I’ve always wanted to talk about how weird it was scrolling through reddit and then suddenly seeing myself on the front page. I was banned from reddit for talking about politics (I am anti trump) on the air force reddit so I wasn’t even able to comment on a post about me.
For some backstory, I was returning from a Halloween cruise and it was the only clean shirt I had left (I was planning on wearing it during the cruise as there were no children allowed on the cruise and with the theme I thought it would get a few laughs or at least start a conversation). I never did though and doing laundry on a cruise was quite expensive (I think 50 dollars per load or something like that). I tried to hide the shirt as best I could throughout the day as I do think it was slightly inappropriate to wear in a public setting.
For the record, I love all the comments roasting me and I laughed all fucking day reading them!
Anyways, I have always wanted to publicly talk about this and in my search for reddit alternatives I found lemmy so here we are. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

Clockwork prince by Cassandra Clare. I found the three book series at a thrift store and got though the first book on the cruise and was working on the second.
Was it a good book series? Worth reading?
If you like fantasy, romance and a bit of mystery. It wasn’t anything amazing but I found it for a few bucks at a thrift store and it’s held my attention so far. Apparently there are a ton of books in the series.
Judging by the heft of that book, the author isn’t hurting for inspiration.
Can we turn this into a book recommendation thread? If you want fantasy horror, anything by T. Kingfisher is great. I love the Sworn Soldier books (reinterpretation of The Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allen Poe) and the World of the White Rat series.
If you like litrpg I recommend life at reset… Basically(no spoilers this is book 1 chapter 1) guy is head of huge guild in a mmorpg, he gets betrayed by his friend and turned into a literal monster. As it progresses it goes in several weird directions of philosophy as weird as that sounds.
Its a YA fantasy novel, written at the start of those getting more popular again. If you are looking for a series to just read for awhile, its not bad - the novels are all actually a decent length, and she has written several series within the same universe.
There is a lot of teenage angst in all of the books though.
Was the cruise worth it? Never been on one so don’t know if bringing books is a thing or not.
