Notable Books Read in 2024

Notable Books Read in 2024 @maryrussell.bsky.social

Once again it’s been a great year for reading books, which is my other major passion besides gaming. Last year I did a “5 Great Books Read in 2023” post, but this year I’m going to turn it on its head a slight bit. I read a lot of really interesting books this year! So I’m going to do more than five and divide them into History and Fiction (I didn’t really read much notable non-fiction that…

Montmartre, Paris, France: Montmartre is a large hill in Paris's northern 18th arrondissement. It is 130 m high and gives its name to the surrounding district, part of the Right Bank. Montmartre is primarily known for its artistic history, for the white-domed Basilica of the Sacré-Cœur on its summit, and as a nightclub district. Wikipedia

I just need to share the cutest moment in First’s latest TikTok video (who knew we have First being a prolific tiktoker nowadays?)

Anyway…First was playing “my favourite GMMTV boys” - his bestie never came up as a choice…and so when Khao curiously came up to see what’s going on….First of course chose him right away 😭…the face bump into Khao’s shoulder 🥹🥹🥹🥹

I think all the nations are very beautiful. Their beauty isn't just in their physical appearance, but also their character, their feelings, their 'auras'. I don't think they're these cold, uncanny entities that are unrecognizable or unknowable to humans. Rather, I think they are very human, but a sort of beautiful, magnetic version man you only find in literature.

I think France in particular would be a modern day Aphrodite figure. Beautiful in appearance and soul alike. His big brother characterisation shows him to be a little vain but also very concerned with supporting fellow nations.

Your see it's not just his long blonde hair and his soft downturned eyes framed with fair lashes; nor is it his clear complexion, blushed with the pink of spring; it's not his perfect proportions, his small waist and broad shoulders and long legs. Because even when the economy is down and Paris falls into shades of grey he's still lovely. His skin is paler, hair a little longer, bones a little sharper, eyes deep set - wraith-like almost. But in the end it's just editorials to runways because France is so kind and so willing to love, he can't be anything other than beautiful.

I love France a lot. He's very old and so he knows a lot more about the world and other people than others, but he hides this wistfulness behind a veil of light-heartedness and flamboyance. He's a character with a lot of conviction whereas most people his age would turn to apathy. With conviction comes mistakes: he gets things wrong still, hurts those in attempts to love them - all because he cares enough to try.

Though I think he's old enough that he struggles to love like he used to; can't commit himself to one person, they die so quickly you see. He's a bit like an old maid, not concerned with passionate, fleeting love affairs, he instead choses to love the whole world. It's volunteer work and chatting with the elderly, part-time jobs at cafes and flower shops, its sitting alone on his Paris balcony in the evenings, drinking wine and thinking about past lovers.

miserable coward lies down; cries about it; repeats.

the sigh of annoyance was meant to be loud, it was certainly heard from the corner evie was changing in. she turns her head slightly to see if kassandra is also decent and when she doesn't see a whole lot of skin, she turns completely, holding out her arms to emphasize the new outfit she's wearing. " look at this, i feel like an object of desire. "

Kassandra had just finished fastening the black vest, the silk fabric hugging her frame just right while still giving her the means to move around as needed. The sigh was an audible knife cutting through the quiet of dusk and immediately grabs the immortal's attention. She knows exactly what it was about, too. Turning to face the younger assassin, she bites the inside of her cheek.

She wants to say something, gods does she want to say something. Instead, she just smiles and holds her tongue for the moment.

"If any of them so much as leers at you, I'll free them of their eyes." She says, throwing the red coat over her outfit. "For what it's worth, I think you look great, but I would never see you as simply an object to ogle over."
