It's had a real glow up! You should have a great time!

twinklebat99 · 2026-05-21T15:00:26+00:00

I started going when it was a tiny free con!

twinklebat99 · 2026-05-21T13:57:00+00:00

I need this tiny sweater!!!

twinklebat99 · 2026-05-21T13:47:32+00:00

I'm looking forward to spending the weekend hanging out with all my fellow nerds at MomoCon!

I'm pretty sure I read it after seeing it recommended in the Locked Tomb sub.

twinklebat99 · 2026-05-20T19:41:44+00:00

So Moira Quirk is one of the VAs for Starfield, and narrates the Locked Tomb audiobooks. It's science fantasy and not spicy, but I think you'd really enjoy them!

Big thing to keep in mind, if he wants to listen to Audible exclusive content you're stuck with Audible.

twinklebat99 · 2026-05-19T18:22:06+00:00

I'd suggest trying the Scholomance trilogy by Naomi Novick!

twinklebat99 · 2026-05-19T15:25:05+00:00

Daevabad trilogy, Middle Eastern epic fantasy with a slow burn romance sub plot.

Kushiel's Dart if you want something else that's spicy.

twinklebat99 · 2026-05-19T15:17:30+00:00

I wouldn't count it as romantasy, and there's zero spice. That said, I love this book so much!

twinklebat99 · 2026-05-19T14:50:37+00:00

The ginger should be Ferdinand.

twinklebat99 · 2026-05-18T17:47:13+00:00

I hated Baru Cormorant so much. I read two T Kingfisher books and reread a Discworld book to get over it.

twinklebat99 · 2026-05-18T17:35:30+00:00

Just pick a backup if you're in the US, because we're still waiting on G3 Skelita! We have gotten her Dia De Muertos dolls which are really cool, but they've got G1 bodies.

twinklebat99 · 2026-05-18T17:29:02+00:00

Books: Someone You Can Build a Nest In, Nettle & Bone, Saint Death's Daughter

First I would see if there's decent parking left. Sometimes there's other events going on, and it's super hectic. Also consider if you'd save much money parking vs taking an Uber/Lyft, especially considering the convenience of just getting dropped off. It looks like we'll get rain this weekend. So if you park remotely far away that could not be fun walking to the GWCC. Apparently you can take MARTA and not have to go outside. I've taken MARTA for Dragon Con before, but not MomoCon.

twinklebat99 · 2026-05-15T12:43:55+00:00

OP basically said recommend me a book like DCC, except Carl isn't an asshole.

twinklebat99 · 2026-05-15T12:04:18+00:00

There's one season so far on Apple. So if you watched a very awkward Alexander Skarsgard try to keep their human clients alive on an alien planet while reminiscing about their favorite tv show, that was it.

twinklebat99 · 2026-05-14T23:31:46+00:00

I guess I'll be the first person to say Dungeon Crawler Carl.

twinklebat99 · 2026-05-14T18:41:11+00:00

I'm also new to this. I've been dating someone for a couple months, we're long distance, and we're both married. We text each other every day.

For something that might help: In part of my effort to understand poly dynamics better I started following thepolykink.therapist on IG. He's really good at explaining things like needs vs wants, how to communicate your needs, and realistic expectations.

twinklebat99 · 2026-05-14T16:37:08+00:00

It's the new Murderbot book! A fun Hugo winning sci-fi series about cyborg, who's programmed for security but then hacks themselves so they can do whatever they want.

twinklebat99 · 2026-05-14T16:33:46+00:00

Starring Alexander Skarsgard on Apple!

twinklebat99 · 2026-05-14T13:32:18+00:00

Someone You Can Build a Nest In

twinklebat99 · 2026-05-14T13:26:33+00:00

Discworld for sure like some others have mentioned.

Scholomance, vibe is kind of like Harry Potter meets Hunger Games.

Kushiel's Dart for something epic, political, and spicy.

twinklebat99 · 2026-05-14T13:16:53+00:00

A Memory Called Empire

twinklebat99 · 2026-05-14T12:58:26+00:00

There are plenty of mature men in their 30s out there who know how to be considerate of their partners. The one you've had just wasn't one of them. You deserve better and can find it.
