I read LegendBorn and Bloodmarked by Tracy Deonn finally, and i loved it more than I thought I would. I will say LegendBorn took me until I was about half way through the book to really get into it and start to love it, but Bloodmarked was just amazing the whole time

Low-key went feral reading this book in a day.
it's about a plain, uninteresting, kind and demure, sensible, but often overlooked woman who has lived a shell of a life life trying to pacify her controlling family for 29 years, only for them to casually mock her for being an undesirable "old-maid." She's lived in their shadow quietly, unhappily, obediently, all her life, dreaming of a blue palace where she might be free and happy and made to feel like the beautiful princess she longs to be. Until one fateful, rainy day when everything changes and something inside her snaps. Her family deems her mad when she starts speaking her mind, stops doing as she is told, and takes her life into her own hands. But she will not be stopped. She hasn't lost her head, no not entirely, but she's stopped being quite so afraid of life.

AbsoluteGarbage’s 2023 Reading List:
3. The Last Hero by Linden A. Lewis
Sci-Fi Space Opera. 616 pages.
9/10 - I’m ashamed to say I started this book when it was released in November last year. It took me about four months to finish. (Granted, I’ve been hella busy, but still.) This was the final book in The First Sister trilogy. It was pretty dense. Literally. It’s so heavy even with the thinnest pages 😂. I’m seriously in awe of any author who can create these intricate stories. It blows my mind. Humanity is on the brink of annihilation, Earth/Mars, and Venus/Mercury factions are even more divided. Religious sisterhoods consumed by corruption from the inside, synthetic robots, and a multitude of people all at war with each other. This book flipped between so many different POVs it made my head spin. I normally don’t like first person perspective, but it worked really well in this trilogy. One POV would leave you on a cliffhanger and then you’d have to get through like three more chapters of other POVs to get back to the original one. It was crazy how it all tied together at the end. This book wasn’t a 10/10 for me, but it came close. I really loved this trilogy and highly recommend it!

I’m almost done with Deepak Chopra’s Jesus: A Story of Enlightenment, along with Joshua by Joseph Girzone, which I did not expect to finish close to the same time as the other Jesus book on this month’s reading list. Looking at these side by side has been .... certainly interesting. Combine that with reading The Book of Longings by Sue Monk Kidd and A Rendezvous with God by Bill Myers last year, I’ve been getting quite the dose of “unconventional Jesus stories.” And these are pretty tame compared to other things I know exist and DO NOT have the guts to read. Still a lot to process, might’ve overtaxed myself 😅

Some Books a Year, Episode Wharrggle
Mutant Crawl Classics, by Jim Wampler. The Dungeon Crawl Classics system gets adapted to wahoo post-apoc fantasy (think Thundarr the Barbarian, Kamandi the Last Boy on Earth, Planet of the Apes, &c.). Would probably have the same page count as the original Gamma World if there weren't a d30 table for each & every mutation & "wetware program", fumbles, six categories of crit, artifact usage, & on & on & on. Chock full of in-joke callbacks to everything from The Jetsons to The Matrix to a 70s-era margarine commercial. One of the MCC Cryptic Alliance analogues' secret hand sign is literally to throw the horns, which pretty neatly encapsulates the "who cares if it makes sense, it's frickin' metal" ethos of the game.
