I’m #reading The Final Strife (Ending Fire, #1) by Saara El-Arifi, and it’s taking every bit of self-discipline not to let it eat my whole day. The main character is messy, self-destructive, and difficult to like, but you feel her pain, and that’s what pulls you in. The world doesn’t reveal its brilliance right away, and while the premise itself isn’t especially original, it creeps up on you, winding tighter the more you read. When Arifi sat down with Samantha Shannon, I suspected I was in for something worth my time—and she hasn’t disappointed. Summary pasted below:
Red is the blood of the elite, of magic, of control. Blue is the blood of the poor, of workers, of the resistance. Clear is the blood of the slaves, of the crushed, of the invisible. Sylah dreams of days growing up in the resistance, being told she would spark a revolution that would free the empire from the red-blooded ruling classes’ tyranny. That spark was extinguished the day she watched her family murdered before her eyes. Anoor has been told she’s nothing, no one, a disappointment, by the only person who matters: her mother, the most powerful ruler in the empire. But when Sylah and Anoor meet, a fire burns between them that could consume the kingdom—and their hearts. Hassa moves through the world unseen by upper classes, so she knows what it means to be invisible. But invisibility has its uses: It can hide the most dangerous of secrets, secrets that can reignite a revolution. And when she joins forces with Sylah and Anoor, together these grains of sand will become a storm. As the empire begins a set of trials of combat and skill designed to find its new leaders, the stage is set for blood to flow, power to shift, and cities to burn. Book One of The Ending Fire Trilogy

Very excited to start reading August Kitko and the Mechas from Space (The Starmetal Symphony, #1) by Alex White. I expect to enjoy myself! Publisher summary pasted below:
When an army of giant robot AIs threatens to devastate Earth, a virtuoso pianist becomes humanity's last hope in this bold, lightning-paced, technicolor new space opera series from the author of A Big Ship at the Edge of the Universe. Jazz pianist Gus Kitko expected to spend his final moments on Earth playing piano at the greatest goodbye party of all time, and maybe kissing rockstar Ardent Violet, before the last of humanity is wiped out forever by the Vanguards--ultra-powerful robots from the dark heart of space, hell-bent on destroying humanity for reasons none can divine. But when the Vanguards arrive, the unthinkable happens--the mecha that should be killing Gus instead saves him. Suddenly, Gus's swan song becomes humanity's encore, as he is chosen to join a small group of traitorous Vanguards and their pilots dedicated to saving humanity.

This afternoon, I’m starting The Final Orchard by CJ Rivera — this month’s #scifi & #fantasy #bookclub pick. I didn’t really enjoy last month’s #book, so I’m hoping this one’s good. There are so many #books higher up on my #TBR, but we’ll see! @npub1ny7…uv57

I am blind so I would really like someone to describe the Legends & Lattes book cover to me. Is it a portrayal of the Legends & Lattes sign, sword and all? Thanks in advance for this crucial information! @npub1ny7…uv57

Me: "I need more #book recommendations! What is everyone #reading?"
Also me: "I have too many #books on my #TBR ! I need to stop acquiring books!"
Also me: "I'm reading too many books simultaneously..." @npub1ny7…uv57

How do I get rid of these text columns in Word? They are not part of a table

Got it. I am a huge YA and epic fantasy person, but even I have to be in a certain mood to deal with that many tropes. Thanks for the input

#Romantasy people, there are at least five people I know personally who have read Onyx Storm. Is it worth the hype pushing that #book series further up my #TBR once I’ve finished my current epic fantasy? @npub1ny7…uv57
