Welcome to Tremontaine, where ambition, love affairs, and rivalries dance with deadly results. In this novel Ellen Kushner and a team of writers return readers to the world of scandal and swordplay introduced in her cult-classic novel Swordspoint. Readers familiar with the series will find a welcome homecoming while new fans will learn what makes Riverside a place they will want to visit again and again. Tremontaine follows Diane, Duchess Tremontaine, whose beauty is matched only by her cunning; Rafe Fenton, a handsome young scholar with more passion than sense; Ixkaab Balam, a tradeswoman from afar with skill for swords and secrets; and Micah, a gentle genius whose discoveries herald revolution. Sparks fly as these four lives intersect in a world where politics is everything, and outcasts are the tastemakers. Tread carefully, dear reader, and keep your wit as sharp as your steel. Originally presented in serial form by Serial Box Publishing, Tremontaine is brought to you by Ellen Kushner, Alaya Dawn Johnson, Joel Derfner, Racheline Maltese, Paul Witcover, Tessa Gratton, and Mary Anne Mohanraj.

I love this series so much, y'all! The second season is packed with intrigue, relationship drama, academic enthusiasm, sword fights, and queer folks, and I still think the premiere is flawless (NOT something I say lightly). Diane is the Slytherinest Slytherin of all the Slytherins and you absolutely MUST read this so you can meet her. Start with S1 for best effect.

Done! This was fun, and it gave me an excuse to listen to a couple more episodes of TREMONTAINE. #audiopuzzling

xicanti @SamanthaMarie I thrifted it, but it's called America's Best Brewers and it's from White Mountain Puzzles. Hopefully it's still in production so you can get one for your husband! 6y

I started a great new puzzle last night: Beer Labels of America! This one should work up pretty quick since it's so much fun. #audiopuzzling

I hit 8:56 for #13in3 while I did some #audiopuzzling. I was lucky enough to snag this Star Wars comics puzzle for $0.80 during the thrift store's 60% off toys event.

Did some #audiobaking this morning. My uncle requested a spice cake with fluffy white icing for his birthday, and I figured I should make this new-to-me recipe a few days early. If the bit I slice off the top tastes good, it'll freeze; if not, I've got time to try something else. #13in3

Lreads They look really tasty! 😋 6y
xicanti @QuietlyLaura they turned out well! Into the freezer they go! 6y

Pumpkin #4 is done! I figured I'd carve a proper jack-o-lantern face for once. I haven't done one since I was a little kid. #audiocarving

AlaMich That‘s impressive!! 🎃 6y
xicanti @AlaMich I wish I'd given it fewer teeth. They got a bit awkward! 6y

And now, Pumpkin #3.

I haven't decided what I'll do for the fourth one. Mona Lisa's always popular and she carves up fast, but I wanted to go Full Hallowe'en this year. We'll see how I feel tomorrow afternoon. #audiocarving

cathysaid Wow!! So cool! Are these freehand? Regardless, amazing 👍 6y
xicanti @cathysaid nah, I transfer the pattern onto the pumpkin before I start. Someday I'd like to let the design emerge solely on the pumpkin and see what happens. 6y
cathysaid @xicanti Still...looks great. I particularly like the figure in the window (I assume the Paycho house?). 6y
TobeyTheScavengerMonk I got no pumpkin skills. This is amazing. 6y

Happy Thanksgiving, friends! I've just finished the custard for the lemon sour cream pie I'm contributing to tonight's supper. I'll blend in the sour cream as soon as this lot's cooled off, then fill the pie crust I baked last night. It's gonna be awesome. #audiobaking

There were a whole lotta wet leaves on my #audiowalk. Sigh.

The kind folks at Serial Box gave us #tremonTEAM members the first episode of TREMONTAINE S3 a bit early, and I can resist it no longer. Gonna start my weekend with Diane, Kaab, and a cup of sweeter-than-usual coffee (because I couldn't quite work my way towards a more appropriate cup of chocolate at this hour of the day).

It also fits with #30daysofreadathon, given that each individual serial ep is pretty thin and reads up quick!
