What’s worse is now in old age I have to take photos of the maps on my phone to look at and ponder in the wee hours of sleepless mornings. My memory doesn’t have the bandwidth for maps and royal lineages. GoT ruined me. Middle earth though is seared into my minds eye.

Oh, 💯 I feel SEEN. Add to this also reading across several genres and non-fiction/fiction at the same time to “keep on my toes”. Shit. Reading RULES (but seriously, where are my car keys?)

Well of course you need to prioritize. That third cousin, thrice removed, is the true heiress due to her auburn locks found only in pure-bred descents of Northeastlandia mountain dwellers, even if she hails from a fisher-folk family on Lower-Other-Hemispheria.

Fantasy readers can trace every royal scandal across seven dynasties in four books, but still can’t name the US presidents in order. (I mean, who cares about history anyway? It’s just old dead white guys who owned slaves! 🤷‍♂️)

This we consider to be a blip in the horizonal alignment of precious gems in novels of long lasting breaches into the realm of pure disillusional forestation fired by waves of pronounced imposibilities coupled with those elemental fragment encased by hyper tossed salads with greek yogurt lubrication

My cousin has learned Klingon & Dothraki, like fluently. I mean I do think it is very impressive albeit useless. However, for some reason he cannot remember what happened five minutes ago, and he forgets his coffee on top of his car at least twice a week. 🤷🏻‍♀️
