Redwall by Brian Jacques. Introduced me to so many things like the fantasy genre, multi-book series, deep worldbuilding, archetypal races and probably way more. The food descriptions also stand out in my memory.

Haven't gone back to see how it stands up but I highly recommend it for kids whose reading level is improving and want to move up a tier in length/difficulty.

Give it a try and let me know how it works for you!

Trying it out with this comment. Never could get used to the layout on the Interstellar app, which is otherwise pretty good. Everything looks right in terms of presentation so far.

Just typical right-wing corruption. Keeping people dependent on cars is massively profitable. It keeps people poor and their paycheques flowing upward as the ruling class wants it. Canada being nothing but a few oligopolies in a trenchcoat.

And simulates it in escalating military exercises every year while rapidly expanding its navy, including massive landing barges. But, sure, fear mongering.

Being evil is brutal in BG3. They have you go through turn-based combat to murder defenseless civilians, party members are totally broken by the actions they took and openly hate you, and the party members that stay comment on how much of a backstabbing bastard you are.

It's nothing like a campy, fun Mass Effect renegade playthrough. Kinda depressing honestly.

I can't see how it's dozens of bottles worth in that small space. It's mostly empty for the lighter fluid too. Just a bottle cap and bottle threading is a decent amount of plastic. Maybe 2 or 3, sure.

Just finished reading volume 5 of the manga. This series is fantastic, and I'm really curious to see what the next arc the author is hinting at is.

Can't wait to dive into the anime once it's done airing. That people are raving at the quality is really promising.

Doesn't he kill you in this scene if you let him? Good instinct to have that crossbow handy.

A literal death cult fueled by insatiable greed. They won't stop until we're swimming in pollution in 50Β°C+ summers of constant wildfires
