15 of My Favorite Holiday Romance Books

It’s that time of year! October officially kicks off the start of holiday romance season, and I’m just fine with that. I love reading a cute Christmas story, a festive and feel good read, or a hot holiday novella as we head towards the end of the year. There are some spectacular full-length books on this list, but this is also the only season when I like to indulge in quick, festive novellas. As…

Since you're answering asks again, are you going through the ones sent before, or are you scrapping them and answering newly sent ones?

Asking this because I can't remember the few I sent before.

I'm going through the ones from last year first -- those were the oldest two sets of asks in my drafts. Next week I'll be doing two more of the creators I'd left on read in my drafts, etc.

The only ask I have left unanswered from you right now is the one about Magical Girl outfits for Gene & co! ^^

#oceandi answers #bonniekf8-blog #oc sunday #I think next week is uhhh.... sleepy-mushroom and sun-creature #then panpuntastic and darkclouds-rainsounds after that and then uhhh #kriss-watches-stuff and chimerathekid and that's everyone in drafts from july so then I'll start on the more recent folks in my inbox! ^^#going by creator instead of just by individual posts is helpful bc a lot of these posts are lore about each person's worldbuilding ^^#if anyone sends in oc sunday art in the future -- it would be helpful if you could add alt text! :o

Artists in Wonderland - Number 6

Welcome to Artists in Wonderland! Running till the 4th of July, I’m counting down My Top 10 Favorite Illustrators for “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland!” The Lewis Carroll stories of Alice are as immortal as they are odd, and many great artists have handled them in different ways. This countdown will pay homage to just a few of them. Our 6th Place illustrator uses a style I imagine at least a few people reading this will find QUITE interesting. Today’s artist is Kriss Sison!

Sison’s omnibus edition of both “Alice” books is one of the most recent, released in 2014. It was part of the “Illustrated Classics” series by Seven Seas Entertainment. Seven Seas is a publishing company that specializes in manga-style works. Their “Illustrated Classics” collection takes multiple pieces of classic literature and releases them in special editions illustrated in a manga/light-novel-esque style. Wonderland in a manga or anime style is nothing new. Japan has an ENORMOUS following for the Carroll stories; in fact, I may be mistaken, but I think it’s possible that Japan has released more work inspired by or directly based on the “Alice” stories than any other country, including both the United Kingdom and the U.S.A. From reimaginings like “Pandora Hearts” and “Alice in the Country of Hearts,” to “gimmick episodes” like those found in “Black Butler” and “Ouran High School Host Club,” to “guest appearances” in things like “100 Sleeping Princes and the Kingdom of Dreams” or “Grimms Notes,” it’s everywhere. Even pieces that are not directly adapted from the books show their influence: several Studio Ghibli movies, for example, such as “My Neighbor Totoro,” “Spirited Away,” and “The Cat Returns” all have a sort of “Alice-ness” to them. So, what sets Sison apart from so many other Japanese or Japanese-influenced interpretations? Very simply this: no one, to my knowledge, has taken this approach to the ACTUAL STORIES before. At least to my knowledge, there was never an illustrated copy of Alcie quite like this before Seven Seas made their edition. Seeing the original Carroll text matched with this type of art style is actually very special and unique. And while the style is familiar, Sison’s imaginings of the different characters are entirely her own invention. There’s a lot to admire with this edition; the artwork is plentiful, in more ways than one. Each chapter in each book is given a minimum of two illustrations, and these black-and-white inked pieces are scattered in a very clever way to detail the action that goes through each story. Along with these monochrome images, Sison also includes seven full-color images, including a textless spread of the cover art (which I have provided above in favor of the ACTUAL cover). And there’s still more: at the end of the book, she even includes a few pages of behind-the-scenes artwork, showcasing her concept sketches for some of the characters and a step-by-step play of her drafts for the cover art. What I love most about this edition, and the artwork that accompanies it, can be summed up in three words: color, action, and personality. While most of the book is illustrated in black and white, the cover art and the six other color images included are absolutely gorgeous. The colors used are richer than thick candy, but never feel garish or gaudy. There’s a sense of dimension and weight to things, and the world feels truly dense and alive in these colored images. This is lost in the monochrome pictures, but they make up with it due to the latter two points: what this style, and the way it’s particularly handled, really achieves is making the characters and events in the story feel truly alive. With a lot of other illustrated copies of “Alice,” there’s a sort of static quality to them; as if you’re looking at a portrait or a photo. They’re wonderful, of course, but they feel very still. Sison’s artwork makes the characters feel like they’re truly living and breathing, leaping from the pages, with incredible expressions and fantastic personality to every one. And unlike a graphic novel (or a manga), none of Carroll’s text is lost in translation because, as important as the illustrations are, they ARE ultimately illustrations to the complete story. For those who find the manga/anime style something of a put-off, this edition will not likely engage you much. But if you’re open to the idea, and if you love the “Alice” stories, you definitely will want to check this one out. It’s fairly easy to find, as far as I can tell. I’d also recommend looking into other works by Seven Seas, such as Sison’s illustrated omnibus of “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” and “The Marvelous Land of Oz.” Lions, and tigers, and anime girls, oh, my!

