Was fortunate to visit the Art Institute of Chicago yesterday where they are exhibiting Hokasai's The Wave. The wood block print is so exquisite and much smaller than anticipated. This photo does not do it justice....but wanted to share anyway.
Finished making my personal storygraph trackers for #frozensick and #frigidwoe .

pickA teen retelling of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. Prickly Vi Reyes masquerades as a boy on an Arthurian inspired MMORPG to avoid bullying. Jack "Duke" Orsino is football royalty who starts playing the game after a season-ending injury.
We have a GoT style TV show, a sff/gaming convention, tabletop D&D, feminism, computer gaming and both characters growing in a realistic way.
I really liked all the characters (with a few obvious exceptions).
so-soD&D truly changed the world of strategy and RPG games. Unfortunately, the tale behind its creation was not as exciting as it had been billed to me. I felt this book was a textbook-like retelling of facts to include annual sales numbers. The game‘s very slow build from mocked fantasy game to cultural icon is interesting. Overall though I just felt like something was missing…like any type of connection to the creators.
I was today years old when I discovered that Olivie Blake and Alexene Farol Follmuth are the same person! 😱 This is a YA story based loosely on Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, so I was already pretty excited to read it! But now that I really know who wrote it I'm even more excited! 🥰
