The 1993 Dragon Ball Z: Broly – The Legendary Super Saiyan. Keep the animation style the same but with live action muppets of everyone else except Vageta.

#PlatformDecay by #MarthaWells is the 8th book in the #MurderbotDiaries. A series that has become a staple re-read for me this year that I find myself drawn back to it like a favorite Tv show. I’ve been Instantly nostalgic for every book in the series so far and Platform Decay didn’t disappoint! 💙📚

#TheLesserDevil by #ChristopherRuocchio Having read Empire of Silence last year and loving it, but not committing to reading to the whole series. This book was a great primer to reorient myself to #TheSunEater again. Through the eyes of Crispin Marlowe now trapped in his own plot against his life 💙📚

Some may see what's happened in Minneapolis and have a wake up call. That's great. A lot of work to be done going forward. But, if you see what's happening; that's been happening, and you still support ICE and you work in Education, Healthcare, or Public Service. You're a fucking embarrassment. ⚒🧊

#MorningGloryMilkingFarm by #CMNascosta is what you expect it to be. This book has all the hallmarks of any erotic fiction. However, neatly woven in were interesting subversions & thoughtful criticisms of Corporatism & the exploitation & weaponization of gender & sexuality of the marginalized. 💙📚

#TressoftheEmeraldSea by #BrandonSanderson has a lighter more comedic tone despite the action sequences definitely landing more Adult. If you've bounced off of Sanderson books before like I have, this one stuck for me. I think it's a good mostly singular story with a fun worldbuilding idea. 📚💙

#TheServiceberry by #RobinWallKimmerer is a short novel that expounds upon how nature spreads abundance in ecology. The author proposes how we could learn from nature & apply it to our economy, our community, our neighborhood & our own framing of the world around us. It's refreshing & inspiring. 📚💙

#TheLiesofLockeLamora by #ScottLynch is the first book of an enthralling fantasy set in a charming world. The titular Gentleman Bastards are an engaging & cultivated cast of characters & Locke's extemporaneous games ever-spun webs have inadvertently pulled the threads of greater spider's games 💙📚

#MeSseD by writer #JayBKalagayan and primary artist #DylanSpeeg is a comic book series about the day to day life of a city employee; Lilliput, for the orwellian sounding Metropolitan Sewer District. Where the normalcy of the city sits precariously atop of a slew of pulpy sewer horror monsters! 📚💙

#LegendsandLattes by #TravisBaldree is a wonderful and cozy slice of life story held inside a fun fantastical world. I strongly recommend this book for anyone who wants a fun comedic jaunt with a great cast of characters and a heartwarming ending! 📚💙

#BlackAFHistory by #MichaelHarriot is a deep dive history book that will forever change your perspective, if you genuinely engage with the severe and intensive care taken to look at the systems of power and oppression of black and african americans who did not get to write history in their favor. 📚💙

It is unfortunate for me that I am incapable of the level of ignorance that is required to simply ignore what is happening to our educational & scientific infrastructure of this country. Because thats what it is. Ignorance; not naivete, this is the age of information. You know, you just don't care.

#VerityVoxandtheCurseofFoxfire is a YA fantasy that captures the nostalgic feeling of wanderlust woven with whimsical horror of the unimaginabe nature of ancient places like Appalachia. Verity uses my favorite version of magic & I love the real to life perspective of intimate magic in folklore. 📚💙

#TheFloatingWorld by #AxieOh I happened to find serendipitously & It is a solid YA fantasy read! The setting is one we've all imagined before. However, the author's blending in of korean mythology and folklore into the worldbuilding & characters that brings the story new life in a satisfying way! 📚💙

#OverSeaUnderStone by #SusanCooper is a 1965 childrens mystery that would be categorized as middle grade today. The book has some charm within the children's sense of wonder but has dated stereotypical dialogue and structure. ⚠️Fair warning a hard left from a villian in black face towards the end 📚💙

#I'mStartingtoWorryAboutThisBlackBoxofDoom by #JasonPargin is my 1st contemporary story in forever. This is a fascinating look into fictional characters with real modern ideologies. This book isn't a thriller because of the events but the perverse nature of online identity & social echo chambers. 📚💙

#ADropofCorruption by #RobertJacksonBennett is a great sequel! Ana & Din find themselves in another thought provoking & enthralling high stakes mystery! If you like detective mysteries with a fantasy twist this series is for you! The worldbuilding is marvelous and often surreal to dive into! 📚💙

#TheGodofTheWoods by #LizMoore is my first real foray into a thriller mystery set outside of horror & Fantasy & I'll admit it took some catching up on my part. But once caught up this book absolutely enraptured me in it's spiraling mystery that unraveled between the present (1975) & their past! 📚💙

#ThisIsHowYouLoseTheTimeWar by #AmalElMohtar & #MaxGladstone is an incredible example of creative use of epistolary storytelling!

Playing catch from a road trip! #TheTaintedCup by #RobertJacksonBennett is a novel fantastical take on a detective mystery! This is a great read! It follows very similarly to how I imagine a Sherlock Holmes book would. However it's a magical world setting and Watson's first day on the job. 📚💙
