TBR TAKEDOWN: Week 12 (Aug 18)

TLDR: I have too many unread books, and I’m asking tumblr to help me downsize. Pick one or none, and comment if you can - a convincing sentence is worth a dozen votes! You’re also welcome to just choose the one that sounds the worst :D Book descriptions below the cut, see my pinned post for more info.

The Rector and the Rogue by W. A. Swanberg

It began quietly enough one morning in February 1880, with a mutton-chopped Acme Safe Company salesman knocking on the door of Reverend Morgan Dix, the starchiest clergyman in Manhattan's most respectable church. The salesman was surely misdirected, Reverend Dix explained--he had no need for a safe, and he had not made an appointment. But soon after, used clothes dealers arrived, followed by heavy machinery salesmen, and soon the street filled riotously with wave after wave of solicitor-tormentors--hundreds of funeral directors, horse traders, wigmakers, fellow clergymen, doctors--all insisting they'd been summoned by the bewildered Reverend Dix. And for weeks, it continued in this manner. Reporters from every newspaper in New York camped out to watch the fun, and as the story gained national attention, police and postal officers raced to capture the gleeful prankster-cum-performance artist who was making a mockery of the esteemed Trinity Church.

A fascinating tale of detection and revenge, The Rector and the Rogue uncovers for the first time the trail of celebrated Victorian trickster "Gentleman Joe"--the mysterious con-man whose innumerable identities, wild fabrications, baffling motives, and international trail of chaos would lead to one of the most bizarre criminal cases of the 19th century.

The Incredible Adventures of Cinnamon Girl by Melissa Kiel

Alba wants to stop time so she can stay in her small town forever - but the end of the world might just force her to confront her future.

Alba loves her life just as it is. She loves living behind the bakery and waking up in a cloud of sugar and cinnamon. She loves drawing comics and watching bad TV with her friends. The only problem is she's overlooked a few teeny details. Like, the guy she thought long gone has unexpectedly reappeared. And the boy who has been her best friend since forever has suddenly gone off the rails. Even her latest comic book creation is misbehaving. On top of all that, the world might be ending - which is proving to be awkward.

As doomsday enthusiasts flock to idyllic Eden Valley, Alba's life is thrown into chaos. Whatever happens next, it's the end of the world as she knows it. But when it comes to figuring out her heart, Armageddon might turn out to be the least of her problems.

Full of Keil's trademark quirky characters and witty dialogue, readers will be hooked by Alba's romantic dilemma and the hilarious plot that links the end of high school with the end of the world.

Moth and Spark by Anne Leonard

A prince with a quest. A commoner with mysterious powers. And dragons that demand to be freed—at any cost.

Prince Corin has been chosen to free the dragons from their bondage to the Empire, but dragons aren’t big on directions. They have given him some of their power, but none of their knowledge. No one, not the dragons nor their riders, is even sure what keeps the dragons in the Empire’s control.

Tam, sensible daughter of a well-respected doctor, had no idea before she arrived in the capital that she is a Seer, gifted with visions. When the two run into each other (quite literally) in the library, sparks fly and Corin impulsively asks Tam to dinner. But it’s not all happily ever after. Never mind that the prince isn’t allowed to marry a commoner: war is coming to Caithen.

Torn between Corin’s quest to free the dragons and his duty to his country, the lovers must both figure out how to master their powers in order to save Caithen. With a little help from a village of secret wizards and a rogue dragonrider, they just might pull it off.

Can you move aquarium fish to another country? And if so, how? I mean, I know they need a filtration system. So could you put their tank in a car/moving van/trailer hooked up to a car, and hook it up to a portable generator? And would you be able to get the tank through customs?

See, I’m working on an embryonic fic. My first in well over a decade. Damn, right now the fic is terrible, and may never see the light of day. But I have writers block because I’m stuck on logistics.

But in my fic idea, Wilhelm and Simon broke up during the university years. At 29 they run into each other again, perhaps at Felice’s wedding, perhaps at some other plot device to get them in the same room. And there are still sparks. They have a quickie in a closet and after that it’s really awkward. But eventually they start talking, texting, etc. And eventually decide to give it another shot.

But in this fic idea, Simon left Sweden as soon as he graduated from the Royal College of Music, because it was too painful seeing reminders of Wilhelm everywhere in Stockholm. He bounced around Europe for a few years before settling down in Berlin. Simon’s been working there as a singer, songwriter, and music producer. And he has a tank of tropical fish he adores and wouldn’t dream of just giving away.

After he and Wille have been doing the long distance thing for a while, Simon decides to move back to Stockholm. Wilhelm wants him to move in with him at Haga, but Simon is cautious, arranges to sign a 6 month lease on an apartment of his own. If things are still working out after 6 months, he’ll move in with Wilhelm in Haga.

But he has these fish, with a specially designed custom tank that was a present from Simon to Simon when he won his first major award. I’m pretty sure he can’t fly from Berlin to Stockholm with the tank in the cargo hold. Even if the airline would agree to take it, the unheated hold and the changes in air pressure during the flight might kill his tropical fish. I don’t know that for sure, but im thinking if air pressure on flights makes people’s ears pop, what coulf it do to poor innocent Nemo.

So I devised this plan for Ayub to fly to Berlin and help Simon drive from Berlin to Stockholm, with the fish and a portable generator.

They could drive from Berlin to Kiel, then take an 14 hour overnight ferry to Gotheburg. Did you know that on long ferry trips you can book a cabin so you can sleep during the voyage? So I’m envisioning Ayub and Simon checking on the fish on the vehicle deck every so often. And then in the morning they disembark.

