Sunday Post #212


The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer    
Well the reading slump seems to have subsided- I'm back in the swing of things. It's about time too- I went through a week or so where I hardly read. Maybe the release of Warcross loosened the logjam, since I wanted to read it so much. It's starting to feel more like fall around here, with cooler temps at night. I've been opening the windows and letting the night sounds in, the cats seem to be enjoying it. 

 On the Run continues, this week will be Part XII.  

For those of you saying ewww to the Dany & Jon love scene on Game of Thrones- I found this fun article about the first time (possible) incest appeared in fandom. Well maybe not first, but remember Luke and Leia? There were some kisses and shipping going on before it was revealed (gasp) that they were siblings! And since I'm shameless I'm going to point out that I did a post on this a while back. 

Last week I reviewed One Dark Throne (this story is getting good) and I jumped into Warcross as soon as I finished The Breakdown. My review of Warcross should be up soon.   

Warcross (Warcross, #1)

Song of the week

This is an awesome cosplay from Supanova, the Australian convention. I like how supportive she is of the teens and others just getting into their cosplay.

    I think I might need to have a Star Wars weekend before the end of the year as an excuse to finally get these new films watched. I don't know that I'll include the second trilogy. I liked The Phantom Menace except that bloody Jar Jar but didn't much like the other two.

    Glad to hear you are reading again! I've seen SO MUCH incest in blockbusters and bestsellers that I don't even wince now LOL the first I can remember is definitely STar Wars and then shortly after the Flowers in the Attic Saga. OMG that brought incest to another epic generational level. Great writing btw!
    Love today's videos. I HAD to add the Fire dancing to my bucket list. It's right there now with the Burning Man :)

    Incest still bothers me in my books and movies/TV. I vividly remember my shock and disbelief when we found out about Luke and Leia; that was a heck of a twist!

    I am really jealous that you can open your windows. It's been in the 80s and humid here, putting the kibosh on my autumnal joy. Right? Blake really made some excellent decisions in ODT, and I cannot wait to read the next book. I trying to patiently wait of read Warcross (I need it for a challenge), but man! It sounds awesome. Did you buy it and get the Legend short story? I need to know what happened!

    Glad you've gotten out of your slump! I have been in one since... Idk, sometime in the winter? Like I have read some good stuff, but it hasn't had an impact like books usually do. Kind of sad. I hope this means that Warcross is good! I have it too, and I am excited!

    The video of the cosplay girl is nice- I loved watching the people's faces light up when she wanted to take pictures and such with them, especially the kids! Adorable. And I want to live in one of those mountain houses. SO pretty. But like, how would you get places? There's the conundrum.

    Glad the weather has been nice. It's been cooler here some days, some days not, but I can't sleep with the windows open because frankly I am freaked out by hearing shit from outside hahah. No worries, my AC will be in til November ;) Yay for more On the Run! Last week's was so exciting, I can't wait for whatever comes next!

      I liked the cosplay video too. She seems really cool.

      I like to have the windows open especially when I'm at the computer, since it's right by a window and I can listen to the night sounds. Not as crazy about sleeping with them open though- I don't want bugs to get in ha ha! And glad you're reading On the Run.

    I didn't know about the Luke/Leia thing ! I was very young when I watched Star Wars and I was much more interested in Anakin than anything else ~
    We see a lot of incest these days: ASOIAF, The Mortal Instruments (it's not technically incest but everyone thought it was at first and a lot of fans were cool with it. If I remember correctly, Clary said in the movie "I don't care if you're my brother" or something like that.) Even in Falling Kingdoms (to be fair, there are a lot of similarities with ASOIAF so that's maybe the reason.)
    What's crazier is how people react to it. It's cringy but some people call it "romantic" and talk about "true love".

      Yeah I always thought Luke and Leia made a pretty good couple lol. But nope- they went a different way. I do think it's pretty awkward they went with them being siblings, but who knows? I didn't know about those other examples as I haven't read those, although Falling Kingdoms is a series I was seriously considering.

