#julia posts

This blog hasn't been very active lately and I'm sorry for that. I've had a lot on my plate but now I'm finally able to spend some time here. More posts will be queued today and I'll do my best to keep up with the inbox.

I write NSFW things, which means no minors

My inbox is always open

I might take requests. Basically, you're welcome to send prompts, requests etc. but I can't guarantee I'll write everything because, regrettably, I am human

Look at my dog

I just thought I should update you on some things. I am currently the only active admin on this blog and while I try to keep up with questions, confessions etc. I also have other responsibilities. I'm hoping that you understand that for the above reasons some things might take longer. This does not mean that you shouldn't reach out to me for help.

Take care.

1. The Themis Files by Sylvain Neuvel

A sci-fi series with elements of political thriller and apocalyptic fiction. Rose is riding her new bike near her home in South Dakota, when suddenly she falls through the earth. Around her are intricate carvings, and when the firemen come to save her they find her resting in the palm of a giant metallic hand. 17 years later, Rose is a highly-trained physicist working to solve this mystery from her childhood.

2. Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi

Orïsha used to hum with magic. Zélie Adebola remembers when magicians lit flames, beckoned waves and her own mother summoned souls. But the ruthless king had them killed and the people of Orïsha were left without hope, and Zélie without a mother. Now Zélie, with the help of a rogue princess, has the chance to strike back.

3. A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin

The survey for anyone interested in being an admin at this blog is currently open. Last day to send in your application is this Sunday, October 11th.

Due to family reasons, I have to take a step back from the blog. I hope that things will be resolved soon but there are currently too many unknown factors to say anything with certainty.

My personal blog (salt-is-a-terrible-currency) is still available to anyone who might want to send a message, because I know that the holidays can be extra difficult. The inbox here is of course still open too but it might take longer to go through and queue them.

Take care ❤️

 Hi, guys! 

Since the inbox is almost completely empty I thought I might write some posts of my own. I’ve been an avid reader for as long as I can remember, with fantasy being one of my favourite genres. With the ongoing pandemic that might also mean you spend more time at home. With that in mind, I want to share some book recommendations.

1. We Hunt the Flame by Hafsah Faizal 

The first book in a series, an epic fantasy set in a world inspired by ancient Arabia. Zafira is the Hunter, disguising herself as a man to hunt for food in the cursed forest Arz. Nasir is The Prince of Death: an assassin in the service of his father, the sultan. War is brewing, and the Arz grows. Zafira and Nasir are both sent to find a lost artifact that will restore magic to the world and end the suffering.  

2. Flame in the Mist by Renee Ahdieh 

The first book in a series, a historical fantasy based loosely on feudal Japan. Mariko, daughter to a prominent samurai, survives an assassination attempt while traveling to meet her betrothed. Disguised as a boy, she decides to infiltrate the clan responsible for the attack.  

3. The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samanta Shannon

The world is on the brink of war with dragons. Queen Sabran needs an heir, but assassins are coming for her. Ead, one of the ladies-in-waiting at court and member of a hidden society, is secretly using forbidden magic to protect the queen. And across the sea, Tane has been training to be a dragonrider but now her life might unravel.
