The worst part about reading the second and third Royal Ranger books is the lack of Kloof, because you know she's either too old to keep sailing or she's passed away. This is the one thing I wish Flanagan would screw the timeline up on.

Ponte da Mizarela par Bert Kaufmann Via Flickr : Ruivães - Vila Nova - Portugal Ponte da Mizarela (Bridge of Mizarela) is a medieval bridge that crosses the Rio Rabagão, between the civil parish of Ruivães (municipality of Vieira do Minho) and civil parish of Ferral (in the municipality of Montalegre), the Portuguese district of Braga. It was built in the Middle Ages and was reconstructed in the beginning of the 19th century. According to a local legend, it was built by the Devil himself. It is implemented in an escarpment, set in rocks with some altitude relative to the riverbed. It consists of a single arch with a span of 13 m (43 ft). (Wikipedia)

My thoughts on Brotherband Chronicles book 9: The Stern Chase

I didn’t have high expectations going into this one (thank The Missing Prince and Escape from Falasie for that) but it was so good.

The fact that it implies that Hal is a man whore. “But Hal wasn’t ready to settle down with one girl”. Is great

I love the Lydia and Ingvar pairing, and it is atypical how the main characters aren’t the ones to settle down first.

The fact that John Flanagan just… had a bear massacre and kill 5 people…

Ulf and Wulf being the bridesmen is so on brand and amazing.

They don’t have beards though, in my mind the entire crew is still 16.

The oar ramming is always my favorite move they make.

Erak’s hilfman isn’t Borsa anymore… that’s sad. But Erak threatening a sanction and a blockade? Amazing.

And Hal locking Jesper in the storage room to avoid a saga was my favorite scene. It’s the Skandian version of ‘hold my beer’.

Kloof and Erak’s relationship has progressed so much.

Overall 9/10. It had enough story for the plot if that makes sense. Escape from Falasie had too much plot for the story and The Missing Prince had not enough story in it.

De voortschrijdende digitalisering heeft de manier waarop we informatie consumeren en delen drastisch veranderd. Terwijl sommigen zich moeiteloos aanpassen aan deze technologische ontwikkelingen, zijn er nog steeds mensen die niet of moeilijk online kunnen zijn. Om deze groep toegang te geven tot de digitale wereld, is er een revolutionair nieuw object ontwikkeld: het BOEK. De naam BOEK is een…

The Creation of a Physical Copy of Coming Home (But Not to You) - The complete summary

Since, I promised I would update this as soon as I started working on it and boy, has it been several hours of me trying to learn how to use Microsoft word, hundreds of songs in my Jayvik playlist and perhaps, a small minor emotional breakdown. I have gotten Coming Home (But Not to You) formatted for bookbinding.

I hope @lesbianherald knows that they have not only written about 678 pages of a glorious and beautiful story but when in book format, that comes out to be 340 pages which is bigger than Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare (which.. you out wrote him twice). I swear, I promised to update you and that’s literally all I have besides a minor practice signature before I venture out to find a book suitable to hold the piece and paper that looks a tad more vintage.

The first draft pages in word looked like this, this was also MY final concept before I went out of my way to make a little page design in procreate. (Featured later)

The Artist featured also gave me permission to use this for this personal project. Please, check them out with this link here: X (their art is gorgeous)

Okay, we’ve settled on some covers. Might be wondering why I didn’t want to make one from scratch? I didn’t want to weather it, personally. It’s a lot more work and the threading and binding itself is going to take most of my time. I’m working on A4 (Actually, it ended up being smaller than A4 at about 11 by 8.25 but when folded it’s 5.5 by 8.25) paper format, having to adjust my measurements as we go because they were drastically different in the word document. I edited some of the features of the pages and actually sketched out a design for my Cricut to use for the cover and chapter page emblems for just a little personal flare!

I actually went to the thrift store and broke apart books that werent in use to provide me a proper book board because the ones I had were too thick! Reuse and recycle, baby! (All for the power of Jayvik)

A little thing about this project is that I actually bought weathered paper for this! Yeah, that.. it didn’t end up coming LMAO. I did buy some book corners for some metal flare. The hexcore design I drew out, myself, in procreate and also cut out in Cricut (thank you, TikTok tutorials).

A little fact as well; I haven’t bookbinded in 3 years! My books when I started were actually GOD awful— which is also part of why I chose a base book frame because that was my biggest weakness when it came to this. The binding itself was actually the easiest part to me when I started! I kid you not, I did very much come out of retirement because of Jayvik. I wanted a physical book I could mark and leave notes on, so why not make it myself? I’m extremely thankful, I got permission to do this and plan on doing this with another one of my favorite Jayvik fanfictions once it is completed, so perhaps… maybe. I don’t know, after I had gotten all the signatures out I had realized that the book covers used WERE TOO SMALL! This is the book before pressing for over 48 hours and in a middle of a snowstorm!

And the book is binded! I had used wax thread which is already thicker and way more durable and actually made for bookbinding. It has already had about two layers of glue on the binding but I tend to do about four just for extra strength and protection. It should be going in the book in about a day or two, which will lead to the final update of this!

It took me about three well-spread out days, six hours of actual sewing and teaching myself how to use a curved needle without violently stabbing my skin but I was able to get the box-stitch in.. I tried to even out the layers as I had binded too fast in one part and two signatures ended up being uneven, whoops. I fixed that with a tap of a literal hammer (No pun intended) but this was truly an experience. The parts with the open black page on front is when the stitching was glued and the book pages were placed on. This also meant I had the actual book for it to sit in ready. Which was crazy to think about.

Would you believe me if I told you I measured this all by eye and had to cut the pages four different ways to make this book actually become a book. The next paragraphs will be glamor shots. Thank you for sticking with me— encouraging me on this because of my LACK of experience in this entire field and prayers for my poor fingers.

And we’re here, it’s finished and settled. Here are the glamor shots. I do plan on doing more bookbinding in the future as I DID enjoy the process but folding and making signatures will forever be my enemy. Here’s the glamor shots and underneath the cut is all my reactions and build up to finishing this monster of a book.

A couple things, I never want to do this again. If I ever do a fanfiction THIS big again. I’m spilting it into two books, perhaps even three depending on how big it is. The symbol on the front is the Piltover symbol, I tried to find Jayce’s Talis house symbol and THERES NOTHING, I literally tried drawing and everything. My Cricut didn’t want to cut it and trust me, I tried for over three hours with the symbol.

What only matters is that I think it’s cute. I think the simplicity and mix of tears added to the final design a lot more than I thought it would.

If I ever do this again. (Knowing me, I will.) I plan on revisiting this, probably make another version when I have more bookbinding knowledge under my belt LMAO, but enjoy this lengthy post. I’m now going to go to bed.

Also huge shout out to my Zelda art book for being my primary book press for this entire thing. I really need a book press.