      Yeah I'm not getting the true love thing there. ewww.. :)

  26. The Book DiscipleSeptember 17, 2017 at 6:04 AM

    I thought it was odd that people were freaking out about Jon and Dani when there are LOTS of examples of incest in stories. My first thought was Luke/Leia! I remember as a kid freaking out about it! Hahaha! And while in the mortal instruments it turns out they AREN'T related (and the reader knows it), the characters don't care which is pretty scandalous.
    Then again, I have never seen an episode of GOT so maybe I don't really understand at all!

    At least in Star Wars, any hint of incest disappeared pretty much the instant each found out they were related. It still leaves that kiss in The Empire Strikes Back—but then, that was always much more about Han than it was about Luke. He was just convenient.

    I honestly don't feel too eww about Danny and Jon. Maybe because Cersei desensitized the hell out of that or because they don't know they're related? Also, the time period it takes place in (I know fantasy, but clearly a historical fantasy) that kind of relationship would have been pretty normal. But such a good point about Luke and Leah!

    After the initial ewww, with Jon and Dany, I am so curious to see how their story continues. I'm slowly climbing out of a ready slump as well. Enjoy your recent addition.

    I have to get back around and read the last two installments of On the Run and prepare myself for part XII. The fire dancing was fab. Thanks for sharing it. I will also have to read your Luke and Leia post. We got a bump up in temperature and humidity the last couple of days, but the nights have been cool and the air is really fresh. You need to post pictures of your cat's again sometime. Have a wonderful week.:)

      Glad you liked the fire dancing! I did too. :)

      I love these cool nights, with all the night sounds! And I hope you like On the run...

    Sup, Greg? :D I've been slow in the reading department lately, even though I feel like reading. Haha - Dany & Jon ... shrugs. It doesn't bother me much because I just think how that kind of stuff was done a lot in the past, and it's fantasy.

      Hey! I hardly read last week. :) Yeah anything goes in fantasy I guess- and I guess it wasn't rare (or at least unheard of) in the past too.

      I'm reading Warcross right now and while the beginning didn't wow me, I have a feeling I'm going to like it. All things considered. You have a great week!!

    Glad you got out of that slump. As you know, Game of Thrones isn't my thing, but it's always great to hear about the popularity of the show, and what gets everyone talking at the water coolers. The Morals Squad book looks so neat! Hugs and Happy Monday! RO

    Glad to hear your reading slump has ended. They do suck but sometimes all you need is a good book you've been looking forward to to help kickstart your reading again.

    I wasn't a shipper of Dany and Jon on GoT but the whole incest aspect wasn't what put me off from it. I just didn't think the whole romance part of their relationship was necessary (I do love me a slowburn and I would have liked for them to meet and there to be more of a slowburn). I forgot the whole Luke/Leia incest thing, though. It's true, it's not the first time it's happened and won't be the last.

      So true. I think I was waiting for a specific book and anything else just... wasn't working!

      I'm not sure I'm a Jon/ Dany shipper either. I mean I don't care either way, but I'm not super fond of some of Dany's decisions in the books, and I'm not sure they'd be good for each other? But I could be wrong too you know??

    I need to branch out with some new Marie Lu series. I enjoyed the first YA scifi series she did. I should check out her newer stuff.

    We're "enjoying" some cooler weather too. I already miss summer. I'm looking forward to reading Warcross one of these days. Come see my week here. Happy reading!

    I'm not watching GoT but incest isn't a new plot point for fantasy or history for that matter. Or horror. Or pretty much any other genre. Come see what I'm reading

    Glad you're out of your slump. I did zero reading over the weekend and need to stop slacking. As for the incest? It didn't bother me. I grew up reading Flowers In the Attic :)

    So glad the slum is over! Since I liked Marie's Legend series, I plan to read Warcross. Looks like we will have a little bit more of summer weather yet! Yay.

    I can't believe we have to wait so long for the next season of GoT. It was so good this season. :(

    The music you posted is amazing!

    Have a great week!
