” ❞ ❝ 'Just’ friends makes it sound like something lesser. Easier. I don’t think it is. It’s still a garden that needs tending, even if it’s growing something else. In some other season.” ❞ ❝ “Blue used all pronouns. They used to say it was the closest they could get to describing the infinite spirit inside them.” ❞ ❝ “You grow up, thinking, ‘If only I can find the one person I can be with for the rest of my life, if only I can get a house with a yard, as long as I am living the most normal, blameless life, then that will show ’em. You know? You think you have to tick all these boxes. That your relationship has to look a certain way. Even if you’re—no, especially if you’re queer. There’s so much pressure to do the right thing.” ❞ ❝ The boot shape of Italy stared back at her, reminding her of Pompeii. She had roots in a disaster zone; she’d been born into it. Maybe, instead of running from it, she could stand still, face the eruption, and embrace whatever came. ❞

The Love Position by Evie Alexander
Publication date: July 23, 2024 Emlin Press Pages: 388 Genre: Romance KKECReads Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I received a copy of this book for free and leave my review voluntarily. I love how every book in this series has had such dynamic characters. But what really makes an Evie Alexander novel shine is her side characters. There truly is no role too small! I enjoyed the plot points for this…

Black History Month Resource:
Matthew Alexander Henson "A Negro Explorer at the North Pole" (1912)
In recognition of Black History Month (USA), I’ll be sharing a series of links to mostly free resources involving African-American history/literature/art. Hope you enjoy.
Matthew Alexander Henson (1866-1955) was an explorer best known for his participation in the voyages to the Arctic Circle led by Robert Peary. Their team claimed to have reached the geographic North Pole in 1909. In this book, Henson details the process of the 1908-1909 expedition. I've added it to my own "to read" list.

