π these are the four artists who, in light of the most recent season, appear to have carried iwtv on their backs while the white showrunner got all the credit. very impressed with their work not just writing/directing/editing-wise but because their presence clearly set a certain tone in that writers' room. and i imagine it took quite a bit of effort to maintain it, considering what that writers' room turned into once they were no longer in the picture. i'm really excited to keep an eye on their careers and i hope they move on to do great things with more creative control

I really enjoy the cosmere, but I don't want to be That Guy I've heard of who reads nothing but Brandon Sanderson, so once I finish the Stormlight Archive I'm not reading anything else by him till school starts again. During the semester I'll probably finish off the whole of the cosmere that's currently out, so I'll basically have to read other books between new Sanderson releases then.
Once I finish Wind and Truth I have a couple of recommendations from the book club that I want to read to escape my comfort zone: Where the Crawdads Sing by and The Naturals, so I'll run through those. After that I'll go a bit back into my comfort zone, with fantasy but still no Sanderson. Some of the books I'm thinking of are:
Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
Wizard's Hall by Jane Yolen
The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst (recommended to me by @aerequets ages ago (hope it's ok that I'm pinging her for something so small))
A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K Le Guin
Nettle & Bone by T Kingfisher (aka Ursula Vernon(is she all right? I hadn't seen anything from her in a while... (went and checked; she did get breast cancer but her wikipedia page says "is" and she wrote a new book! Good for her)))(Anyways, I tried this when I was way younger and quickly realized it was not a kids book lol. I could probably enjoy it now though.)
Snake-eater by T. Kingfisher (found out about it in the middle of writing the post lol)
Charming as a Verb by Ben Phillipe (I liked the last one of his that I read. Also coincidentally the only man on this list)
Not sure if anybody will, well, care about this, but here it is. Lmk if you have any other recommendations or comments please!
[Crazy good lines, Part 2] /// [Crazy good lines, Part 3] /// [Crazy good lines, Part 4] /// [Devastating lines] /// [Place of honor] /// [Place of shame (respectfully)]

I have more, cuz my TBR is pretty long, so let me know if you want more.
As always, more in depth horoscopes are under the cut
Aries: This is an uncertain month for you, Aries. Youβre going to run into problems with confidence as well as some issues communicating- but that doesnβt mean you donβt have some things on your side as well. That time youβre probably taking more to yourself can be directed to exploring new ideas and options- something your brain is going to be wanting to do anyway, thanks to Neptune- and working on finishing, and maybe starting, some projects. Try a story about moving on to the next step and committing to your wants & ideas even in the face of obstacles.
Taurus: This is a fairly positive month for you. Youβll be getting a little more done, and feeling good about it as your ambitions and new plans are met. Youβre feeling like spreading the love, to other and to yourself. The biggest roadblocks are simply a dislike of change (or the exact change coming about) and the way or speed in which things are moving. Remember, you are a bit more sensitive this month, and thatβs both and good and bad. A book about endings and change may help your headspace this month.
Gemini: Youβre doing well with relationships this month. Youβre saying what you mean and expressing what you want- definitely good things. While your brain spins ahead, thinking about what you want and letting yourself get maybe a bit caught up in dreams, you shouldnβt get too upset about not having that spur you into action. Itβs going to be tough to force these feelings into productivity at the moment, so just enjoy the exploration. Try a book about the internal work and the planning that comes from that.
Cancer: Youβre at a time of transformation. Youβve had some things to let go of, hang ups or matters of anxiety, that need or needed to be dealt with, leaving you feeling more buoyant. Youβre open to change and growth, and it will surely find you. Pick up a book about finding balance in a role or situation and discovering what needs to change or be released now.
Leo: The Sun in Pisces definitely has your more curious nature coming out and your more sensitive side closer to the surface. This could push you into more conflict than youβd normally find or seek out, but as long as you donβt let it throw you, or go too far, it should be alright. You feel secure in your relationships, and grounded to your Self, so youβre far less shakable than you might be. Read a story about journeying somewhere new and to help those you care about.
Virgo: Expect bigger emotions this month, Virgo. The full moon in your sign means thereβll be something of a spotlight on your regular tendencies, but also a hefty layer of sentimentality and connection added to your feelings at large. This can be good for your already strong relationships, and you should let it guide your thinking as positively as you can. Settle into that headspace, and donβt force yourself to do too much externally with it. This month itβs all about starting something- you need a story about partnering with someone to make something happen.
Libra: Youβre feeling affectionate and inspired this month. Your good vibes are flowing pretty freely, and you want to share them. You can turn this into a project easily, and probably will- your ambition is coming out and guiding you towards new plans and grander scopes. However, completion is a bit of a problem, and you should prepare for a waning of interest or a bout of anxiety when things get too close to the finish line or a bit more complicated and twisty than youβd anticipated. Try a story about taking an opportunity to get more than what you have, embarking on a quest or big task.
Scorpio: February grants you good luck and ease with things like staying active and finding inspiration/motivation, which means this might be a great month for putting plans into action or taking new steps forward where you already are. On the other side, be sure youβre not running yourself too ragged or pushing yourself too far into action. Rest, relax, and take solace in what keeps your comfortable. Pick up a book about choosing a path- the known or the new and risky?
Sagittarius: This month youβre well connected to others and are doing well communicating with them. Youβve got the right words to explain what youβve been planning your path towards and youβre feeling positively towards many of the people youβre communicating with, which doesnβt hurt. However, examine those wants when youβre not schmoozing, because you may find it difficult to actually pay attention and listen when you ask what you want right now. Read a story about learning to be more ruthless or realistic, and to learn from experience.
Capricorn: Youβre finding solace in others this month, Capricorn. Your relationships are positive in February and you find joy in them. The only issue there is, youβre a bit more sensitive, and the things that have a line crossed before them may get tread upon more than usual. Donβt be afraid to erect boundaries, and try to talk it out. Try a story about someone being pulled into something theyβre not ready for, and figuring out how to deal with that.
Aquarius: Youβve got confidence this month, a nice grounding of your Self. Youβre also feeling pretty affectionate and well connected with the things, and people, that you like. All that combines for some nice, positive feelings, as long as you donβt push it away. The new moon in your sign will also bring some understanding and lead your mind in a fruitful direction. Read a book about really seeing the world and its obstacles for the first time, and pushing on.
Pisces: Your curious and artistic nature are on full blast this month. Youβll have some new plans stewing and solid flashes of inspiration. Enjoy the wandering of your brain and see what comes of it. Try a story with positive energy and a lot of movement, making decisions about future plans and loyalties.
