Does the fact that I tried several times to read #Tolkien and FAILED mean that I should give up trying to #read #fantasy? LOVED #aSoIaF, also love #HistoricalFiction (e.g. Follett) and #SciFi (HATED #Dune, I'm so sorry). #GothicHorror is cool too (Rice et.al).
Currently reading: Clockwork Angel (#Shadowhunter Chronicles) but I can feel I'm a bit tired of #YA atm. #LGBTQ #suggestions are very welcome.

My interpretation of Cersei Lannister, for example, is far, far different from that of GRRM or D&D, because I refuse to base it solely on the text itself. I did a whole Twitter thread about that, and I'll recreate it here eventually. 5/5

Five things about my work in progress:
1) Mardi Gras is more than a single day on the calendar.
2) College girls are full of angst.
3) Maybe basing this on the #ASoIaF Rhaegar Targaryen, Elia Martell and Lyanna Stark triangle wasn't the most stable foundation
4) Women supporting women is powerful
5) Southern women make the best threats/promises

Needed: #bookrecommendations for a finicky reader. Any genre, just nothing too political or too bloody with characters I feel I know. Book series are especially good because I hate stories ending 🤣 Love: #asoiaf (wish he’d finish writing it), Millennium series, Hunger games, anything by Fredrik Backman, etc. Was thinking maybe Mortal Instruments but maybe I’m too old for #ya ?
