So much for elected officials and democracy.

That’s pretty amazing.

I’m sure it’s not too many šŸ˜†
comment in response to post
That makes COMPLETE sense to me. šŸ˜† I definitely immediately thought of several.

Read it twice and decided it was silly to keep getting it from the library, so bought a copy *while at book club*.

I think you will also really enjoy Thornhedge! Where Nettle and Bone was reminiscent of a dark fairy tale Thornhedge is a literal dark retelling of Sleeping Beauty as only T Kingfisher could. If you haven’t read A Sorceress Comes To Call you will probably also enjoy that one too!

There are a few books that I always think of when I think of Anne McCaffrey and this is one of them.

Book clubs are awesome!

I just finished that one a few weeks ago—I really enjoyed it as well! Even though it’s much more ā€œrollicking fantasyā€ she still managed to slide in some creepy monsters šŸ˜†

Yes! It’s waiting on my TBR shelf!
comment in response to post
Noted! I haven’t read those yet.
comment in response to post
Yes, a number of them but certainly not all of them yet! I have a few more older ones already sitting in my TBR. She’s an instabuy for me every time a new one comes out though.
comment in response to post
100% agree—Thornhedge was one of the first I picked up but she very quickly became instabuy for me.

Yes! When viewed from 1000ft, there are broad similarities in our journeys. Get closer in, though, and I have not accidentally killed any previous datefriends, nor am I immortal. šŸ˜† Sometimes the story that happens is the story we didn’t know we needed.

I am trying to be patient but it is hard. šŸ˜† I did get a little preview when my character’s bodyguard got her twin’s debrief. I am mostly just stuck on how awesome everyone is and how lucky I was to get to play this game with them.

For a moment on day 3 I thought I’d run out her story a few hours too soon but then everyone else’s drama caught up with her so it landed a nice bittersweet ending with a hopeful tint.
comment in response to post
It was a pretty amazing experience! Halfway through day 2 I thought I knew exactly where she was going with an absolutely broken heart after a wonderful screaming/sobbing scene, and then one interaction that afternoon changed everything.

The moment when larp magic took me from playing to find out how my character was going to die/go evil (my loose assumption about her probable direction going in) to giving her a path to self acceptance/validation and independence. Definitely got unexpectedly personal in there!

It was the Mooney Bin Dresden Files 1923. There were 105 players and ~15 staff I believe. They just finished the second run yesterday and I desperately want to hear stories from my character twin for the March run. I’ve never played one that big before and it’s wild how plot ripples around!
comment in response to post
Yeah, it’s a damn good quote.
comment in response to post
Me, skimming bluesky: wait, wasn’t Emma Goldman one of the Dresden characters….? OH IT’S BETH šŸ˜†šŸ˜†šŸ˜†
comment in response to post
Good! Maybe she didn’t actually notice me and I can back away slowly. Seems safer.
comment in response to post
….but I am less likely to be crawling, screaming, sobbing, begging my dead girlfriend to forgive me. At least I hope.
comment in response to post
Not sure! I miss it—haven’t been to any conventions still since lock down. Only tried to murder myself with a giant larp. šŸ˜†
comment in response to post
I keep checking myself but I’m responding in case *you* get a response (so that I’ll know too)!

SWEET I am re-energized to Make It Happen!

I have been trying to run this for years and am going to take another shot this summer—hopefully the scheduling will finally work! How was it??
