Instead of working on my two WIP's (one is book 2 of a series, the other, a novella), I just wanna draw and design book covers all day.
@labradorgirl I do this with chores and audiobooks! Luckily, I can check out audiobooks from my library and just listen to them on the Libby app. Usually books that have a waitlist are easier to get without a waitlist in audiobook format.
@jmccyoung Haha funny I tried to read Battle of the Linguist Mages but put it down. Too much glitter and just toooo extra for me. I really wanted to like it too, but it just didn’t click after a chapter or two.
@jmccyoung Wow, that's quite an endorsement! I miscalculated and did the one-two punch of reading the ____ (TW) of Nanjing right before Poppy War, which Kuang said she based some of the violence off of, and it was...not a good time. I think if I hadn't read that other book so close to Poppy, I could have handled it better.

(2/2) When the book first came out, it seemed right up my alley since I did my undergrad in linguistics, but TBH I was still recovering from reading the bleakness of Poppy War years ago. For someone who plays super violent video games, reading about that amount of violence was too much for me.

(1/2) Thanks to that *one* Babel review and the uproar it caused, I went out and bought the book (and I almost *never* buy hardcovers) and moved it up in my TBR pile. I gotta read this book that makes white people so angry 😆

@Marcociappelli I didn't want to read too many reviews of it, but so far it feels like necormancer fantasy in space, so fantasy/sci-fi crossover. With swords!

@Marcociappelli LTTP but I’m finally starting Gideon the Ninth and it is a wild, wild ride. A lot of WTF is going on???

I’m still at that stage where I am shocked when I get a 5-star review on my book from a stranger. 🥺
