Used my boardgame.

I got reader's block for a while because I was so tired it was effecting everything, I did manage to finish one more book so I completed 4/6 before I decided to move on. I will definitely get back to Raksura #2 soon and Greenteeth is waiting for another time.

Avatar: Final Girl (re-roll dice 1 time)

Roll #1

A 6, prompt: romance element. I want to try and find something with the romance level of Nettle & Bone and The Bone Houses. Okay, I used this list and decided to risk The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches. At worst I'll give it a 3.5 which is not bad and I could use more easy listens rn.

Roll #2

A 5, prompt: Horror element this time, fitting for my avatar. I don't read much horror so this should be interesting. Okay that wasn't as hard as I thought, I'll read A Sorceress Comes to Call!

Roll #3

A 2 but I'm using my skill. Rerolled a 5. Prompt: verb in the title, ooh interesting. I can't remember where I heard this from, either a booktuber or someone here, but it seemed more like my kind of het romance: Queens of Villainy #1: Wooing the Witch Queen.

Roll #4

A 7, prompt: European ambience. I think...I'll read the next part in The Witcher, Sword of Destiny, which is another collection of short stories.

Roll #5

A 4, prompt: fantasy element as if all the books I've chosen so far weren't;; Let's try the M/M SOS Hotel: For a Supernaturally Safe Stay!

Roll #6

An 8, so close. Prompt: New book published in the last year. That was a bit of pain since I had to choose one with an audiobook but I picked Shroud, it'll be my second Tchaikovsky book.

Roll #7

A 3...right before the end. Blargh. And the prompt, mythology really stressed me out, it's not my favorite thing and I don't have many books tagged for it. I thought maybe I'd read some Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard but I only have one book left and I don't remember what happened last, but I don't want to reread because I remember enough it feels too soon. So I'm going to cheat and re-draw a prompt card and maybe take out this prompt from the game. New prompt: Featuring a group of friends. I picked Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda, I'm a little nervous about it since I don't know much but it has 5 stars from someone I trust. I forgot this has a movie adaptation as well.

Roll #8

A 5 and the end. Reward: Took a while but I picked The Others #2 Murder of Crows.

I am also reading a non-fiction book here and there, Salt Sugar Fat.

Most looking forward to: I can't pick, multiple sound good!
Least looking forward to: Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda

I don't know why I thought Marinette's stalker tendencies would improve at least a little after getting with Adrien. They're worse now, she doesn't even trust him with his running partner.

Her name is Sublime?! And her father is the gentle encouragement type while her mom is the 'you're an apex predator so act like it!' type.

One of these days Adrien needs to catch Marinette catastrophizing.

Ladybug broke Sublime's prosthetic legs looking for an invisible enemy WTF. 😰😰😭

It is quite interesting to see how Lila manipulates her victims versus Gabrielle.

I don't know if I buy that CN and LB are the best version of themselves...maybe I'm not understanding it though, maybe it just means they try to be better. 🤷

Who was watching from the audience seats? 🤔

Oh noo Sublime's sponsor is Kagami's mom. :/ I hope Kagami and Sublime can be friends at least?
Whoa, lots of new designs shown at once!

Sabrina is having a hard time without Chloe. I like her slightly more mature look.

Rose's design is TERRIBLE, I don't really like Juleka's either. Zoe is...okay, I don't like Kagami's short hair. Mylène is so different it'll take getting used to.

What was with that moment between Sabrina and Zoe, 'you're a great girl too' (aww) but then Zoe looks down??

Marinette strikes again, instead of postponing the date night or the movie night she tries to smash them together and totally misses that Zoe wanted to invite Sabrina.

Sabrina fought off the akuma but her dad got akumatized again. 😭

Have we really come to a point where all the akumatizations are happening because of Marinette herself......

Ah, it was Lila in disguise in the stands in the last ep.

WHOA, Sabrina changed her looks completely, it'll take some getting used to! I never thought we'd see Sabrina become part of the group like this. :')

Okay so Zoe was in a gang or something in NYC? The girls aren't gonna care unless she murdered someone maybe lol
