I found at the thrift shop these old books. They're part of a collection about famous women in history. I bought these for now (for 2€ each) and I can't wait to read them✨

Their laughter calmed. She smiled, staring up at him, her heart fluttering. He held her gaze. The world faded away. Everything became distant, leaving the two of them alone. She bit her lip, and he glanced down at it for a second.

He leaned down. Slow. Her stomach somersaulted, but she couldn't decide if it was from excitement or nerves.

He moved closer. His mouth parted. Soft breath hit her face. A second quick glance to her lips. He stared at her, his eyes asking for permission.

—excerpt from my original Wattpad novel, “Possibilities.”

» Most owned genre? hello my friends, I would say I own mostly fantasy books. It’s the genre I read the most as well. So it only make sense. I do have a good amount of contemporary books as well. But fantasy will always have my heart. » hashtags:. #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #sundayshelfie #shelfiesunday #shelfie #shelf #bookcommunity #bookcollector #homelibrary #bookspines #lotsofbooks #bookcollection #bookcollecting #librariesofinstagram #personallibrary #ilovebooks #mybooks #booksaremylife #bookworm #booklover #booklove (at Boise, Idaho) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cokma11rcvS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My Fantasy Books

All my stories take place in a fantasy world called the Pentagonal Dominion. It's a collection of planes connected to Earth, but I don't include humans (with one exception). Any time I mention a year, it's that world's year, not in any way connected to years on Earth.

Please be aware that ALL my books are for 18+ only. Though they vary in the exact kind of content, you can expect them all to include some degree of violence, swearing, sexual content, or dark themes not appropriate for MG or YA books.

Map of the PD made by @dewiwrites

Merchants of Knowledge and Magic is my first novel, taking place in the year 561.

STATUS: Published

Cover was drawn by @crossroadart-seabear . In fact, for the sake of making tags easier, all the art I'm going to include in this update post will be by them, lol.

It follows the journey of an intersex dragonfly-person, Calinthe, who travels across the many planes of the Pentagonal Dominion in search of secrets which she feeds to her boss in exchange for goods and promises of retirement. Calinthe follows a religion which forbids its followers from using money. She is sent on a quest by her boss, the Demon Lord of Ignorance, to retrieve his henchman who was captured by slavers in the Women's Republic of Ophidia, a land where women enslave all men, intersex, agender, trans, or any people they deem "not female enough" by their standards.

MoKaM is the 'brain' or 'mind' of the Merchants trio. Calinthe is intelligent, clever, sassy, and a little bit arrogant. She devoted to her God, Lucognidus, but around others, she can be brash.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Merchants of Light and Bone is my second novel, taking place in the year 561 concurrently with MoKaM.

STATUS: Due to be published in August 2023

Pictured above: Su, one of Amiere's two spouses.

MoLaB is the story of a father who lost his daughter in a freak earthquake accident and his journey through coping with trauma, saving a girl who is being abused by her father, and seeking answers for his own daughter's strange death (after all, how can a freak earthquake happen in a world with no plate tectonics? They don't even have a word for 'earthquake').

MoLaB's setting is tropical, taking place almost entirely on Aloutia, on the equatorial coastline. The main character, Amiere, is a polyamorous bisexual lion-man with a wife, enby husband, and several kids. He works as a merchant of light, carving glowing crystals into statues for customers.

MoLaB is the 'heart' or 'soul' of the Merchants trio. It emphasizes powerful, sad emotions, contrasting beautiful scenery with the tempest of emotions bubbling inside Amiere's heart.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Merchants of Dance and Hedonism is the third Merchants novel, taking place in the year 561 concurrently with MoKaM and MoLaB

STATUS: On hold

MoDaH is about a genderless shapeshifting person, Tynan, who came into existence at the start of the book. Born with the power to transform into almost anything (within a size limit) and the power to *know* anything they wish, they are born as the perfect assassin. Which is exactly what a "merchant of dance" is: a magic-using assassin sent to eradicate other magic-users, demons, or high-class targets. If Tynan chooses not to engage in such activities, their country will end up going to war with Ophidia (feminist nation which enslaves all non-women) and the Makai (demon nation that kills all people to recycle their parts and revive them as demons). And if that happens, their sisters will be drafted into the war as child soldiers.

