New fable feature, I'm obsessed 🤭🤭 @fableapp.bsky.social

#Booksky #Books #Fable 💙📚📖🦋

The shelfie feature of fable
Background image is a large, twisting tree
Over is the title Wildly Amused which is written over two shelves. The first shelf contains an old telephone, the books Wuthering Heights, Nice Guys Finish Dead and Le petit prince, and then a candle heart
The second shelf contains an image of the show The Office, a skull, an image of the show A Series Of Unfortunate Events, and a red feathered quill
Under is text that says: From moody moors to ruthless offices, you find drama everywhere. You embrace the chaos, seeing life as a darkly humorous stage.

The image portrays a grid of nine classic book covers, arranged in three rows and three columns. The top row features "Northanger Abbey" on a tan cover with a horse-drawn carriage, "Alice in Wonderland" on a pink cover with floral elements and characters, and "Peter Pan" on a greenish cover with an illustration of nature and children. The middle row displays "Little Women" on a peach-colored cover with household objects and flowers, “The Secret Garden” with a floral design and a doorway on a brown cover, and "Jane Eyre" on a reddish-brown cover with a birdcage. The bottom row includes "Wuthering Heights" on a bluish cover with a landscape of hills and trees, "Anne of Green Gables" on a cream-colored cover with a girl standing in nature, and "Sense & Sensibility" on a pale blue cover with two bonnets.

Why does he have to be funny you can't be unlikable and funny
#Booksky #books #deathatthesavoy

Quite from Ron Base and Prudence Emery's Death at the Savoy, page 117:

Sidney gave Priscilla a smug look as she emerged from Clive Banville's office. He handed her a manila envelope. "Everything you need is in there," he said.
She took the envelope. Sidney grinned. "Oh, are you in for it."
"You really are an ass, do you know that, Sidney?"
"A word of advice from one ass to another: Don't
screw up."
As much as she hated to admit it, El Sid was absolutely right, Priscilla thought. She mustn't screw up.

I think being given headcanons and mischaracterized like a character who has 5 minutes of screentime in the whole series could heal me, probably
