“Mark . . . why do the air holes have screens in them?”

The first time I read A Civil Campaign, this exact conversation was the MOMENT I realized what an absolutely wild book this was going to be. Yes I’m rereading it again for the 50th time.

[thirdwifeofriversong]

the fact that mark vorkosigan, reformed jackson’s whole clone, excellent student of accounting, genuinely thought that paying off someone’s bond was the same thing as buying a PERSON… it’s such a tiny thing mentioned but it’s simultaneously so tragic and really funny… he really thought he’d solved all of enrique’s legal problems when he bailed him out of jail didn’t he

[kadharononart]

did I ever dump my vorkosigan doodles over here? I can't remember.

I also have a sketch of Tej somewhere but I'm not thrilled with it any more, so that can stay in my Procreate files.

VORKOSIGAN SAGA- I found the most Enrique-core video.

I love this enthusiastic bug man. Very reminiscent of Enrique Borgos. But also I enjoyed this video just because I think bugs are fascinating and I love watching people be HUGE NERDS about things they love and are excited about.

Video is perfect at x2 speed

Word of the day: Pullulating

“Even before the design modifications, it had been unjust of Miles to dub the earlier, original version ‘the vomit bugs’, or, during the unfortunate time they’d escaped inside Vorkosigan House, ‘those damned pullulating cockroaches’.”

Bujold has some phenomenal word choice her prose is so evocative and fun to read 🤭 “those damned pullulating cockroaches!” from just a few words such a vivid picture is painted of the nastiness of the bug bodies (I imagine giant bloated termites) as well as Miles’s dramatic disgust and outrage.

[randomishnickname]

Just reread A Civil Campaign and my gooood i had forgotten how funny and thrilling and complex that book is. There's so much stuff happening! It's pure chaos everywhere! And yet it's all intervowen and makes perfect sense! Wonderful.

Quick overview of all the plot threads in A Civil Campaign, please help me out if i forgot some:

Miles' "secret" (*cough*) and catastrophic courting of Ekaterin

Ekaterin starting a new life in Vorbarr Sultana and fending off suitors left and right

Kareen Koudelka fighting to get her parents to accept her new galactic mores

Mark launching the Butterbug Business and all the delightful messes that ensue

René "Ghembretten" fighting for his claim to the Vorbretten Countship

Dono Vorrutyer fighting for the claim to his own Countship and all the shenanigans and intrigues that ensue

Escobaran police trying to get their hand on the wicked Doctor Enrique Borgos (Enrique ily <3)

Miles and Ekaterin fighting against awful rumors to preserve their reputation and protect Nikki

Gregor and Laisa's imperial marriage and its stressful preparations

And final special mention to Count Vormuir and his 118 daughters

That's like, 10 different plot threads at once, and wielded with such skill! Never a dull minute. I'm in such awe of LMMB 😵🤯

Hispanic Heritage Month: Literary Fiction Picks

It Would Be Night in Caracas by Karina Sainz Borgo, Elizabeth Bryer (Translation)

In Caracas, Venezuela, Adelaida Falcon stands over an open grave. Alone, except for harried undertakers, she buries her mother–the only family Adelaida has ever known. Numb with grief, Adelaida returns to the apartment they shared. Outside the window that she tapes shut every night—to prevent the tear gas raining down on protesters in the streets from seeping in. When looters masquerading as revolutionaries take over her apartment, Adelaida resists and is beaten up. It is the beginning of a fight for survival in a country that has disintegrated into violence and anarchy, where citizens are increasingly pitted against each other. But as fate would have it, Adelaida is given a gruesome choice that could secure her escape. Filled with riveting twists and turns, and told in a powerful, urgent voice, It Would Be Night in Caracas is a chilling reminder of how quickly the world we know can crumble.

The Lost Book of Adana Moreau by Michael Zapata

In 1929 in New Orleans, a Dominican immigrant named Adana Moreau writes a science fiction novel. The novel earns rave reviews, and Adana begins a sequel. Then she falls gravely ill. Just before she dies, she destroys the only copy of the manuscript. Decades later in Chicago, Saul Drower is cleaning out his dead grandfather’s home when he discovers a mysterious manuscript written by none other than Adana Moreau. With the help of his friend Javier, Saul tracks down an address for Adana’s son in New Orleans, but as Hurricane Katrina strikes, they must head to the storm-ravaged city for answers. What results is a brilliantly layered masterpiece—an ode to home, storytelling and the possibility of parallel worlds.

