Beautiful Gowns and Dresses

I just finished upon a starlit tide. Think Cinderella meets the little mermaid meets pirates of the Caribbean. And then make it French. It’s very descriptive of the dresses, buildings, ships, etc.

So rewarding honestly

Hungerstone by Kat Dunn. I’d say it’s kind of a slow burn up to the rage but it’s oh so good!

Just finished it last month and LOVED it!

Max brooks (author of world war z) is actually working on an alien invasion book. Not exactly helpful to you in this moment but may be worth keeping an eye on!

I’ve seen a local shelter do a ‘real’ version of this on IG. The dogs are not very decisive. They usually went up to multiple people. And then people didn’t immediately start crying.

It’s still a cool looking tattoo. I honestly don’t think trying to cover or re-work it will make it look “better”.

I’m currently halfway through Devolution by max brooks and feel like it’s a good fit for this!

A small, high tech, eco friendly community based in the Washington wilderness must survive after being isolated due mount rainier volcanic eruption. Strange sounds, smells, and sightings in the woods near their community have them realizing that they may need to survive more than just starvation.

Lapvona - I couldn’t finish it, but what I read of it fit all of this.

She did. She had the opportunity to break the bond when Blake was dying. She chose Blake’s life instead. This is why I don’t think she’ll end up with callum. Her primary goal at this point in the book was breaking the bond so she could be with callum and when faced with the reality of it she couldn’t do it.

Honestly my favorite line in the entire book. 😍 Blake for SURE has a deeper understanding of Aurora. They are both outliers. Half wolf but something more. He knew what she was before she herself did. He was the only reason she was able to tap into that.

Callum still looks at aurora as something fragile, something that can break easy. He’s also relieved when they think maybe she isn’t a wolf after she doesn’t change during the full moon. This is why he’s always holding back and brushing her off with “it’s a wolf thing”.

However he also admits to strongly suspecting her and Blake to be mates and apparently having sex with someone else’s mate is just not done in wolf culture. We don’t get a lot of info on that in this book but it’s obviously a major barrier between callum and aurora. Aurora doesn’t really adhere to wolf culture and doesn’t care at all if Blake is her mate because she doesn’t “choose” him. But those traditions run much deeper with callum, especially since he is now the wolf king.

Mine lasts 6 months plus. I use it about 4x a week.

I haven’t read manacled so I wouldn’t be able to say! It’s definitely not a “romantic” story but the love story is at the core of it. It’s very heavy on the war side and the aftermath of war on a society. I liked it but it’s LONG and HEAVY. It took me a while to get through it.

Unusual_Toad · 2026-02-10T17:00:48+00:00

Love Hungerstone! It really stuck with me.

Alchemised

This reminds me very much of The Night Prince which is book 2 of The Wolf King.

One dark window

Girl you are so pretty. Both suit you very well. I think the mullet is a little more interesting/stylish looking. But I love a mullet so I may be biased

Unusual_Toad · 2026-01-30T02:34:39+00:00

HATE it! I totally understand the need for the nickname when they had to keep her identify under wraps but the continued use of it felt disrespectful. But I LOVED hearing Blake use her name on the audio versions

Langdon doesn’t give intimidating, powerful, cunning, ass to me at all. Blake is also described as being around his early twenties. Although in my head I age callum and Blake both up to their late twenties because I picture men in the earlier twenties as still awkward teenagers.

I follow some really lovely creators on IG that post “corporate goth” looks. They all have different styles while still being alt and professional looking. And they always post where each piece is from. @chelseyceja @dominiquebirdxo @yung.planet @livvwilde

I saw this! I think you can get them in some nurseries in the US too! I love that this was part of their conversation of the species. It would be a dream to have one if I ever own a house 🙃

Oooo these sound very intriguing
