7 Questions to Get to Know Me Better

thank you for tagging me @singinprincess 🩷

Last song i listened: all good things (come to an end), we're doing a cover of it and my bandmate just uploaded a new version

Fav colour: light blue #89CFF0

Last show: Healer, I ended up rewatching a bit after making that pmy gifset.

Sweet, savory, spicy: sweet. I can't handle spicy and savory is eh.

Last thing I googled: witcher 2 silver sword flotsam. 🫣 i couldn't figure out the map and the hud to find merchants and craftsmen and i wasn't going to go out of the walls without my silver sword .

Last book: soulles by @gailcarriger, i'm half in love with alexia and her trusted parasol already

Latest obsession: 2000s films, it's crazy how many i managed to watch lately. did a whole queen latifah marathon. watched a whole bunch of teenage films. Lots of romantic comedies. yesterday i watched just my luck 🥺

i'm just gonna tag the rest of the leverage discord here but no pressure, @danburys @sophiedevreaux @fourteenthofaugust @wistfulwatcher @trueloveistreacherous @evarelis

@unnecessaryligatures tagged me in the What Element Writer are You?

This is really sweet holy crap, and I hope that's what I write like.

I do write for feelings to exist without apology, that much is true. That's why I create. For my words and myself to exist without apology because so many people have tried to make me apologize for who I am. I hope that is what people take away from my writing too.

🌸 Pink Stack 🌸

Thanks for tagging me @anxiousstudybuddy!

I honestly didn't think I had enough pink books to do this one (hence my delay) - battered secondhand classics and adult fantasy don't tend to go for pink covers - but I did mange to gather a decent stack!

Anyway here I have:

Emma by Jane Austen (x2, one is illustrated by Marjolein Bashtin)

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

Soulless by Gail Carriger

Prudence by Gail Carriger

How To Marry a Werewolf by Gail Carriger

Etiquette and Espionage by Gail Carriger

(Shout out to @gailcarriger and Jane Austen for supplying my entire collection of pink books! I would highly recommend Miss Gail for all your next fantasy, romance, or steampunk comfort read 😉)

I'm 99% sure there's a new version of this going round so I won't tag anyone, but if you see this and want to join in then feel free to say I tagged you

[ghostieliving]

I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if raw liver boba were to be mentioned as a menu item in one of @gailcarriger 's San Andreas Shifters books, sounds exactly like something that would be offered in a cafe that caters to shifters

#tw raw meat #san andreas shifters #raw liver #please god don't actually make and drink this you'll probably get very very sick #gail carriger #gl carriger

#pride and prejudice is on here cause im obesessing over fire island currently

[lingeriewitch]

I wonder what other historical characters would be supernatural in the parasolverse. 🤔 Specifically, I’m curious @gailcarriger , how about Wu Xetian? She feels like vampire material.

I feel the the Boxer Rebellion would also make for an excellent supernatural conspiracy.

Book Instagram Ask, because I know I'm the only follower who knows how BADLY you wanna beg for people to send you these PATHETIC little ask games. Grovel at my feet, peasant...

...anyway: 1, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 16, 20, 23, 24, 28, 30

Thank you for indulging me TTwTT

1. The last book you read

This is how you lose the time war - Max Gladstone and Amal El-Mohtar and it was lovely in every way in a way I didn't expect at all

4. A book you want to be a movie

Matched - Ally Condie "want" is a strong word, but I do remember thinking that it Would make for a pretty good movie as I was reading it way back when, which is a first for me

5. A book with a trope that you love

The Demon King - Cinda Williams Chima I'll keep it real with you, I haven't read this one since the series finished in 2012 so I don't actually remember loads of it. But I remember loving it when I did read it, and it does have the Princess - Street Kid pairing which is such a fun trope when you do it right

6. A book that you have reread, or wanted to

The Chronicles of Narnia - CS Lewis I don't reread books in the way my younger self used to do, but these were on a steady cycle as I grew up

9. Your favourite book of all time

The older I get the harder it is to pick favourite anythings, let's be real. But reading The Star-Touched Queen - Roshani Chokshi got me out of a reading slump as easy as flipping a switch and altered my brain chemistry for weeks, so it is certainly up there. Who doesn't love an epic romance with Death with the most gorgeous language ever?

12. A fantasy book you love

The Dark Days Club - Alison Goodman is just so juicy with the regency setting and demon slaying in high society and I read the whole series in a manic week lol

16. A book that you want to read soon

I found a gorgeously old edition of The Hunchback of Notre-Dame - Victor Hugo at a second hand store years ago but have yet to read it, but that still doesn't mean it'll be the next one I pick up once I finish my current book, just that it is in the ever-growing piles meant to be read ^^;

20. A book that you think about often

Soulless - Gail Carriger ( @gailcarriger on here, hi!) managed to nestle it's way into my dark little soul from the get-go with all the improper sassing a spinster in steampunk Victorian London can get away with before the werewolf lord just Has to marry her. And don't forget about all the hats! 10/10 God I Wish That Were Me.jpg

23. A book that you are afraid to read

Afraid how? I have had Emma - Jane Austen staring at me from the shelf for years and I have been slow at actually picking it off of it to read because what if it disappoints me? Does that count?

24. A book with a perfect TV-adaptation

Those exist? I can only remember True Blood and Game of Thrones out of books I've read (no, I still haven't watched or read Good Omens, sue me), and those are both .. not very true to their origins, you know... Can I say mangas? I'm gonna say mangas!

Old-Fashioned Cupcake - Sagan Sagan had a spot-on adaptation. I would know because I started reading it within a day after I finished the show, and they are both lovely

28. The book that you wish you wrote

The Night Circus - Erin Morgenstern is the perfect embodiment of how I would have wanted my writing to read, and the kind of story I would have liked to tell, and I will be forever grateful that Someone got to write it so I could read it <3

30. A book you always recommend

The Deed of Paksenarrion - Elizabeth Moon I don't know about "always", but I do find myself recommending it quite often so why not give it another mention here? This is one of the ones that I probably should reread soon though.

This took so much time and thinking lmao!

But I had a lot of fun thinking back on books I've loved, so thank you again for indulging me <3

Finally was able to spring for @gailcarriger ‘s Tinkered Starsong trilogy physical copies ☺️. I already owned the ebooks, but there’s just something special about having a physical book to read.

Highly recommended series btw!

[little-lady-bird]

My favorite author isnt accepting asks or messages right now but I needed Ms.Carriger to know that I love her series The Parasol Protectorate. It gives me life and I'd kill (figuratively) for signed copies. Please go read it if you haven't and you like supernatural themes and steampunk

@gailcarriger sorry to randomly tag you but all the above!!

Out with @teawithsteph visiting shops in Snohomish, and ran across this sign at @joyworks1 — they tell me got it at an antique shop and that it was originally from a men’s suit place in Tacoma. Has strong @gailcarriger vibes! https://www.instagram.com/p/Co3ToFNP9--/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
