2024 Anticipated Reads (So Far)

Hey all, Sam here. Hello everyone…can I just say that 2024 is already looking like an incredible reading year? I’m very excited about it. Not only are there a lot of exciting upcoming releases, but I also still have this awesome backlog of books to work my way through as well. Okay, so basically I went through all the upcoming releases in my favorite categories on NetGalley…although now that…

Most anticipated 2023 releases

If I'm completely honest, I don't follow new releases very much. Mostly because I usually find out about books I want to read after they've already come out when everyone is already talking about it. I usually have a few books that I know are coming out (usually sequels) that I add to a most anticipated releases list, but it's not usually as extensive as some of the other lists I see.

That being said, I'll probably find more newly released books I want to read throughout the rest of the year, but for now, here's my list!

Heavenly Tyrant by Xiran Jay Zhao (release date 8/29/23)

Lost in the Moment and Found by Seanan McGuire (release date 1/10/23)

VAMPS: Fresh Blood by Nicole Arend (release date 1/3/23)

Planning Perfect by Haley Neil (release date 2/14/23)

The Severed Thread by Leslie Vedder (release date 2/7/23)

The Sun and the Star by Rick Riordan and Mark Oshiro (release date 5/2/23)

Chalice of the Gods by Rick Riordan (release date 11/26/23)

Going Bicoastal by Dahlia Adler (release date 6/13/23)

Was gonna gather my thoughts and write a post tmr on the general mood in the ofts space after the finale bc I feel like a whole bunch of people overthink the amount of editing that was supposedly the result of "promo couple fans complaining too much" but I literally cannot sleep before I get this off my chest so here goes nothing:

Do you guys not understand how tv show productions work....

The script was written, reworked, and then finalized before they even began filming. Yes they might have changed some stuff between the initial scrips draft they had before the mock trailer and the true beginning of production this year but considering that they booked two at the time new but well received promo couples (remember that this show was already in planning at a time when Enchené and The Eclipse were still very very fresh), TopMew and SandRay were always gonna be endgame. It's especially obvious now that the full series is out bc if you go back and watch the mock trailer, all the same storybeats are there. This is how the story was supposed to go from the beginning. They most likely cast two promo couples on purpose because of the added bonus of pre-established compatibility and chemistry needed for endgame couples in such a messy series.

Then they filmed stuff. They finished filming I believe the day that episode 3 aired, so they could not have changed any of the ending based on audience reactions (as I have seen multiple people suggest), since we were barely a few epiaodes into the story. The book based on the series was also already finished and in the last stages of preparing to be released. The only thing they actually did was edit out parts of scenes or full scenes that they found did not add anything at this point in the story (like the sandray garage scene) or would actively harm what we, the audience, are supposed to be understanding and feeling right now (like the Mew smashing shit scene and Top attempting to sleep with someone else, which both were explained to have been cut because audiences were reacting strongly negative to Top even a few episodes into his redemption arc, when we were clearly supposed to start being on his side). They might also have moved some scenes around to aid the story flow but I am unsure of that one (I suspect the scene where Ray and Mew finally solve their shit out was supposed to be directly before the SandRay donut scene bc of obvious clothing reasons, bc they either fucked up hardcore with clothing continuity or moved the first SandRay rehab discussion to after the RayMew talk because it made more sense that way when seeing it played out on screen. If that was the case I am glad for it bc it would have felt a bit weird the other way around idk...).

All of this is however not new. It happens all the time in film and broadcasting production (also in book publishing....this is why editors and alpha/beta readers exist. I mean Brandon Sanderson's books famously go through four (?) stages of feedback before they get published...). Some scenes just get dropped in editing because when you see it on screen it feels redundant or not quite right, so it gets taken out before it changes what they want the audience to take away from other scenes. Movies and tv shows that have months between filming and airing dates usually solve this issue with test screening audiences and several runs of editing. There have been instances of Movies having test screenings at cinemas and then having their release date scrapped because they have to be re-edited completely as a result of unexpected audience feedback. GmmTV series being on smaller budgets and timeframes results in this time window falling away and relying on observing audience reactions to already aired episodes closely and then editing the next episode close to its release is one strategy to still ensure that you bring across what you wanted to (Kdramas also do this very frequently). It might not be ideal but it's not unusual and it certainly does not mean that anything substantial from the story was changed. All the storybeats as well as the character and relationship development remained the same because they already had everything filmed. They did not do reshoots or we'd know it. The story was planned this way. It was in the script. If you did not like it, then you did not like it. But don't accuse the directors of "bending to the will of fans" bc that's just plain wrong.

