Hello friends, I am back with more reading recommendations for your agonies! Next up we have the long awaited and much requested Sad Boat Fiction list. As with all of my lists, this is NOT exhaustive and there WILL be great books left off, and also you may or may not like these books! I only rec things that I've personally enjoyed or that come highly recommended by trusted friends, but taste in books is incredibly subjective, especially with fiction. If I missed your favorite, please add it in the comments or drop it in my DMs!

Now that I'm feeling more settled in my new job, I will hopefully have a lot more time to make book lists and do more virtual Readers' Advisory. I have lists in the works for women in polar exploration and companion reads for the HBO War series, but if there's something else you would love to see, please send me a message!

🇧🇷 o texto em pt br estará lá em baixo

Rereading some passages from acotar, I just found out that there are half-fae in Velaris. Rhsyand found some after he took over and brought them in, providing shelter (my headcanon is that they are probably the less fortunate people, from those buildings on Nesta's block. No way they are high fae, and now that I know there are people there with human blood, it's so... "wow, it all makes sense"). He also says that he couldn't just give shelter to everyone because Velaris is hidden, he couldn't announce it, and people wouldn't go to the night court just because the high lord called them, would they? The night has always been despicable.

I also found out that YES, THERE ARE HUMANS WITH MAGIC IN THE WORLD OF PRYTHIAN. RARE, BUT THERE ARE! THOSE WITH DISTANT FAIRY BLOOD!! The rare worldbuilding we have in Acotar... And it's all wasted because it's just stuff that's mentioned... Where were these humans with the power to resist in the war (the recent one)?

Information taken directly from chapter 20 of ACOWAR.

We also have libraries rich in knowledge being burned with all the books because they didn't want the humans (slaves) to evacuate, but I don't know where these libraries were. I imagine Rhysand is talking about the territories closest to human lands, maybe even those kingdoms on the continent... It's such shallow information that it leaves more room for questioning than anything else 🤡. I went looking for information and found more scoop. Splendid, Sarah Gmails.

I put several random tags so that more people can see it.

🇧🇷 Relendo alguns trechos de acotar, acabei de descobrir que há semifeericos em Velaris. Rhsyand encontrou alguns depois que assumiu e os trouxe para dentro, fornecendo abrigo (headcanon é que eles provavelmente são as pessoas menos afortunadas, daqueles prédios no quarteirão de Nesta. De jeito nenhum eles são fae altos, e agora que eu sei que há pessoas lá com sangue humano, é tão... "uau, tudo faz sentido"). Ele também diz que não poderia simplesmente dar abrigo a todos porque Velaris está escondido, ele não poderia anunciar, e as pessoas não iriam para a corte noturna só porque o alto senhor as chamou, iriam? A noite sempre foi desprezível.

Eu também descobri que SIM, HÁ HUMANOS COM MAGIA NO MUNDO DE PRYTHIAN. RAROS, MAS HÁ! AQUELES COM SANGUE DE FADA DISTANTE!! A rara construção de mundo que temos em Acotar... E é tudo desperdiçado porque é só coisa que é mencionada... Onde estavam esses humanos com o poder de resistir na guerra (a recente)?

Informações retiradas diretamente do capítulo 20 de ACOWAR.

Também temos bibliotecas ricas em conhecimento sendo queimadas com todos os livros porque eles não queriam que os humanos (escravos) evacuassem, mas não sei onde essas bibliotecas estavam. Imagino que Rhysand esteja falando sobre os territórios mais próximos das terras humanas, talvez até mesmo aqueles reinos no continente... É uma informação tão superficial que deixa mais espaço para questionamentos do que qualquer outra coisa 🤡. Fui procurar informações e encontrei mais furos. Esplêndido, Sarah Gmails.

