The 31st Consort Vol 2-3
I really like the 31st Consort. The conceit is having a queen who stands as an equal no matter what, changing the patriarchal idea of demure women who only fight socially. She’s forced to live within this construct but still manages despite her headstrong nature. The romance is cute, but the political infighting is what

M's Media Menagerie
Thoughtful Dumping Grounds
Trope: Shortest Way to the Heart
“The shortest way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” Also works on other genders.
Welcome to the Menagerie.
Here is where M logs their media activity. Partly because Goodreads is forgettable and keeping physical logs is harder. Sometimes M writes a lot. Sometimes M doesn’t write enough. It doesn’t matter. This is just a for-fun little blog so that M can remember what they thought about whatever they watched or read or played or. Whatever.
What is M?
I read. Voraciously. I have subscriptions to those book things on digital retailers. I consume books at nearly all hours. The hours I don’t spend reading? I’m writing. I’m drawing. I have a problem. I have a problem in that I love to read things that are in the same vein repeatedly. Book journals don’t work and as much as I text my friends screenshots of book passages, it doesn’t scratch the itch. Now I’m going to be doing… tiny… tiny book reports.
