Last Dragon Standing, last (5th) book in Rachel Aaron’s Heartstriker series. Good ending to a good series. Even being aware of the theme and having a solid guess how it would likely end, there were still surprises - good surprises, not “where the hell did that come from?!” surprises, which is one of the reasons I keep reading Aaron’s books: the worlds and magic systems she creates have rules and they don’t get broken for dramatic or plot reasons; the fun is seeing how they are interpreted and used by the various characters in pursuit of their (often conflicting) goals. #rachelaaron #urbanfantasy #dragons #heartstrikers #bookstr #book #fiction #rustypuppyreads

The morning mountain walks have gotten slower because the Saskatoon berries are ripe and Mom’s lab acts like a vacuum cleaner, eating as many as he can of the ones that fall on the road …. before he goes straight for the berries still on the bushes. 🙄 #proofofwalk #dogstr #labseatanything

Dragon of a Different Color by Rachel Aaron, #4 in the Heartstriker series. Nice follow up to the plot threads of book 3 (No Good Dragon Goes Unpunished). New dragons, various characters level up, Big Picture gets Bigger, and something that makes utter sense given the rules of the world but was still a shocker. Really liked Marci’s journey through this book, though since her and Julius spend most of the novel apart from each other, every chapter alternates POV …. which means for most of the middle I just skip chapters to follow a single POV. 😬 Also this cover is soooo reminiscent of Mary GrandPré’s original illustrations for the Harry Potter books because there’s a freaking spoiler in it that means nothing to you until you’ve read the story. 🤣 On to the last book, whose cover proves this whole thing has always been about Bob. 😉 #rachelaaron #urbanfantasy #dragons #heartstrikers #bookstr #book #fiction #rustypuppyreads

Finished a Skillshare class on a method to doodle draw people by reducing and abstracting them to basic shapes and forms. Then playing with poses, accessories, clothes, scenery, animals. The last doodle (bottom right) was a self-portrait: me on the couch with my stuff. #art #artstr #doodleart #people #drawing #selfportrait
