Misery loves company.
Even the White Worm came to court; the Lysene harlot Mysaria emerged from the shadows to take up residence in the Red Keep. Though never officially seated with the queen’s small council, the woman now known as Lady Misery became the mistress of whisperers in all but name, with eyes and ears in every brothel, alehouse, and pot shop in King’s Landing, and in the halls and bedchambers of the mighty as well.

It's the end of the year and you're not nearly as caught up on your TBR as you want to be because there are new books out every week and you just can't keep up.

Me, for the past 10+ years: Murtagh was my first I-could-fix-him crush and I'll never get over him!!!
Murthagh: *being the sweetest girldad™️ on the first 50 pages of his own book*
Me: *blushing*
Me: *giggeling*
Me: *kicking with my feet*
I was right, I guess.

a selection of covers (and one inside cover) from used fantasy/sci-fi books, I don't know what's best:
how Extremely Naked Shadows of Hell is
"But when New Kashubia combined virtual reality with tank warfare, giving its warriors a close symbiosis with their intelligent tanks, neither war nor the galaxy would ever be the same. Not to mention sex..." Immediately followed by the glowing recommendation
Is the photoshopped T-Rex meant to be a dragon, or is it Thongor himself? And what is the downed plane doing?
The ESP Worm, notably not a worm
Dog Wizard, a title that really makes you picture some guy in armor fighting a dragon
what is a pagbeast.

I know Sonoya Mizuno is a good portrayal of Mysaria, but I think Aline Fontes is a good fancast of Book! Mysaria in her expressions and beauty.
Aline has that catlike vibe I always associated with Mysaria who is unapologetic and does not feel guilty for being ambitious.
Also, since Aline is Brazilian she would obviously have a different accent to the rest of the British actors, similar to Mysaria who is a Lysene living in Westeros.
