Finished reading Tuyo. Liked it very much. Unfortunately, my options for reading book two (whose title is not, in fact, Twoyo) are limited to Amazon, Audible (which is also Amazon), and seeing if my local library is willing/able to buy ebooks and/or audiobooks from Amazon. I hate when writers go Kindle-exclusive. I hate it for me, since I'm boycotting Amazon and have managed (for name change/moved house/moved email addresses years ago reasons) to raise the barrier to getting over myself and just buying Kindle-exclusive books there high enough that I always end up just reading some other book that I could buy another way. (I bought the audiobook of book one on libro.fm, but it doesn't look like the others are available there.)
Read Sax Brightwell's Low Dawn, book one of a trilogy. I know the author from fandom, so I am not an unbiased reader. It was fun. Here is a summary of the first few chapters, in emoji form: 🪐🛸🪷☄️💥🎒📨🐎🤴🎊🦀🦐👸🥂🏕
The above summary also presents three of the four main party, and one of the two main ships (🎒📨 doesn't meet 🧬⚓ until a little later. As you can see, 🐎🤴 and 🦀🦐👸 are already celebrating their engagement.)
I would be starting on Cameron Reed's What We Are Seeking next, but my library hold just arrived for the audiobook of T. Kingfisher's Paladin's Hope, and I have a long drive coming up, so I'm going to try to race through Paladin's Strength before then.

Haven't posted anything on AO3 since last time, but on Discord I did post a few hundred words of a 9 Worlds/Ratatouille fusion fic starring Enya. If I finish it, I'll post that.

The Sekrit Project I alluded to last post has reached its destination, so I can now reveal that I made fridge magnets for![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

Food
Banana bread, when the bananas were just this side of unusable. \o/

I'm not at all good at identifying jumps, but I think what Ash did today while attacking the Birdie might have been a salchow.
