Brandin Sanderson’s Skyward is giving me such hard Fourth Wing vibes. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not Fourth Wing (in that I don’t hate the main character with every fiber of my being) and it’s not stupid (people die because of bad guys, not because they don’t innately know how to ride a dragon).

Reading it got me ranting for a solid ten minutes to my youngest, which he appreciated because I was ranting about a book instead of sending him to bed.

Alcatraz and the Evil Librarians is off to a Lemony Snicket-type good time!

Heh. The dinosaur ate the Crichton section of the library only.

Head cannon: Alcatraz is Hoid’s origin story. (Everything is Cosmere. I’m 100% convinced the Rithmast is Cosmere. It has magic intricately tied to religion. You can’t convince me otherwise!)

Steelheart: I believe we got a snipet, or a glimpse, of this in the sci-fi short story collection. I don’t watch The Boys because it is too grim. This prologue is gutting. Will I white knuckle through? Or give up before the end?

Our main character is not great with the similies.

Better Off Ted is one of my favorite comedies and I’m so sad it’s not better known.

Clone Wars: Aksoka was everything I hoped the Padme character would be (including very cool and not boring). Rex and all the clones. A few of the plot lines went off the deep end, but those four episodes absolutely give me chills.

I don’t think Avatar: The Last Airbender needs an explanation? Sokka’s my favorite, because he makes color-coded spreadsheets, but Zuko’s arc alone earns it a special place in my heart.

The Odd Squad is a PBS Kids show that was fun for parents to watch too. Great characters and excellent deadpan acting by a bunch of kids.

Yumi and the Nightmare Painter: I was going to joke about how Yumi is clearly Rapunzel from Tangled, in how she‘s thinking about going to a festival she’s never been to before, but then it turns out she is forbidden from cutting her hair, and it’s not a joke any more.

Hoid, you’re pretending we are a Rosharan audience. We have no idea what this means.

I was going to say this was Groundhog Day, but apparently it’s actually Terminator.

There are more of them on Threnody, but otherwis are the shades any more terrifying than these nightmares? The stories might not all be true, but this fully formed one is legit scary.

“An absolute charm bracelet of a person” is a compliment I need to incorporate into my everyday life.

I quite enjoy Yumi performing expert-level, ceremonial, artistic stacking. But angrily.

It took me a minute to get into this, because I was reading something else too, but Hoid is a spray-painted coatrack in this because he’s been frozen in time but is still aware and Design is putting him to use, and Hoid is just such an amazing character.

I love how Painter is an angsty teenager who tries to imagine his life is more grim and tragic than it is.
