Sunday reading question for adult fantasy lovers: What's a book that made you believe in heroism again? I'm looking for that perfect balance of literary beauty and genuine hope. #BookTwitter #AdultFantasy #ComfortReads
Have you ever read a book that made you homesick for a place that never existed?

Getting to live a life without fear of your embarrassing moment becoming the laughingstock of the world. Forget just having your friends laugh at you; now people around the globe can gleefully revel in your most awkward, embarrassing moments.
Have you ever practiced #martialarts? If so, which one(s)? And why'd that one appeal to you?
It's cliche, but high school. They weren't terrible years; they weren't good years. High school simply happened. It was hyped up as this time of "coming-of-age experiences," and it really didn't deliver. College was much more meaningful and formative for me.
I remember the hate I got for writing in first person (I still role my eyes at the person who said I only wrote in 1st person because I need more life experience).
And now we're hating on 3rd person?
I can't wait until people find out 2nd person exists.
Also, in hindsight, this was when the ruination of my life began.
I've been back for three days, and I'm already over it with accounts spamming AI videos like they're real content.

Is it time for you to fly away on a wooden spaceship to galaxies unknown?
I guarantee it's better than doomscrolling!
An interconnected series in KU with book one being just 0.99, why not take a chance on something new and different?
ALT Lifestyle of two paperback books with a wood block stamp and crocodile-like creature as a diecut sticker beside the books. The cover is a blue spacey scene with purple nebulas and two looming planets. The larger planet is across the bottom. An old-fashioned wooden ship with sails is flying towards the viewer. Gold foil-like text at the top state the series name, Inner Universe. The title is across the planet at the bottom and in large letters reads, River in the Galaxy. Beneath in slightly smaller text the author name, Natalie Kelda.
Not all fantasy heroes save kingdoms. What’s a quiet act of heroism you’ll never forget from a book?

Having a baby. A number of things have defined my life in "before and after," but the birth of my son is the one that tells all the other moments to take a seat and be quiet.
I spend an uncomfortable amount of time during the day silently asking myself, "OK, what would a normal person do right now?"
The particularly difficult part is that I don't think I've ever met a normal person.