MoDaH is the 'body' of the Merchants trio. Tynan is a shapeshifter and many of the problems they face are solved through creative and clever use of transformations.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good Thyme With Bad Company takes place in the year 300.

STATUS: Currently writing

It's less of a traditional novel and more of a collection of short stories, microfiction, and completely out-of-place smut about the cast of characters who have infested my mind palace for the last few months.

It's best described as "Polycule of characters living in a dystopic capitalist steampunk hellscape fighting to change the genre of their book to cozy fantasy."

The characters live and work in a warm, steampunk/fantasy aesthetic inn called the Good Thyme Inn, working to pay their ever-increasing rent while finding joy and love in their fellow found family members, many of whom have faced horrific traumas.

The second half of the book, once some of their problems have been 'resolved', focuses on the cozy aspects. These characters love and adore one another and many scenes in this part of the book will be cute, slice-of-life, or smutty in nature, while laying low on the trauma or violence.

This book is currently my precious. It's near and dear to my heart. I am obsessed with my characters and their dynamics. I hope my readers will fall in love with them as much as I have!

When this comic was published in 1991, it was the biggest event that had ever taken place in my life. I bought 6 copies of this comic when I was 12 years old. Why did I buy 6 copies? Because it was the biggest event that had ever taken place in my life, and the comic book industry and my local comic book store owner (his name was Al . . . Big Al, and I’ll never forget him) had us all convinced that, much like the first issues of comics released in the 1960s, each copy of X-Force #1, each of the MILLIONS of copies of this comic that they sold, would eventually be worth thousands of dollars. They actually poly-bagged this comic with one of five trading cards in order to make us feel like we HAD to buy multiple copies, like it would be financially irresponsible of us NOT to, and this was the first time in the history of such bullshit that they ever did that. So, of course, I bought five bagged copies which I did not open, and a reading copy, because that is what I had to do. And I still have them to this day.

Do you know how much these comics are worth today? Less than what I paid for them. Do I carry any animosity which I unfairly take out on Rob Liefeld on my Tumblr blog which is nearly as pathetic as buying six copies of this comic when I was 12? Yes. Yes I do. Waitwaitwait... I just found two more copies under the sink in the bathroom.

Does anybody want to buy these off me? (X-Force #1 - Aug 1991)

» how do you organize your shelves? hello friends, I rearranged a bit this week. I got a lot of sequels so I had to move some stuff around. Still organize by size and I highly doubt I’ll change it. It just looks so freaking nice. ♡ I really wish I had a separate area so I could do rainbow shelves. They are so pretty! » hashtags:. #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #sundayshelfie #shelfiesunday #shelfie #shelf #bookcommunity #bookcollector #homelibrary #bookspines #lotsofbooks #bookcollection #bookcollecting #librariesofinstagram #personallibrary #ilovebooks #mybooks #booksaremylife #bookworm #booklover #booklove (at Boise, Idaho) https://www.instagram.com/p/CleiqWUS5sI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

💬 What was your most recent book mail? 📖🤎 I just received this beauty the other day and I can’t wait to read it! RUST IN THE ROOT hits shelves September 20th! Thank you to @epicreads for gifting me this early copy! . . . s u m m a r y : The author of the visionary New York Times bestseller Dread Nation returns with another spellbinding historical fantasy set at the crossroads of race and power in America. It is 1937, and Laura Ann Langston lives in an America divided—between those who work the mystical arts and those who do not. Ever since the Great Rust, a catastrophic event that blighted the arcane force called the Dynamism and threw America into disarray, the country has been rebuilding for a better future. And everyone knows the future is industry and technology—otherwise known as Mechomancy—not the traditional mystical arts. Laura disagrees. A talented young queer mage from Pennsylvania, Laura hopped a portal to New York City on her seventeenth birthday with hopes of earning her mage’s license and becoming something more than a rootworker…. . . . h a s h t a g s : #rustintheroot #justinaireland #bookmail #bookstagrammer #mybookfeatures #mybooks #readingtime #bookstagram #bookishflatlay #flatlaystyle #flatlaytoday #booksandcoffee #cottagecore #cozyacademia #photographylife #bookblogger #inspiremyinstagram #cozyaesthetic #bookstagramaesthetic #booklovers https://www.instagram.com/p/ChBL0aUN-AJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
