If you see this you’re legally obligated to reblog and tag with the book you’re currently reading
I consider it a personal failing I kinda top out at merely "pleasantly excited" even for stuff that I'm really into/looking forward to. There is a level of emotional distance that I almost never bridge.
With that being said, after today's episode I can only describe myself as FUCKING HYPED for future events with Nynaeve. I feel giddy at the thought. It's weird but nice.

*Little John from the 1973 animated Disney film voiced by Phil Harris was not included because he does not meet the admission guidelines for the the Medieval and Fantasy Melee. Though we may include characters/versions of a character in exit polls that were not submitted in the tournament proper, we still only include those who would have qualified, had anyone thought to submit them.

Hi do you have any recs for adult mlm books written by queer men? Preferably being published this year but I'll take anything 😃
Always! My huuuge fave is the Evander Mills historical mystery series by Lev Rosen. I Think They Love You by Julian Winters came out in January and was great. Timothy Janovsky has two this year - Once Upon You & Me out later this month and A Mannequin for Christmas in September. MA Wardell has a whole bunch going on - his Teachers in Love series is being rereleased by Forever and the fourth book is now coming out in... I think November? He and AJ Truman (also a queer man) are also releasing the second book in their Big Boys Small Spaces series - Cut to the Feeling, out in September. There’s also the Rainbow Ranch series coming in July, which has books by both MA Wardell and Max Walker.
Back to AJ Truman, he’s launching a new hockey series this month called the comebacks - Gross Misconduct is out on the 28th. Chip Pons has a new rom com coming in June called Winging it With You. Adib Khorram’s newest, It Had to Be Him, releases in September (and definitely read last year’s I’ll Have What He’s Having if you haven’t yet!), and Ben Alderson has a whole bunch of Fantasy releases and rereleases - honestly, it’s faster to just look him up on Amazon and sort by Publication Date.
If you’re into Romantasy, Ben Chalfin just released The Prince’s Heart in February, and whew sorry my brain immediately went to Romance, but definitely check out The Guncle by Steven Rowley (oldie but goodie contemp fiction), The In-Between Bookstore by Edward Underhill (new trans spec fic), Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar (last year), anything by Nicolas DiDomizio, In Tongues by Thomas Grattan, Yes, Daddy by Jonathan Parks-Ramage (personal fave but biiig cws for abuse/assault/religious trauma - he also has a new one coming in I think June called It’s Not the End of the World that I haven’t read yet), Just By Looking at Him by Ryan O’Connell (also personal fave that is not new), Providence by Craig Willse, Small Joys by Elvin James Mensah, I Might Be in Trouble by Daniel Aleman and anything by Brandon Taylor, Bryan Washington, Andrew Sean Greer, and Garth Greenwell. Paul Rudnick has a new one this year called What is Wrong with You? and Adam Haslett released Mothers and Sons in January.
If you’re interested in Crime Fiction, check out Joshua Moehling, Michael Nava, Joseph Hansen, Christopher Bollen, Rob Osler, and P.J. Vernon. For Fantasy, I admittedly rarely read Adult fantasy but I have read the MOST gushing about The Spear Cuts Through Water by Simon Jimenez, and obviously there’s TJ Klune and Ben Alderson, but also try A Market of Dreams and Destiny by Trip Galey and (again, mannnny cws) Black Leopard, Red Wolf by Marlon James. If Sci-Fi’s more your jam, definitely get to know Nathan Tavares! Okay that was a lot so I will shut up now, but if I missed any genres you’re particularly interested in, hit me up again!

Being an evil doppelganger has to be so fucked up like imagine meeting a better version of yourself. Some chain of events going differently that led to "you" being a better person in a way you can never achieve. Personally I'd have no other option but to try and kill them
It's always "oh no my evil clone or twin or whatever is trying to kill me" and never How is my evil clone? Says a lot about society
Me, crashing the fuck out: you think you're better than me? You think you're fucking better than me???
My good clone, dodging a glass: I mean like objectively yeah
If you would like to read a really good and fun science fiction romp that is all in on this question, try Brothers in Arms by Lois McMaster Bujold. Extremely twisty political situation played out through compelling character/family drama.
It's part of a series, but serialized enough that you can start there and still enjoy it I think.

Victor Gadino's cover art for the novels of Gordon Merrick. With the exception of A Measure of Madness (1986, Warner), all were released by Avon, from 1971 to 1984.
I'm not particularly fond of Merrick's work, but these Gadino covers remain among the greatest of gay literature.

Loaf’s please just tell me what to read guide to Victoria Goddard’s nine worlds books
The shortest reasonable route through Kip and His Radiancy’s story is The Hands of the Emperor followed by The Return of Fitzroy Angursell, optionally The Redoubtable Pali Avramapul, and At the Feet of the Sun.
A “I don’t want to get completely side-tracked by different stories but context is nice” route is:
- The Hands of the Emperor (Doorstopper novel)
- Petty Treasons (Novella) (and possibly The Tower at the Edge of the World (short story))
- The Return of Fitzroy Angursell (Novel)
- The Sisters Avramapul 1 & 2 (Novella)
- The Redoubtable Pali Avramapul (Novel)
- Portrait of a Wide Seas Islander (Novella) (and possibly Those Who Hold the Fire (novelette))
- At The Feet of the Sun (Doorstopper novel)
The “I want to read everything route”: This can can be done by reading all of the current novellas at any point after The Hands of the Emperor, but these can also be added to the reading order directly above. Greenwing & Dart and Till Human Voices Wake Us can be started at any point.
My friend told me to read this author but I refuse to start with a 900 page book
Petty Treasons, The Tower at the Edge of the World, Those Who Hold the Fire, Terec and the Wild, In the Company of Gentlemen and The Sisters Avramapul are all decent starting points at short story or novella length.
You could also start with Greenwing and Dart, which are cozy mysteries of more typical novel size, or with Till Human Voices Wake Us, which was Victoria’s first published novel.

(Peter Wimsey voice) Let's get something out of the way. I know I look and sound like I personally know Bertie Wooster. I know that my entire mien is that of a devoted attendee of his gentleman's club. I know. Unfortunately I am the smartest person in a ten mile radius and there's been a murder.
“I—I'm afraid it's ridiculous of me to suppose you can help me," she began.
"Always my unfortunate appearance," moaned Lord Peter, with such alarming acumen as to double her discomfort. "Would it invite confidence more, d'you suppose, if I dyed my hair black an' grew a Newgate fringe? It's very tryin', you can't think, always to look as if one's name was Algy.”
—Dorothy L. Sayers, The Unprincipled Affair of the Practical Joker
