Five-Star Reads for May 2024

[alwaysdeanw]

the way every cast that works with jensen ends up loving him is incredible ❤️

[randomlittleimp]

Started watching Big Sky. So far it's a bit soap opera-y. Hoping they get past that quick

[yezzyyae]

Watching “Security” on Netflix starting Antonio Banderas, Ben Kingsley, Jiro Wang, Gabriella Wright, Liam McIntyre, Katherine de la Rocha, & Chad Lindberg!

And it is a MUST-SEE! It’s so cheesy but good I was so invested in the characters living or dying I was talking to the tv on pens & needles! lol soo good Antonio & Ben & Liam & Chad did such a great job! 👏🏾

My new comfort movie 🎥

Or at least Every Witch I have a monster for at the moment. Will get back to some just in case I missed a background character, or random professor, or character exclusive to the games or manga. But for now, here is the new list~.

As for Professor Pisces, she's basically the same. I could make her a mermaid, but I feel like keeping her as a regular fish that's just sapient would be funnier. Besides, she know has an entire section of the school she can swim around in freely~! Yeah, I'll be getting to that eventually.

Finally, I've gotten this list all done and typed! Not lying, this took me literal days to finish since I couldn't think of monsters for some girls and kept switching species around! Luckily, the people I've asked say this list is good, which at least gives me some hope that I made the right choices for these characters. I'm not gonna lie, I can't wait to make spec evo bios for these girls and go into the culture and worldbuilding for monster/non-human societies~! And I'm gonna remake my old Bios now that there are more characters and I have some new abilities for them~! But for now, hold on tight, because this AU Revamp is just getting started!

Right before joining The Young and the Restless, Adams stepped into the role of Myrna Clegg on the defunct daytime drama Capitol after the departure of actress Carolyn Jones for health reasons, prior to Marj Dusay, who remained until the end of the show's run. As Helen Mullin on Generations, she was involved in a storyline with her husband, Charles, and his black mistress. She was the third actress to play Beth Logan, mother of Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang), Donna (Carrie Mitchum, now Jennifer Gareis), and Katie (Nancy Sloan, now Heather Tom) on The Bold and the Beautiful (1991). In 1999, she appeared on Days of Our Lives as Dr. Claire McIntyre.

In addition to her daytime works, Adams made more than 40 appearances on primetime television. She guest-starred on The New Dick Van Dyke Show, Adam-12, Starsky and Hutch, Marcus Welby, M.D., Phyllis, The Streets of San Francisco, Emergency!, The Love Boat, Barnaby Jones, Hart to Hart, Happy Days, Hill Street Blues, Who's the Boss?, Matlock; and Columbo. She also had a recurring role on Walker, Texas Ranger from 2000 to 2001. In 2000, she played First Lady Matthews in the television film The President's Man, starring Chuck Norris and Dylan Neal (Wikipedia)

end-of-year book asks: 3, 5, 6, 14, 22

3. What were your top five books of the year?

Not counting rereads, in order of when I read them:

2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke: Honestly surprised by how much I enjoyed it considering I've tried to watch the movie Multiple times and never managed to even finish.

Witch King by Martha Wells: Just had a lot of fun reading this one. Felt kind of self indulgent demon OC but slash positive

Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia Armfield: Spooky and uncomfortable, but in a good way

Leech by Hiron Ennes: Another spooky one I thought was fun

The Faded Sun trilogy by C.J. Cherryh: Enjoyed these a lot! I've been meaning to read C.J. Cherryh's books for years, and this was a really solid start. Need to read more good classic scifi.

5. What genre did you read the most of?

It's all scifi and fantasy babeyy. too lazy to figure out if one's more than the other, not to mention a fair amount of overlap, but it's probably pretty even

6. Was there anything you meant to read, but never got to?

Literally the only Star Wars Legends adult novels I have left are the last two Han Solo trilogy books and I have been putting them off for YEARS because I do Not care about Han Solo. But I suppose there's still time before the year is over...

14. What books do you want to finish before the year is over?

Current list to finish off "read every book nominated for a Nebula/Hugo/World Fantasy Award before 1980 written by a woman"

Andre Norton, Witch World

Patricia A. McKillip, The Forgotten Beasts of Eld

Vonda N. McIntyre, The Exile Waiting

Tanith Lee, The Birthgrave

Katherine MacLean, Missing Man

Tanith Lee, Night's Master

(I've been trying to finish The Birthgrave for a While, but it's pretty dire)

22. What’s the longest book you read?

Honestly I have no idea since it's not really something I track. Might be The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan?

Current Club Reads

Curious about what we're reading? Here's a sneak peek at one of our current reads!

We are loving Katherine McIntyre's Dungeons and Dating series, which revolves around a board game cafe in San Francisco - and, of course, plenty of romance! We've already reviewed her first book and are excited to have Constitution Check available now for our members.

Description:

One night was all Kelly promised. One night was all Tabby offered. And yet one night wasn’t nearly enough…

Kelly Hernandez is on the mend. After the loss of her girlfriend to a car accident, everyone expects her to be destroyed. The worst part is—she isn’t, and the guilt plagues her more each day. All she’s looking for is a little distraction, something to take her away from herself, even if it’s only for a spell.

Tabby Reynolds is on the prowl, searching for her flavor of the night. Everyone sees the roller derby stud, not the geeky accountant who secretly wants a relationship. However, when she spots Kelly by her lonesome at the bar, some flirtation turns into one hot as hell encounter in the back alley.

Except Kelly and Tabby run in the same circles, and all too fast, they see each other again and then again, until they both cave to their desires. Casual and easy—that’s what they agree on. However, when Tabby tears her ACL, taking her out of roller derby, the relationship between them starts to deepen beyond what either of them planned. However, the past trauma Kelly’s running from and Tabby’s growing insecurities might cold snap any chance of something real before it can bloom.

Want to hear what our members thought about this book? Look for the Sapphic Book Club banner in the Goodreads review section. Happy reading!

July 2023 Reading Wrap Up

I've been pondering starting a bookish instagram, but in the likely event I never do, here are the monthly wrap up images I made for July 2023. (If it doesn't have a rating it just means it was too short or too . . . personal? to easily rate. I didn't track DNFs on these graphics, but I DNF'ed seven books.

*sigh*

Of course, I wrote a bunch of stuff about the books here, but then tumblr ate my words. So, on the off chance you have a question about anything I read, let me know.

I might keep posting here, if no one minds and I find it easy enough to keep up with. I'm hoping to make the graphics a little less rough and ready in future.

Also, I will list the books for accessibility purposes.