Colocando várias tags pra que mais pessoas vejam, bom dia.

books i read in 2024!

so i got back into reading in 2023 after almost a decade of not doing it (thanks uni for killing the passion lol) and so last year i decided to make a list of all the books i read! here they all are in order followed with my thoughts (*=reread)

Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen Rebecca - Daphne du Maurier The Wasp Factory - Iain Banks Fight Club* - Chuck Palahniuk Lullaby - Chuck Palahniuk The Harpy - Megan Hunter A Voyage for Madmen - Peter Nichols Moby Dick - Herman Malville The Little Prince - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Flatland - Edwin A Abbott The Left Hand of Darkness - Ursula K Le Guin Frozen in Time - Owen Beattie & John Geiger Superheavy - Kit Chapman This Is How You Lose The Time War - Amal El-Mohtar & Max Gladstone Affinity* - Sarah Waters A Room With a View - E.M Forster The House at Riverton - Kate Morton The Perfect Storm - Sebastian Junger Tell Me I'm Worthless - Alison Rumfitt Crow Moon - Suzy Aspley South: The Endurance Expedition - Ernest Shackleton The Hunger - Alma Katsu

as you can see i read some Absolute Bangers this year. there were only two books that werent for me and that was 'tell me im worthless' and 'this is how you lose the time war'. while it sounded interesting and there were some parts i really liked, the writing style of the former just really wasn't for me and the amount of sexual violence was not something i was expecting so that threw me off as well (there was a tw at the beginning so obvi no fault to the author there! i just personally wasnt expecting it to be the main plot of the book). the main qualm i had with it though is that there were no likeable characters, which is just not something for me as i like someone to root for when reading. i like a bit of escapism when reading but i dont mind heavy subject matter but oof the whole thing was a proper downer lol, just not for me personally!

for the latter it was So Hyped Up for ages so i decided to read it but all the way through the book i couldn't help but think that the two characters had fallen in love without ever meeting each other and in fact had only glanced at each other once across a battlefield. i know its probably not the point but i just couldnt help thinking about that and it just made the whole romance seem a bit silly to me? idk maybe that just the aro in me lol

2024 also marked the first time in my life id ever read non-fiction and besties i am absolutely HOOKED. read some really interesting true stories and have some more lined up for next year. i always thought it wasnt something i was interested in but i couldnt be more wrong, and being real life stories i think the perils and heartbreak hit me harder than fiction bc i Know that this really happened to someone.

anyway, choosing book of the year was Difficult but in the end i knew i could really only come to one conclusion. honourable mentions to 'pride and prejudice' and 'rebecca' - both completely changed me as a person, with the ending to 'rebecca' coming like a punch to the gut which i Still think about to this day.

however - i must give book of the year 2024 to 'a voyage for madmen' by peter nichols. as well as it being the first non-fiction book i had ever read, this book got me into boats and maritime expeditions and its now my number one interest! im not an emotional girlie but i cried my gd eyes out toward the end at the fate of one of the men, just absolutely harrowing to find out one of the men you followed through the entire book and rooted for through thick and thin ended his life not long after, hurts even more bc he was a real life person with real thoughts and feelings and desires and all that. got to thank this book to being my gateway to start reading about other boat journeys and now im Obsessed with doomed polar expeditions, particularly the franklin expedition of 1885, thanks peter nichols! 10/10 recommend!

there will definitely be more boat books in 2025 - i got apsley cherry-garrards biography of the terra nova expedition for christmas and am hoping to read that next! im also really interested in reading about the crew of the belgica in 'madhouse at the end of the earth'. im hoping to read 'house of leaves' this year as ive wanted to read it ever since i heard about it way back in the late 2000s but it was out of print, then a few years ago my sis+sil got me it for christmas! hope i find some absolute bangers this year!

In the Zack flashback there seems to be a subtle clue about the rift in the sky.

Elmyra says the "world is ending". When Elmyra says the world is ending, there is a dying yellow flower and the petals fly off towards the rift.

Biggs in the Sector 6 reactor says the lifestream is "bone dry" (in a 3rd timeline though).

