#adding stuff to My List™ .. (spreadsheet)

Sissel's FFCC Master Post

I've decided that instead of having a mile-long pinned post, I've organised everything nicely and neatly (imo). I have other stuff I want to add, but if you have any suggestions on anything I should include feel free to say something!

The Official Goods/Scanned Works Archive Internet Archive Page Books Translation Progress Spreadsheet FFCC Remastered Assets (Missing maps and weapons models, will be uploading those Soon™, BGM tracks recently added) Merchandise Master List (Incomplete rough draft)

Misc: Should anything happen to tumblr any time soon, I can be found on Neocities (currently suffering through reworking site code), Bluesky, and (every once in a blue moon) on Twitch. I haven't made my decision yet but I might eventually close up shop on Neocities and switch over to somewhere else, either Nekoweb or buy a domain and find a webhost

Hello! First off, I just want to thank you for all your book recommendations; they're giving me both life and a very long list of what to read next!!! I have two questions and two recommendations. First, have you read Atlas Six? It popped up on amazon and I am very curious. Also, The Raven Cycle is good??? I've always wanted to read it but feared it would kinda suck. Ok, recommendations: The Empirium Trilogy is pretty badass, and Daughter of Smoke and Bone series! Both have unique concepts!

Hey, thanks for saying nice things! Particularly about me shouting into the void while reading every single YA fantasy and ridiculous sports stories I can find. At some point, I became, like, a half-book blog and it's nice to know that me screaming about absurd plots is not falling on totally deaf ears.

To answer your first question: I have not, but I would very much like to read Atlas Six. It seems entirely in my wheelhouse of things I would enjoy. The only problem here is that I am an snob™ who does not want to get left hanging by books in unfinished series. So, it's absolutely on the list (which is now a literal list, seriously) but I need a promise of payoff to jump in.

Second question, and fair warning, this might get a bit long because The Raven Cycle was—well, let's say it's a weird series. I really enjoyed it, but this is one of those very "JUST BECAUSE THE CHARACTERS ARE TEENAGERS DOES NOT MAKE IT A YA" instances y'know? Like, everyone was very much in high school with some HIGH SCHOOL problems, but they were also way more concerned with the ancient Welsh king possibly buried in their small Virginia town. And, like, the end of the world. Things I enjoyed about The Raven Cycle include, but are not limited to:

The absolutely immaculate vibes — passably creepy, weirdly magical, it felt like middle-of-nowhere Virginia.

MARAUDERS FEELINGS. If someone told me that this was originally conceived as Marauders fic I would be, like, yeah that checks, actually

Just generally accepted magic. No one questioned it. It just was.

Speaking of magic, there was a crazy magical forest that was (occasionally) confusing to understand what was going on in, but was also like it's own character. So, that was fun.

Richard Gansey III, my beloved.

Different POVs. Sometimes that can be confusing and a little annoying, but these, I thought, added to the story.

Everything to do with Ronan Lynch. Of which there were a lot of things, some of which totally surprised me.

The prose was really pretty. Back on that whole magical kick.

It's entirely possible that I also felt like this wasn't a YA book because sometimes I was reading it and was like...wait, what is going on??? So, I like to imagine I'm not more easily confused than the average 16 year old. Because of that, it's important to know that, at times, it felt very plot-heavy too. There was a lot of stuff going on. I'm not sure that I'd ever read it again, but I really did enjoy it while I was reading it.

Both of those recommendations are on my ridiculously long Google spreadsheet of books to read! I've been wanting to read Daughter of Smoke and Bone forever, too, so that might move up the list.
