Rec #49

Do you like time travel? Ever wanted to be your own Boss, go back to the past and impress people with your knowledge? Then boy have I got a story for you. It's got queers, war, trauma, trickery, and a renunciation of the divine right of kings. It's got science, sorcery, quests, and fantastical tales. Have you ever wanted to bring a modern gun to the early middle ages and see what happened? Do you like wit, snark, and satire? Do you like isekai anime?

Rec #50

Do you want a story about overcoming hardship no matter what life throws at you with rich worldbuilding and a protagonist from a marginalized group? All while journeying through the unknown? It may seem scary, but don't worry, the protagonist isn't alone! There's major queer-coded characters with them!

Finally, a play with an actual love triangle! This quick read packed to the brim with meaningful quotes features a chaotic cast consisting of a pathetic wet mess of a man, a mysterious lady trying to leave her past behind and a lesbian homewrecker, whose tragic love had me sobbing for a week.

Rec #64

It's a coming-of-age story about friendship, found family, and learning that you can be who you want to be. There's many canonically queer characters, including lesbian and bisexual main characters, a few trans coded characters, and even a non-binary character. There's also many disabled characters, including a canonically blind main character and autistic coded characters! It's got enemies to lovers (and enemies and lovers ;)), forced proximity (>//<), rivals to lovers, love triangles!!! and secret romance. not to mention the strong female characters! more than half of the main characters are female! but get this… it all happens… IN SPACE!! You've got to read it!!

A guess for #49: A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, perhaps?

Guess noted!

#49 army of darkness? (the evil dead sequel)

Guess noted!

[guessthatrec-poll]

With the new polls out, I took the time to write down my guesses this time.

49: A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (which I have not actually read but what little I know does seem plausible for this rec)

41: The Bible, specifically the New Testament

38: The Silmarillion

26: Magic Tree House

10: I'm tentatively guessing Dracula solely because of that bit about random Texan cowboys. This could easily be very wrong but I think it'll be funny if I'm right

12: Volton: Legendary Defender

Guesses noted!