If there is a world that has a dead lifestream, then it could be that Sephiroth is summoning another planet as this one has nothing left. He's said it over and over again and it makes sense he'd do it in this circumstance.

Since the petals fly towards it, then it may be that the "worlds converging" thing is actually two planets.

In Opera Omnia, worlds are literally "merged". Things in both worlds appear in one place. FF9 has that symbolism and the ending of Remake as well. It would be kinda dumb if Sephiroth's whole plan is just make timelines into one as it's always been about "going to another planet to drain it".

I like the name of the complex Jessie names in her Remake chapter, the "7-6 Annex". This timeline is a bit odd since the effects of meteor already appeared in Midgar, but meteor doesn't seem like it's a thing here...it's just "the rift". As far as I know, a rift wasn't used to summon meteor, but it's also said in OG that that meteor is a small planet.

If the lifestream is actually "bone dry" then maybe Sephiroth wants to merge this planet with another so that when he summons meteor here he'll actually have energy to draw off of. Perhaps that's where the "making multiple timelines into one" part make sense.

Btw, Biggs in this timeline came from Cloud's timeline. That's not hard to find out.

So this may be how Terra ends up in this world, but we have years to find it out...although Kingdom Hearts 4 may have some info.

It's worth showing the main hint about Zack and Terra. Compare the two scenes below replacing Serah/Sarah with Terra and Noctis with Zack. In the Terra Wars FF15 DLC notice the similarity between the final boss of it and Sephiroth/Jenova.

The WoFF scene with Zack doesn't make sense without the FF15 DLC (the similarity is how both Noctis and Zack wake up, which is implying that Noctis "is" Zack in this regard). Sarah "being" Terra is shown by the aliens (they're basically "moogles" since "hiso/kupo") and her line about dealing with "little kids". Also, the thing is literally called "Terra Wars", but maybe the obvious is too obvious to make sense (RIP random mobile game). Opera Omnia also connects Zack with Noctis. The "Eroder" sounds like something Jenova is named after.

Thing is, since this hint exists and nothing has "disproved" it, I'll have to believe it.

[songbirdspells]

Read Along: Ancient Greece A Political, Social and Cultural History by Sarah Pomeroy, Stanley Burstein, Walter Donlan, Jennifer Tolbert Roberts. Long post, reminder that you can blacklist "songbird chirps" and/or "read along ancient greece book" to avoid these posts.

(Pg 2) "Though religion inspired much of architecture, literature, and even athletic competitions, which were held to honor the gods, Greek government and society often seemed to function in an entirely secular manner. Marriage, for example, was a purely civil affair, and divorce was not believed to distress the gods at all. The gods were nowhere and everywhere. Ideals of equality were preached by men who usually owned slaves and believed in the inferiority of women."

Thoughts: The quote "the gods were nowhere and everywhere" hits hard but no real use for it -Interesting that they list a lot of everyday aspects of life then say things are mostly secular. But makes sense in a way--humanity has remained roughly the same and some people make religion a part of every single thing and other people are the 'church on major holidays' sorts of people. Would like to see their source for this, though, as whether the original authors were religious or not seems to greatly affect their opinion. -The slave thing...yes. Noted a lot especially in literature about Athens life, Spartan life, agricultural, and mining operations. Just like now, philosophers tended to be wealthy men who ignored the people doing the actual labor. For some reason these authors then go on to quote those same slave-owning bastards with their hot takes on Greek labor with no caveats so that's fun.

(Pg 4-5) "Materials decay, and the soil of Greece is not good for preserving things. Accordingly, artifacts made of wood, cloth, and leather are rarely found. Metals fare better: gold and silver last almost forever; bronze is fairly durable, iron more subject to corrosion. Another material, virtually indestructible, is terra-cotta."

Thoughts: Survivorship bias is something to always be mindful of. Especially looking at what is surviving--it is all materials by and for rich people, who will not give us an accurate portrayal of day to day life of the Greeks, and will leave us holes in terms of every day worship practices. However, terra-cotta was extremely cheap and plentiful so possibly also explains the amount of surviving votive offerings with it.

