pickI liked this better than Neon Gods, but not as much as Electric Idol or Radiant Sin. I liked the way the relationship between Helen, Achilles, and Patroclus developed and I am enjoying how the Olympus story line is playing out. The audiobook narration is great and Alex Moorcock does a phenomenal job differentiating between Achilles and Patroclus. I think I need a break, though. The binge may be part of my issue.
pickinterestingly the people who wrote in contributions to this book said that their biggest barriers to polyamory were social stigma and illegibility (not jealousy or logistics). Not a particularly rigorous sample though
Diving into the third installment in the Dark Olympus series. With the series coming to an end next year, it‘s time I get caught up. #honeymoon #beachday
We do not care that our panties were inside out all day yesterday. At least we were wearing them!
We tried going commando once. We dropped our panties on the wet floor in the locker room after swimming, so we had no choice. We did not like it.

pickI loved this so much I will probably be recommending it a LOT! The audiobook narrator was also fantastic. This blends Chinese history and mythology with mecha science fiction. There are parts that did feel a little spoon-fed, but it didn't interfere with the story for me. The worldbuilding was just incredible. There were a lot of edge of my seat moments, which honestly, I don't always like. They worked in this, however. TW right at front of book.
pickLow pick, mostly because of the aforementioned #undramaticirony. It did get revealed in the next chapter. I also felt that all the conflicts were resolved too easily. However, I loved all the characters and found the main three all relatable in different ways, which was nice. The poly and queer rep felt very true to life, and I just loved the endings (it felt like the last two chapters and the epilogue were all different endings)!
Gah. I was excited for this polyamorous romance and really enjoying it so far. Then I hit the halfway point and the main character reads some paperwork and discovers!!! Some DRAMA!!!
No idea what the drama is.
I‘m annoyed. I‘m going to give it one more chapter. If the drama isn‘t revealed by the end of that chapter, this is a DNF (and maybe even if the drama is revealed).
pickReally interesting and juicy and fun look at an open marriage.
pickPicked this up because I heard about it on a podcast. Mel is a bartender and she is flirting with this woman at the bar and finds out she‘s married. Then she finds out they‘re poly. At the same time she‘s trying to keep everything casual because she‘s scarred from her divorce. She also learns about this cocktail/bartender contest and is working towards creating a cocktail for it. I liked this one!
