Book Review: Zyon (Kingdoms of Pelas #1) by Michelle Frost & Michele Notaro

Frost and Notaro don’t hesitate to throw readers right into the action at the beginning of this book, in which we experience a drastic change in Theon’s life, but like him, have no idea about the reason for it. Even though the book description telegraphs his eventual (happier) circumstances, I felt his same visceral fear when he first meets Weylyn, Nica, and Braz, who are alien to Theon on so…

Review: The Human's Incubus: A Brinnswick Story 1 by Michele Notaro

Rating: 4🌈 I really enjoy Michele Notaro’s work so I immediately picked up her release, The Human’s Incubus: A Brinnswick Story 1 . It’s the first in a new series but one that’s connected with two of her other larger series, and shared universe . Those would be the Ellwood Chronicles and Brinnswick Chronicles world. Honestly, I don’t think I’ve read any of those books, but I will be after…

Cover reveal for the upcoming #TheMagiAccounts novella book 3.5 by #MicheleNotaro #AnEmbracetoHeartenMe #UrbanFantasy #MMreads #GayRomance #GayRomanceReviews #GRR #GRRblast

Releasing: August 29, 2023 I can’t seem to choose between the two shifters who mean the world to me… but what if I can have them both? Trying to navigate my feelings has never been easy. Growing up, I had to keep my emotions locked down and hidden from the world or suffer the consequences. But now, well, now I’ve had a taste of freedom, and with it, my heart has been running wild. Between…

STAR TREK: DISCOVERY // S3E10 Terra Firma, Part 2 I said you sentenced me to death when you brought me to this universe. In truth, the greater part of me was already dead. You gave me new life. And the rest of your crew isn't so bad either.

W A T C H I N G

(Season 2)

[lesbiangummybearmafia]

1 series: The Morning Show, 3 seasons, binge watched 2 nights, all episodes.

SPOILERS

My thoughts...

I'll start off by saying it wasn't what I was expecting. For some reason I thought it was comedy, boy did find out how wrong I was. However I ended up pleasantly, surprise., especially the subject matters that the series tackles. Also, interpersonal relationships at the core of the series. No matter what those relationships are co-workers, friendships, romantic relationships, just all of them. My favorite one, (which isn't always the case, depends on the series), is 💕Bradley and Laura💕. Which my heart is bleeding for right now, the writers better fix that in season 4 is all I have to say! Because as Lesbian couples go, they are the healthiest, most positive, cutest, just beautiful lesbian relationship I've ever seen portrayed in series, movie, what have you. I know it a drama... but they really need to put the lesbian couple through so much!?! First Cory outs them because the asshole man child was all jelly of Bradley being with Laura, not him, then the first time Hal shows up in NYC, Bradley's mom dying of covid, she pushes Laura away and said all those horrible things to her, than they get back together only have Hal's bullshit on January 6th basically throw a bomb in the middle of their lesbian love! 😭💔😭 Omg I cried so many times throughout the whole 3 seasons, but especially for everything Laura and Bradley were put through.

Then going back in time to moments that weren't that long ago, but change our history. Was odd, but a important reminder especially this close to the election. Cast just insanely great who they got to be in it. I also just love how many of the producers, writers and directors for the series are women. That both Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston are exclusive producers on the series also. It's just a well rounded series.

I want season 4 now!! I don't want to have to wait until 2025 for it. I'm so impatient!

9 People You’d Like to Know More

tagged by @wen-kexing-apologist and @thewayofsubtext  <3

Tumblr keeps eating every draft of this post that I write, argh! 

Last Song I Listened To

When I started writing this, I was being lazy and letting the YouTube algorithm pick songs for me and I was listening to this song, Unfucktheworld by Angel Olsen. I've been exchanging song recommendations with a friend for a while now and I guess she has gotten to know me pretty well because this is way up my alley.

But then another song came on--We Ride by Brave Girls (a.k.a. BB Girls)--and that became the new last song I listened to. It's another song that a friend recommended to me. This time it was a friend I've been emailing with back and forth about East Asian pop music. He's a big fan of City Pop, a genre that came out of Japan in the 80s, and he sent me a list of some recent kpop songs that are influenced by/reminiscent of City Pop, including this one. I took to it right away, and it was a big hit with my daughter. 

