I think I have 6 of them. Considering I've only read 7 stories, I think it's pretty good.

Locked in 13. I should probably write some of this down before it gets lost in my brain somewhere.

Really powerful and well written story was a satisfying character arc. I like the dynamic energy woven into the writing, very well done.

I knew a couple quotes, but still have at least half the stories left to read.

So this is a western. I don't read a lot of them. I think I expected more...I don't know...cows and horses. Instead I got monsters and cosmic horror and some damn good writing. I like it.

I just finished The Ledger and it absolutely slays.

🤯 Okay, wow. This is so interesting. I'll openly admit that I was a bit intimidated by the length and the subject matter. And I still struggled with some of the aspects of the alternate timeline politics. However, the intrigue and the characters and the writing was great. The writing throughout was very good and suited the tone of the story excellently, but I really enjoyed these lines: A misplaced carriage, a bad fall on wet stone, a fire in a room no one was meant to enter, history has many quiet methods for correcting inconvenient courage. Frightened men were dangerous, but they were also impatient, and impatience made handles if a person knew where to grip. Inside, wrapped in cracked black oilcloth and bound with a cord hardened by age, lay a book no larger than a church Bible and thicker than a banker’s conscience. This was a great read and well worth the time. Thanks for sharing, SA.

AU version of The Civil War, that's ambitious. Looking forward to seeing what else is in store and how much I remember from my American history class.

Well, that was...something. I'm so glad to have a one story house without an attic. This was weird, but good.

I have changed my mind and will be following the list that @Thirdlyposted because I like how they're grouped. I've read Emptying the Library (wow) going to try Gemma ( the violence tag makes me nervous) and then The Ledger when I've got a minute cause that sucker is beefy.

I guessed a shifter at first, but I'm glad I was wrong. I'm going with cats for the same reason an earlier commenter did...my cats knock stuff off counters for no reason all the time. I call it "testing gravity time".

Very cute story. Short and sweet with a happy ending.

Interesting. SA did a great job at making Josef disgusting and absolutely reprehensible and the story fit the theme. I would have liked to see more development of the relationship between David and Karl (the one bed trope slays) but a very good story that makes you think.

I'll be honest...driving up into Arches National Park in the dark was terrifying. But I'm glad we did it even though we were pretty exhausted the next day by getting up in the middle of the night for a little adventure.

I like this quote. It reminds me of this spring, when I traveling in Utah with a friend and we went to a park at night for star gazing. The absolute darkness was both terrifying and awe-inspiring, but the amount of stars that we were able to see was unreal.

The next morning, Malik, Rhaelce, Shuza and Kalloh all studied the map again, trying to find the best route to the mountains. There were small settlements here and there, but most of it would be through the heavy forest if they wanted a more direct route, and all of them agreed it would be the most favorable. Rhaelce and Kalloh could hunt for food, and they all felt that another run-in with bandits would be less likely the further away from settlements they traveled. Checking in with Chihiro,

Interesting perspective. I would probably try to pet a cat even as I lay dying too. Nicely done.

I see two that look promising. Now to find the time....

I'm glad these will be up a while. I haven't had a lot of time. I think I'm going to sort by rating and tags. I want dark and moody instead of light and fluffy. 🤪

Welcome on board!

Malik is going to heal at his own pace. But it's nice to see that everyone is so invested in their relationship. Pardon my typo. Tailiese it is, then. You posted this on Wednesday night at 9:23 P.M. EST. Nice try though. Thanks for reading and commenting!

It's good progress on both sides and good to see finally. Thanks for reading and commenting!

Rhaelce's betrayal was a deep wound for Malik, so it's not going to heal over night. While it's frustrating to see them still at odds with each other, they are trying. But if their behavior seems childish, it's because they are still young, and still figuring things out. But they'll get there. Thanks for reading and commenting!

It won't be easy, that's for sure. Thanks for reading and commenting!

I would be optimistic. The writer likes it when her characters kiss. Thanks for reading and commenting.
