I wanted to include green since I had so many green books on my shelves. Mint or lighter green is a pretty popular book cover color for YA lit too I’ve noticed.
Green is the color I’ve chosen for Saturday! Happy reading everyone! :)

About My Contrary Mary
Welcome to Renaissance France, a place of poison and plots, of beauties and beasts, of mice and . . . queens?⠀⠀Mary is the queen of Scotland and the jewel of the French court. Except when she’s a mouse. Yes, reader, Mary is an Eðian…
The earldom of Ormond passed through the general line rather than being limited to heirs male. Hunsdon's claim was, therefore, based on the assumption that the earldom should have passed from himself to his father by virtue of their descent from Thomas Boleyn's eldest daughter, Mary. [...] The earldom, therefore, consisted of a title only, to which Elizabeth had no claim because she was 'daughter and heir of Anne, youngest daughter of said Sir Thomas Bullen, late Earl of Ormond.' Hundson reiterated that, since his grandmother was the eldest daughter, his earldom ought to descend to him. [...] Such evidence is compelling. Had he been mistaken [...] Elizabeth [I] could easily have corrected him and claimed the earldom for herself to dispose of as she pleased.
Mary Boleyn: The True Story of Henry VIII's Favourite Mistress, Josephine Wilkinson
Okay so why are people out here now using the Organas to try and shoot down the Skywalkers as parents? The very same Organas who, if you want to get technical (which haters refuse to do), kidnapped the Skywalkers’ baby daughter because they couldn’t have one of their own and kept her existence a secret from her real family? A baby Bail also had no right to make decisions about. But he’s rich and well-known so it’s okay, I guess.
In case y’all haters also forgot, Anakin and Padme never GOT to be parents so where the hell is all this “proof” coming from. 🙄🤦♀️ TCW I suppose which basically did it’s best to destroy the love that Anakin and Padme shared and that was evident in the movies. Anakin’s reaction to Clovis putting the (unwanted) moves on Padme seem to be a particular favorite for the haters to use but seriously. Anakin freaking walked in on a man trying to force himself on Anakin’s wife! How the hell do you expect him to react?! Somehow, CLOVIS still has the support. Which, ooooooookay.
All we really know is that both Anakin and Padme loved their child(ren) from the very second they knew she was pregnant and Padme was already making plans to raise them on Naboo at the Lake House while Anakin was fully planning on leaving the Order so he could be with them after the war. He chose his family over the Jedi because he was also tired of the shit treatment he was constantly being subjected to.
I created more Puss In Boots oc, this time those that are dastardly evil...

Mylan ‘Blue Beard’ Lire is a retired naval captain and a poor grieving widower...in reality he's a cruel vampire that keeps killing his new wives to steal their doweries and because he's a perfectionist.
Meanwhile...
Queen Mariah Rùdagan, was an evil sorcerer who was overthrown by her own subjects and allies, but before her execution, she took her own life. After her death, her stories were spread by the survivors under her rule, claiming that she's still out there...haunting those that betrayed her in life...for every time they look in a mirror-they see her...
Me: Haha, the campers of Cabin Dung Beetle did a mock public execution of Counselor Juniper while claiming that even if they did kill him, since it's Opposite Day it would make him live forever! This is clearly a joke premised on dark absurdist humour, to demonstrate how crazy fucked up this world is, and the time-honoured gag of children rebelling against authority to exaggerated extremes!
Me: *hears Counselor Juniper speak for the first time* Okay, actually yeah, any group of 14 year olds would absolutely overthrow and be willing to hang this man by the neck till dead the moment they had the opportunity.