Into the Beautiful North by Luis Alberto Urrea, Enrique Hubbard Urrea (Translator)

Nineteen-year-old Nayeli works at a taco shop in her Mexican village and dreams about her father, who journeyed to the United States to find work. Recently, it has dawned on her that he isn't the only man who has left town. In fact, there are almost no men in the village--they've all gone north. While watching The Magnificent Seven, Nayeli decides to go north herself and recruit seven men--her own "Siete Magníficos"--to repopulate her hometown and protect it from the bandidos who plan on taking it over. Filled with unforgettable characters and prose as radiant as the Sinaloan sun, Into the Beautiful North is the story of an irresistible young woman's quest to find herself on both sides of the fence.

Conquistadora by Esmeralda Santiago

As a young girl growing up in Spain, Ana Larragoity Cubillas is powerfully drawn to Puerto Rico by the diaries of an ancestor who traveled there with Ponce de León. And in handsome twin brothers Ramón and Inocente—both in love with Ana—she finds a way to get there. She marries Ramón, and in 1844, just eighteen, she travels across the ocean to a remote sugar plantation the brothers have inherited on the island. Ana faces unrelenting heat, disease and isolation, and the dangers of the untamed countryside even as she relishes the challenge of running Hacienda los Gemelos. But when the Civil War breaks out in the United States, Ana finds her livelihood, and perhaps even her life, threatened by the very people on whose backs her wealth has been built: the hacienda’s slaves, whose richly drawn stories unfold alongside her own. And when at last Ana falls for a man who may be her destiny—a once-forbidden love—she will sacrifice nearly everything to keep hold of the land that has become her true home. This is a sensual, riveting tale, set in a place where human passions and cruelties collide: thrilling history that has never before been brought so vividly and unforgettably to life.

vorkosigannnnnn

who i will protect at all costs: GREGOR

who deserves better: Princess Kareen T.T

who was killed off too early: Princess Kareen, again, because of course. -.-

who i used to hate but now i love: I don’t really have anyone specific here, but I used to avoid the Brothers in Arms & Mirror Dance books more than I do now?

who i used to love but now i hate: Honestly, no one!

who needs to be killed off asap: The clone life-extension business.

who is unfairly hated: Like, he’s not hated, but Enrique Borgos is just... a much more delightful character that he ever gets credit for?

who is unfairly loved: I mean I don’t think anyone is, really.

who needs to sort out their priorities: Piotr Vorkosigan. I mean, he does eventually appear to sort them out, but still. Really, dude, get it together.

who needs a hug: Mark. Although he probably would not appreciate a hug from anyone except his mom and Kareen K. And maybe, on a rare occasion, from Miles.

who needs to get out of their current relationship: 

who the writers love: I mean, pretty obviously, she loves Miles. You can’t write ten books about one guy and not love him.

who needs a better storyline: Honestly I’m pretty happy with most storylines... I’d’ve liked to get a better sense of more women on Barrayar, but really I’m pretty satisfied!

who has an amazing redemption arc: Mark. It’s not something I tend to think of as a redemption arc because it’s so bizarre for a redemption to pretty much end with him being a terrifying business mogul... But hey, he does redeem himself!

who is hot af: Canonically, Ivan!

who belongs in jail: Probably Miles, really.

who needs to be revived from the dead: Kareen Vorbarra, she is pretty much the greatest sufferer.

VORKOSIGAN DINNER PARTY SCENE (wip)

“My dinner party,' Miles grated. 'It's just breaking up.' And sinking. All souls feared lost.”

Work in progress. The dinner party scene in “A Civil Campaign” from Lois McMaster Bujold’s Vorkosigan Saga. Characters from left to right are: Ekaterine Vorsoisson, Captian Koudelka, Olivia Koudelka, Dono Vorrutyer, Alys Vorpatril, Miles Vorkosigan, and Enrique Borgos (under the table)

This is a drawing of my friend’s favorite scene in the vorkosigan saga! I personally found this book to be the most stressful to read in the entire series the first time I read it, but that was mostly just cuz I take a lot of damage from secondhand social anxiety for fictional characters. On a second read of the book I was a lot less stressed able to wholeheartedly enjoy this scifi comedy-of-manners for the delightfuly intricate social and politicial clusterfuck it is 🥰.

Second image is early planning for the piece trying to figure out where the hell everybody was supposed to be seated. Goddamn was that a logic puzzle!

I Was Once A Full-Time Mother

Although being a Full-Time Mother is not for everyone, I became a full-time mother to both of my daughters Catherine (Kitty) and Lauren (Lolly) whilst my ex-husband became the main provider/breadwinner for our family. I had always worked full-time and giving up my full-time job to care for our children was a difficult choice for […]
