I don't think he knows about "reading the books you have" 😂

by
Three panel meme with scene from the Lord of the Rings film where Pippin is asking about second breakfast. Pippin: What about a new book? Aragon: We've already bought new book. Pippin: We've bought one, yes. But what about a second new book?

I don't think he knows about "reading the books you have" 😂

What do you mean OR?

by
Post by C.G. Drews Apparently some people go to bed and just...sleep??? They don't plot a 7-book epic fantasy series or softly broil in existential dread or replay every mistake they ever made??? And then they wake up [checks notes] REFRESHED? | just. It sounds a bit fake.

What do you mean OR? 🤔 I can broil in existential dread and plot a fantasy series at the same time. 😂 Luckily I don't make mistakes, at least not any I'm willing to admit too 😜

Picture of a book where the map folds out so at to stay on the side of the text while you read. Captioned: Every book should have its maps set up like this...

So, if I'm reading this correctly, if I suggest library cats for all libraries I will inevitably become king of the world... 😜😁

Damn those socialist plots, what are they trying to do, help people?!

Story structure can be good, it can also make it painfully obvious

by
One panel comic by Tom Gauld showing a tall man and a short elf walking over a mountain. The elf reading a book says, "We've had our "inciting incident" and we're on the "journey" so it seems like we'll be having a "crisis" any minute now..." The man looking annoyed replies, "This quest was a lot more fun before you got that book on story structure."

Story structure can be good, it can also make it painfully obvious. Personally I prefer not being able to guess the ending after the first chapter... 🤔😁
