Re: media corner
TV/Movies:
I am only a few episodes in with Ms. Maisel but highly recommend!
I love the new Tick series on Amazon, it cracks me up endlessly.
I'm still going through all the Marvel shows (I'm on Punisher right now), but I recently loved Altered Carbon (Netflix). I warn you, it's daaaark but mostly worth it. It does have (off-screen) child death, so trigger warning. But the premise is that instead of dying, your neural stack (this disk at the base of your brain) can get transferred into a new body, so no one really ever dies. The main character is this soldier/detective type from years before whose stack was put in suspension (you'll find out why) and someone pays a lot of money to bring him back to solve a murder. The world-building is very cool.
Books, I literally read so many that this is just from the last few weeks:
The Girl Who Loved Reindeer, Meredith Ann Pierce. And if you haven't read any of her books before, I highly highly recommend Birth of the Firebringer which is pure fantasy, first in a trilogy, about the war between unicorns and dragons (we are talking war unicorns!). This book was st in a world similar to ours, hunter-gatherer era, setting is very close to Inuit/North Pole/upper Norweigan area, but it does have magic. When the land that the main character (Caribou) lives in starts falling apart, with earthquakes and terrible storms, she has to teach the local villages how to build transports and escape across the Pole to the lands on the other side. Lots of fascinating mythology and magic.
Poison Princess, Kresley Cole. This is a post apoc series, young adult, with mythology built in. Basically, the main character discovers she is one of the Arcana, and whenever there is a major world upheaval like this, all the Arcana (think Empress, Death, Fool, etc) must battle til only one survives, in order for the world to continue on. It's got great survivalist themes, the magic (about their prior incarnations for one), and of course some romance. I'm on book three now.
I'm starting on The Map Thief which is actually a nonfiction account of this major map thief who used to cut them out of valuable ancient books and resell. Hoping it's good!
Re: media corner
the map thief sounds v relevant to my usual interests. :u that's goin on a list for suuure. i haven't been as into more recent YA fantasy stuff for some reason, but i LOVE stuff set in the far north for some reason? sooo i might have to check out the girl who loved reindeer too :u thanks!!
