And I am enjoying it muchly.
It’s a fucking tome of a book, the first in what looks like a fucking marathon of a series. I love the short chapters and how it doesn’t dwell on shit but gets right to the point. Makes it very easy to read.

I hate it when characters make epically stupid choices, it makes me want to throw the book across the room. Instead, I end up speed reading the stupid parts, which usually ends up with me DNFing the book itself. Ugh.
Reverie is getting pretty good. Starts out with lots of questions and then really warms up around chapter 5. I like the revelation that the main character has lost more than just short term memory.
No joy finding a new fave author just yet, but I did read System Collapse by Martha Wells, which was enjoyable as always, and I’ve just started Reverie by Ryan La Sala and it’s “so far so good!”
It’s good, a space opera/fantasy mashup with gods and sentient spaceships, but… I’m conflicted. I made the mistake of reading the blurbs of the other books in the trilogy and I’m not getting happily ever after vibes, and that is not fun.
We all know how I ❤️ Happy Endings.
Middle of scene, stops writing to ponder question: what do raw potatoes smell like?
*stuffs nose in bag of potatoes.*
Answer: Nothing. Absolutely, fucking nothing.
Fuck you, potatoes.
I am writing a thing to practice a thing (which may or may not have anything to do with a story called Letters I’ll Never Send, which is awesome, just FYI), and it’s not doing what I want.
*sigh* I guess this is why it’s called “practice”.
I’m writing a thing (the kind that may require a pen name) and my analytical brain is “you can’t do that, it’s stupid” and my writing brain is “shut up, it works, go with it”.
Guess which is winning?
So, Ceylon Pekoe and Rose Petals take 2. This time I tried 1 tsp of ceylon pekoe with 1/2 tsp of rose petals, brewed for 4 minutes and served with milk.
The verdict: Glorious and yet frustrating. Glorious because black tea with milk is always so, and frustrating because that half teaspoon of rose petals just leaves my tastebuds wanting more.
My first Monstrositea Tea Subscription came this week, including a sample of ceylon pekoe and one of rose petals. I immediately tired one of their suggested recipes (1/2 tsp of ceylon pekoe and 1/2 tsp of rose petals). Brewed for 5 minutes, served black.
Verdict: Not the best cup of tea I’ve ever had. I’m definitely a black tea kind of girl, and this needs more of it.
