#tell me something tuesday
Text
Hello, lovelies! Tell Me Something Tuesday is a meme created by Rainy Day Ramblings and currently hosted by Because Reading Is Better Than Real Life, That's What I'm Talking About, For What It's Worth, Book Girl of Mur-y-Castell and Offbeat YA. It provides weekly discussion prompts on various book and blogging topics with optional participation. You can sign up for prompts here.
This week’s prompt is: Which books are you looking forward to reading this Spring? (March-May)
I've almost met my winter goals of knocking out my NetGalley list and one of my sequel piles, and the next three reads I have lined up are mostly tying up loose ends from those.
Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi
This is the group read for Forgotten YA Gems and one of my friend, Tink's, favorite books, and I'm so excited to finally get to it! Feel free to join us for discussions!
The Trespasser by Tana French
I saved this for last in my sequel pile because I love the Dublin Murder Squad so much, and I'm not sure I'm ready for it to be over!
The Black Guy Dies First: Black Horror Cinema from Fodder to Oscar by Robin R. Means Coleman & Mark H. Harris
I did finish my NetGalley queue (I promise!), but then I got an invitation to read this book and couldn't resist. Anyway, is an NG queue ever really over?
After these, my reading list is pretty wide open. I'll probably work on my second sequel pile (there were three piles total, don't look at me) and mix it up with whatever I'm feeling so it doesn't become joyless. I’m excited not to have a set list for the first time this year!

photoset: law school edition !!
i've been unusually neat on this studyblr because i'm doing an experiential semester and i only have one seminar—but when i'm back at school and taking a full load of classes, i'm nothing but messy, especially during finals......enjoy the chaos! (this will be me next semester)
#yes those are crystals to help me manifest because i needed everything to get me through law school.....#you can tell when it's finals season based on peak messy#also i just realized how much trash/empty bottles/wrappers are in my pics... i'm always snacking on something#studyblr#tea-tuesday#study inspiration#mine#lawblr#studyspo#study#studying#law school#study motivation#photoset#chaotic academia

“Amore et Timore” - King Fernando I “El Animoso”
#*why is it that when I write tags that are genuinely imporant and wordy it always doesnt save UGH#well. ill try and rewrite them.#hahaha I bring you curly haired king Fernando!!(mostly for cofi)#2011 monza gp core Fernando that gripped us all by the throat right?? right????#also i hope that his hair doesn't appear red to you like it did to me on my pc??? its brown I assure you#anyways! historical context for nerds like me:#'el animoso'(the spirited) comes from Philip V of course#it was apparently bestowed on him bcs of his perseverance and unwavering fervor in battle#and is that not the most Fernando coded thing youve ever heard?????#'Amore et Timore'(through love and fear) however comes from Joseph I#whom seb is partially based on but i thought his Latin motto fit Nando way better so here we are#philip v didn't have a motto as far as i could tell so that's why I stole Joseph's#but i do think the motto for the Spanish kingdom fits Fernando's career pretty well?#'A solis ortu usque ad occasum'(from sunrise to sunset) and i think that suits Fernando's 'longest f1 career ever' p well#anyways I sent a sketch of this to cofi the other day like yeah I probably wont finish this#and now here i am on 5 am on a tuesday grinning manically sleep deprived like HERE YOU GO#i think he looks very cute in this!!! i really did a lot of work on his eyelashes...very important detail to me#he kinda accidentally looks like Louis XIV unfortunately#but thats down to his hair I think. it looks a lot more like the traditional wig style from then compared to what I typically draw#but god imagine being seb in this au!!! you get to wake up next to this majestic beast....#seb would have this painting framed over his bed or something. i mean who wouldn't????#f1#formula 1#fernando alonso#f1 fanart#formula 1 fanart#catie.art.#boy king au

did you know... that if you don’t kudos/comment on fics... authors don’t know you read and enjoyed them...
#in a fandom i was in i had someone dm me and say 'omg why'd you stop writing x? i loved it!'#the fic in question had like. 3 kudos? and their ao3 handle wasn't one of them#bestie!! how was i supposed to know anyone was reading it!!#i apologize for the salt on this fine tuesday morning but good lord#im not a mind reader#yes i write for myself but yes engagement helps me stay motivated too#my post#sidenote: this might have been an ffn fic actually. so not kudos but favorites or whatever#but my point stands!!#my memory may be bad but that does not negate my correctness lmao#an author Cannot Know anyone has read and enjoyed their fics unless they are TOLD#addendum that dms on tumblr/ffn/platform of choice are also a fine way to tell authors you like their fic#it was more that they'd never interacted with my stuff before and only engaged to ask why something was discontinued

