Soooo, On A Vacation Trip A Week Ago, I Stumbled Over @xiranjayzhao's Iron Widow In A Book Shop In Copenhagen

“we shall take everything they do to us and make it something else”

some Liveship Traders characters (these are supposed to be at the start of Ship of Magic)

THE ADVOCATE

Cover art I did for 'The Advocate' written by Daniel M. Ford, and published by Tor Books. This is the third book in the swords and sorcery series following Aelis De Lenti. Aelis returns home to Lascenise to clear the name of her mentor, accused of murder, and unravel a conspiracy of wizards and assassins. With no one she can trust Aelis enlists the help of old friend Miralla and old enemy Amadin. I didn't get to this one either but this time around I got very detailed descriptions to work off of. They are all at a dinner party where a fight breaks out, hence the formal wear. Aelis' motif is skulls and daggers, and Miralla's stars and eyes. Miralla is a diviner which is why her eyes are glowing white as she guides the other two. Amadin's main stand out comments were 'arrogant enough to fight with a glass of wine in his hand' and 'very punchable face' lol Other than that everyone's looks are pretty straight forward, verbatim as described. Thanks once again to AD Esther Kim!

hello fellow non-Black tumblr users. welcome to my saw trap. if you'd like to leave, please name one (1) Black woman author who is not Maya Angelou, Toni Morrison, bell hooks, Octavia Butler, or N.K. Jemisin. bonus points if she's published a book in the last five years.

replying to coworker emails rn like do i sound weird. do i sound foolish. can they tell im in danger of surrendering to the house

my best tip for anyone trying to get back into reading is to remember that you can read books to avoid other responsibilities in ur life and it can become a vice if you play your cards right

May my followers forgive me for making them see these pictures for the fourth time.

im rereading the fifth season w gf and recalling my love for these characters. rly wanted to lean into alabaster and essun’s age… i love themb. 

Robin hobb will go a 100 pages without mentioning patience just to drop one of these and kill me on the spot

why learn to draw, if not to obsess over your meow meow
