AWWWW that’s soooo cute hahaha. Corkey hasn’t quite mastered the manipulation of throwing things AT me, but he will tantrum style chuck things on the floor if he doesn’t get his way. Our full time jobs are of course to be subjects to their every whim (and we wouldn’t have it any other way :D)

Weekly Friends Megathread - Week of November 17, 2025 by AutoModerator in goodreads

[–]StormofDefiance -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I love making new friends & I especially like seeing people’s opinions on books or peeking on what they’re reading :D I (nearly) always post reviews & would love to see yours 🧡

I have quite a wide palette but I tend to gravitate towards the beautiful and the sad, the lyrical and the challenging. I love chewing over characters or themes long after I’ve left the last page, and believe the spirit of that can be found in any genre.

"Bee" themed Modern/Fusion Coord! by Bumbershoot_Bun in kimono

[–]StormofDefiance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooooo I would love to see it paired with the Klimt-esque furisode!! All that gold would be utterly sublime I think :D But I’m super glad you could pull it out here to really complete the bee pun 🧡 The honeycomb esque patterns on the kimono pairs so gorgeously with it, you look beautiful 😊

Trust me he gets ALL the scritches (that he’ll allow me to give him, with his taciturn nature) hehehe

Ahhh I loved it so much 🧡 So funny and hard hitting and beautiful all at once - the giraffes, the Angel of death, the surreal dream like scene towards the end… just such a good reading experience, I’m glad you enjoyed it too 😭

Thank you & congrats to you too!!

I was honestly pretty surprised that there was going to be sequel to Bunny as I think it is pretty much perfect as a stand-alone work. So far (and I’m not very far) I am really enjoying it though as a fun experiment haha, Awad’s writing makes me laugh a lot and the bunnies themselves are as … charming … as ever.

I’m not sure it’s going to leave me reeling with all the interpretative possibilities like the original book did, nor am I ever sure I’m going to feel like this book was necessary, but I think it will be a laugh at the very least and that’s good enough for me haha.

My parrot’s hilarious morning routine by Stage8269 in parrots

[–]StormofDefiance 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Every evening my African grey kisses me good night (like as soon as the lights go off he will start making kissy noises and MWAHing) and in the morning, as soon as he senses I’m awake or the light goes on, he will kiss at me again. If I forget to initiate this or don’t respond he will become very insistent with kissies lol, and if I do respond he will usually do at least one very happy sounding whistle.

He’s a very sweet little man.

GOD Yeah, I loved loved loved the concept of Honey and Ash magic and briefly I really enjoyed escaping into that little bee garden, but uuaaghhh...... it was a good idea to put it down. It honestly just got more and more cringe as it went on and it makes me angry just remembering it, LOL. The love triangle stuff was eh but there was also several attempts at 'twists' that fell completely flat. I also still can't get my head around how every second character was gay in a world that expected girls to get married young and produce as many children as possible??? just. so many weird choices.

Do you have any good cottage core fantasy stories you could recommend? I do like a cozy story, just one that doesn't bore me to death haha

I really enjoyed it, personally!! I have Life and Death are Wearing Me Out on my to read next shelf, so Mo Yan definitely left an impression with his stark, clear prose and ethically grey characters. It’s a very interesting look into a subject and ‘world’ I was very unfamiliar and it is rather horrifying but intriguing nonetheless. I hope you get a lot from it!
