heyy! can u please reccomend some books about yearning/struggling/fighting for power? thanks <3
im an asoiaf and the folk of air fan and need more books with the *i'm little but i'm coming for the crown* energy)
Hello! (sorry for responding a little late)
‘Yearning, struggling, fighting for power’ books, hmmm 🤔 let's see.
The Bear & The Nightingale | Katherine Arden - a coming of age story (the winternight trilogy) with a badass female protagonist. Some yearning and a hell lot of struggle on the way to fighting for power. [Russian Folklore, Historical Fantasy]
Carry On | Rainbow Rowell - I think it covers all the three things you asked for, even though it's not very plot driven, so like, the fight for power isn't heavy (compared to tfota) and it's aka. Simon Snow trilogy. [Fantasy]
Vicious | V. E. Schwab - book 1 in Villains trilogy with only two books out (book 2 has an open ending; doesn't end on a cliffhanger) I can't say you'll find yearning here (depends on what you think as you read) but there's definitely a fight for power, rivalry and struggle. [thriller, mystery, fantasy]
A Darker Shade of Magic | V. E. Schwab - too freaking much a fight for power by side characters (who do have a pov) with some inner struggle and a little yearning. [Historical Fantasy]
The Song of Achilles | Madeline Miller - a standalone retelling with enough yearning and struggle as well as a fight for power which might end up breaking your heart or maddening you. [Greek mythology retelling]
Lovely War | Julie Berry - a standalone book with loads of struggle and yearning. It's set in world war I so there's that (but not a personal fight for power). [historical fiction, greek mythology]
To Poison a King | S. G. Prince - a fairytale-like setting in which you'll find the protagonist's struggle as well as yearning. There's a fight for power in there too (but again, not as heavy as tfota, and not the fmc’s) [Fantasy]
I'm already responding late to this so here's a few I could think of right away and I'll definitely add more later if I remember any. Thanks for the ask!

The Cheap Detective (1978)
"Mr. Peckinpaugh? You look startled."
"Oh, no, it's just that, uh, you look like fourteen other dames that was here the other night."
"Yes, I know. They were my sister."
"Well, that explains the resemblance."
"Not to me. She was adopted."
"Yeah, well, so am I, but I don't look like your sister either."

Mentalist Episode of the Week (Week 9) - 2x22
The Mentalist Episode of the Week (Week 9/?) - Red Letter 2x22.
We meet Kristina Frye again which prompts Hightower to tell Jane to ask her out on the very ill-fated date in 2x23. This episode also has one of the most insane Jisbon conversations where Jane (again) pretends that Lisbon is his girlfriend so they can talk to a suspect.
Famous Guest Stars:
Eugene Byrd who played Dr Clark Edison in Bones
Melissa Fumero who played Amy Santiago in Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Rick Hoffman who played Louis Litt in Suits
Favourite Quotes:
'You almost had me with the "can't abuse my gift thing". You're very good.' Patrick Jane
'She has a gun too. And handcuffs.' Patrick Jane

Those who don't know, I am obsessed with Holly Jackson's books. Pip and Ravi my hearts! I took up Five Survive by Holly Jackson at 6:14 pm today and ended it by 3:12 am.
SPOILERS BELOW
And my thoughts:
FUCK YOU OLIVER. I WOULD HAVE PHYSICALLY STRANGLED YOU!
Red needs a Pip in her life.
First the text and now the letter. Holly stop.
The mfn twist! I loved that woman at the beginning, you fucking bitch.
Arthur, my love, you might not be Ravi but you'd be best friend with him in another universe obsessing over how smart your girls are
I thought I hated Max Hastings the most but boy Oliver, you made him look like a fucking saint.
Maddy a real one. Sad that she doesn't have any family left with her mother and brother dead but at least she has Red, Simon and Reyne.
Simon, sir, I love you with all my heart. The realest one among all. I love your lame jokes too.
Reyne, girl you deserve better.
Haah! This book was.....mindfucking good, not as good as AGGTM but a twisted fuckery that I will always think off.
AGAIN, RED SHOULD MEET PIP ATLEAST ONCE. THEY WOULD BOND SO HARD.
Okay, so three things that is three things that are bugging me.
1. Why was the curtain pattern mentioned so much?
2. Why was the RV being 31 foot mentioned so many times?
3. Who voted the second yes????
