anyone wanna recommend some books for me to put on my newly revived tbr list? i like fantasy mostly (anything from witches to dragons to magic to fairies to vampires to angels & demons (i am a former good omens blog after all) etc) i love romance but not thrilled about sex. i can read it but i don’t want it to be too heavy with it. can be older or newer series/stand alones as well.

right now i’m reading fourth wing by rebecca yarros because my best friend recommended it to me (she just finished reading it). i’m almost halfway through and liking it so far.

also it doesn’t necessarily have to be a “good” book, because “good” is subjective anyway. different things make a story good to different people. plus sometimes things don’t have to be “good” for them to be enjoyable. “guilty” pleasures are soooo welcome

i’ll be honest, i’m 29 and i haven’t really read a real book since i was in late high school, early college? (like just for fun, ykwim?) don’t judge me pls.

(in my defense, i read a TON of good omens (and a few other fandoms) fanfic that were definitely long enough to be books so. it’s not like i don’t read. but that’s been a couple years now too.) plus i read comics (webtoons) and manga sometimes, which in my opinion counts.

I put down this cozy fantasy for a bit (haven't decided yet if I'm going to DNF) and started listening to the audiobook for Daughter of the Burning City by Amanda Foody, and yall....did you know that listening to audiobooks is so much easier when you're doing things? Like commuting to work? Like staring out the bus window at 8 am and getting lost in a story? Cuz I didn't. I've been trying to listen to audiobooks at home, without doing another activity at the same time, and wondering why I always get fidgety and bored. Forgetting, naturally, that I'm an adhd gremlin and need enrichment in my enrichment lmao

This book is so freaking good so far! I'm trying not to set my expectations too high cuz I know a romance I probably won't be too fond of is on the horizon, but I'm just loving everything that's going on.

Goodreads synopsis below (join meeee):

Sixteen-year-old Sorina has spent most of her life within the smoldering borders of the Gomorrah Festival. Yet even among the many unusual members of the traveling circus-city, Sorina stands apart as the only illusion-worker born in hundreds of years. This rare talent allows her to create illusions that others can see, feel and touch, with personalities all their own. Her creations are her family, and together they make up the cast of the Festival’s Freak Show.

But no matter how lifelike they may seem, her illusions are still just that—illusions, and not truly real. Or so she always believed…until one of them is murdered.

Desperate to protect her family, Sorina must track down the culprit and determine how they killed a person who doesn’t actually exist. Her search for answers leads her to the self-proclaimed gossip-worker Luca, and their investigation sends them through a haze of political turmoil and forbidden romance, and into the most sinister corners of the Festival. But as the killer continues murdering Sorina’s illusions one by one, she must unravel the horrifying truth before all of her loved ones disappear.

I probably put way too much thought into it but I do enjoy making a more in depth story rather than winging it. I like to actually think about the worldbuilding, make sure things actually connect and make sense. I am a big history nerd and I feel like it's the closest I can get to writing my own history.

It’s Slow Burn. It’s tedious trust turning into certain loyalty.

It’s deals made in desperation becoming unbreakable bonds.

It’s noticing, focusing, the subtle shift of light in their eyes, the shifting wrinkles that show in different smiles.

It’s bearing the sting to taste fleeting sweetness.

It’s careful words and cautious actions despite the ticking clock.

It’s holding back a hand to save their suffering.

It’s watching as the pain works its way through their bones.

It’s knowing that the smile you wish to give them, the kind words, would only lead to anguish.

It’s finding other ways to love them.

It’s endlessly searching for ways to relieve their agony and give them the adoration they deserve.

May it take days, or months, or decades. You’ll keep your devotion in a bottomless jar hoping someday they will drink from it, greedily, happily, sore throat eased from your efforts.

Hi Tumblr I'm an Asian fantasy author fleeing the sudden death of all my other social media sites 👋 I've used Tumblr for years as a fandom lurker and rarely posted but in light of all my other communities imploding I guess I'll have to figure out how to be actually active on Tumblr and find bookish and writerly folks here 💜 say hi if that's you 🥺

If you love diverse filipino fantasy with bipoc leads, angry bi women clawing for space in a world that's always rejected them and soft boys who'd do anything for them, awesome elemental magic based on early Filipino shaman/ babaylan/katalonan mythologies and the Tagalog creation story, and the Bakunawa/Laho the 🇵🇭 sea dragon 🐉 and drowning colonizers then I hope you'll keep an eye out for SAINTS OF STORM AND SORROW coming in June 2024 from Titan Books

This advertisement is for The Archive Undying—a debut science fantasy epic from Emma Mieko Candon, and book one in their Downworld Sequence, featuring commissioned fanart of Sunai, the book's main character. The artist is Caitlin Ono.

WHAT IT’S ABOUT

Plugged into his AI god when its corruption renders him unfortunately immortal, sad gay disaster Sunai takes a die-again-or-die-trying approach to his tragically unending life. Despotic police states want to leash him and giant robots want to eat him, but reuniting with the small handful of people he cares about is what’s actually horrifying.

Adrift in the wilds, Sunai makes several unwise decisions such as:

Scavenging old ruins haunted by hostile fragments of another shattered technological deity

Allowing his mind to become further compromised

Sleeping with his mysterious employer for information and fun

Joining a haphazard crew of pirates who all have different motives for hunting a feral remnant of the same god that cursed him, all those years ago

This brain-melting series-starter is like a Neon Genesis Evangelion AMV set to a bass-boosted cover of George Michael’s "Careless Whisper."

The sluttiest thing a hero can do is showing up at the villain's doorstep while they're hurt and saying, "I didn't know where else to go."

getting pretty sick of fantasy novels introducing character flaws that are just, “they’re fat. they like to eat sweets, isn’t that awful and stupid of them?” talk about lazy writing