#tw suicide#no seriously heed the tw this is probably upsetting i just. i need to say it somewhere and i will not say it to my family.#puddleglum hours#personal#its just i was thinking.#tother day the doctor asked: do you regret it? about the suicide attempt tuesday night.#and i said something that i still feel: if i regret anything about it it's that i didn't succeed.#they're talking of discharging me tomorrow or something and im just.#what do i need to do to be kept in for longer?! damn it all i *know* how i could kill myself in here.#but i don't want to. i need them to save me#because i can't save myself! if they discharge me tomorrow i think it very likely ill be dead before the end of the week! or at least in#hospital from another attempt! this new med has made me more numb but the thoughts haven't gone away just muted. and then.#at times like this im perfectly wild about it! i cannot keep myself alive i need them to do it for me!#but when ive seen the doctor each time its been when im exhausted and numb and i don't care but that is not the case always.#i don't know. i don't see a good outcome any which way.#hopefully tomorrow the doctor sees me at a time when im feeling like this i think.#because i think i need to tell them. but i don't know how or even if it matters#and sometimes i just want to die.#im so tired of living guys. why#editing to add i am still on hiatus and if you want to contact me and know my discord contact me there#so i will not be responding to anything here for this moment at least

Hello, lovelies! Tell Me Something Tuesday is a meme created by Rainy Day Ramblings and currently hosted by Because Reading Is Better Than Real Life, That's What I'm Talking About, For What It's Worth, Book Girl of Mur-y-Castell and Offbeat YA. It provides weekly discussion prompts on various book and blogging topics with optional participation. You can sign up for prompts here.
This week’s prompt is: What are some of your favourite indie/small pub authors/books?
I adore this prompt because I have SO many small/indie press books that I love that don't get enough attention. It's the saddest thing to love an incredible gem of a book and know it’s not getting the proper hype. I was going to try to narrow this list down to five (and then ten), but these all deserve my love and recognition, so here are ten indie/small press books you might not have heard of, and two you probably have (although if you've spent any amount of time on my blog, you’ve probably heard me screeching about all of them before).
The Art of Escaping by Erin Callahan (Amberjack Publishing)
I could scream forever about Callahan's writing. She's easily one of my favorite small press authors, and I would read anything she ever published without question. A very well-done YA contemporary coming-of-age story about authenticity and friendship, with barely a hint of romance.
Dream Keeper by Amber R. Duell (The Parliament House)
Why why why haven't more people read this book? It's A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) meets Rise of the Guardians (2012), complete with Sandman and Weaver, a sweet romance, and some truly spectacular world-building. I haven't stopped raving since I read it.
The Goblins of Bellwater by Molly Ringle (Central Avenue Publishing)
There isn't enough goblin fiction out there, in my opinion (and I've looked), but this is easily my favorite of what I've read. It's a paranormal romance with complicated characters and a gorgeous setting, where goblins are pure and simply the villains-- no sexy goblin king here.
The Shadow Glass by Josh Winning (Titan Books)
Speaking of sexy goblin kings. Hi, hello, have you heard me screaming about this book too? Fans of 80s nostalgia fantasy like The NeverEnding Story (1984) and Labyrinth (1986) will find so much to love about this. It’s basically a spiritual sequel to those films about what happens when we grow up and don't believe in magical worlds anymore--and how much we still need them, even as adults. Complete with talking puppets!
Daphne by B.C. Johnson (self-published)
Technically, this is a horror novella set in the Deadgirl universe, but it's my favorite in the series, and I don't think readers unfamiliar with the other books will have trouble following it. If you need a violent, lesbian harpy in your life, with a blend of Greek/Norse mythology and a body count, this is for you. You had me at eat them alive.
Smoke and Key by Kelsey Sutton (Entangled Teen)
Yet another book I can't believe more people haven't read. It's such a strange, gruesome little afterlife story with a dash of romance, like The Corpse Bride (2005) without the slapstick humor or the singing. Exactly my kind of weird.
The Chronology of Water by Lidia Yuknavitch (Hawthorne Books)
A gut-wrenching and beautifully crafted memoir about what happens to women in particular when we don’t fit the labels our culture has made for us. Fans of Cheryl Strayed will adore it.
After Always by Barbara J. Hancock (Entangled Teen)
Sometimes the blend of paranormal and romance hits exactly the right note, and this book nails it. I adore the haunted house setting and the lovely, atmospheric writing, but I stayed for the excellent character arc of Lydia both grieving her lost boyfriend and realizing he wasn't good for her.
Theories of Forgetting by Lance Olsen (Fiction Collective 2)
If you like experimental fiction at all, you absolutely need to read some Olsen. While I feel it's not quite as thematically whole as Calendar of Regrets, it might be a bit more accessible. It's smart and easy to read if not to understand, since while there are a lot of big concepts in here, the writing itself isn't overly complicated (also assuming you can decide where to start, since both sides look like the back cover of the book-- good luck!).
We Told Six Lies by Victoria Scott (Entangled Teen)
This is a weird, fucked up little thriller about a toxic relationship, so of course that's exactly why I love it. The characters are complex, codependent, and completely unaware of how badly they behave, and the plot is tense and mysterious. One of my favorite underrated YA thrillers.
Not Your Sidekick by C.B. Lee (Duet Books)
We've reached the part of my list where you've probably heard of these books, but they're well-worth mentioning, especially for superhero fans. Great characters, fun world-building, and excellent queer representation across the board.
The Foxhole Court by Nora Sakavic (self-published)
You knew this was going to make the list, right? This book is so immensely popular on Tumblr that sometimes I forget it was a self-pub. I've read and reread it so many times, and the characters are so compelling, the story so immersive, that once I've started the first, I can't stop until I've finished the trilogy. Well-deserving of its hype.

