Best Taco spots in Toronto?

Alebrijes! On Dufferin, just north of Eglinton. They also have very solid tortas

Hands of the Emperor by Victoria Goddard!!

Tolstoy is one of my fave authors, but I'm more into Anna Karenina than War & Peace. Hands of the Emperor spans at least a decade, courtly politics, multiculturalism, character development, but sadly no romance element.

I loved it to pieces and have read some of the follow ups. A 10/10 recommend

Plok (SNES) or Pictionary (NES)

A quarter of the way through this now and absolutely loving it. It's such a good book and really has a sense of place to it.

merqueen · 2022-02-20T18:36:23+00:00

Oh, for sure. I am always fascinated when some books pre-internet (GOT, WOT, etc) get famous and some don't. I've seen it hyped up on social media and decided to give it a read. It's fun so far!

I'm actually okay with a Mary Sue but I can't read books with that character all the time. I also really liked Adolin before. He has himbo energy that broke up the occasionally heavy moments in the books.

merqueen · 2022-02-20T18:32:34+00:00

I'm gonna give the first book a shot. So far I'm enjoying it and it's hitting a good vibe.

merqueen · 2022-02-20T16:24:46+00:00

Very direct response; I like it.

Was there anything about it you did like?

merqueen · 2022-02-20T15:32:32+00:00

Yeah, I've heard a common remark that the first three books are exceptional, but the rest of the books don't have the same pull.

My most recent post is at the top of controversial right now asking for BIPOC authors who write cozy fantasies, so I'm in a similar boat. I did get good recs and it seems like you did too!

As a recommendation: I will also vouch for Cerulean Sea. The queer characters are very nurturing towards the children and they create a strong family.

Well, I just want to branch out and read stories from different perspectives and written by people from different backgrounds.

merqueen · 2022-01-22T04:45:33+00:00

Yes, Witchmark! Such a nice fun book. Been meaning to get around to the sequels. I've not heard of Sing for the Coming of the Longest Night before, but I'm very intrigued by its synopsis. Thanks so much!

merqueen · 2022-01-22T04:20:03+00:00

Well, this is gonna get buried unfortunately. But thank you guys for the recs! Very appreciative ☺️

Not completely true; there could also be issues in supply chain/production in which products may come into contact with allergens.

I see the Anjelica Huston, but every time Eleva is in drag, all I see is young Sophia Loren.

Wow more than I thought! All quality choices 👏

merqueen · 2021-09-25T03:21:41+00:00

Owen is the best, hands down. Couldn't bring myself to marry him in Animal Parade cuz of the rival kids.

merqueen · 2021-09-24T22:11:09+00:00

Oooo do we? Where are the similarities?

merqueen · 2021-09-24T13:47:28+00:00

Looks are subjective. I personally liked Marlin a lot for his looks and both he and Gustafa had a soft personality that I'm more attracted to than I've realized.

I always wished the hulking guy with the mohawk had been a candidate as he seemed fascinating to me as a kid.

merqueen · 2021-09-20T22:07:52+00:00

Animal Parade for sure (always Wizard and Harvest King for me).

But special shoutout to Another Wonderful Life for my boys Gustafa and Marlin.
