Finished Daggerbound last night and I think it might be my favorite @tkingfisher.com book of all time. So much heart and fun and Large Francis was a delight. Edmund really had the best character growth 🥹Read it!

Shouldn't it be Batman Night? Anyway, happy Batman Day.

A city street at the pinkest part of dusk. A dude in the fanciest coat you've ever seen is hanging out with his boyfriend in leather pants. The sweet coat dude turns to see Batman strolling down the street, cape flapping fabulously in the breeze. The coat dude flirts, "Hiya, Batman. Nice night for a stroll." Batman ain't DTF, though, so he simply walks past, while greeting them with a, "Gentlemen."

Worlds Finest by @markwaid.bsky.social, Dan Mora, and others. This series is my most anticipated read every month. The art is gorgeous, the dialog is witty, and every story takes you on a ride. It's also introduced me to a lot of DC characters I hadn't been familiar with before.

Nightwing: Leaping into the Light by @tomtaylormade.bsky.social and @brunoredondo.bsky.social This got me back into comics after being away for about 10 years. I've loved Dick Grayson/Nightwing since I was a kid and this run was so fun and joyful. A great starting point for beginners to comics.

Stories of Raksura Vol. 1 by @marthawells.com I have such love for the Raksura series and Moon, Stone, and Jade as characters. This volume collects a pair of novellas and short stories in the universe and was a delight. This is a series I'm desperate for everyone to read please check it out!

The Fourth Consort by @edashtonwriting.bsky.social The climax of this book had me punching the air in delight. I love stories about humans and aliens and their many cultural differences (and the miscommunication it causes) If you like Farscape you'll love this book guaranteed.

This is the movie that introduced me to Bruce Campbell and for that alone I'll always treasure it. And it was via Bruce Campbell that I discovered the Adventures of Briscoe County, Jr. which is really an insane, trippy, campy gem of a tv series

"The classic decision is always the same, whether to retreat or go on. There comes a time when it is easier to continue upward, when the summit, in fact, is the only way out. At such a moment one must still have strength." —James Salter, SOLO FACES (and a metaphor for novel writing?)

Cover of Queen Demon. Kai is dressed in a teal gold-trimmed coat over a long dark purple shirt, wearing a dark veil scattered with gold coins in his long dark hair. He's in motion, running or leaping toward the lower left corner of the cover.
