Shelf Control ~ 16th December, 2022 ~ City of Last Chances by Adrian Tchaikovsky #BookBlog #ShelfControl #FeauturedBook #BookTwt #Book @aptshadow @HoZ_Books

I’ve been seeing Shelf Control posts all year long (the latest one being this by Rebecca) but it’s only as the year ends I want to make my first! What is Shelf Control? Well, for starters, I don’t have any! But it’s also a tag started by Lisa at Bookshelf Fantasies and is about telling other people about the books you own (on your shelf or on your kindle) that you bought but for some reason…

So many types of books that have strong summertime associations that I spend all my time cycling through cravings for certain genres or books.

Within the last month, I have wanted to read/reread:

Jane of Lantern Hill by L.M. Montgomery

The Electrical Menagerie by Mollie E. Reeder

Valiant by Sarah McGuire

Retellings in general (especially Cinderella retellings)

Golden Age mysteries, especially Josephine Tey and Agatha Christie

The Moon-Spinners by Mary Stewart

Books set in locations that are not America or England, especially warm climates

Books set in wintery/cold weather settings

Science fiction/space opera

Superhero stories

Civil War history/Presidential history

D.E. Stevenson books (and other mid-tier vintage light fiction)

Wilkie Collins books

Graphic novels

And I'm sure there are others that I'm forgetting

everyone: *freaking out about literally everything going on this episode

meanwhile me: *trying to figure out how the hell Morio Kart supposedly works when there’s not a single button Rei constantly presses to drive

"you don't have to ship x just enjoy—" how about i ship whatever i want without some rando making it into their calling to hand out permission slips? maybe i'll enjoy the source material my way? maybe i find whimsy in shipping certain characters that others only see as platonic? what then? are you gonna steal my pillows?

I know some people question whether it's okay to laugh at the billionaires dying in the obvious death trap (not me. HA! fucking hilarious) but one thing we can all agree on is the beautiful justice that the dumb shit moron CEO of the whole company is down there and he only has himself to blame.

Hubby made the mistake of hinting that we could use the credit card...

I’m just gonna assume you’ve read Wings of Fire cause like. Dragons. Fav character and/or dragon type? I personally like Icewings, and Glory :3 (it’s been years since I’ve read the series and i never got to finish it😞😞)

oh, yeah lmao. 5th grade me saw a book with a dragon on front and could not resist! (though i also have not finished it. i have all the books but the last one remains unread bc, quite frankly, the story/quality has degraded and i couldnt get into this arc)

i'm also a big Glory fan - she was my original blorbo & my fav from the start <3 but tbh i gotta say that Sandwings are my favorite type nowadays. they're just really neat!

Afraid I must report that this TBR stack has only gotten taller since I took this picture 😅

@watchingbehindtheeyes I just got this book today at Barnes and Nobles ♥️

people keep focusing on the submarine being piloted with a wireless game controller but that's actually not the concerning part of the whole setup. its actually pretty normal

Some excellent finds in the second hand section of the bookstore today!

too many posts in the astarion tag like, "if you like astarion, it's only bc you liked [some dude character i don't give 2 shits about] first 😏"

The bookstore the poets go to every just about every weekend has a little area just for notebooks and Todd, ever the writer, can’t help himself and buys one nearly every time they go. He ends up with so many that he has to start using Neil’s desk drawers to store them because he ran out of room on his side, but still doesn’t realize he has far too many until Charlie makes a joke about it. Todd ended up kind of freaking out about it because “oh my god I’m so stupid and wasteful how am I ever gonna use all these oh my god oh my god oh my god” Once he calms down Neil promises to keep him away the next time they all go.

Self-indulgent OC moments, but Wyll would be so disappointed to actually meet Gorion's Ward in my Realms. Never meet your heroes, I guess.

It's kind of like if you took the basics of Gortash and Ascended Astarion and distilled them into a 2'11" lesbian hellbent on controlling the world so it can't hurt her anymore, who also thinks failing to return library books should be a criminal offense... I mean as a character she predates them by a decade, but eh.

having so many books i’m literally having to start a physical book and crossing off books when i read them so i have motivation to read

[swordmaid]

anyway I really do like the idea that his darling spawn shri’iia who’s whole job is to adore him forever and an eternity becomes his very undoing bc he fails to account what that would mean to her. like baby girl you just validated each and every one of her flaws and ugly side just like she validated yours. now you’re stuck with that 🫶🥰🤭
