Birthday Rec Party

[forestofglory]

It's my birthday so I thought I'd host a rec party. I love both giving and receiving recs! It's fun to tell people about things I love and it's fun to discover new things that other people love.

So in the comments either recommend something you think I'd like or ask for a rec. Or both, both is good too.

You can rec or ask for recs of books, short fiction, fanfic, vids, music, meta, manga, recipes or anything else that comes to mind.

I'm always interested in cool ecological worldbuiling; fiction with lots of food; architectural and urban planning themes; and stories about moms. However don’t feel limited by this list I’m happy to hear about all kinds of things you like. Please do warn for dead moms and children in peril. If you want to see what I've been into recently you can check out my media roundup tag.

Happy recing!

Indeed, I bounced off the book three or four times because who wants to be in that dude's head?

It was particularly meaningful once I'd escaped his viewpoint, since there was a Viet Nam war in progress.

I'm glad its not just me! And I felt similarly about Le Guin's Voices and the Iraq war.

That entire series--Voices and the other two--felt so magical and right to me, like they were books I had loved my entire life from the first time I read them.
