Hehe. After I posted the first two-three, I started thinking when looking at cool pics "Oh! I need to share this one with the guys at FBR". I now have a list of pics' just waiting to be posted here x)

Somehow these pictures are giving me Mieville-vibes :)

[Virginie]

The only Mieville book I tried was Kraken (and I DNF'd it around 40% :p)

You may already know this, but he is Janny Wurts's husband.

I didn't know that. That's pretty cool!

I finished it... and tried Embassytown after it and liked it a bit better... and then tried Perdido Street Station and just gave up and moved on to things I preferred... that was February/April/May, I think...

I believe there are only two possibilities with a book by Mieville: either you love it or you don't like it at all. I loved Perdido Street Station and the Scar but dnf'd Iron Council, so I understand you guys :)
In case you want to try it again, I'd recommend the Scar as it's more accessible.

I'm going to wait awhile... I have other (less) weird authors I like better that I need to finish... like A. Lee Martinez

I read last year, but could still do with going back and reading when the mood strikes... and has been lurking in the back of my mind since I discovered it's existence, for the blurb alone...

[Soo]

Yay for A. Lee Martinez! =D

[Soo]

[Laura]

those pics are awesome!!!
(don't mind me please, I'm just lurking here.)

Yeah, I figured he's one of those authors... I'll probably give his work another try but not in the near future - too many things to read :O
Thanks for the recommendation though :)

[Virginie]

Thank for the pics', Soo! The last one makes me think of Miyazaki's Laputa/Castle in the Sky for some reason.

[Virginie]

Today's theme is quite obvious!

@Soo: I just realized... The first post-apo pic' you posted... That's from an anime, right? Two girls wandering around in a world where mankind is extinct, and one of them only thinks of eating EVERYTHING all the time? (can't recall the name lol)

[Soo]

I usually post anime related pix. Had to hunt it down. It's the Girl's Last Tour manga.

Oh, thanks. I couldn't remember the name of the anime. What does it says about me that I only remember the girl obsessed with food xD

Today's pic!



(I know it's my own tracker, but I don't want to bother the few people checking out new posts here - tell me if I overdo it with the pics', ok?)

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

As this is the first time I've checked out your tracker on my desktop - love the pics!!!!

Todays picture is really beautiful, and I also love the one with the ship and the tentacles coming from below, you posted a few days ago :)

[Soo]

You can post whatever you want. It is your thread. =)

That's gorgeous. I love the pics you post here.

[Laura]

I love them too! And today's is gorgeous!!

[Soo]

I love those! The top one reminds me of Skyward.

Well then those look...…..nice

However we need to balance out these pictures with some masculine pictures and I got just the one



Look upon Captain Americas....big.....breasted?...…..beauty???

I linked the image so you can read it, but I think you get the gist from the facial expressions :)

Omg I just noticed the little shield used for censoring (it's kinda tiny given how well-built he is otherwise) lol

Female armor in fantasy pictures is often so ridiculous!

My favorite is the third. In my head, the (doomed) guy is me, the treasure my newly acquired books, and the monster in the back my TBR xD

[Virginie]

Thanks Soo! Love the pics!

(and LOL at the female armor comments... So true :p)
