Steven Reads Attack on Titan

I'm currently reading Chapter 15. So I'll have A TON of posts once the threads collapse.
I'm not sure who besides Meg has read the manga around here but I'm still pretty excited!

(Oh and as an extra note this thread will have tons of spoilers for the anime aside from episode 22 which I haven't watched yet.)

Elie verbs Feast for Crows

In Westeros you still have the naked dream, but you're being eaten by a chair.

And bump this up the list I guess.

Ok, so can I say thank you to the person who I've forgotten now who recommended Zombies, Run!? I just tried it out for the first time and it definitely made running more bearable (though I would advise 1) not going for a run after having a hard row in the morning, 2) not going for a run less than an hour after eating half a large double cheese pizza and 3) not deciding to continue up a steep hill for a zombie chase instead of turning around and running down)! This is especially a good thing as I will be moving at the end of the month and may not be able to row or join a gym straight away, so I am going to have to rely on running to keep in shape. (Though I need to scrape together the money for some new trainers before then as my current ones are really not good for me. There's a running shop down the road from work which is meant to be really good at recommending shoes, but also not cheap at all...)

Hey guys, I have a question. I'm debating reading along with Mark for The Android's Dream, but when I check the schedule it doesn't seem to be on there. Mark posted his thoughts on chapter 1 a few days ago, but the book only shows up on the schedule on September 23, which is apparently for chapter 6. Any idea what the schedule will be for this book?

Meg's best friend comes to town and she makes excellent decisions regarding her hair

MY BEST FRIEND IN THE UNIVERSE IS VISITING ME RIGHT NOW AND I HAVEN'T SEEN HER IN TWO YEARS AND THAT'S WHY I HAVEN'T BEEN AROUND THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS

anyway, while she was here, I made drastic hair changes because I can. My family's out of the house right now and they're going to be so surprised when they get back ahaha.

Images under the cut, both to protect the innocent and because they're large images.

Ember Quill Watches Once Upon A Time

I’m kind of experiencing Dragon Age burnout, so Ember Quill Plays Dragon Age Origins: Awakening is on hold for a while. I guess that’s what I get for playing through a pretty large portion of Origins (including the entirety of the Brecilian Forest, various side-quests, and everything from the Landsmeet to the end) in less than a week, then hopping right into Awakening only a day later. So I’m giving myself some time off from that game.

Anyway, on to Once Upon a Time!

ZOMG NEW N.K. JEMISIN BOOK.

Untitled Magic Seismology Project is no longer untitled!


The Fifth Season is set in a world which has suffered frequent, repeated Extinction Level Events for millions of years, and all life (and magic) in this world has adapted to it. Hundreds of years might pass between these events — easy, plentiful years in which great cities rise, and people have the leisure for art and science and rapid advancement — but then, again and again, the cities fall. The world is littered with the detritus of these times of plenty, and this cover hints at them: past ages of decadence, now decaying; stone that endures beneath flaking gilt. Lauren Panepinto (Orbit’s Art Director) has nailed it again.

Jemisin has given some other details about the book on her blog, and IT IS BASICALLY ABOUT EARTHBENDERS. Given that Inheritance was great and Dreamblood was fucking fantastic, I expect this new series to be absolutely AMAZEBALLS.

N.K. Jemisin: Gah -- for all the people wanting to know when 5thSeaon will be out, I *just finished the first draft.* It's nowhere near release. Sorry! :-)

Me: Your use of the numeral makes me think you're going to start referring to it as 5th 5ea5on, and the sequel will be called 2 5th 2 5rious.

N.K. Jemisin: Sunil, BWAHAHAHA!!!

...Now I wanna do it.
