Oh my god, you guys!!! 😍 The Surrender paperback is going to be on the shelves at the Austin Public Library soon!

This was my first 🌟BIG🌟 goal for my debut novel, and I can't believe it's happening! When I saw this pop up, I actually got teary. 😭 This is a library nerd's dream come true. 🤓

Now I'm just biding my time until they reopen the call for local author consignments for the bookstore at Central... I'm patient, I'll be good... I'm not hopping from foot to foot and wiggling with excitement, I swear 😂

Besides the mushrooming workshop, this weekend's highlights also included my partner and I finishing a big yard work project that's been on-going since last August, and I found a complete set of the Pharmako series at my local used bookshop for less than $30.

FATE: Stranger Than Fiction - Paperback Library - 1967

Bestie do you know when and where the LT book will be available in English??

HI, FRIEND!!!!!!

honestly it's pretty hard to say, but considering the thai novel has just been released, i think that unfortunately it's not gonna be any time soon ;;;;;;

i have to admit this isn’t a topic i know much about, tho. my only experience with thai BL novels has been limited to vice versa: in this case, the official english translation came out exactly 2 months after the show ended and is available as an ebook on amazon kindle or other store apps like meb and ookbee. however, from the quick research i've been doing, this actually doesn't seem to be a very common occurrence. the amount of BL novels with a licensed english translation is still pretty meager, and it mostly seems to involve works written by popular and proficient authors like mame and jittirain (can't believe that for once vice versa enjoyers lucked out IT'S A MIRACLE)

last twilight is a bit different because, unlike most BLs where the process is the exact opposite, it was born as an original screenplay first and only afterwards got adapted into a novel. this means that GMMTV as a company is actually involved in the publishing process, which could POTENTIALLY make it easier to have an official english translation not only as an ebook but as a paperback too. this could happen only if the show got A WHOLE LOT of views tho. just as a comparison, never let me go is also an original screenplay that got adapted into a novel, but despite all parts of the show having more than 1M views, it doesn't have a licensed english translation yet

anyway, my usual ramblings aside, tl;dr: i think GMMTV is gonna wait to see how the show fares before considering whether is worth it or not making the novel available in english, so in the mean time we're gonna have to rely on fan translations 🙏

do you own any merch of your source?

yes. unfortunately however, I just own all vampire reign volumes (except for volume TWO) and a couple catastrophe at sixteen ones. so no pins, keychains etc etc.

My Holy Grail to start the next year's reading list 🥰

[dreamsofthejackal]

I couldn’t remember how or where I found it but back when I first joined tumblr I subscribed to a service that would print out your tumblr feed and send it to you as a physical booklet each week. I did it because I was scared to lose tumblr. I got this booklet that was especially think because one of the people I followed posted an entire 70 page game manual.
