Immediately forgets everything that happened in June. Uh. I threw a tea party! Finished a knit hat! Did one (1) queer corvid piece! Started playing baldurs gate! Read some good books! SAW SOME SANDHILL CRANES!!!! Found new enrichment in the form of a new walking route! A busy busy month! Didn't read as much as I intended, but I did get to check off five more books on my Reading Books I Own chart so I call that a win.
The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi by Shannon Chakranorty ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐- WHAT A FUN BOOK! "Adventure" is the perfect word for this. Yes, it's a trilogy with only one book out, but this also works so well on its own, as individual books SHOULD! It's its own little thing. Wrapped up neat and tidy with little threads to pick up in the future. I had so much fun and the audiobook was a DELIGHT, I want to read it again immediately.
The Novice by Taran Matharu ⭐- This has been sitting on my shelf since its release. It moved homes with me. It will not be doing so again. Bland, generic, poorly written. Proof just because you were an internet success, doesn't mean you don't need an editor. Also proof that publishing is about Luck and Connections. I know goodreads ratings mean Nothing, but come on. Why is this one so high. Did people really enjoy it that much? HOW??
Translation State by Ann Leckie ⭐⭐⭐⭐- Okay. Look. This was not my favorite Leckie novel. In fact it very well could by me least favorite Leckie novel. HOWEVER. Even then, it was still fun and enjoyable. I wish it ended differently, but I still loved all the characters and how they interact. I do want to reread this as well, because I remember enjoying Ancillary Justice more the second time around and I wonder if the same will happen here.
What Moves The Dead by T Kingfisher ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - A reread! To get ready for What Feasts At Night! Even knowing all the secrets, it's still a perfectly bite sized creepy read. My favorite thing about Kingfishers writing is how even with the darkest subjects she still manages to add humor. And it never seems out of place! It's a great breather for the reader but doesn't detract from the tension. Do not recommend reading this while walking through a field of bunnies.
What Feasts At Night by T Kingfisher ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - I gave What Moves The Dead four stars at my initial read through, so I wonder if this will ALSO change to five stars upon rereading. I had to read the first few chapters twice for them to stick, and ended up switching to the audiobook which was very well done. I really didn't expect another book about Alex Easton, but I'm hooked now to be honest. I mean, stop putting this soldier in Situations, but also. I want to know what other Situations ka gets into. Angus and Miss Potter are adorable.
The library has a few summer reading games with prizes so my reading in the upcoming months will be influenced by those. Someone said there might even be a local bookstore gift package in the mix and I Want That. I do still want to do the Bone Season updated read, if for no other reason than to get rid of those books so I don't have to pack and move them. Other than that, no reading plans. I've read nearly every book that's on the shelf in my bedroom, which, wow, so it's getting harder to choose what to read. I guess that's a good thing! Leaves more room to reread old favorites.

jealous girl
I listened to jealous girl by Lana del Rey while making this.
Warnings: angst, female reader, slightly toxic Regina, me being corny
Original work by @agustiscoquette
NOT PROOFREAD
I was assigned to tutor Karen Shetty, that's not the problem I was already close with Karen because of her being friends with Regina my girlfriend.
Me and Karen were doing virtually nothing cause we both knew, tutoring but not help not one bit. Karen was rambling about all her hello Kitty stuff to me (it's a headcanon of mine that she likes hello Kitty).
As time progressed I realized Karen isn't actually all that bad. We started spending more and more time together, she's actually not mean neither is Gretchen Regina's the one who makes them mean.
But it's whatever Regina's my girlfriend she's always nice to me, one day Regina pushes me into a empty classroom pressing kisses and hickeys on my neck.
"g-gina I'm s-supposed to meet up with k-karen."
She stops kissing and looks at me.
"oh so Karen matters so much, fine then."
"no gina that's not what I mean, and you know it damn well."
I say in a slightly annoyed tone, I mean it gets annoying after a bit. Her being jealous and me not being able to do anything without her.
"hang out with Karen without me again and I'll punish you am I heard."
(chat I know I'm corny)
Me and and my submissiveness
"y-yes ma'am."
"good girl."
She says with a smirk.
"Now can I i-mean we, go tutor Karen."
"Of course darling."
She says.

Ooohh yeah, the Ides of March, the March with the Ides
The Senate said “I am the Senate” and just Senate’d all over the place
“E tu Brute” meets “bro what if we held hands and kissed while stabbing Caesar in the middle of the Senate?”
The event kickstarted by Aya
Disregarding what the Soothsayer said with your bestie
Trying to take power back for 2,057 years

Happy 20th anniversary to one of the most iconic movies ever - Mean Girls! :D This classic film came out on April 30, 2004, and it's still a fan favorite two decades later. It's so popular that it's gotten a Broadway musical, a sequel movie, and most recently a musical movie reboot. I just had to break out dolls for this! And thanks to the Mini Brands Books, the infamous Burn Book was also available! (I made my own version, though, because I wanted it to be open without getting it stuck that way, plus mine has the lips on the back lol, plus mine is bigger!)
Here we have four (appropriately plastic) ladies wearing the iconic pink (today may not be Wednesday but you can never be too pink!) They're not meant to resemble the characters, really, apart from hair color lol. First up is reading that Burn Book - or perhaps adding entries to it!
I also had to get some model shots of these fierce gals. :D Beware of The Plastics!
