Thank you to the many readers who have bought Shadowbeast and Shadowbride in the last week! I promise I am hard at work on the third book, so let me know your book wishes! #books #booksky

Always good to know 24 hours before you have to take a flight that there is no longer food on your flight. I have only ever traveled 3 times in my life. Why do things keep getting worse each time?

I recently finished Shadowbride by @michellefranklin.bsky.social. The continued adventures of Maedlynn and Darren continue to get better. The awesome supporting (some would say most important characters) cast returns in Searle, Agatha, and Mr. Hatley. And a new adorable addition joins the crew.

She was gazing out the window, glorying in the morning, and thought there were no longer leaves on the trees, the estate and issuing grounds held a charm for her. The clouds loafed along the horizon too languid for anything, as though the departure of the autumn took the wind from their sails.

For the first time in perhaps ten years, I ordered (physical!) fiction books today, and look forward to reading them soon. They're @michellefranklin.bsky.social's Shadowbeast and Shadowbride.

THIS WEEK ON ARCHAESCOOP

All correct. I've been published since I was 25. I have 35 books with 3 trad publishers and the rest self-published. My self-published books actually do better because I continuously market them myself. I have three jobs on top of producing videos and podcasts. Please buy and share books!

This makes me think of when I was invigilating exams in college. One girl tried to cheat by making an entire fake exam booklet filled with answers. Another wrote the answers inside her water bottle. Another indented them on blank paper. If only they put that much effort into just LEARNING IT ...

I had an argument with another historian (in front of the Bishop) about whether the year 1400 was the last year of the 14th or the first year of the 15th century. Stay safe out there, people

According to my doctor, who is very concerned about my chest, said "Your breasts are very active right now." I said it's not my fault if they had to get jobs and go out after work. She said she meant hormonally.

Rice balls. Onigiri, arancini, zongzi, jumeokbap, pinda, fantuan, suppli-- whatever they are filled with, I'm eating them.

Greatest chips of all time. Not even discussing it.

Wondering why I love games, big dudes, and baddie women so much. What I watched when I was 5: Happy Pride!

This is a cat checkpoint. My neighbour's baby blue.

“Ah think Masteh Searle’ll ‘ave the apoplexeh.” “No, Millie,” said Searle. “I have already had the one fit over Lord Darren's comments. One does not have a second. It is ill-bred.” “He loved the suit," said Maedlynn. “He only thought it was difficult to run in.” “Gentlemen don’t run. They hasten.”

there have indeed been way more Georges in history than Wendells, hence the absence of any Wendellstans or whatnot

Gentlemen don't run. They hasten.

People who are confused about two completely different things sharing the same name should really spend some time travelling Canada, where we reuse names so much, you would think that words were a finite resource.

Maedlynn looked out the window. “The snow hasn’t come yet.” “No.” “Do you think we ought to marry then?” Darren glanced at her with a smile. “I’ll consider it.” “I can already hear Agatha sharpening her knives.” #books #booksky