I too have my issues with some of the writing and some of the characterizations. But let's keep the criticism where it is actually deserved ok?

Edit: I have also seen quite a few people over here and also on Twitter say how disappointed they are in the "editing based on audience reaction" and that they should release a "directors cut" with all the scenes but like....this IS the directors cut. THEY decided how to edit this because the original intent is not always what arrives in the brains of the audience. Storytelling is a two-way street and if a massive chunk of your audience interprets a part of your story so differently to how you intended it to be understood, edits are necessary. Because that means that your intent is not communicated well enough.

#only friends #ofts #only friends the series #I said pretty much the same things a few weeks back added onto someone else's post a few weeks back #back when that interview with jojo and ninew came out where they first said they look at audience reaction before they edit the next ep #I thought we got past that but apparently not #apparently people need to justify their own frustrations towards the writing and the storyline in weird ways #blame it on 'couple fans' #completely ignoring that realistically most people who got interested in this show found it through the mock trailer release #way back when the eclipse had barely finished airing and enchenté was also only a few months out #heck I hadn't even watched those two shows when the mock trailer came out and I went insane #haven't watched any other forcebook show to this day and while I liked the eclipse I certainly wouldn't have called myself a firstkhao stan #and still it was obvious to me from the mock trailer way back when and then the proper trailer a few months ago who would end up with who #I just feel like a lot of y'all were anticipating a different show than what it was advertising itself as...

Let's Talk About Books Some More

I'm back for another quick chat about books I'm looking forward to reading, and books that I'm hoping to read very soon. Come check it out!

Hey all, Sam here. All right. I’m at Gen Con and it’s been a lot of fun, and the panels at the Writer’s Symposium have been excellent this year, and it’s definitely gotten me very focused on books. And yes, that does include thinking about my own books too…so hopefully I’ll have a lot to talk about in next week’s WIP Wednesday post about that. But, it’s also very tiring. We’ve gotten to our…

Aquarius and the Rowan Tree Signs

#fernweh saga #silas dorran #sofia dorran #RO aesthetics #RO birthdays #long post #yes; it's been 84 years but! I am /finally/ revealing some of the characters' birthdays in anticipation of the release date on January 5th! #(😁 am I going to include that date in most tags/posts as a gentle reminder? possibly. 😌) #I started with S since their birthday comes the earliest in the year out of the ROs. #you can click on the images to make the text larger; they are all pretty big! :D #one thing to note is the use of Celtic astrology; it's important in TFS. It might be cool to look up where your MC falls on the calendar. #who do queue think you are?

ok we know Nightmare plays Animal Crossing but what would his opinion on Stardew Valley be?

I think his opinion would be “meh.” It is cute and there is some collecting involved but it’s all pixels, farms aren’t interesting to him, and the dating aspect Killer explained made him roll his eyelight. He doesn’t need or want a virtual spouse.

#i looooved Harvest Moon for the Super Nintendo. #I played it so much #I read about it in a Nintendo power magazine and was all set on buying it #but they stores near me never got it on the release day. #found my copy in a game stop on a trip to my grandma’s house #she didn’t have a Super Nintendo and her TV was old… so I had to wait to play it a week before we went home. #I read the instruction manual cover to cover every day in anticipation #I knew how to play that game like I had been playing it all my life when I turned it on #played it the very next day after we got home #I was never an early riser but I got up that day before everyone else and played all day… #then I got my mom into it X3 #basically #I think I’d like Stardew Valley if I ever get around to playing it #since I loved Harvest Moon so much #and I heard it was like the original Harvest Moons. #the first few when the focus was your farm and life #what Nightmare likes most about Animal Crossing is the collection aspect of it. #you collect for the museum fossils n bugs n fishe #you collect furniture n floors n wall styles #heck #you even collect clothing and pictures of residents when they move #that is what he enjoys #collecting #flowers #forgot that you collect those #and yes #he will make sure to hire Dust to go through and water the flowers for him to make sure he has at least one of each color. #but he is a busy skeleton and forgets at times #he does need someone to either remind him to water the flowers or do it for him #and he trusts Dust to not accidentally run through his roses.

“Why the hell is Matthew Healy riding Carly Hann’s horse?!” George exclaimed, flinging open the door to storm into Jamie’s office, taking care to make sure the door was shut again behind him. He was surprised Jamie was even out so early, sitting in front of the computer with his reading glasses perched on the end of his nose. “He’s bad fucking news, Matthew Healy?!” George said, shaking his head as he ran his fingers through his close cropped, bleached hair.