Come back down the rabbit hole tomorrow as we move into the Top 5! Don’t be late! ;)

Beta reader call

The Blood Enigma is a contemporary paranormal fantasy novel featuring folklore in a modern setting, found family, not-actually-vampires, and the fallout from political intrigue.

Remy Ekhart is a bitterblood: once human, now transformed by vampire blood into something neither dead nor alive. His status as a dead man walking was further cemented seventy years ago when he faked his own death, withdrawing from the world of vampire politics for the sake of his loved ones and his own sanity.

It's a status he should keep, but urged by his sister Thea's pleas and a guilty conscience, Remy agrees to be the getaway driver in a rescue mission. It was never supposed to be a high-risk job, but he suddenly finds himself on the run and in sole charge of Elodie, a child of mysterious origins and even more mysterious abilities. Their one ally is the enigmatic Darren Bell, whose strange faerie magic and dimpled smiles are threatening to break down every barrier Remy has put up to shield himself. With the merciless beast of supernatural politics nipping at their heels, Remy soon realises he is Elodie's one hope at safety – but without access to more vampire blood to sustain him, his time is fast running out.

About the Beta-Reading Process

Novel length: 111,265 words (for reference, that's a little shorter than Northern Lights by Philip Pullman or Twilight by Stephanie Meyer, and a little longer than Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban)

Applications close: Sunday 28th May

Beta Reading starts: Thursday 1st June

Deadline: Friday 30th June, with an extended deadline of Friday 14th July for those who need it.

The purpose of this beta-reading round is to assess strength of large-scale story aspects like:

plot

pace

characterisation

worldbuilding.

(Or, to put it another way: I'm not currently interested in critique on the prose, spelling, or other "small-scale" technical aspects).

The process will work like this:

Applications close on Sunday 28th May

Everyone who applied will hear from me on Tuesday 30th May

Accepted applicants will receive a link to two Google Docs (split the novel to prevent Docs from lagging), and then they can provide feedback in whatever way they like.

(Currently, there will be options to fill in feedback forms, make in-line comments, or leave notes.)

Access to the document will be closed on Friday 14th July.

If you're in interested in beta-reading, here's the beta reader application form

You can also read TBE's first chapters for free, if you'd like to get a taste for the story beforehand.

“Walter Isaacson is the perfect writer for the biographies of our times because he appears to be a born sycophant, and fate decreed that he would be in the right position, at the right moment, to spread as much propagandistic bullshit as possible. After stints at Harvard, Oxford, the Sunday Times and Time magazine—Christopher Hitchens called him “one of the best magazine journalists in America”—Isaacson was appointed CEO at CNN in July 2001. During the first phase of the war in Afghanistan, he sent his staff a memo, warning them not “to focus too much on the casualties or hardship in Afghanistan.” Every mention of people being vaporized in their homes by U.S. bombers had to be “balanced” with reminders that these were the people responsible for 9/11. “You want to make sure people understand that when they see civilian suffering there, it’s in the context of a terrorist attack that caused enormous suffering in the United States.” Later, he told PBS that he wasn’t really so jingoistic: CNN initially tried reporting on the casualties in Afghanistan, but then they received some pushback. “You would get phone calls,” he said. “Big people in corporations were calling up and saying, you’re being anti-American here.” So he caved. What else was he supposed to do? Follow the demands of human dignity even in the face of mild, non-life-threatening opposition? Don’t be ridiculous.” - Sam Kriss, Very Ordinary Men: Elon Musk and the court biographer

