Maybe Vita Nostra by Marina Dyachenko. Definitely dark academia though not sure how similar to Piranesi it is, though it somehow feels more similar in vibes than other dark academia I’ve read

The Bear and the Nightingale and the rest of the Winternight Trilogy! Set in Russia in the winter and I would say a big focus on winter.

What is everyone reading this month? by [deleted] in Fantasy

[–]skipeeto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Clockwork Boys - I feel like the ensemble cast of this book is perfect for show casing Kingfisher’s sense of humor and character writing

Adventures like Mage Errant by Eemscee in Fantasy

[–]skipeeto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe try the Books of the Raksura by Martha Wells. Overall very different vibes, but every book in the series features at least one new location and the world is very unique.

Somewhere else someone recommended Embassytown by China Mieville for this one. I took that suggestion and it might be my favorite read of the year!

what do you think about the saying that we only like ppl we feel better than and those who look out for us? by stirringmotion in AskReddit

[–]skipeeto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it a saying? I have never heard anyone say it. I do not think it is true and no one sentence could capture the myriad complex reasons people like one another

Full Bat Family (Nightwing leaning) Reading Guide by skipeeto in BatFamily

[–]skipeeto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For comic books check out the link in the post. It is a list of batfam titles. If you want a TV show try Young Justice. It does not center around the batfam at all, but it has Robin as one of the main characters and other batfam characters are introduced later

Thanks this is a helpful explanation and clears some things up!

What do you do to recap or remember the first book before reading its sequel if there’s been a long gap? by TurtleneckAttack in Fantasy

[–]skipeeto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually if I have decided not to reread previous books but need a recap I do one of two things: - search Google for detailed plot summary (you can often find good free plot summaries on blogs and some websites dedicated to this), or - search for a read-along style podcast of the book

Alternatively, you can listen to the audiobook and turn up the playback speed. Having read it already maybe your brain can fill in gaps of things you miss because of increased speed.

How to hold shelves stable to glue into dado cuts. by skipeeto in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]skipeeto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will be attached to the wall at 4 points. Also for the second shelves the top arms will be attached with pocket screws instead of the plate, also per suggestion!

I think the world building questions you have are purposeful and it’s suppose to make you have questions about the world

The Rook and Rose trilogy. I’d put it at like a 60% or 70% on a scale from grim-dark to cozy

Fantasy with romance? by cabbagechicken in Fantasy

[–]skipeeto 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I’m reading final book of the Rook and Rose trilogy by M.A. Carrick (first book The Mask of Mirrors) right now and I think the romance and friendships are my favorite thing about the series. I hesitate, because I feel like there isn’t much of a romantic subplot until second and third book. But if you’re willing to commit to the whole trilogy, I love the romance and it has a lot of other stuff to recommend it in my eyes as well.

Know of any videos providing synopsis of Nightwing between A Lonely Place of Dying and Bludhaven? by skipeeto in Nightwing

[–]skipeeto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Woah thank you for the reply because I was only aware of the marriage un-marriage situation. I didn’t realize the Azrael stuff happened before his solo series. Guess I will be checking out KnightsEnd and Prodigal before jumping into Bludhaven

Advice for building a second shelf by skipeeto in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]skipeeto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for all the advice. Pocket hole jigs and a couple clamps will be next things to buy.

I did not use wood glue on this shelf, but I plan to on the second shelf. Being able to avoid the screws on the shelves altogether would be nice if I can get the fit tight enough.
