What's scarier, the masked cultist who murdered your neighbor and is coming for you... or dealing with your own Gender Feels?? Technically that latter bit is a spoiler but it's so very foreshadowed. Saying the book is "very YA" is compliment and critique in equal measure, but I did enjoy it.

Ooooh, absolutely!

They are! There's also a live-action Dog Man musical which I didn't get to see but Amber and Miley did. Amber's take was that it was very good, and Miley's only comment was that the woman who played Flippy the fish was extremely beautiful.

I don't know what to tell you, babe. I calls 'em as I sees 'em.

(I think the changes between 1 and 2 were a mixed bag; stress and dice breaking added complexity that mostly muddied the first game's depleting Condition bar, but the addition of glitched dice was interesting. I'd call it a modest improvement, but would easily recommend both)

Adam Scott?
Sigh. You are going to make fun of me, but I must speak my bisexual truth.
Adam Scott is quite handsome when he has a beard, but clean-shaven, not so much.

I'm not sure exactly where she got it, but the art is by Jenifer Prince, who has a lot of similarly-styled sexy sapphics. www.instagram.com/jeniferrprin...

My girlfriend has a few of her own, and gosh yes they are so consistently lovely and sexy, a delight to see when I walk into the room.

"FORFEITED FIRST HUSBAND TO RETAIN HOE'S FRIENDSHIP"
You know what? Hell yeah. Yass queen, even.

The sequel to City of Stairs; slightly less spycraft, slightly more war story. Gosh, is there any setting I love more than "the world used to be full of miracles but then everything collapsed and now we live in the broken-down remnants"?
There is not, I think. Make of that as you will.

Have you got a local library? They're unlikely to have the books on shelves, but you can always make a purchase request, and libraries LOVE fulfilling purchase requests, especially for inexpensive nonfiction to fill up their 400s shelves! Then Toki Pona will be free for you & everyone in your area.

Plasma-hot but also... correct? I will give points for playbooks as ready-to-print character sheets w/all class-specific details in place.
GM moves are neat because it's like what if we took good GM practices and codified them weirdly explicitly then got real real vague about when to deploy them.

Sometimes in my hateful little heart I feel like all the interesting things Apocalypse World did are undermined by bringing the phrase "Powered by the Apocalypse" into the world.

So, that's a cookie, which is good for you in the sense that it is preventing you from starving all the way to death.
I need to see you more often because then I can at least be certain that you're eating dinner.

For what it's worth, your girlfriend ALSO suspects you are underfeeding your body. She and I are forming a united front that A Snickers Is Not A Meal.

Whether I can be said to have "finished" Want is an open question; I didn't read it stem to stern because that would be a lot, even for me. Instead I picked it up and read a few pages more or less at random until my library told me they wanted it back. That seemed like the most sensible way to go.

An extensive collection of letters from women describing their sexual fantasies in fairly explicit (sometimes VERY explicit) detail, curated by Gillian Anderson. Yes, Agent Scully herself. It's like The Red Shoe Diaries from the Bizarro Universe. Fascinating stuff (in many ways).

Yes, I thing it. I thing it with my braing.
Sigh. Surely skeet-editing technology will exist someday. We must imagine Sisyphus editing skeets.

Romance/sci-fi novella! With crimes! There's a space heist, in which the viewpoint character is actively keeping secrets from the reader. The second in trilogy of novellas, they're breezy and fun. And the romance... is straight. Ramrod hetero, yet I'm still reading the series. That says something.

Given the last couple years, "pulled into the Russian wilderness and forced to serve as Grandmother's apprentice or be eaten alive" might have been a better option.

Also I wasted absolutely no time between getting this and annoying all my coworkers by speaking Toki Pona at them exclusively.
