More books!!

[unluckytech]

Picked up a new book

So I've been reading the Disney twisted tales series and they've started adapting some of the books into graphic novels: Part of your world, Straight on till morning, and next year Almost there. Straight on till morning had its graphic adaptation release a month ago and I don't think I've gone through a book this fast in years. I got it from the nearest Barnes and Noble to my house, and read it fast enough that my mom was worried that I wouldn't get $20 dollars worth out of it.

I want to wait and decide on an in depth review on this one and others that I've read but if anyone wants to talk on them feel free.

Tony scraped his hand over his face. “Am I that obvious?” “Only to people who know you.” “Carol. Every single senior officer on this ship knows me.”

Tony is resigned to not being able to keep a secret (chp. 2)

Tony Stark resigned his commission in Starfleet five years ago, after a disastrous away mission, and he swore he’d never go back. He just wants to be left alone to build warp engines in peace. But the universe has more in store for him than that, as he discovers when Admiral Fury comes to him with an offer he could never have expected and cannot possibly refuse: first officer and chief engineer aboard the all-new USS Avenger, a starship of Tony’s own design. What’s more, the Avenger’s captain is Steve Rogers, hero of the Earth-Romulan War. Believed dead for over a century, Steve is miraculously alive… and very, very attractive.

But nothing is ever easy for Tony. As he wrestles with his secret desire for his new captain and his not-so-dormant fears, another mission starts to go wrong, and Tony becomes aware that Steve has secrets of his own -- and the truth could change everything.

I watched Star Trek VI for the first time last night and I'm unexpectedly emotional about it. I've been enjoying TOS and all of the movies, but it hasn't gripped my heart like Enterprise did. I was just looking forward to checking this off the list so we could move on to TNG but...damn, this movie hit me so hard in the chest that I can't breathe.

Happy tears, sad tears. I'm gone through so much with this crew and it hit me that besides Generations, this is it. I love this crew and I'm going to miss them as I move forward along the timeline.

This is my favorite out of the original Star Trek movies and I can't exactly articulate why. All I can say is that I freakin' love Star Trek so much!

Captain’s Log, Stardate 9529.1 . This is the final cruise of the Starship Enterprise under my command. This ship and her history will shortly become the care of another crew. To them and their posterity will we commit our future. They will continue the voyages we have begun, and journey to all the undiscovered countries, boldly going where no man… Where no one has gone before.

A Year in (Book) Review: My 2024 Reading Journey 📚

#7 - Straight on Till Morning by Liz Braswell

Fantasy / Twisted Tales #8 / 363 pages / published 2019 / Finished Jan. 14

One Sentence Review: A surprising contender for one of my favorite books in the series, Straight on Till Morning takes the focus off of Pan - and the patriarchy - and puts it on Wendy and Tinkerbell, and it reminds us that Neverland will always have monsters as long as the real world stays broken.

Favorite Quotes

"She didn't need to see her scars to know that they were real."

*

"There was no room for weakness or second thoughts in a hero, and if nothing else, Wendy had to be the hero of her own soul."

*

"She felt a little stirring of self-recrimination: Why hadn't she even thought things like this before? Why hadn’t she even noticed the invisible prison she was in? 'Because,' she told herself gently, 'I've never been able to fly before.'"

*

"Are things broken here? Save this world. Then go back to your own broken world and fix it. Perhaps we shall be mended as well."

*

"'Do as thou wilt,' Slightly quoted back at her. 'We wiln't.'"

My rating: 5/5

A Few More Thoughts (Spoilers)

It was so much better than I thought it would be! Though I nearly rated it 4/5 because of how much I hated the witch, the rest of the book was so solid that I had to keep it at 5.

I was surprised that Peter Pan himself was only in the last quarter of the book, and amazed at how okay I was with that. I also delighted in the depth of the narrative, and the idea that in order Neverland to be better, we must work to make our own world better. I was also far more invested than expected in Wendy and Tink's friendship.

I love how Neverland may be a place where dreams come true - but not all dreams are good dreams, which is why until cruelty and hunger and hate and abuse are no longer a problem in the real world, there will always be monsters in Neverland. (Also, Hook doesn't hate Pan or fear the crocodile, but rather is chasing his youth and is running away from the passage of time as well.)

My new book arrivals!

Also, I officially own a library's worth of books 😳 (I have 1,103 books currently). Granted, most of them are Manga, but still.

@reddrakebird:

If there was one thing Conner Kent could put his mind to - it was sulking. If there was a world record for the number of days spent wallowing in self-pity, Kon was fairly certain he could win it outright out of sheer stubbornness. During the disaster in Metropolis, Kon had spent the entire day rescuing people from the destruction of his own rage manifested. Finally, Kal had placed his hand on his back and told him to go home. But where was home? Kon didn't know anymore. He was starting to doubt everything all over again. Hurt tugged at his heartstrings like a grappling claw from an arcade machine. Humiliation crawled up the back of his throat. Stupid boy. He spent the next several days on the moon, wanting to isolate himself from everything and everyone, lost in self-deprecating thoughts. But there it was safe to kick at the dust, pull off his shades and just yell; eyes heating up as he shot heat-vision far off into space. Screaming where nobody could hear you. It was ugly. It was lonely. But most of all it was cathartic. Memories replayed in his head; those blue saddened eyes haunting him 384,400 km away. Eventually, he had to go back to the farm. Ma would worry about him. Ma worried about everyone. And sooner or later, Krypto would track him down and then he'd have to deal with talking to Kal about his feelings. Hard pass. Kon eventually headed down to the Kent farm, spending lunch with Ma reassuring her that he'd be fine - just on a mission with his friends. It was a white lie, and one he wasn't sure she entirely bought but she didn't probe further and he appreciated that. Eventually, he got out his phone to check on Bart. That's when the number of missed calls and messages hit him; a perfect twenty. How very like Tim. His stomach wavered as he clicked on the notification, scrolling up to read from the top. At first his eyes rolled, breath hardened as Tim asked if he was okay, then a few messages later if he wanted to talk. But the more he scrolled, the more he felt his chest tighten until eventually he crumbled and messaged the other man a simple, short text back. He busied himself helping out the farm with iits chores the rest of that afternoon before heading inside to grab a shower in he early evening. Taking the time to wash the grime off his skin, Kon got out (this time with a towel wrapped around his waist), heading to Kal's old room, which had temporarily become his when the Kents unofficially adopted him. He pulled out a fresh costume and grabbed his jacket, fixing his hair in the mirror, before doing up his boots and belt and sticking his shades securely onto his face. He got to the studio in Bludhaven deliberately a minute late just to keep Tim sweating. Hovering outside Timothy's window, Kon tapped a rare and gentle knock on the glass as he floated in the air outside, waiting for permission to come in. In his other hand, he held a small box of glazed doughnuts, picked up on the way there.

He waited for Timothy to open it, before passing him the box and slipping inside, careful not to bang his head on the window frame.

"Hey." He mumbled awkwardly; no hint of anger or malice left in his voice. He'd already exhausted that harshly into space. His face saddened at the visible darkened circles underneath the smaller man's eyes and the sunken in cheeks beneath them. "Long week, no sleep huh?"
