Any Master fans listen to this series and is it worth it? I've held off because the picture looks bad to me idk. Was it great or just okay? Compared to War Master? I would like to hear opinions, thank you ❤️

Can we all agree that Boltons would dress like this?
Like, their outfits are always on a thin line between swag and tacky, and I love it.
#asoiaf#house bolton#such a bolton thing#i too would wear that#don't judge a book by its cover but sorry if my cover is golden and sparkly and perfect that's just marketing gurll

Hrghggh I want this book but can only find the ugly cover version anywhere to buy, usually wouldn't be a problem if I was getting a better deal, but I just really dislike this one for some reason and can't find the good cover I know for a fact exists anywhere
#cover so bad i would judge it by it completely changes the genre/tone/vibe it gives off and i don't want that facing me#girl who hasn't read almost any of the like hundred books she's gotten in the last 3+ years: i should buy another book#impulse buying books is a disease and i'm terminal with it#because i hope one day maybe this will be the book to bring me out of the haze (probably won't be)#in 2022 i had one nice weekend where i tore through a book and wanted the sequel so bad and then one yr later when it was rekeased#i bought it right away but the stars were knocked out of alignment 😔#books

Thinking back on it, I don't think hearing "Leggo my eggo" and my brain automatically thinking of "Leggo" as "LEGO" was quite normal
#bruh that and me with cats#''oh that book has a cat on the cover? i need it''#''that shirt has cat on it? want it''#''LEGO SET WITH CAT???????? YES PLEASE''#don't judge a book by its cover but the moment it has a cat on it y'know it's about to be fire (the cat was barely in it)#lego#eggo waffles#toasty's rants

❝ don’t you dare talk to me like that. ❞ pretend im on my multi. from fenrir
andor sentence starters | @lunarcry
Retracting her hand, holding it to her chest, but...Not taking a step back. The fear and surprise that laced her face for the briefest of moments fades into her previous seriousness. Diantha even takes a step towards Fenrir - even if her arms are now stiff and unmoving - taking a deep breath and continuing.
"I'm sorry if I offended you in any way. But you have feelings too. Even if you don't want to talk about them...I saw how upset you were, and wanted to make sure you were okay. That's all." Her delivery is a little stiff, as is her whole body, but Diantha was nothing if not a genuine girl. It took ever ounce of strength in her to not cower away from all of Fenrir's hostility and bite, but she stood strong by choice. Not even in the sense that she liked Fenrir that much, but in the sense that...She knew hurt when she saw it. And they were working together, in the end, no longer true "enemies", so the hostility on Diantha's side had melted more into an...understanding worry. She's stupid for feeling that, she knows that. And she knew she would get such a reaction from such a hostile primal. But, even then...
"I just wanted you to know that I'm here if you needed somebody." That was all she could really offer her, but she was glad to do it.
#lunarcry#v: don't judge a book by its cover#( idk where this idea came from but nods nods#diantha serial hater of conflict getting a slightly strong moment (she will regret this)#but also fenrir needs friends.............but also she doesn't............but also diantha doesn't want to be her friend...........but also#standing person emoji#i feel like fenrir would hate being cared about and talked to like something was ever wrong#and diantha is like “same in a sense; but eh? it feels nice yeah?” and then fenrir eats her leg )

One Word Writing Prompts
05. Broken
The scream from the next room over caused Olina and Lyse both to vault from their chairs, racing through to the library, both half expecting to see some enemy within.
What they were met with was Nergui holding her snapped glasses and seething like neither had seen her before.
"Uh, Spongey? Are you okay?" Lyse was the first to step forward. Nergui turned to face them and held out her glasses, scowling. "Uh huh. How'd you do that?" Next came the accusing finger at - ah. A pair of Fordola's boots.
"I'll write to Sharlayan, get you a new pair," Lyse promised. Olina was about to promise to read to Nergui until they arrived when the other door to the library slammed open, revealing Fordola, weapon at the ready.
"What happened!?"
"Y-y-yyyy-y-yyyou!" Nergui growled out the word, and Olina was quick to grab around her middle before she dived on Fordola.
#wol; i didn't leave you on purpose (olina lionheart)#npc; not my sister anymore (lyse)#oc; don't judge a book by its cover (nergui orl)#npc; changing my fate (fordola)

#and i mean the worst#books#covers#don't judge by etc yes but I'm sorry covers are hugely influential in getting me to buy a book#bookblr#will this tag successfully summon fellow book folks but tumblr the way booktok does to great terror on that other site?#...no i say mostly confidently but it would be funny if it did#*for reasons*
