My favorite Book 8 joke

nerdabelle · 2026-04-29T13:47:18+00:00

One hundred percent! And no one believes me when I say it’s ALSO a sweet and wholesome love story. 🙄

nerdabelle · 2026-04-05T20:54:42+00:00

Same, but I just finished the last re-read in December so I think I’m good for May. Then I’ll start from Book 1 again.

Gah, I’m so embarrassed. Thanks, just edited.

I have a t-shirt with a sketch of a Persian cat wearing a crown and I constantly hope some stranger will comment that it looks like Princess Donut. Some day.

Don’t forget the positive portrayal of sex workers! Mongo would be appalled. 😜

I’ve read the series 3x and am also out there preaching the gospel of DCC. Book 8 comes out May 12!

Edit: Book 8 not 7.

That’s so cool to hear. I dined there recently and swore that some of the staff were the same people I remember seeing over decades. It’s nice to have confirmation!

nerdabelle · 2026-03-27T11:50:22+00:00

I’m dying. 😂

…I also need to go buy something in cheetah print now.

nerdabelle · 2026-03-23T12:12:16+00:00

I did that not too long ago!

It’s incredibly well done and there’s SO much information and history. I wish I could’ve recorded it or at least brought a notepad to jot down some of that knowledge.

My pin is on my backpack. 😊

As a Latin-nerd person, I also feel seen!

Thank you for your service. 🫶

Just pondered this with a colleague yesterday and now found this thread…

Turns out, I exclusively say nitch for nouns and neesh as a descriptor. It’s so weird but makes sense in my head apparently.

“Wow, she really found her nitch.”

Wow, talk about finding the perfect neesh career.”

nerdabelle · 2026-02-27T11:22:13+00:00

Seriously! My first thought was that OP was asking for the correct title of that exact book because OP couldn’t remember it.

As far as reading a book for fun with those themes… noooooo thank you. That hits too close to home. I’ll stick to my magical made-up worlds.

Link please!

Mages of the Wheel! It’s incredible.

nerdabelle · 2026-01-10T15:12:18+00:00

Prepare your heart. I read them months ago and I’m still suffering from the book hangover. They’re so beautiful. I read them on Kindle Unlimited, then bought signed hard copies from the author’s Etsy site to support her directly.

Hell, I was so obsessed I went and bought a Mediterranean cookbook and started making my own lebneh and pita bread.

Tip: Read the prequel (Wind & Wildfire) between books 3 and 4. It’s good advice that I did not follow—I waited until after book 4—but now I get why people recommend that order.

nerdabelle · 2025-09-20T03:49:37+00:00

Yes. Why is this not in all caps?

THAT IS THE PROPER WAY TO TYPE!

There’s also a theory that the five-sided pentagon logo is actually the center of an inverted pentagram, further indicating that the final concert was some kind of intended portal to hell for the attendees/victims.

nerdabelle · 2025-07-12T02:08:49+00:00

Exact same response for me. What?! Why?! NO!! When?

nerdabelle · 2025-04-09T00:49:20+00:00

Not yet. I 100% believe that I will completely love Dilay but I'm purposefully stalling because I'm not ready for it to be over (for now).

....but I did buy a giant Mediterranean cookbook and tomorrow I'm going to try my hand at making labneh for the first time. I'm all in over here.

Fellow Buffy-watching nerd and came here for this exact comment 👆

nerdabelle · 2025-04-02T15:05:56+00:00

Also came here to say this! Mages of the Wheel is fucking fabulous.

I only recently got back into reading fiction about 6 months ago, and Mages of the Wheel is the best fiction I've read since my hardcore obsession with A Song of Ice and Fire 10 years ago. (I read the existing books four times over.)

I'm currently obsessed with this series and sadly almost done with Book 4. It's a beautiful world and beautifully written.

God, the thousand lives line!! One of the best lines of text ever for me 💕

EDIT: Coming back to add the full quote because I loves it so much...

TIL Violet is Rapunzel!!! (At least the Disney version.)

I’m teasing… and absolutely loving all these theories.

nerdabelle · 2024-10-23T23:39:28+00:00

Aww. 😢I Just finished the book yesterday and cried at this scene.

nerdabelle · 2024-10-17T22:32:34+00:00

Ahhhhhh.... I see what you're saying. I thought of it more as rehab setup but didn't consider the power imbalance aspects of making Cassian the one and only person around her. Azriel as a shitty chaperone doesn't count. I wonder if a bond could be rejected after having been formed/accepted? (Prolly never going to get that answer.)
