I’ve been doing my Tortall reread these past few months! I’m planning on doing an immediate reread as soon as it’s done because I cannot be normal about Tortall.

So far I’ve reread

- the Song of the Lioness quartet

- The immortals quartet

- Tempests and Slaughter !!!! (I’m so not normal about this one!!!)

- First Test, Page, and Squire! (I’m on my Lady Knight reread now!!)

- Terrier (one of my favorites!!!)

- Tortall: A Spy’s Guide <3

My plan is to finish Protector of the Small, then read the Trickster’s books whilst reading the Beka Cooper books simultaneously. (I’m rereading POTS and the trickster’s books with another Tortall friend but they never got into the Beka Cooper books so I’m reading them by myself atm) Then I’ll read Tortall and other lands!

I started this in March and I think I’ll be done by October!! And then I’m gonna start from Alanna: The First Adventure again.

“While Alanna mixed swordplay with spells—both where no one could watch her—Jonathan met the people of his city. That winter he and Alanna went down to the Dancing Dove whenever they could. Here Jon was "Johnny," the rich merchant's son George had taken a liking to. At the Dancing Dove men didn't fall respectfully silent when Jonathan spoke. They were more likely to tell him, "Ye're but a lad. Wha' d'ye know? Hush and listen t' yer elders!"

Jonathan hushed and listened. He made friends with the most dangerous thieves and murderers in theEastern Lands. He learned to pick pockets and throw dice with ease. He flirted with flower girls and watched as thieves divided their night's haul. He was seeing life very differently from the way it was seen from the palace, and he was eager to learn all he could. No one ever guessed that the heir to the throne was sitting there, sipping a tankard of ale and occasionally tossing a set of dice.” - Song of the Lioness by Tamara Pierce

““Magelet, one thing I have learned is that humans cling to their first knowledge of you, particularly if they have no experience of you once you’ve changed.””

— Numair Salmalín, Tamora Pierce, “Wolf-Speaker”

[copperhawks]

Quick aside as I have been informed Tamora Pierce has apparently confirmed in a q&a that both Numair and George are NOT STRAIGHT and are, in fact, omnisexual.

Every day we get closer to the day we find out that basically everyone in Tortall is queer somehow.

Except Jon. Jon is probably straight.

Tamora Pierce really saw us all loving Numair and went I'm going to write them a full backstory that will wreck them so hard..........