(Pg 6) "The most common medium for writing in the ancient Mediterranean was papyrus"

Thoughts: rip people's grocery lists and burn books. But in seriousness, again, survivorship bias! We see such a small amount of how the majority lived and worshiped.

(Pg 9) "When all is said and done, what stands out about the Greeks is the great paradox: a single people, yet totally disunited and regularly at war with itself."

Thoughts: Why it's important to note geographical locations when speaking about rituals when possible. What happens in one polis may not happen in another. This is American-centric but it's very similar to how the states are set up. People from Alaska don't have much in common in day to day life with people from Iowa, but they're both American and statistically are going to hold similar religious beliefs. There is never going to be just one way to do things. Also explains the different holiday calendar due to differing climates and needs.

(Pg 15) "Water, the most precious natural resource, is scarce in Greece because there are very few rivers that flow year round, and few lakes, ponds, and springs"

Thoughts: Find that agricultural book again and look for references for wells. It could also explain the importance of libations above all offerings--they're giving a finite resource. Could also explain why even the gods give libations. One drought and I can promise everyone is religious as all get out. Also, remember the messages left at Zeus' temple and how snippy people got about the rain. It is likely connected, reference maps between those temples and location of rivers to ensure mental connection is correct.

Pink Bathrooms Are Making a Comeback

Pink bathrooms have a long history, but they are enjoying a new renaissance, thanks to a resurgence in popularity among modern homeowners. The color is so popular that it’s even catching on with the midcentury crowd. Homeowners who want to make a bold statement in their bathrooms are now turning to pink bathrooms for inspiration.

Modern homebuyers

One trend in home design that is sweeping the nation is the pink bathroom. Popular in the midcentury, this color is finding new fans among modern homebuyers. Originally a girl’s dream, pink bathrooms are now making a comeback in homes designed by today’s modern homebuyers.

Many modern homebuyers aren’t able to afford the extensive modern renovations of older homes, but they are drawn to unique interior styles and designs. Many pink bathrooms were once built by the millions in postwar boom homes. In northern New Jersey, nearly a third of homes were built in the 1950s or 1960s, and many still feature these rooms. A recent post on a Morris County mom’s private Facebook page received more than a hundred comments from people expressing their love for pink bathrooms.

Home buyers are also drawn to bathrooms with pink tile. Amanda Lewis, lead stylist for Denver-based The Den Rentals, explains that pink tiled bathrooms are a must for buyers. The symmetry of pink tiles and the use of dark accents in the bathroom create an eye-catching space.

The appeal of a pink bathroom can be attributed to the post-World War II era’s optimism. President Dwight Eisenhower gave his wife a bouquet of pink flowers every morning, and his wife’s wife Mamie decorated the White House with pink. In response, homebuilders began copying this style.

Pink bathroom tiles are available in many different shapes and sizes. They can create a patchwork effect or a peaceful sea of color. The versatility of these tiles is almost endless. For instance, you can combine two different tile shapes to create a mermaid-like ripple design that uses two shades of pink. This pattern creates a soft shimmer and textural contrast.

Pink bathrooms are a trend that’s still growing in popularity today. With millennials leaning toward retro design, pink bathroom style is on the rise again. Adding geometric patterns, bold artwork, and unexpected color palettes are making pink bathrooms more modern than ever. One interior designer, Sarah Trotter, combined terra-cotta floor tile and blush pink subway tile for an ultra-modern look. A floating American oak vanity is the centerpiece of this bathroom, while an exposed bowl sink sits behind the vanity.

Art Deco inspired fixtures

A pink bathroom with Art Deco inspired fixtures is a classic combination. It combines the glam of Art Deco with the comfort of modern design. Pink tiles create a dramatic shower enclosure while black beading accents the light fixtures and radiator. The pink hue is also a subtle element when used with a neutral setting. The walls and floor tiles can be a coordinating color or a solid color trio.

