When my mother was alive, I was a different person. That little girl wore simple clothes and wildflowers in her hair and could sing any aria or tavern song known in the Northern Kingdoms.

pickI'm reading these as my library holds come in. I don't think it's massively important to read them in order. This is book 5, I've read 1 and 2.
The writing has improved loads. It read like original fiction and not reworked fanfic. It's still simplistic and a lot of things are touched on but not fully explored.

My husband & I didn‘t exchange gifts since we decided we‘d rather use that money to take a mini vacation (sans kids). Although I did order myself 2 books I‘ve really wanted to read.
pickVery charming and cozy watching these two work hard to figure each other out and grow closer. I wound up looking qualia since it never came up in the book, and understanding this concept of fleeting moments and one-time experiences really heightened my experience of this quiet, slow-paced story. #Manga #LGBTQIA
pickThis is a really interesting, thought-provoking primer on gender non conformity. You may not agree with Alok's critique of the gender binary, but their counter arguments to common criticisms of gender nonconforming people are well put.
so-soNate‘s just looking for a break after losing his job. Then he gets sort of kidnapped by a former Marine & a girl w/ too many secrets on the run from the government.
Fun road trip story, kind of like a queer Firestarter meets ET w/ interesting characters (especially Art!). The pacing felt off, particularly in the 1st half, & the narrative got a bit repetitive, but it‘s also a sweet story of finding family in the face of destruction.🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑
