I've been bopping in & out in between reading other things, but I did just finish book 3 and have downloaded book 4, for those keeping track of my DCC journey! I have a lot of chores/organizing/cleaning to do over the next week so I may make it through this book faster than the last one. We'll see!

It's the sort of book that I definitely think could be fun to discuss if social media wasn't currently a shitshow of media illiteracy and defensive fandom and I don't feel like wrestling with either side right now. But I really am interested in the wide range of non-gamers I see reading these!

They feel so aggressively niche gamer to me, if you are a non-gamer reading them I would love to hear if you find any of that tedious or overwhelming. I'm having a hard time imagining what the experience would be if you're not a big gamer, but they have CLEARLY broken containment in a huge way.

I'm also reading a SECRET ARC I can not talk to you about but omg omg omg omg. And also a NOT SECRET ARC that I want to tell everyone about, which is @alyssacolelit.bsky.social's next thriller IT TAKES A VILLAGE, and if I didn't love her so much I'd hate her for being this fuckin' good, y'all.

One of those things that can frustrate newer writers is when everyone tells them "we're looking for VOICE" and no one can tell you what VOICE is. Some people have the ability to so completely vanish into a book you forget you're reading, you're just experiencing it. Alyssa does it every damn time.

I'm like a month late in seeing this but: 😭🥰😘! Thank you!