You can incorporate a floral pattern into an Art Deco-inspired bathroom by implementing the shell pattern. This style is most popular in pink bathrooms, but it works equally well in other colors, including white. In addition to using bold floral patterns, you can also use geometric shapes and colors in the space. The art deco style is also often paired with gold accents.

For the floor, a pink vinyl floor looks luscious and glitzy. It complements the gold cabinet knobs and vintage accessories. You can also pair the pink walls with dark green tiles. This pair is complementary to each other and makes for a striking power couple statement.

You can also opt for pastel tiles or white bullnose tiles to add a vintage touch. During the Thirties, pink was the most popular color for bathrooms. Pink was the primary color used until the mid-’60s, when the pastel pink color became popular. The vibrant colors reflected the high spirit of the postwar era. Marketing companies tapped into the pop culture design aesthetic and included advertisements in their catalogs.

A pink bathroom can be a hub for morning activities or a haven of calm at the end of the day. Using pink paint is a stylish way to update this space. A pale pink bathroom with a matching vanity and bold glossy painted black door is a timeless choice for a pink bathroom. And to really highlight the period details, you can accent the space with trim.

Another key element for an Art Deco bathroom is the mirrors. Mirrors were a very popular element of the period and presented the opportunity to explore artistic expression. They were usually larger and had beveled glass, and were often framed. These mirrors also provided more light to the bathroom.

Patterned wallpaper

Patterned wallpaper in pink bathrooms is a great way to add color and pattern to a bathroom. The soft hues of pink are especially calming and relaxing, and they can create a sense of comfort and relaxation. You can choose from a variety of different designs and colors for your wallpaper. If you’re looking for a more sophisticated look, you can use a pattern that has subtle details, such as roses and florals.

Whether you want to go bold and vibrant or soft and feminine, pink bathrooms can be a beautiful place to introduce pattern. For example, if you’re choosing a pink bathroom for a little girl, you can choose a bold flower patterned shower curtain. For the rest of the room, a white tile floor with a light pink accent wall will provide a stunning contrast.

Patterned wallpaper in pink bathrooms can also make a bold statement. For example, Hannah’s Treasures sells a wallpaper from the 1970s that depicts cartoon characters in a Victorian-style bathroom. If you’re not a fan of bright colors, you can also use a black-and-white shower curtain. Add some pink towels to finish the look.

Another great way to add color to a pink bathroom is to use floral wallpaper. Today, there are literally endless options available for wallpaper. You can also add fresh flowers to the room to bring in a floral theme. These flowers will also help you rotate the flowers as the seasons change. In addition to wallpaper, you can add fresh flowers to the bathroom.

Pink is a popular color for bathrooms. Although it was once reserved for children’s rooms and nurseries, it can be used in any room of the home. Using pink in your bathroom will add a special charm to your space. This color is also a great complement to other colors in your home.

If you don’t want to spend a lot of money on renovating your bathroom, you can use patterned wallpaper to give it an instant makeover. These beautiful and subtle designs can add color and texture without any hassle. And remember that patterned wallpapers can also be easily removed if you want to redecorate your room.

Textured tiles

Textured tiles are a great way to introduce a pop of color to a bathroom. These tiles are available in a variety of shapes, sizes, and designs. They can create a patchwork effect or a serene sea of color. You can also use different patterns to create an unusual look. For example, you can use two tile shapes to create a mermaid-like ripple pattern. You can also use textured tiles to create a subtle shimmer.

When it comes to choosing the right colors for your pink bathroom, you’ll need to take into account the rest of the room. A bathroom can be a place to showcase art or accessories that compliment the color scheme. If the pink color is used sparingly throughout, then it will appear less overwhelming and overpowering. Alternatively, you can use pink to contrast with other colors within the room.

One way to achieve this look is to use several different colors of textured tiles on the walls. This way, you’ll be able to create a patchwork effect in your bathroom. The texture of the tiles will break up the monotony. The same principle applies to the floor. If you’re using similar color palettes, use a multi-fired tile.

