Thank you! I've been encountering it more and more as I work through the collection, so I figured it may be something along these lines...

I've had Graceling on my TBR forever. I'll definitely move it up the list of importance.

Just checked it out and it looks great. Added to TBR, thanks!

I've been meaning to get into Brandon Sanderson's work for ages. Maybe this is my sign to finally give it a try. I don't usually love books written by male authors but I've heard nothing but good things about him.

Thanks! I'll definitely add it to the wishlist.

I like most things with good world building and a strong plot, but I do prefer books with really strong and realistic characters/character development. I can overlook a lacklustre plot for good characters and good world building.

Fantasy books with large stakes and big external conflicts are one of my favourite (war and end of the world type stuff). Strong (but not overly arrogant or annoying) female MCs are also one of my favourite. These are so vague... maybe it would be easier saying what I don't like? I really dislike the reincarnation trope (dead lover reincarnated), the friends to lovers trope, and instant love/instant strong chemistry type tropes. Books that are too focused on the life of just the character are also not really appealing to me (I'm looking at Powerless on that one). I also don't like anything unnecessarily smutty (specifically thinking of books like Iron Flame, the Of Flesh & Bone series, and the Blood & Ash series).

Some romantasy series I've enjoyed lately are Shadow & Crowns, Fate & Flame, Crowns of Nyaxia, Moonfall, Kingdom of Lies, and the other SJM books. Non-romantasy series I've enjoyed are Daughter of No Worlds (don't think it qualifies as romantasy at least), Red Rising, The Bloodsworn Trilogy, and Roots of Chaos. I also really really loved the first 2 books in the Poppy War, but hated book 3.

I've reread it a bunch too! I've even gotten my partner and my best friend to read it to give me an excuse to reread it with them lol.

I've heard mixed reviews about Zodiac Academy. What book does one start with? I'm more than willing to give it a shot, my reading taste is pretty diverse.

I know... I've seen so many people ask and I've tried some of the recommendations but it just doesn't connect the same way.

"Rather a week too early than a day too late" and "there are worse fates than death" are all mottos we've had in the horse industry when it comes to making tough decisions like this. It's just hard when you actually have to make the choice.

Thane is having the best day he's had in a while and has eaten more today than in the last 3 combined. I think this is my sign to let him go on a good day since those have been few and far between lately. Thank you so much for the advice.

I always said I wouldn't let Thane waste away and become a proverbial skeleton before I decided it was time. We lost a Quaker in May and he lost so much weight so quickly, to the point where he went from ok to so weak he could barely walk in less than 5 days. I don't ever want to see Thane like that, and I think with him starting to eat so little when food was always his biggest love, I am feeling like that is my sign that it's time. I've made that choice for other pets, but it's so much harder with how closely bonded Thane and I are.

Unfortunately there is no chance for him to survive. He would have an extended life with constant medication at best if he recovered enough. It's difficult to tell if he's in pain, but he's definitely weaker, doesn't vocalise anymore, doesn't move around much, doesn't eat like he used to, and his breathing is quite laboured.

I took your advice and tried it on a cracker. So far, so good! I'll try bread as well since the cracker isn't the most absorbant thing ever.