👻👻👻I have seen your bingo for Simon the harrowed. But You said that you didn't have lots of hcs on him. What about now? Any hcs or thoughts you can share now?(i managed four times to send the ask)

Hi Odds! 👻

Indeed sorry but i still don’t have much on Simon (still have a few headcanons i can think of lmao)

First have the 2 ever drawings i did of him. One from july the and the other one from may of last year xD yep of my first bb drawings ahah.

Ok so yeah he’s quite a nuanced character that at the same time : intrigued me, touch me a lot emotionally ;-; , and that i kick the ass of in my 2nd playthrough.

🏹 I guess he’s s foreigner? He would come from a Persian/india type of country. (Yes i ask some friends really good in history what they thought of the weapon design and they told me it was probably that and also inspired by the kriss/kress from Indonesia & Pthumerian & Logarius have really similar weapon to it).

🏹 He’s really bad with firearm and hate the loud sound/ step back it cause. And he probably trained with bow since he was a kid.

🏹 Back where he came from, he was used of walk without shoes on sand etc so that don’t bother him after he become the harrowed.

🏹 He was a bit lost at first in Yharnam but wanted to joined the church hunters. (He arrived a few years after the hamlet thing). He met Ludwig who took him under his wing.

🏹 He prove himself and gained the trust of his superiors so he become a "harrowed" disguised himself as a mere beggar to detect symptoms of beasthood before people transformed. But then he become preoccupied who figure something was. weird... he needed to know what the church was hiding... what was their plan. Why take all this measures?

🏹 He did meet Maria a couple of times but didn't know her well. He know she used to be a hunter. But when he tried to gained some informations about the experiments or the church history + take a look at the archives she was really adamant to share anything. If she was around, poke in some papers is really the last thing you wanna do. (I mean it would be worst with other, you could get into trouble Simon!)

🏹 Actually, there was a time where Brador and him work together and it went well. Pretty ironic after knowing how that end...

🏹 Speaking of that: one day Gehrman disappear living a lot of his belonging at the workshop (some times after Maria passed away).. Laurence got worried and sent many people to try to find him. (Ludwig went into the underground, some people went at Byrgenwerth etc) and Simon & Brador (& maybe 1-2 other) were send next to a lost and abandoned hamlet next to the sea... they found him sitting on the shore. Exhausted, wet and cold but alive.

So that's why Simon become really curious towards the lost place and manage to find some papers that weren't destroyed and learn some dark secrets... That + what happened at the research hall some times earlier that definitely made him turn his back towards the church afterwards, he wanted to learn the truth and discovered what was behind everything. And perhaps managed to stop this entire mess. (+ the freaking Amygdala who died in the middle of Yharnam ahah)

🏹 I guess he might knew the 2nd harrowed guy (the one at the hamlet where we got the set.

🏹 He probably participate in killing Ludwig in real life 😢 he discover what happened but compared to Yamamura, Gratia etc either he wasn't put in a cell thanks to his status or he managed escape.

🏹 I am unsure how he ended up in the hunter's nightmare... an amygdala? He is dead in real life? hm...

Also could be funny if he's afraid of the dark and that's why he got a lantern ahah

And yep that's all for now. Probably forgetting lot of thing.

Messi wins it because of the World Cup

Beth doesn’t win it because of the euro

Alexi wins it because of the season July to May

But Benzema doesn’t because of the season July to may Alexia PR working harder than Kriss Jenner

I can’t tell if this is an honest prediction or you’re just being preemptively bitter. I’m gonna guess the latter.

Oh also, one more thing, July to May is the majority of the period they’re looking at for these female players, just fyi.