Currently Watching

I Told Sunset About You - I’m just one episode in to this one and I can already tell it’s going to hit me where it hurts. I took a break due to family visits and related stuff but I’m fixing to dive back in. 

Moonlight Chicken - I got stalled out on this one just as it was getting good, thanks to some life stuff. I need to pick it back up!

Star Trek: Discovery - I’m a big Star Trek fan and recently rewatched everything from TNG through Voyager, but I hadn’t kept up with any of the newest series in years. I’m so glad I decided to start Discovery because it is shaping up to be one of my favorite Star Trek series. There are a lot of reasons for this. Really great LGBT+ representation is a factor. This is also is the first Star Trek series that has inspired more actor crushes in me than DS9. Michelle Yeoh in a corset! Tig Notaro as a cranky engineer! I’m dying over here. 

Minato's Laundromat season 2 - I was looking forward to this as soon as it was announced, but with the usual anxiety that comes with a second season of a BL. I wasn’t 100% sure about the direction of the season at first, but now it’s settling in with some really interesting themes. 

Reservation Dogs - I wasn’t entirely sure about this show when I first started watching during the first season. But not only did it grow on me, it has also been getting better and better. The latest episode, which focused in part on an abusive government-sponsored boarding school (of the sort designed to rob Indigenous kids of their culture), was one of the best of the series so far. 

Edited to add: I forgot about Kamen Rider Geats! My family has been catching up on it and we're almost caught up just in time for the finale. I'm liking it a lot more than I thought I would when I watched the first few episodes, but not as much as my partner (who said he thinks it's one of his favorite Kamen Rider series he's seen). I'm really impressed with the cast, though. I'd especially like to see the actors who play Keiwa and Buffa in more things in the future.

Currently Reading

I’ve been listening to the audiobook version of The Method: How the Twentieth Century Learned to Act by Isaac Butler for a while now, but I’m having an annoying situation where it keeps getting returned to the library even though I’ve renewed it. I could just start another book, but I don’t want to! This one is really interesting. 

The vast majority of people spend a significant amount of their time watching (non-documentary) movies and TV series, which involves watching actors engage in this specific art form. And we have opinions about what constitutes good or bad acting. Yet most of us know so little about how acting is done, what kinds of theories underpin acting practice, how actors prepare for roles and scenes. I wanted to not only find out more about that, but also dig a little deeper into the differences between approaches and how they’ve branched off and clashed and so forth. 

So far I’ve gotten a lot of good background and plenty to think about, even though I’m just getting to the point where the Method/System/whateveryoucallit is starting to take on in the US. I’m guessing it’s going to get even more relevant from there.

Current Obsession

I’m always obsessing about lots of things so I’m probably never going to be able to identify just one. Some currents ones are:

waiting for Utsukushii Kare: Eternal to be available with English subtitles somewhere, somehow

foraging blackberries, making jelly out of them, and baking biscuits to go with the jelly

waiting for it to be fall already because I hate sweating and I love wearing layers

finding my Animal Crossing character some decent glasses

thinking about possible BL/Jane Austen parallels for tumblr posts

finishing a post about psychological aspects of Utsukushii Kare that I’ve been writing off and on for months and that has gotten so long it will probably have to be split up into 3-4 posts

Serge Lutens Jeux de Peau perfume (my beloved)

I didn't tag anyone. It makes me anxious and I think pretty much everyone I know on here has been tagged! Except @porridgefeast, who's welcome to do it if she feels like it but (of course) no pressure.

Review: The Wolf's (Un)Lucky Fae (a Fortune Favors the Fae story) by Michele Notaro

Rating: 4.5 🌈 Well this is an absolutely splendid addition to the Fortune Favors the Fae series. I loved how Michele Notaro adapted her Brinnswick universe into this series, by means of that mischievous wayward fae coin. While its personality doesn’t really come into play as it has in a prior tale, that coin is still the means through which unlucky fae Belryn Bizidor meets wolf shifter…
