*gags* Oh my God. What is that in the bag...?

What books? Saw cashore and Lo on your list earlier, both my jam so much (Huntress is my favorite YA book full stop, snow queen inspired fantasy with ladies kissing and perfect prose YEASSSASS) so I'm interested in what you're looking forward to since I'm not caught up with current books at all right now.

 

Huntress was nearly perfect. I liked Ash too.

Others...

Spoiler

Ellen Oh’s “King” (Prophecy Book 3)

N K Jemisin has a new series coming out starting with “The Fifth Season”

Michelle West's “Oracle” (finally), which I think is her fourteenth book in that universe.

Kate Elliot has two new series coming out this year (Court of Fives and Black Wolves)

The sequel to Kameron Hurley's “Mirror Empire” is in September. That one is going to be way darker than I usually read, but her world and characters are very interesting.

 

There's a lot of Tamora Pierce I still haven't read.

My "read soon" list has a couple dozen books in it, but a lot of those are authors I've never read before so I don't know if I'll be into them.

About that Audrey Hepburn commercial, I have to say that while I disagree strongly with Dygre about short hair being unattractive, I think he's right about the creepy factor. It just looks a bit... Off... There's a bit of uncanny valley going on there, I think.

I think the whole idea of using dead actors to do ads is a bit off. What's next? New films with dead stars? It's very creepy!

 

*Thanks for the Uncanny Valley link. Nice to know there's a term for it.

Dygre said short hair is unattractive...   mah feels.

Well I think it's more creepy when they use dead artists in concerts and such, yunno those hologram things, so wrong to me.

The man is clearly wrong. What can I say?

There's a kind of necrophilia feeling to it that's very gross. The real villains in the whole thing are the people who create this stuff for profit.

Don't worry, Biscuit. Short hair is very attractive.

Agreed. I'd rather they keep finding new talent and using their role to better people's careers. I mean the classics will always be classics, but they should be left in their time period.

I know The Crocodile Hunter. Used to watch him on TV until his tragic demise. I just didn't get the reference because the last time I watched him, I was a child.

Just so you know, Hepburns family allowed for them to use her. Just so you know they didn't steal her soul or anything.

You will never have a shortage of those willing to creep on you!

idk soul stealing is profitable this year

Oh I am sure! It's not the most awful example but I do think with the practice of doing this we are entering a grey area. I think we have to be careful not to be too goulish. When it gets to the point of should they do, say, a new John Wayne film for example or recreate a Beatles tour using holographic images then we might be going a bit too far with tech. But that's just my opinion.
