@sheepnik In a vain attempt to reverse the polarities with regard to the spending of money, here's a bookmark I had made by a guy on Etsy. It's maple wood. #Bookstodon #StarlessSea #Bookmark #Merch #Fiction #Fantasy

“Change is what a story is, after all”(153).

I am 100% Erin Morgenstern’s audience. I mean, Zachary, the main character of The Starless Sea, is studying video games in college and loves reading books (there’s even a Dark Souls reference in the book, one of my all-time favorite games).

Anyone else wish they'd issue illustrated versions of Fates and Fortunes and Sweet Sorrows?

The very subtle nod to Night Circus in The Starless Sea is just amazing! OMG I loved this book and now I’m so confused. I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS.

This book is like a contemporary fairytale and a fever dream all wrapped up in poetic prose.

I can’t believe this might end up being the second book I pick up to re-read right after I finish it. Erin Morgenstern can write absolutely anything next and I’ll sell my soul to read it.

@aspiringcat You're not going to think this is possible, but her second book, The Starless Sea, is even better. I'm listening to the audiobook right now, for about the 20th time.
I think I'm going to read The Night Circus again.

“This is the rabbit hole. Do you want to know the secret to surviving once you’ve gone down the rabbit hole?… Be a rabbit,” she whispers. Erin Morgenstern, The Starless Sea.

Back in 2021, I read #GideonTheNinth, #Piranesi, and #StarlessSea, all of which have dungeon-crawl sections. I think there are some cool lessons we can take from them for #DnD and other #ttrpg.

They all do something different, and translate into gaming in different ways.