Familiar (12/?)
It was pissing rain. The kind of downpour that made the browning leaves on the trees overhead droop and curl under the weight of the constant onslaught. Dana was soaked through, cold even in her new wool cloak, and miserable beyond belief.
Beside her, the fox looked slightly less worse for wear as the water ran off his thick coat in stream-like rivulets.
They had been walking for over a day now in an aimless direction. It was time, Dana thought, to come up with some kind of plan. If the townspeople pursued her—which she thought likely due to Alexander’s scorching anger—they had probably long since given up. The label of ‘witch’ had likely not followed her this far from her village.
There was, however, nowhere at present to go. No towns were nearby that she could see, no bells ringing in the distance, not even another crofter’s cottage where she could wait out the weather.
Ahead there was a tall evergreen tree, and she stepped under it and onto the fragrant needles littering the forest floor. It was drier here, but the rain still collected and dropped. Fox sat primly next to her and as she looked down at him, connecting eyes, her body gave a full-on shiver. His ears twitched and he nosed her cloak in question. “I’m cold,” she said, her teeth starting to chatter, “we need to find shelter.” She looked up at the stately tree. “Better than this.” Fox took off in a flash of damp fur, and she could only assume he was off to look for a place she could warm up. Doing her bidding. Like a familiar should. Christ, she thought. If she were a witch she would warm herself. Summon some spell that dried her clothes and conjured up a cup of warm, spiced wine.
But she was powerless. She had no magic, even if magic did exist, which, knowing her companion, she had to reluctantly accept. She lowered herself to the forest floor. Unwilling to soak the seat of her dress on the soupy wet needles, she leaned back against the trunk of the tree and pressed her weight into feet that felt like two blocks of ice.
Ten miserable minutes later, Fox reappeared. “Have you found something?” she asked him through chattering teeth.
He yipped once—the first sound she’d ever heard him make—and darted off ahead, turning to make sure she followed.
***
The cave was barely a cave at all—just a shallow recess tucked beneath a jutting rock face, sheltered from above and dry enough to feel a bit like salvation.
Dana stumbled into it and dropped her pack. “This’ll do,” she muttered. It would have to.
She scraped her wet hair out of her face and pulled Bite out so the blade wouldn’t rust. Then she began gathering what bits of wood she could find beneath the trees just outside the mouth of the cave. Everything was wet. Twigs snapped, but they wept water when she tried to light them. She scraped flint against iron, again and again, hands shaking, sparks landing and dying in the damp mass of would-be kindling.
Fox watched her from the cave mouth, unmoving. Patient.
“I just need—” she growled, striking again. “Just one spark to catch. Just one.”
But nothing caught.
Her hands were numb. Her knees were soaked. Her bones ached.
She sat back on her heels, shoulders collapsing, and stared at the sodden pile. Her throat felt thick. Her vision blurred—not from smoke, not from wind—but from the raw helplessness gnawing at her chest.
If I could will a fire into existence, she thought, I would. I would burn the forest down for just a flicker of warmth.
She stared miserably at the wet triangle of kindling, her fingers curling into fists.
And then—
A thread of smoke.
Fox lifted his head.
Dana blinked.
A soft tendril rose from the center of the pile like a hot breath sighed into cold air.
She leaned forward, not breathing. And in the same moment that a sudden pressure bloomed just behind her sternum—hot and tight and unfamiliar—a flame flared.
Real. Bright. Hungry.
It licked up the damp kindling like it was dry and seasoned and soaked in oil.
She jerked back. Her hands sparked with warmth—her fingertips tingling as though they'd brushed a hedgehog’s back. She looked down at them, then at the fire, then at Fox.
He had stood.
He padded closer, watching her, then the fire, then her again. His gold eyes were alert, calculating, but beneath it—excitement. Recognition.
“I…” she whispered. “I didn’t do anything. I just—”
But she had.
And Fox knew it.
He circled around her and then lay beside her, his fox body pressed close to hers.
Dana didn’t argue.
Her whole body still shook. Her fingers trembled. She was soaked through, head to toe, and now that the fire had caught, now that there was a small, focused ball of heat just in front of her, the cold settled into into the rest of her, into her very marrow with fresh cruelty.
Fox nosed at her hip and curled closer, tucking himself against her side. She hesitated only a moment, and then, as she’d longed to do for as long as she’d known him, she buried her hands in his damp outer fur, seeking heat. She found it just beneath his thick outer coat. It was like the warm fuzz of a young chick—plush, thick, soft.
Warmth radiated off him like a living stove. His fur wasn’t just a pelt—it was something enchanted, something meant for her.
She sank her fingers deeper.
Heat spread slowly through her frozen knuckles and down into her wrists, her arms, her chest.
The last thing she remembered before sleep took her was the sound of the fire cracking and the feel of thick, warm fur beneath her palms.
***
She woke to the sensation of movement—change.
It started beneath her fingertips, which were no longer tangled in fur but pressed flat against warm skin. Smooth. Hot. Alive.
Her eyes flew open.
Fox—not the fox—sat beside her.
She jerked upright with a gasp and snatched her hands away.
They had been under his tunic. Flat on his bare chest.
He blinked at her, unbothered. His hair was damp and pushed back from his face, but the autumn-colored tunic he wore was dry—laced only halfway, and he wore dark breeches underneath. The fire beside him made his skin glow.
“Leave them,” he said calmly, watching her. “Your hands are like ice.”
She flushed, full and fast.
“No. I—no.” She scrambled backward slightly and tucked her hands under her arms. Her pulse thudded in her ears.
Fox didn’t press.
But he watched her in that way of his—quiet and unblinking.
The fire burned low but steady. But her clothes were still soaked and her body still shivered.
Fox frowned, as if just seeing her again.
“Do you have any other clothes?” he asked.
Dana reached for her satchel. Opened it. Rifled through her old cloak, the linen shift, the extra pair of socks, the bundled chemise. The blanket from the monastery, wet and useless.
All of it was soaked.
She didn’t need to answer.
“You need to take your clothes off,” he said simply, “so we can dry them.”
Her head snapped up. “Absolutely not.”
“There’s no heat in them,” he replied. “You’re going to get sick.”
She glared at him, her whole body shaking now. She hated that he was right.
He seemed to sense her hesitation. He stood–only able to stoop under the low overhang of the rock–and gestured toward the open air just outside the cave. “I’ll leave you to your privacy.”
“No!” she said, more forcefully than she meant to. “Then you’ll be wet, cold, and miserable as well.”
He paused. Looked at her.
She was certain her lips were blue. Her teeth chattered.
Without a word, he stripped off his tunic and handed it to her.
“Take off your clothes,” he said gently. “Lay them out on those rocks. And wear this.”
He kneeled and turned his back.
The cave was too small to offer real privacy. But he didn’t peek. Didn’t shift.
Dana hesitated—then slowly, cautiously, peeled off her soaked boots and garments. She watched him like a hawk as she undressed, but he didn’t turn around. Not once.
His back was smooth and muscled, faint scars trailing down one shoulder. He was strong, lean and powerful.
She laid her clothes on the rocks and finally pulled his tunic over her head.
It was still warm. Still smelled like him—woodsy, wild, clean. Something like pine and something like smoke.
She curled up, pulled her knees to her chest, and wrapped the fabric over the top of them like a cocoon.
“I’m decent,” she said.
He turned around—and Lord help her, he was magnificent.
Wide shoulders. Strong chest. Muscles that moved like coiled rope beneath skin. A trail of dark hair disappeared below the edge of his breeches. His eyes met hers, and she quickly looked away, heat rushing to her cheeks.
He sat beside her in the only space there was—close. Almost too close.
“Are you warming?” he asked.
“I am,�� she said, though her feet were freezing.
He looked down at them as if he had read her mind—pale and bare and poking out from beneath the hem of his tunic on her body.
“May I?”
She hesitated—then nodded, lifting her feet toward him, her misery outweighing her sense of propriety.
He took them in his hands, large and warm, and began to rub.
She had to twist slightly to face him, lift her legs, and she realized with a flash of panic that he might be able to see up the edge of the tunic.
But then his thumbs pressed into the arch of her foot and she moaned.
Her head fell back. “God.”
Something flashed in his eyes.
She felt it—low in her belly, hot and startling.
And she did not pull away.