Dear Warhammer fandom, we can't continue like this. 6500 works on Ao3 is nothing for such a large community that's been around for so long. Where are you hiding your fics? Why haven't you handed them over to Ao3's gentle loving hands? Rogue Trader's been out for four months and there's only 280 fics? And the ship that I would have assumed would be the most obvious disaster ship has one fic? One?
Please don't force me to start more WIPs to amend the situation. I already have too many and they inevitably grow to novel length stories.
#warhammer 40k#rogue trader#I've been sick and tried to find something to read while I Endured#are you telling me the old school Harry Potter fandom was more unhinged than fans of *the* grimdark setting? really??#no I refuse#I refuse to believe that this is all there is >:I#canon is too weird for it not to have inspired absolute insanity#you cannot convince me I'm in any way original with the Stupid Sexy Khorne thing#that should be generic 'yeah it's Tuesday' stuff

It continues to give me the warm fuzzies that basically every person at work has said they'll miss me. And it's not really utility, even if I'm useful; I am not in a critical position. There are many people who can do the things I do, even if the majority are less experienced. I'm not management, or a lynchpin, just a long-time worker bee.
But people like me, and I just handled a Crisis Situation well enough that the AD took the time to personally thank me, and my manager was like 'not only am I willing to be a reference you can use my personal phone number if that's easier' and even some of the newest additions said they're going to miss me on desk, and I just.
I love my job and my coworkers and it's really nice that the people there know it and love me back.
#I told mom about Crisis Situation#and tonight when dad got home she was like COME IN AND TELL YOUR DAD#and then both of them were like WHEN COMPANY COMES NEXT WEEK TELL THEM TOO#haha#I mean dad did follow it up with 'no you may not drive across the country alone we will figure something out'#I'm gonna work on him about it we tried the thing where all of us are in one vehicle#Tuesday screamed the whole time and mom wanted to kill her and also me#I shall remind him of that#I think he will probably come around#if I could convince someone to come with I would probably make it an actual road trip#'come to TX for the eclipse!'#'we will drive through the deep south and hit some Neat Shit and then go up the coast!'#like you could make that a fun drive#I'm not gonna do the long version if I'm solo tho bc my parents are convinced I will be murdered#which is silly; I have not infrequently been in Situations and strangers have been kind#also the odds of getting strangermurdered for no damn reason are SO low#and the incentives to murder Me Specifically are also very low#and if a white cishet-passing woman dies 90% of the time it's a romantic partner and I'm aroace so like#I really wonder what they're imagining is gonna happen#babble tea (blacklist this for less chatter)#tea writes tag novels
