Audiobooks do a lot of heavy lifting for me! And just sitting down every night before bed.

Sometimes it's 10 pages, sometimes it's 70 🤷
Sometimes it's rereading the same paragraph 10 times because I have something on my mind.

Which, to be clear: I'm a SLOOOOW reader. I'm just Avid so it looks fast. 70 pages before bed is a. Lot. For me.

I read 70 pages of this last night so I guess I'm reading it after all 😂

I know this book has mixed reviews but it's basically Kelsi Bait so far.

Pairing An Education in Malice with with Dont Let the Forest in just feels...right.

DLFI was lovely. A little gory Yaoi. I didn't love it as much as I wanted to, but I do think it is a beautiful book.

Hi #PortfolioDay !
I'm Ollie, and I write comics. I wrote the graphic novel OFF MENU (aka THE RESTAURANT AT THE EDGE OF THE WORLD). I've written for IP including Red Sonja and 2000AD, and award-winning projects like YOUNG MEN IN LOVE.

my schedule is open and I'd love to work with more editors!

A stack of copies of THE RESTAURANT AT THE EDGE OF THE WORLD, by me and Kelsi Jo Silva.

I have no idea, I'm still reading the forward 😂

It was written in the 13th century though so I'm sure a certain level of looking-things-up needs to happen.

you would make a terrible Greek Poet, and I think that's perfectly okay!

Kelsi Jo @kelsijosilva.bsky.social · 1d

I'm saving it for the slow winter months! A big book for cold days just seems like a vibe.

Ah fuck, I Love Poetic prose.

Ok I MIGHT have lied.

I have this beautiful copy of Dante that I've just been sitting on for the longest time and it's KIIIIIINDA calling my name rn.

I haven't tried to read it bc... I don't feel smart enough. BUT I think I'm in a good head space for it now.

My beautiful special edition of Divine Comedy.

Wait until they hear what the Greek Poets used to do.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

Its gonna be a good, long winter read!!

Kelsi Jo @kelsijosilva.bsky.social · 1d

Ooh, I will have to watch after I read the book!

I'm saving that one for cold weather for whatever reason. Its so long, and I feel like it's made for long, dark winter months.

🥺🙏 I'm so glad. Im in my book girly era and making it everyone else's problem.

I think I'm going to just include the ones I really liked in the future. I don't want to discourage anyone from trying a book they might like.

I'm knocking out this haul like dominoes 😭

Time to start going to the library, I think. I can't do this every month 🥲

Book haul from previous post. 4/6 books taken out.

this is to say DLFI is worth reading! I would recommend it for my gory, visceral YAOI Academia enjoyers.

Kelsi Jo @kelsijosilva.bsky.social · 1d

The whole treatment of the book is really pretty. It feels like holding an old, worn notebook/sketchbook. Just REALLY good decisions on the design end.

Her soul is actually currently already in the possession of Asmodeus so I guess maybe they can have her body?

Is it wise to let the fae feed you 30 cowboy books?

TIME WILL TELL.

Important development in my DND campaign:

The faewild library had a stock of my character's favtorite genre books to get rid of.

So now Maeve's backpack is full of Cowboy books.

I've been told at least one of the is sapphic smut.
