This is your random reminder that your local library likely has a free app (or multiple!) where you can download all kinds of goodies for free. Books, audiobooks, movies, music, television shows, magazines, the list goes on. All free and you don't even have to leave the house to get them. I have borrowed and read like 200 books the last couple years from mine and didn't pay a dime. It's awesome. Go get your library app now!

I think a core internet experiences is- YES, people are allowed to not like or enjoy the thing *I* like, but they have to dislike it CORRECTLY.

If I watch a youtuber not read any dialogue and then complain about the story not making any sense I'm seething. If I see a youtuber read all the dialogue and then still be like 'this story is shit' I'm like 'lmao yeah fair.'

It's all about knowing that the person actually gave it a fair chance and aren't just going into it already disinterested

Pleeeaaase, I need everyone here to get hold of Lyndsay Faye's Observations by Gaslight so I can scream about it - especially about "The Adventure of the Stopped Clocks".

It is perfect. It is narrated by Irene Norton née Adler, and additional to the fact that the author portrays Irene AND her relationship with Holmes in such a delightful way (Spoiler TM: They are not star-crossed lovers), it will completely rip out your heart. It is so good. (And the other stories are also superb!) Trust me. Please. I'm desperate. XD

do you have any lando writers/fic recs then?

Hi anon! Yes, absolutely, I can give some Lando recs.

I always try to keep my 'fic recs' tag updated as I read and finish and comment on things so you can always check there for more! However, most of the lando things I read are landoscar fics. I do also have some mutuals or people I follow who write 'x reader' for lando that I can send your way as well.

Since I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for, I'll organize both options below:

Lando Writer Recs (mostly x reader)

@theonottsbxtch | @f1lovr | @driverlando | @revolutionsingingintherainnn | @vettelsvee | @katsu28 | @snoopyracing | —All of the above either currently write for Lando x reader or have a selection of Lando fics on their masterlist. I'm sure there are more amazing Lando x reader fic writers I'm leaving out but these were the first few that came to mind for me, personally!

Landoscar Fic Recs (ao3 links)

and your quaint honour turn to dust by foggystars —I'm currently reading this one as my first girl!driver fic and I'm pleasantly surprised at how much I've been enjoying it! It's so much more than just 'making someone into a girl', it's clear the writer really took their time in developing these characters, giving them flaws and backstories and imperfections and everything in between. And the writing really feels so close to home, easy to read, but so professional. I've felt so many feelings with this last chapter and I'm anxiously awaiting more.

The Arrangement by lxuisfineline —Another one I'm currently reading because, you know me, I absolutely love AUs and the concept for this one felt so unique it just caught my interest right away. The writing is detailed and captivating and Lando is such a strong character in his own right and following the journey of his development has been so entertaining! This one also has had a few moments that had me genuinely reacting out loud

Loud and Clear by oscatmeowstri —This was one of the first landoscar fics I read so it holds a special place in my heart! The balance between media 'posts'/radios and narrative writing kept the pacing upbeat and interesting and yet didn't take away from it feeling like a real 'novel'. A good AU for those who are unsure about AUs because it's still in the F1 universe and Lando is still a driver!

Software Instability by KingKestrel —This one was awesome omg. Again, the uniqueness of the summary caught my attention (and the fact that it was an AU) and the writing itself kept me around (and wanting more!). It really had you rooting for them in a world where 'them' felt impossible.

and tbh anything by glasscushion or higgsbosonblues

why use kindle unlimited and audible and pay a monthly fee when libby and hoopla are from your library and provides many ebooks and audiobooks all for the low, low price of free <3

Sanji opens his own resturant and Nami, when she draws her maps she always makes a little notation on the corner of how far away the resturant is. Or for closer islands, directions on how to get there.

A fun thing you don't know until you have reason to be actually getting quotes is that furniture for public/high-use/corporate (or public-ish) spaces is heckin expensive

presumably because these things need to stand up to tons of use by people over and over and over, but like

I've spent the day researching and requesting quotes for rolling whiteboards and the prices I've seen from companies I'd probably trust are so far a minimum of $800 for a single whiteboard roughly the height of an average 8-year-old.

Politely asking bookblr (booklr?) If they know any websites besides Amazon that sell indie books and or primarily LGBT books of every genre. I live in a place where the closest indie bookshop is six hours away from me and the only Barnes and Noble has a selection that consists of conservative propoganda and poorly written smutty books. I am. Desperate.
