I rebound This Is How You Lose the Time War because I wanted MORE COLORS.
(And also maybe the idea of using that tweet by Bigolas Dickolas as a blurb tickled me greatly. Because that whole situation was a highlight of my month.)
❤️ Did the cover with the same birds but added plot relevant double exposure effect I’ve loved since my True Detective days.
💜 Used purple fabric for the spine, painted the edges in a fun gradient, sewn the endbands;
💙 and used lovely fluid art by Marek Okon for endpapers.
Now no one in my household stands a chance of avoiding exposure to this gorgeous story ❤️💜💙

― Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone, This Is How You Lose the Time War
[text ID: I love you. I love you. I love you. I'll write it in waves. In skies. In my heart. You'll never see, but you will know. I'll be all the poets, I'll kill them all and take each one's place in turn, and every time love's written in all the strands it will be to you.]

"I want to be a body for you. I want to chase you, find you, I want to be eluded and teased and adored; I want to be defeated and victorious—I want you to cut me, sharpen me. I want to drink tea beside you in ten years or a thousand..."

Red and Blue from “This is How You Lose the Time War” by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone.
I love this book. It’s so good just read it if you haven’t. And if you have, read it again.

I would have fought you forever. I would have wrestled you through time.
I would have turned you, and been turned.

I know that everyone loves the lesbian spy-versus-spy drama in "This Is How You Lose The Time War," but what I really loved about it is that it's such a gleeful fuck you to the "Great Man" theory of history. The agents don't go around assassinating Socrates or giving Napoleon an AK-47 at Waterloo or whatever; they're subtle; they make some slight change somewhere along the timeline that sets off a series convoluted dominoes over the course of centuries to eventually achieve the outcome that they want. History is a chaotic system and everything js connected with everything else.