The 1950s were a decade of change for pink bathrooms. After World War II, the use of new materials in architecture led to a huge building boom. The new materials meant that textured tiles were more affordable and widely available. This period also saw the introduction of 4×4 tiles, which became ubiquitous in homes. Although pink bathrooms were out of fashion for many decades, they’re now gaining a following among modern homeowners.

In addition to color and shape, texture can also be used to create visual interest. These tiles are especially striking when used in mosaics, murals, and as accents or borders. As with any tile material, proper care is required to maintain the look and feel of the room. To ensure a durable installation, follow the manufacturer’s directions carefully.

Frequently Asked Questions

What bathroom finishes do you prefer?

The matte-black finish was a popular choice in 2022. This trend will continue into 2023. Brushed brass, bronze and other finishes will be very popular in 2023. These finishes can give your bathroom a luxurious touch.

Bathroom finishes are often seen as an afterthought in bathroom design. It is crucial to consider and plan for bathroom finishes from the beginning. Their impact on the appearance and feeling of the room can be significant. They also play a crucial role in creating a sense of calmness and tranquillity within the space.

You must also think about the materials that you use in your bathroom. A classic white tiled bathroom floor might be paired with a wooden bathtub and vanity unit. Or you might opt for a totally different colour scheme like black and white or a completely contrasting palette. Whatever you decide, make sure it works for you and fits into the overall design of the rest of the house.

To create a luxurious bathroom, you don’t need to spend a lot of money. You can transform an ordinary bathroom with just a coat of paint.

What is the most costly part of a bathroom remodeling project?

Labour is the most expensive part of bathroom remodels. Professional labour can cost anywhere from $10,000 to $15,000 depending on the size of your project. This does not include the costs of materials. These can vary depending upon what type of fixtures and finishes they are.

How much does it cost to update a bathroom vanity?

The average cost to update a bathroom vanity ranges from $2,000-$5000 depending on the type. This includes labor, materials, and any other associated costs.

A custom-built vanity will be more expensive than a prefabricated or stock one. Paint it or add new hardware to your bathroom vanity if you have a limited budget. To make it more important, you can replace the countertop or sink.

How can you make your tiny bathroom seem bigger?

You can make a small bathroom seem larger by using a few tricks. First, choose lighter colours for walls and floors. Mirrors can be used to reflect light and create a feeling of greater space. The space is also made more open by glass shower doors. You can create an illusion of more space by using floating shelves or cabinets.

How much does a bathroom remodel increase home value?

Bathroom remodels typically offer a return on investment (ROI) of around 60% to 70%, making them a solid choice if you want to add value to your home. The amount your bathroom remodel will increase the value of your home will depend on many factors including the scope of the project, the quality and location of your home. A high-end bathroom remodel in a luxurious area will likely have a higher return on investment than one that is more modestly done in an affordable neighborhood.

How can I make my bathrooms feel modern?

There are many options to modernize your bathroom. You can achieve a modern design by using simple lines that are sleek and clean. Also, you can use colors like black, grey, or white. Modern fixtures such as LED lighting or rain showers will give your space a contemporary look. Finally, decluttering your bathroom and ensuring everything has its place will help to create a cleaner and more minimalistic look.

Buy too much at once. A common mistake when renovating bathrooms is to purchase too much stuff without first thinking it through. Make sure you only buy what you need for the job, so you aren’t stuck paying for something you didn’t need.

Failing to plan how to use the new room before starting. Many people fail to consider how they want to use the newly renovated area. People often throw items in the space and decide that they don’t need them.

Modifying an existing layout. Sometimes people feel that they know exactly how they want their bathroom to look, but end-up changing the layout which makes it less usable.

I’m still going through my first playthrough of FFXV. I’m only on Chapter 5 and I swear, these two have more chemistry than Noct and Luna from what I’ve seen so far. This side quest/collab with Terra Wars was fun though. c’: The cuties.