They drive the car and trailer, or moving van they’ve hired or whatever, from Gothenburg to Stockholm. Where they can unload the custom fish tank and plug it in at Simon’s new apartment. And unload all the other crap they’d brought all the way from Germany.

But I’m not sure if that’s even possible. Would a ferry company agree to take a tank of live tropical fish on the vehicle deck, even contained? I know you can get portable generators that are electric rather than diesel. A good solar generator with the battery fully charged could keep the filtration system ticking along for a long time before needing more sunlight to recharge.

And now I have writers block because I’m stuck on the logistics of how to transport the fish. I have already considered (and discarded) the ideas of Simon not having fish as a 29 year old. Or of him giving them away to fellow fish fanciers in Berlin. An empty, unplugged custom fish tank would be much easier to transport. But I am stubborn.

This is the fish tank I had in mind, by the way. Because in my headcanon, future Simon also has a cat. Who he got after he already had fish.

The whole custom fish tank idea is a blatant ripoff of a ficlet written by….someone on Tumblr. There was this non-royal AU where Wilhelm lives in one of the fanciest apartments in a building, while Simon has a shoebox sized apartment in the same building. Wilhelm’s cat keeps escaping out the window to visit Simon, so he assumes it’s a stray and starts feeding it. He already has a tank of fish.

Simon and Wilhelm eventually meet in person (through “their” cat), and start dating. When Simon finally moves into Wille’s ridiculously large penthouse, Wilhelm orders a custom fish tank so Simon’s fish can be safe and have plenty of room to swim around. But Wille’s cat can enjoy aquatic observation.

I should note that the fic I’m working on stole ONLY the idea of a custom fish tank and a cat and a tank of fish coexisting. The rest is different. And if you’re the person who came up with the idea of Non-Royal Wilhelm’s cat deciding to set him up with Simon, please let me know. I can edit the post to link to your fic and credit your username.

I wish athy had more female friends. Yes, the relationship with Jennette is very sweet and all that but still I would have liked that Athy had a best friend but that she was Athy's type. I mean, a grumpy, powerful, hot girl who tried to kill her and would give her the whole world to make her happy 😞

I feel like it would be a lot of fun and besides, this girl would be more competition for Lucas than Kiel.

Sounds like you would enjoy our wlw lucathy AU! /hj

But yeah I get it, I think a fairly valid criticism of wmmap is that Athy doesn't have more relationships with girls her age (she doesn't need to have them, but it would be nice, I think). The noble girls are kind of her friends, but also not really? Like the kind of friends you don't emotionally connect with in any deeper level (I mean, Athy literally feels like a mother figure to them, she straight up says it).

This is more going over the female cast's relationships with Athy, but I love how Lily, the obligatory "maid character", is treated with a lot of respect by the narrative. Despite being a minor character (especially in the manhwa, novel Lily had a bunch of other scenes), she is incredibly important to Athy, as her second (or even first?) mother. Lily is the first person to ever show Athy unconditional love, and that's why Athy immediately remembers their time together when thinking about how she didn't want to let people into her heart, but before she noticed, it was already too late. In other manhwas the "maid character" is there to 1. Be a minor villain early in the story, or 2. Fawn over the FL, which makes me appreciate Lily a lot. Hannah and Seth are also very fun with their almost "boke-tsukkomi" dynamic, and it shows how much they adore Athy. Jennette's characterization is a lot weaker than in the novel, but it's good that neither Spoon nor Plutus fell into this misogynistic narrative other manhwas have going on with any female character that's not the FL. And lastly, Diana's relationship with Athy is incredible, even if they only talked directly for a single chapter, it was one of the most impactful moments in the whole series. Don't wanna ramble about it yet again. Perfect score for you there, Spoon. Great job.

Getting back to the hypothetical female love interest topic, while I kinda get annoyed when manhwas do "yuri bait" (looking at you, Melissa manhwa, I'll never forgive you /j), I would have loved for Athy to get closer to Helena. She named her "lily girl", c'mon! They could have had such a fun dynamic, similar to how Cabel and Athy interacted (another absolutely amazing duo). That's just the little fanfic inside my head though.

Every Baby Name We Could Possibly Think Of

Naming your baby is a big decision, and with endless options, it can also be a difficult one. Whether you're going the traditional route or want something more unique (if so, read this first!) it's helpful to have a little, or a lot, of inspiration. Ahead, you'll find nearly every baby name we could think of (close to 1,000!). These aren't just random names we found in a book or concocted ourselves - they're almost all monikers we've heard being used, or we actually know someone who goes by the name.

Honored to have an edition of prints from this music series included in the new Cerritos College Art Collection. Those guys are doing it right over there. @cerritosgallery @cerritoscollege ✨✏️✨ . . . Cerritos College has officially acquired a nascent Public Art Collection of works by a group of eighteen notable contemporary artists, with future plans to continue to grow the collection in coming years. The Cerritos College Public Art Collection, is funded by the college’s substantial ‘endowment’ for public art, created in 2015. The conceptual framework for the collection focuses on placing relatively small paintings and framed works on paper around campus in various academic facilities, with the themes of the works generally related to the distinct pedagogical material covered in the adjacent classrooms. In addition, to be reflective of the campus community as a whole, the collection prominently features works by female artists and artists of color. Yesterday, at the CAPS meeting, the committee voted to acquire works by the following artists: Carolyn Castaño, Amir H Fallah, Alexandra Grant, Mark Steven Greenfield, Sean Higgins, Kiel Johnson, Virginia Katz, Nery Gabriel Lemus, Melissa Manfull, Álvaro Daniel Márquez, Hung Viet Nguyen, Christina Ondrus, Naida Osline, Julia Paull, Gala Porras-Kim, Lorenzo Hurtado Segovia, Marie Thibeault, and Jessica Wimbley.
