The problem with The Locked Tomb series is that I do like the books more as the series goes on. That makes it hard for me to tell someone definitively that yes, I think they should read Gideon the Ninth. Like, it is a good book, but it’s not what made me obsessed with the series.

I completely disagree with this. If I approach reading as an intellectual discipline then I avoid it most of the time and don’t do it! but if I remember that it’s fun and I enjoy it, I’m much more likely to actually read

I’ll admit that reading is not set up to give the same kind of reward that infinite scroll on a phone is, but I also don’t think movies or TV are either? Like I’m not sure I believe in a “dopamine rush” that’s triggered by watching a television series but not by reading a book

Man, I love basketball. I love a game that’s about consistency and endurance where you have to be flexible enough to move frequently from offense to defense and back again. I love a game where there’s no expectation of fights or tackles and where they actually score goals. Basketball is the perfect game. ❤️

”She missed Septa Mordane, and even more Jeyne Poole, her truest friend.- - - Sansa did not know what had happened to Jeyne, who had disappeared from her rooms afterward, never to be mentioned again. She tried not to think of them too often, yet sometimes the memories came unbidden, and then it was hard to hold back the tears.”

honestly my favorite thing about hardison is that he has no real tragic backstory, he's just like "i am very smart and therefore i should be allowed to do crime" and he's entirely correct

Nate is easily my favorite of the Leverage crew, and I can’t really explain that except by saying that if there’s a character with a God complex, they’re gonna get me every time.

In Spellcaster University, you train students to prepare them for different futures, and then those futures give you special perks. These are some of my favorite possible futures, not for the utility but just because I think they're fun!

DAI is awesome because all of the companions have TERRIBLE political opinions but they’re terrible in very in-character ways and they debate them together and you’re like wow! You’re all terrible! You’re also all my dearly beloved besties!
