"Brita’s Holiday Village" has a line about making playlists to put off having to write. I'm tagged in this picture and I don't like it.

That’s an extremely good point!

I feel a little distanced from what I read after all the events of the last few days. I'll just pop down some thought for now, and I might dig up more if we end up bopping back and forth about it. Rebecka - Hurt people hurt people, I guess. Damn. I guess we know Tidbeck's stance on...

Will post some more in-depth thoughts about the next three stories soon, but for now... Check out this Instagram artist. This made me think of "Brown" immediately.

Oooooh trigger warning for #4, Rebecka— suicidal ideation. Anyone who’s sensitive to those topics might want to skip that one.

Absolutely agree. I also know little about the Swedish version, but from what I know about the US system... YUP. It resonates with me. I'm intrigued by the idea that humans = bureaucracy and fae = wild because in the garbage teen romance stories I've been reading lately, the fae are definitely...

I linked the Jagannath table of contents in the first post if anyone needs to look at it! I'll just spew some thoughts on the first few: Beatrice -- I think I might've actually read this one before, but I still enjoyed it the second time around. It reminds me so strongly of what so many fics...

I hear you — nothing beats a real, physical book. I think my plan was just to post up thoughts! I don’t think I have any specific guiding questions. I’ve listened through the 3rd story, so I’ll post something about it today. Should’ve yesterday but my day filled up rather quickly. I know Pen...

Yeah I’m not sure about length either because I’m listening to the audiobook. No luck finding it through your library’s digital collections, huh? I like the new profile pic, BTW, @Negrek.

I’ve started on Jagannath! First story was short — got through it in one sitting while I was eating. 👌🏻 If this goes well, and we do a round two I want to nominate this collection of short stories, also available through my library’s digital collections on Hoopla: Sooner or Later, Everything...

So then we cool moving forward with Jagannath and posting thoughts by March 8th? If we do 2 per week we’ll end in mid-April. 3 per week we’d end March 29th. (It looks like there’s 13 stories.)

I feel like we can realistically commit to a story / collection by end of February and finish it by end of March. Do folks want to check in to discuss once per week (discussing 1-2 stories, probably) or every other week (once at midway point and once at the end)?

I’m definitely most interested in Jagannath right now because it’s been on my list for a long time, but would also not be upset about doing online short stories either. Does anyone NOT have easy access to Jagannath? If so, that’s an easy deciding factor.

@Negrek My plan was definitely Inter-library loan and/or digital collections. Does your library give you access to the Hoopla and Libby apps with your library card? (The audiobook version of Jagannath is on Hoopla for sure as an audio book. Didn’t check the others yet.) But @zion of arcadia ’s...

I’m between books right now, so I’m pretty open! I’ll toss in a few ideas from my goodreads, but I’m not married to any of these: - Unseen City (nonfiction, human-animal coexistence) - When the Emperor was Divine (fiction, Japanese interment camps) - Jagannath (magical realism short stories) -...

Would folks be interested in reading an original fiction text together? (Pausing every chapter or so to discuss.) From what I've seen on Discord, a lot of us have similar taste in books -- seems like it should be obvious because we all write Pokemon, except that there are still so many wildly...
