I feel it. My reread of the series is going slower than planned, so I'll be way behind on start KoA.

You really should start with Assassin's Blade. Most consider it just a prequel and as such not required to read first. In my mind it ALWAYS goes first (especially with this series) since they were the first stories Sarah wrote in the series. Sarah herself said that she considers it book 0. There's a lot of things set up for the series that start in Assassin's Blade.

Hi Mary, I've never read the kingdom of ash series but am curious about it because of you. Can you give a short little overview of what the series is?

Hey love <3

The series is actually called Throne of Glass and Kingdom of Ash is the last book, set to come out on October 23rd :)

A brief overview of book 1, because going more into it isn’t possible without spoilers: it follows the story of an assassin, who participates in a tournament held by the king, in order to win her freedom. 

Hope you end up giving it a try! <3

Then you finally pick one, get five pages in and figure out that you're not actually in the mood for that book/type and start it all over again.

Deciding what book to read next is like a fucking military operation like do I want fantasy? romance? deep and meaningful? trashy?

Or do I just want to reread a book I’ve read 10 fucking times I just don’t know

I LOVED the first two books, but Obsidio is where I got stuck. I had to drag myself through a good half of that book because I didn't really care about the new people. As soon as I hit the tipping point though, it was amazing! Thank you so much for recommending these books! 😍

If you could recommend only one new book released from 2018, what would it be?

I’ve actually read very few 2018 releases, because money is tight as fuck and i’ve only bought books once this year, but my top pick would be Obsidio, the 3rd book in the Illuminae Files.

GUYS LITERALLY JUST PLEASE READ ILLUMINAE

IT WILL CHANGE YOUR WORLD

tumblr mirrors on ‘photosugar’

So idk if others have noticed this before - but it’s the first time I’m seeing this, hence the post.

There’s a website, https://www.photosugar.com, which apparently mirrors all pictures, gifsets etc. people post on their tumblrs (and also other social media sites like twitter and instagram, if I understand it correctly). An example for a tumblr user, with my name: https://www.photosugar.com/tu/lordhellebore

Now it won‘t turn up anything but a 404 error in my case, because I sent an e-mail to the contact address, which is darius@photosugar.com with the title “My content on your website”:

Hello, it’s come to my attention that you are mirroring all of the posts containing pictures/gifs that I post on my tumblr. I am asking you to stop pulling the content from my tumblr and to delete me from your website. tumblr username is „lordhellebore“ Thank you.

I got a reply consisting of the single word “removed” after just one day, and as you can see, it worked perfectly fine with the informal mail I sent. So if you want them to stop mirroring your tumblr, it seems all you really need to do is this.  

I can’t test the site for all of my mutuals, but I’m tagging a few whom I found on there by random trial & error, and I suggest you look yourself up if you see this post and dislike tumblr mirrors (even if this one is only for pictures, not text).

@janiedean, @ladytp, @vaysh11, @lunavagantt, @einemelodieimwind, @robb-greyjoy, @youbuggingme, @ysilme, @rex-luscus, @bai-xue, @viendiletto, @electricalice, @contessa-de-leusse, @memetic-mutism, @bluecichlid, @mrs-storm-andrews, @ladymothwing, @prismatic-bell, @kittykatknits, @tinkili

….basically, whomever I’m trying at random, it seems that you’re on there.

 Please reblog so others can know and ask for removal if they want to.

I've been thinking about reading those books, but didn't know if they would be any good.

I'm halfway through Illuminae and I feel like it's going to break me? D: I love it, though.

OMG YOU’RE READING MY FAVOURITE BOOKGOOD LUCKYOU’RE NOT PREPARED 😂😂😭😭

I love the Rylee Adamson books by Shannon Mayer. The first in the series is 'Priceless'.

Have there been any good books that you would recommend to someone? I'm going to start Six of Crows today, but then after that I have no ideas

Well I have three books in mind. A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab, and The Winner’s Curse by Marie Rutkosky. For both, I’ve only read the first book of each series yet but they were great I can’t wait to read more. And it’s not Fantasy but I also hugely recommend Aristote and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Saenz. Great great book!
