The Canadian government’s latest Pipeline MOU with Alberta is the final nail in the coffin for Canada’s climate policy. It’s time to rise up and stop Big Oil from winning everything on their wishlist. That's why we're calling for a People's MOU instead: share.nwmd.social/s/ErFe41WZ

Might give it a look then. When my current pile’s shrunk a bit more, at least. I’m trying not to buy or borrow anymore books until it’s down to a handful of titles at most.

That’s good to hear! I’m more of a fully fantasy type girl than romantasy. I need that good good worldbuilding. That said I’ve never read ACOTAR, so I don’t know how much I would enjoy it on its own merits. Its reputation unfortunately preceded it and spice level isn’t enough of a hook for me.

Book 2 of Miss Peregrine’s Peculiar Children completed! Quite a good sequel and a marvellous expansion of the Peculiar world from the first. Quite the cliffhanger ending, though so I’ll have to track down the third once I have my tbr pile down to a more reasonable height.

Yeah, I saw that one thanks to tumblr some years ago! My own fault for mixing up titles since I was trying to start with the Witches series. I actually got my brother into The Watch by getting him Guards, Guards at the same time, so I’ll probably borrow that from him when my TBR is a little smaller.

Overall I did enjoy the book, although not quite enough to read it again I don’t think. I won’t be reading more of Rincewind’s tales either in all likelihood, but I do hope to pick up The Witches series in future. Equal Rites is on my wish list. For now, we continue to chip away at my TBR pile. 💙📚

Ok, so I haven’t finished “Colour of Magic” yet, but I forgot it at my friend’s house last weekend so we’re starting one I’ve been looking forward to reading for a number of years now. 📚💙 I read the first book some years ago and I’m excited to see how the story progresses!
“Hollow City”, the second novel of “Miss Peregrine’s Peculiar Children” by Ransom Riggs. 

The cover features a girl of perhaps 12 standing against the backdrop of crumbling buildings. She has a large, clear hole in her torso that allows a view of the rubble behind her. This doesn’t seem to distress her in any way.

Turns out meringues are hard to make. Might’ve helped if I’d looked at just one recipe for the time-temp combination. At least the non-burnt ones are edible.
Two baking trays holding hand-dolloped meringues. The meringues on the left tray are burnt on the bottom, and the meringues on both trays are a toasty brown colour.

Two screenshots. First is Bocchi with her fists clenched looking serious while she radiates a slight yellow aura. The text reads "The thought of AI's Death fills me with a mysterious and overwhelming power!"

The second is immediately after, Bocchi's aura spikes like a dragon ball character, lightning comes off her, and her hair goes straight up as she gains power.

Hello, I'm a woodcarver, and this what I do ✌️ You can help me a lot by sharing my work, so people can buy or commission me sculptures. Praying for octopus blessings on your life 🐙🙏
4 pictures of différents woodcarvings

Top left : Woodcarved humanoid octopus wearing a robe, arms wide open, in front of a book standing on branches. On the book, a frog. On the right arm, a kinfisher, and on the top of the head of the octopus, a round duck. The base is burn, on that angle it is not really obvious but is water with a slight wave form arround the octopus. On the background, an old door with old white paint.

Top right : Woodcarved creature (Siren Head) with very long skeletal arms and legs, also too many ribs. Its head is a pole with two speakers and wires. Those speakers have teeth. On the highest speaker, a nest with a pigeon. Siren Head is extending its left arm, point a finger forward. A pigeon sits on its index. Caption says "Based on Siren Head by Trevor Henderson"

Bottom left : Woodcarved humanoid goose wearing plate armour. She's holding a shield and a flanged mace. On the handle of the mace, a red robin landed. The eyes of the goose are made of glass. The feet and the beak are painted in burnt yellow, as the breast of the red robin. The upper part of the robin is painted in brown/grey  and its eyes and beak in black.

Bottom right : Woodcarved humanoid crow wearing a hooded cloak, shoulder armor. It has its right hand on a sword. A squirrel is climbing its left arm. On the base, a cat is resting.
